Frequently do wé come face to face with the matter of high prices without undérstanding the reason for such. To- day people will Point out the marked difference betivéén th@ price fur various kinds of limber in comparison with what was paid some yedrs ago. The change is decided, and not only that but it is in a good way ¢o become much worse unless steps are taken to over- come one important reason for it. There 4s In sessioh in Boston this week & sonfress of the foresters of New England and they are putting emphasis upon this very matter and endeavoring 10 bring the people of the New England states to a Pealization of the conditions, that greater action may be taken to Gvercome them. It is to a ghéat extent » reiteration of the old story of de- nuded New England hillsides and des pendence upon other states for the lum- ber required while the amount of waste land continues to increase, It is’ ond of the ways in Which New England must give consileration to the mainte- hancé of its indistries. New Enghand s producing less thah a billlon and a half board feet of Tumber and a million ind & halt cords of pulp wood; but 49 per tent of thé lumber utilized is éb- tained from outside, soifie from the other side of the country. 3 It is frequently pointéd .ut that thers are’ plenty of trees to be seen, but at the rate the wooded areas are disap- pearing the Supply of lumber and puip wood Will be exhausted in 32 years. Much cih be done in the way of new prowth in that time if an exténsive of- tort is béegtin mow in the way of re- forestation, It & a situdtion that floesn’t warrant further delay. Not only fo we need the lumber but therp Is fyuite s good need for converting the waste land inté dividend producing tracts.- Likéwise the opportunity of svercoming the hige transportation ex- pense involved 'in getting lumber from Bistant points is not to be overlooked when it is realied that in Comneeticut alone something like three milllon aos- lars are spent yearly for transporting the imported. lumben The foresters are placing much em- phasis upon thé situation but they have every reason Yor doiig 80.

What appedr to bé éfforts to throw themselves into ¢he lmelight “have re- senfly been revealed by the action & members of congress through. the pres-, entatlon of amendments’ to &ppropria- tlori bills in which they undértake to tell the administration what it ought to flo, only te have it announced after #hch améhdfments have beer offered that what was sought i only what the tdministration has under way. It was only & fe® years ago that in- structions were offéred to the président to call a conference of the foreign pow- ers with & view to placing a limft on the number bf warships under 10,000 tons that could ®e’ built. Since then 8énatbr Borsh has lalfiched his amend- ment urging the predident to call an economic conterence to deal with the lils of Europe, No effort was apparently made to find out what, if anything, the admin- istration Was doing along thess lines, ind it was not until debate was en- gaged in concerning the' amendments was it brought out that the adminis- tration had long since anticipated such matters, had engaged in ingnifiés and was as much with them as conditions would ‘justity. The imendments ' are = to) the discre- tion of the echiet tve, oven M kdopted, but they are uhcalled for and In the case of the latter £o far beyond anything that this country ecould expect to undertake, Senator Bofsh s uhdértakini gate authority to the présidén knowing what the sitnation might re- giire.

