CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING MAY 1st, 1920 10,619 TWO NEEDED MEASURES. Along with some of the other: legis- lation which it is hoped to get out of the way during this session of congress, there are two matters which should not be overlooked in the efforts to dispose of business before the date settled upon for adjournment. These matters are the provision of a foderal budget system and legislation whieh will properly protect the American dye busfhess. Both of these have been under consideration for a long time. It is gemerally recognized that there is need for such measures and ainly congress will be remiss in its if it does not provide them. here is a difference of opinion as to what form the protection for the erg in this country should take, but sueh a division ought not to be al- lowed to prevent the safeguarding of t ndustry or be allowed to act in the ment to the former Eu- i'ion which made It impos-| to be carried on in at investments have American capital to estab- this country dye and chemical by h will make us independent s, her coun It is found that we e req *ments of ' ve lald the foundation | developments provided this s not subjec’ed to foreign tion which could if permitted ; it out of business.

Whather it is correct to say that the pulp wood supply will be exhausted in 8 period of 25 years if the rate of con- eumption qutinued as at present and no steps taken to meet the situation de- pends upon a knowledge of the available resources and the rate of consumption as well as the steps that are being taken to bring about a replacement of the ma- terlal used, but if there has been a dis- position in the past to look upon the re- s as limitless, to consider that & need toybe done to make certain re supply and to think that there need be no curtailment of waste it can- fail to be pretty well dissipated by ion that is now faced. Whether Mr. Munsey is right in fixing the next guarter of a century as the mit of the present print paper re- sources, or whether the limit should be he question but what there is need for looking to the futwre. With pa- pers being forced out of business in large numbers and others to inecrease thelr price and to festrict thetr advertis- g as well as the size of the paper in general. because of the price that is de- manded for paper and the difficulty in etting it. it becomes evident that great- r attentlon must be given to the source of supply than has been considered nec- ¥ M the past. stead of plunging ahead into an in- creased and needless use of print paper, and there can be no question but what much of it Is absolutely wasted, there must be rigid conservation and at the me time a large amount of work needs to be done in reforestation. Those areas whi have been denuded of trees in making newsprint should be recovered with the trees that are the most desira- ble for such requirements. Trees do not <row over night. It requires from 20 to 30 years to get them in the best on- ditlon for the desired use so that what- ever is done in the way of developing new pulp wood areas would not become productive for some years There should and must bs early attention given to this phase of the matter since .t Is to a cer- tain degree because of the procrastina- tion in this undertaking that the news- print situation is what it is today. {emediate WATCHING THE PRIMARIES, For the purpose of finding out the sen- timent of the different sections of the country in respect to the candidate fa- vored for nominee as president at the re- publican convention at Chicago, interest is bound to surround the primaries ifi a number of the important states this week. a It was with the same thing in view that last week's primaries were looked forward to with keen interest since it was expected that theré would be impor- tant revelations and possibly -a com- manding lead taken by some one of the candidates which would be of such sig- nificance as to make it impossible for the convention not to be guided thereby. Buch failed, however and the greatest insight into the coming convention as shown by this week's expression may be that which is anticipated rather than that which is actually revealed. In Maryland the contest is between Wood and Johnson with the possibility that it may bé a repetition of the New Jersey result. If by any change it should go to Johnson it would serve to materially increass his prestige. Particular interest is bound tq be cen- tered in the result in Indiana and Cali- fornia. In the former state the quartette eomnosed of Wood, Johnsen.

