FEW GET AWAY. Those who have tried it have pretty thoroughly demonstrated the fact thft it is next to useless for those who are con- institutions think that they can get away wifh the funds without being detected or punish- ed. Either through some misguided no- tion or an idea that they are a hit more clever than others, there are those who persist in having their personal experi- ence in such matters to the extent of self enlightenment, the bringing of dis- grace and the blasting of promising . futures. 3 Recently Hartford has had two cases and following closely thereafter a Barre, Vt, man'is arres‘ed for embez- |zlement from an institution of which he ! was the president. .

Methods have been devised for the prevention and detection of just such cases. They are more thorough in some instances than they are in others, but from the fact that employes and officials are able to get away with 4 certain amount of the funds, even temporarily, it is apparent that measures for stopping such cannot be permitted to remain .lax.

It is a wild notion that is held by those who think they can.get rich quick at an- other's expense but every instance that is brought to light calls for and doubt- less will receive such - attention” as te make similar moves unattractive in the future. This is made necessary by the fact that there is no telling where light- ning is going to strike and it is well to be prepared. THE NATION’S FORESTS, Efforts to bring about & better ecooper- ation between nation and states regard- ing the protection and development of forests throughout the country have long been underway. The need of such action has been demonstrated in many ways so that it was only what was ex- pected when the forestry teachers and foresters at a 1eeting at New Haven: should again call to Attention the need of giving the forestry problem of thej country greater at‘ention, The intoads which have been made in- to the timber supply of the country through the demands for lumber, through wastage and through fires have served to cut deeply into tha mnatural resources. While we are using our lumber supply faster than it can be grown there doesn't appear to be & proper realization of the situation that as faced or a recognition of the need of providing against the time in the future when the supply must end. In order o insure enough timber for the needs of the nation jn years to come there should be due eonsideration given to the work of reforestation, cven as attention is directed toward the protec- tion of what is already possessed. Tre- mendous losses are experienced each year from fire in spite of what is already being done to guard against it, while lit- tle attention is given to the full utiliza- tion of the trees that are-cut. For the preservation of certain forest lands, both- for lumber and the protection of watersheds there have been large tracts of woodland acquired by the gov- ernment. There is likewise an excellen: opportunity for’ the government to co- to| Staunch allegiance to {Spécial ‘to The Bulletin) . - ‘Washington, D. C., Dec. 20.—New En- gland looms big in the foreground of cabinet possibilities. First of all fer- mer Senator John W. Weeks of Massa- chusetts is very gemerally recognized as @ valuable asset of the republican party trees but to those who produce them and|and even though Mr: Harding has not | p; yet even hin.ed who Will get pesitions in his official family, no one here do but what Weeks can have pretty near- —or will even consent to enter the cabinet. Usually_ when it is said a man “is being urged fo accept” a poitical of- fice it means simply that his friends want to eall attention to his availability but in the Weeks case-it is exactly the reverse. The qualifications, ability, party policies and principles, together with his broad views' on national nn‘z}v e!l:nernl!hmal uestions, put Captain Weeks in front rank of cahinet possibilities. That both as a legislator and business man fit him for several cabinet posi:ions rec- ognized here by men of both political parties. He was graduated ffom the na- val academy at Annapolis, and served as captain during the Spanish-American war; he is a financier of note; he was ranking member of the military affairs committee of the senate and would to- day be its chairman, had he been re- elecied; he ‘was high maen in the post office committee When parcels post, leg- islation and other forward looking steps were taken by congress to im- prove the service; he was a high man on the committee on banking and cur- rency when the federal reserve act was framed. So he would fit well ‘into the Secretaryship of the ireasury,-the navy, the post office or the war department shoutd he enter the Harding cabinet. As ronking member of the military committee Weeks fought with determi- nation against -the mismanagement, waste -and extravagance Which marked the policy of that department in the war. As a result he drew down on his head the determined opposition of the admin- istration which together With certain factional disturbances in his state re- sulted in his defeat for reelection in 1918. But he didn’t blink an eyelid. He immediately became a party leader and this year was the guiding hand in map- ping out the policy under which the Harding campaign was managed, So whatever Mr. Weeks wants he undoubt- edly can have, and the country be ben- efitted thereby. Senator Lodge likewise is universally acknowledged to be ideal timber for sec- retary of state. Bat it is whispered that Mr. Lodge prefers to hold the sen- ate leadership and the chairmanship of the senate committee on tions rather than enter the cabinet with jts more restricted scope, all powerful| a new .international policy. But Mr. Lodge isn't the sort of .man who talks about his personal preferences, so what he will do or will not do is a matter of speculation. It's certain however, that he is at this moment the most influential man in the nation concerning interna- tional policies and that Mr. Harding has been in close and frequent consuitation with him from the date of hig nomina- tion. Nobody doubls Mr, Lodge's qual- ifications and complete mastery of inter- national \law and history. Even men Who differ with him to the point of the most bitter and determjned opposition, recognize his great statesmanship and realize he is in @ class of his own far ahead of all others. DBut the sentiment ‘odfl,?)s that he will remain in the sen- ate. There have been gquiet comments on the desirability of putting Congressman John Q. Tilson of New Haven into .a position of hign rank under -the Hard- ing administration. His experience as expert on ordnance as a member of the military - affairs committee all through the great war; his exp®rience as an of- ficer in both the Spanish-American'war and on'the border during our recent troubles with Mexico eminently fit him for a high position in the war depart-! ment, and its been whispered that he would fit well into the position of sec- retary of war, should that office be be- stowed on a New England man. But whether Tilson gets a cabinet, or a near cabinet office, He is certain to figure largely, in the framing of a policy And a military bill, for his' knowl- edgs and experfence {n military affairs puts him in the front rank of congress, although last session he ‘was promoted to a position on the all important com- mittee on ways and means.