Any community that can pride Itself upon respect for established law will tolerate no such performance. There is no justification for it. I those men who 'were killed trere guilty of an of- fense there was the machinery availa- ble for dealing with them. 088 Who undertook to take thé law into their: own bands Should have been more ea- ger to give thelr support to the en- forcement of the law rather than tty- ing to place themselves abové the law. It was of coursy nothing more than the outcropping of that deplorable Jynching spirit that pervades too great a part of thé south, and which has un- fortunately been too successful in shielding Its own lawlessness wnue shouldering ths responsibility of exa ing frightful penalties for various in- fraction$ by othérs, Those who were guilty ' of participating in the Mer Rouge affairs should get the full penai- ly gsor their crimés AUTOS AND HIGHWAYS. Two important propositions are to come béfore the general assenibly at the comilng session and both are prompted by the automobolles. Because of thé large amount of Mo- tor traffic on ths road betwen Bridge- port and New York, and the largs pro- portion of slower moving vehicles to! the faster ones, there is advanced the idea of building an entirely new high- way between the cities for the purpose of taking care of the traffic and reduc- ing the liability of accidents. The aim would be to have the trucks use one highway and the pleasurt vehicles the other, though the difficulty of enforcing such an arrangement would be appar- ent. This of course means a further dis- crimination in favor of the motor trucks over the railroads in the matter of transportation since the roads are obliged to build their own lines and pay taxes for that which is provided for the motor truchs doing the same busi- ness. Another proposition, and ohe that is advanced by the motor vehloles eom- missioner, i8 to establish 2 court for the purpose of dealing with the cases: aris- ‘ing from the automobiles. .There ~are communities where much business re- sults frofa that reason. Traffic courts would indicate a specialization in that slme of offenses with a view to speeding wuctlon and the dealing out of justice to all concerned, without the w'de variety of fines that are imiposed today. ‘That there will be other bills con- cerning the automobile is to be expect- ed. There Is seldom a session of the legislature without such matters get- ting their share of attentioh, but it re- mains to be seen whether Connecticut 18 prepared to go into the heavy expén- ditures that would be involved by these wwo leading measures Which have thus waken more or less uennite shape. LOUIS PASTEUR. Whils the celébration of the centen- ary of the bifth of Louls Pasteur was entered in Paris, most every qudreer .1 the globe had an interest therein be- cause of the Important - contributiont which the great scientist made to the ofld as the resuit of his long and de- ;"oted etddies for the relief of human- 3. It would be impossible to tell how aduch good has been aeccomplished by @iscoveries r how many lives have ocen Saved 28 the resuit of his suctess- ful éxperiments.

Then following years of close attention to the treat- ment of hydrophobia he wis able to! overcome the hofrors of that térrible distase shd the Pasteur’ tréatfibht for Such cases is a great rellét to man- ®ind. Pasteur was not given to aimassing wealth. ' He was engaged in that most commendable work of serving others and it was a service that brought him muth happiness and a reputation that will last. through the cénturies, even though it didn't make him = illioh- aire. 4 Francé, particularly, has &véry reason to be proud of him and his accomplish- ments. But that pride is by ho means confined to France. His abillty as a solentist places him in the fromt rank of those whd have contribited invaludbie discoveries to the world and Whose name continues to be fréquently refer- red to though it is mearly & gquarter of a ventury since his death occurred. zinu'omn; .

Cousin Pillbrook looked us over and shook his head, but finally he said he guessed he’d have to trust us and could either of us drive a horse? “We had the nicest ride over to the place where the cow and the chickens were waitirig and 1 decided right then and there that I should simply love to be a farmer, what with all that fresh air and sunlight. “I had no idea Cows were so big. The neighbor tied her on behind with a rope ' and set the crate of hens at our feet. The situation made me somewhat nerv- ous. 1f I turned around to see whether the Guernsey was going to take a bite out of my secalskin, I was afraid a hen would nip my ankle. The entire animal outfit eyed us with Wdisapproval and lurking enmity. We had to drive at a wallc becanse if we tried to hurry the cow balked and threatened to tip over the buggy. The sun was going down and we were within a half mile of home when, suddenly suspicious of the cow’s meek silence I looked around. There was no cow. “Ferdinand and I were tarror-stricken.

We kept walking faster and faster for a miile and a half. If it takes a cow an hour to navigate a certain distance tied to the back of a buggy it géts me how she can return over the same road in half the time, because that is what this cow certainly did. When we came to a lighted farmhouse we dashed in and told our sad story, and the noble farmer and his hired man man joined us and we at last discovered the Guernsey eating a dried hazel bush near the farm she had started from. - “And they drove us back, too, leading the cow through the dark, to where we had tled our horse and buggy. The horse had gnawed a fence plank in two and the chickens were gone. e had disembarked in such haste that I guess one of us stépped on the crate and cracked a lath, and trust those indignant hens to tunnel a way out! “By this time we were so hungry and sad that we didn't care if the chickens did have double pneumonia, so we went on to Cousin Pillbrok’'s bringing the cow in triumph and found them just or- ganizing a_searching party. Still, as Cousin Pillbrook said somewhat acidly, what can one expect of persons who are 80 - doggone ignorant! But the discour- agement has somewhat lessened my zest for taking up farming myself!” “My goodness!” said the friend in the new fur wrap, “you had better stick to safe places like towns where cows come in steaks and bottles!"—Exchange.