On the outcome will probably hinge . the chances of Harding remaining in the contest, while a runaway race by any one of the others would be of special significance. In California it is a contest between two favorite sons, Hoover and Johnson. They have not been in real serious con- flict since the opened, but in California it will be shown not only which the state prefers but it will be possible to get a line upon the prefer- ences of the state in regard to the treaty since Senator Johnson is irreconcilably opposed to the treaty in any form while Mr. Hoover favors ratifieation with res- crvatiens. General Wood has not en- tered ‘the contest in that state, while of course Johnson and Hoover have not been actively engaged there except through their friends. Thus far the primaries have been of little assistance in throwing light on the convention’s action and it will not be surprising if that same condition follows those of this weeks NEED MORE SHEEP. Is there any wonder that the people q{ the state of New Hampshire are mani> festing greater interest in the marketing of lambs, sheep and wool? They are concerned with the problem of disposing of this product of the farm when there is @ far greater demand than the supply and interest is being shown in the propo- sition of pooling the clips for marketing. It is probable that there.is need for this very action but there also seems to be need for greatly increasing the num- her of sheep in the state, a characteris- tic which prevails throughout New Eng- land. New Hampshire has been tending in the same direction as other states and in the past 30 years has dropped from more than 130,000 sheep to less than 21,- 000 sheep when it would be greatly to its advantage had it been engaged in doubl- ing its sheep in that period. ‘When it is advocated that there should be some sheep on every farm it is un- questionably a move in the right direc- tion. Sheep require the proper amount of care but not for a great amount of time. There are eXtensive areas in the New Pngland states where sheep grow- ing would take the place of what now amounts to little or nothing. Attention is now and then called to the fact that this part of the country Js mnot doing what ft shomld toward the providing of Such a charge is open to no other plea than guilty and while that is not the only direction in which New Englanders are finlling down in the utilization of their areas it is perfectly evident that it contributes to a consider- nble degree thereto. Nevertheless interest such as brings the raisers of sheep of a state to a gen- eral meeting gives indication of a deter: mination to tackle the recognized prob- lem in a manner that will change the situation. There is unquestionably a great demand for more wool and it can- not fail to be realized that the way to meet it and get the benefit of the busi- ness is to raise-more sheep. . THE BONUS OBSTACLES. In connection with the. soldier bonus legislation congress seems to be up against much the same proposition that many a householder is who has tried to indulge in the habit of spending all that he gets and a little more only to wake up some day to the fact that his financial condition is such that he cannot get enough money to buy some of the things he would buy if he were flush. There is of course opposition in con- gress, just as there is among the soldiers to the bonus idea. Presented as it has been at this time there are in all proba- bility enough who would vote for the vlan to pass it but they are up hard and fast against the troublesome task of finding or providing the money to pay the soldiers, for it would do no good to vote the bonus if there was no method provided for getting the money. Conditions are such that, the idea of a bond issue is generally regarded as un- wise. .The thought of making those Who have secured huge profits out of the war pay this bonus through a retroactive war profits tax was good as far as it went. It was the idea to make wealth respond to the sitwation, but it is plainly evident that such a tax could never be collected with- the funds distributed as they have been in that time. To have made tuat a success the effort should wave been undertaken about the time our boys were being called into the service. The sales tax seems to have been fa- vorably received but strong opposition to that has arisen, in congress and outside, for it of course means the imposition of additional expense to everybody at a time when they are demanding a reduc- tion. The longer the bonus idea is con- idered the more thoroughly is it being understood what it means and why there is so much opposition to it. EDITORIAL NOTES. Cold and chilly May isn’t contributing any help to the much upset agricultural situation. May came in with tears but it is to be hoped that it will break away from the habit of April. If there is any doubt about it being spring the taste of the city water quickly sets it at rest. The man on'the corner says: Even wings on- their shoes is bound to be a consolation to a good many. The great complaint just now is that it is too warm for the winter coats but not warm enough for the summer furs. The revolutionists are making such Vheadway in Mexico that there is a dispo- sition to take the reports with a pinch of salt. t l It is a cheering reflection that it is less than two weeks now to the time when the old straw hats can be called in- to service . In Chili a 40 million ton deposit of good quality coal has been found. Most anyone would like to dig that up in the back yard garden.

There W@t be a baker's dozen left here:after June fifth, whether congress actually ad- journs or takes a series of prolonged re- cesses through the summer. In fact there will be nothing pressing to keep them here for the appropriation bills are even ‘now practically cleared ‘from the slate and except the soldier bonus and the peace resolutions, nothing of importance is in sight. Congress has made a record for quick and effective work that has not been equalled for a.number of years, The bonus bill is a thorn in the flesh of both parties. They have got in much deeper than they intended—and now are confronted Wwith increasing .the taxes to a point almost unbgarable or dropping the matter, except®for such men as are wounded or in need. It is useless to pre-| dict the outcome, The republicans want to favor the sol- diers, yet they want to live up to their promise to reduce expenses and so keep “economy” for their campaign slogan. The democrats want to help the soldiers but they want,even more to be able to twit the republicans of failure to reduce expenses and make republican extrava- gance their slogan. They can’t do this, if they vote for the bonus themselves. Prob- ably both pagties proposed bonus is very uncertaim at this ‘mement. Thers is no mews about the president, except for an occasional short automo- bile ride. He still remains closely con- fined to the White House or grounds, and all intention to secure a summer home in New England seems to have been abandoned. The white house is beautiful- ly located in the midst of large shaded grounds; it is cooled by an ice plant; fitted out with electric fans and if there is a breeze from the Potomac, the White house gets the benefit, for it is almost within a stone throw of the broad river. There is no doubt but what the presi- dent will be far more comfortable, in his weakened condition, surrounded by the comforts of that great house, with the presidential yacht, the Mayflower at his beck and call, than he would be at any resort. Moreover, the president shrinks from close observation and the gaze of the curious since his sickness, and the seclusion of the white house appeals far more to him personally, than does the splendid estates in New England which have been placed at his disposal. Only the enerva heat of a semi-south- ern city will induce him to consider a, change, and it is doubtful if even that will pursuade him to go north. The new British ambassador, Sir Aunk- land Geddes, expects very soon to be re- ceived by the president.