An attempt was made then 1o pass a resolution which would have fepealed them. Congress favored it but The President Wilson put his s'amp of dis- I uvor it and it failed. While oluti was killed the demand Wag not and how congress feels about ‘it well indicated by the aetion which was recently taken in the lower house where a resolution was passed provid- ing that all war legislation except the trading with the enemy act, the war fi- nance corporation act and its amend- ments and the laws dealing with the is- swance of Liberty and Vietory bonds be repealed. It doesn't say that the war is over, but it ends much war legislation. That the sen view is to be e the country in this respect is to be con- #ldered and in view of the expression of he people at the pojls in not improbable that the govern hig action upon it in accord therewith, or expect to have his veto yvesridden AGAINST HIGH PRICES.

That there are enough trees to serve each year President Pack ad- mits and he sees no harm from the for- estry standpoint that there should be the large cutting each year provided it is roperly done, but in view of the small price that those who raise and cut them get, and the unwarranted prices de- manded by the profiteers he has felt it necessary to say for the protection of the people that family-size trees ough not to bring over a dollar and the ordi- mary apartment house size not over 5O cents to the trade in the big cities.

Nature offers some odd problems. A importanee undouhtedly Merritt of the | Fourth district would be rushed to the ways and means in Tilson’s place, for although a new man here Mr. Merritt has made an unusual impression on congress for ability, and good sound judgment -which fits him for positions of great respousibility. “The proposed resolution reminds me of the comment of a distinguiehed for- eign ambassador upon taking. tis first drink of grape juice” said Senator Lean. *“It looks good and it tes good, but it does not accomplish any- thing.” Semator McLean was talking {o the senate against the proposed resolu- tion under which the certain men are| claiming farmers will be aided, but which Mr. McLean believes will inj them and that the legislaticn “i culous and in bad faith.” The senator's comparison brought shouts of laughter from the usually dignified 2nd staid sen- ators. Mr. McLean has always support- bed sych measures as he believes will benefit farmers, and he means now to such legislation as he be- be de’rimental to their inter- ests. In tais instance he was speak- ing on the proposed restraint put on federal reserve banks regarding loaning money to farmers. Mr. McLean be- | lieves the proposed measure while prom ising to aid farmers will really do| nothing for them as no funds will be available to meet the proposed loans. The immigration bill in the house found the Connecticut members holding ! widely divergent views. Mr. Tilson and Mr. Glynn voted against the measure on the ground that it did not shut out unde- sirables and did not let jn desirables. Mr. Merritt favored the bill because he believes the Un.led States has enougu immigrants here for the present. Mr Freeman has not yet returned to Wash- ington' after the six months recess, so his views are mot known. Congressman Tison of the ways and means committee has requested the treasury depariment to instruct customs officials to take samples of German cut- lfi imports in order that they may be available for the use of the committce in comparing their quality and value with ose of sAmerican make, the Ge partment has agreed to do so.

A bill to consolidate the three branches of war service—the war risi insurance, the vocational edueation ana the public health service has been in- troduced by Congressman Rogers of Massachusetts who believes much delay and suffering can ‘be saved ex-service men by such a combination of work. Mr. Rogers convinced service would be more expeditions and efficient under one management than now can be ac- complished under three. The national legislative committee of the American Lefion was in conference with Mr. Rogers this week, before he introduced his bill. He proposes to put the new branch-under the interior de- partment.