Congress is taking up the matter of wood pulp shortage in hope of some &r- ranzement with Canada wherehy the sup- ply of wood will be increased in the United States. The shortage of news print paper and other printing paper is 80 Serious that its total exhaustion is threatened to such an extent that un- til reforestation and other preventative measures can be got well under way Can- ada must furnish a larze amount of the pulp wood to insure the safety of the Cnited States.

Such a resolution has passed the senate and hearings are in progress be- fore the foreign affairs committee of the house. At the hearing today when New England men appeared favoring the res- olution it was suggested that Canada Is In as great need of sulpher and anthra- cite from the United States as we are of pulp wbod from Canada and that if re- ciprocal relations are not resumed con- gress will take steps to preserve for its own use such necessities in wood manu- facturing as it now imports to Canada. The resolution urges the removal of Canadian restrictions regarding the pulp wood as now exist in Canada and New Brunswick.

So the government would be at practically no added expense if the congressional plans were carried out.

He went right up into the air as usual, when I observed that housecleaning was to begin —only he went farther.

No doubt I was planning a Fourth of July housecleaning, too, and another on Washington's birth- peace by opposing the Knox resolution, declaring peace with Germany and Aus- tria. “It would be fatal to our party,” said he, “to refuse to secure peace for the third time. The democrats have twice rejected peace by refusing to rati- fy the treaty and it would be extremely impolitic to refuse a jthird time by re- jecting the Knox resolution.” It is ex- bected Senators Shields, Reed and other democratic senators will also support the peace resolution. Senator Underwood, the newly elected democratic floor leader was an advocate of accepting the Lodge reservations as the best that could be done under the circumstances, but whether he will advocate the acceptance of the Knox resolution is considered very doubtful. Five Minutes a Day With Our Presidents Copyright 1920—By James Morgan XLV—IN POLITICS, LOVE AND LAW 1835-43—Abraham Lincoln in the Il- linois Legislature. 1836—Declared for Womah Suffrage. 183f—>Moved to Springfield, I, and beeame a lawyer. Took his stand against slav- ery. 1842—Nov. 4, married Mary Todd. One day while he was a storekeeper in New Salem, Lincoin's long arm fished out of a barrel of odds and ends a copy of Blackstone's Commentaries. Over its fascinating pages he pored day after day as he lay on the ground outside his now negiected store, with his feet resting high against the trunk of a shade tree. The volume finished he began to borrow other works on law from a lawyer .in Springfield, and people remembered in all after years the picture of the tall barefoot student intently reading as he walked the tén miles of dusty road. Before he became a lawyer, Lincoln’s neighbors elected him to the legislatuge, which was like a university for this un- schooled man, who never had lived in a town or associated with educated people. Nevertheless he straightway became a leader of the whigs and finally their can- didate for speaker. After Lincoln had become a rising young lawyer in Springfield, and while Mary Todd, daughter of a notable Ken- tucky family, was visiting the prairie woman accepted the shy railsplitter in capital, that pretty, high-spirited little preference to even 'such a graceful éour- tier as Stephen A. Dougulas. But on™the wedding day the bridegroom failed to appear for some reason that remains in dispute, probably from'ascorrect present- iment that they ‘were ill-mated in tem- perament. x Once more Lincoln was so tortured in his melancholy soul that friends anxious- ly watched over him, and he consulted by mail a Cincinnati physician, to whom he described his love sickness in the past and In the presmt. 1n the end his sense of duty or chivalry triumphed over his forebodings. As if determined to take no more chances with his wayward moods, he and_Miss Todd married in such haste that the bride had to wear a borrowed wedding gown. If either repented at leisure, neither ever gave voice to the re- penfance. At least, Lincoln’s knightly honor, single-minded, patient devotion were well vocates of a repeal or modificant on the olstead law will show up when the next vote is taken. Apparently it is the pur- pose of the wets to keep voting once in a while, and so keep the question in the pablic view, till a demand for a let-up in the enforcement is made. Pinkham, of Boston, a decided wet, beleves the best way to secure a repeal or morifi- cation is to strictly enforce the law and make it so objectionable that the public will clamor for a change.
