The planting of three and a half million trees within a period of eight years by a single corporation Is an item of practical forestry deserving the attention of students of forest conservation. In the adoption of its policy of tree planting the Pennsylvania Railroad company is acting under the pressure of economic necessity, the growing scarcity of railroad ties and the increasing cost of those available liaving pointed the necessity of making provision for the future. This great undertaking, calling for profes-i-ionnl skill of a high order, a very considerable outlay of land and capital and a patient waiting for results, is in line with other similar forestry experiments by railroads in the United States, but differs from all of them in its magnitude. Unlike some of the railroad "tie-wood plantations," those of the Pennsylvania are not confined to the cultivation of the quick-growing catalpa, but give preference to black locust and red oak. And the effort is not confined to the cultivation of Suitable timber, but involves the study and eradication of insect enemies of different trees and the perfection of wood preservative processes. Altogether the work is a complex and difficult one, but if it results in securing tp the railroads a regular and adequate supply of the material it will probably justify all the cost and trouble. Name Does Not Matter. From the New York World. To attempt as Senator Conger does to distinguish between blackmail and bribery in the payment of money to influence legislation is merely to quibble over the meaning of words The senate has not gone into com mittee of the whole to discuss defint tions but to investigate the use of money to defeat a bill that was in imical to the business interests of a member of the legislature. The ques lion is not by what name the trans action should be called, but what its essential nature was and who profit ed by it. The rest may be left to the lexicographers. The offense by either name is just as rank. When Bryan Is Away. From the Newark News. It Is a curious fact that these antlBryan conferences usually occur while Mr. Bryan is abroad, and always when there is no campaign in sight. Philadelphia Fencibles. From the Houston Post. We should think Pennsylvania would change the name of that military company to the State lndefensibles. The Soft Answer. From the Detroit Journal. Japans answer to Mr. Leslie M. Shaw's war scare is simply to entertain visiting Americans even more lavishly than usual. Vag 'Em Mars! From the Chicago News. Why is Mars, the sky policeman, permitting all these tramp comets to clutter up space? Revolutionary. From the Omaha Bee. The Zelaya book on the Nicaraguan political and bellicose difficulties ought to be named the "Scrap Book." TWINKLES (By Philander Johnson.) Not Our Language. "Your wife says your youngest baby can talk." "Yes," answered Mr. Bliggins, with a slight hesitation. "But he appears to take naturally to something like Volapuk or Esperanto." , V Sighs. "What was the bridge of sighs?" &Aked the woman who was looking at the picture book. "I suppose." replied Mrs. Flimgilt, "that it is one of those sanies in

A COURT OF CONSCIENCE. Too little attention has been paid by the people of this community to the subject of juvenile crime, it is doubtful if one out of ten knows the work of Judge Fox as a juvenile judge. And yet, those who will think, will realize that the greatest work is the prevention rather than the punishment of crime and as such the judge of the juvenile court must be the agent in this work. Those who place great stress on the dime novel and the evil of cigarette smoking as the root of all juvenile crime may or may not be right. It is our opinion that the most of the juvenile offenders are not born, but made. And the greatest factor in the manufacture of real criminals is the old time treatment of juvenile crime. As Judge Fox said the other night: "Too often children are harshly dealt . with. Too often they are hastily condemned by imprisonment in the Reform School or otherwise. If a child is committed to the Reform School his life is shadowed by a cloud of suspicion. It is not unusual for a young person to commit acts that are criminal without realizing what they are doing. In such a case a child should not be charged and punished as a criminal. To do so may make him such. To imprison a child for his first offense and brand him as a "jail bird" is to crush him. Often punishment in such cases is a greater offense than the crime committed. Kindness with a susceptible child will accomplish more in the right direction than the strong arm of the law. It is better to arraign him in a court of conscience and let sympathy plead his cause, than to accuse him in a criminal court in a spirit of vengeance." It is in this work and from this point of view that the court deserves the hearty co-operation of the community. Up to this point we think we are not mistaken in saying that the attitude has been one of ignorance if not indifference on the part of the citizens. Too many have arisen to say that the court is too lenient. It is a court of conscience a school to inculcate responsibility that the community needs and not a mill for the propagation, by punishment, of crime. It is not alone the courts it is our laws that need attention in dealing with children. This is the point that Judge Fox brought out. In other words, the judge should be given the means with which to do his work. On this point he said: ' Juvenile courts are an innovation involving much of public interest, and for this reason the laws governing them should be carefully prepared. Such laws, being objective, should be framed to meet existing conditions. In this respect some of our reform laws need reforming. I do not want it understood that I am in any wise condemning juvenile courts nor the purpose for which they are instituted." Judge Fox is undeniably right in his attitude that the juvenile criminal question is greater than a mere fad. The question is fundamental. We should like to see the laws of the state carefully considered by common sense men like Judge Fox and some definite action taken to make the state of Indiana foremost in the sane work of criminal prevention among children by the furtherance of courts of conscience.

"At the present prices of shoe leather I hope it sets the fashion." March 4. A touch of sadness haunts the sunny cheer, For it must mar our sentiments so gay To waste this weather which, another year. Would make a glad inauguration day. A Question of Identity. "Oh. let the other fellow do the worrying," said the happy-go-lucky man. "A great many people say that," replied the man who worries, "and it seems as if I were nearly always pick ed out to be the other fellow." The Gates of Summer.

Tennyson once told Sir Henry Taylor that be thanked God Almighty with his whole heart and soul that he knew nothing and that the world knew nothing of Shakespeare but his writings and that he knew nothing of Jane Austen and that there were no letters preserved either of Shakespeare or of Jane Austen; that they, in fact, had not been "ripped open like pigs."

Business Review of The Past Week by Henry Clews

Another week of comparative quiet, has passed, during which the tendencies on the Stock Exchange were visibly toward improvement. The undertone is stronger, and confidence is rising. At the same time there are enough uncertainties to prevent any premature upward movement. Labor troubles are creating a good deal of uneasiness in corporation circles, especially as the season is approaching when restlessness of this character is usually most active. In a number of cases concessions have been made to .employes, but the violence shown in Philadelphia naturally arouses fears of possible disturbances elsewhere. It is not forgotten also that the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases are still before the Supreme Court, and that a decision may be anticipated at almost any time in the next few months. There is less fear of a drastic opinion than a few months ago, but these two cases are in any event important elements of uncertainty. Some further hesitation has been induced by sensational reports of damage to the winter wheat crop, but as th,ese prove to have been much exaggerated they may be dismissed; it being too soon to form any reliable idea as to the condition of the winter wheat crop. When it comes to considering the fa vorable features the balance appears to be largely on the side of the latter. The political skies are brightening, and unreasoning, hostility to corporations Is slowly abating. Business conditions are. generally satisfactory, although there is some slight cessation of activity in certain lines, as is usual at this period of the year before the spring trade sets in. Dry goods buyers are especially conservative for the reason that distributers refuse to stock up freely at present high prices. Both cotton and woolen goods have shown a slight weakening in values, which it need hardly be said is unsatisfactory to manufacturers, especially in view of the present small margin between raw materials and finished product and the prospect of labor difficulties. In the iron trade, however, the better trade observed a week ago continues. The railroads are already appearing as more active buyers and with the disappearance of winter construction work will revive and result in a better demand for all kinds of building materials. There is little doubt that the iron trade has turned the corner and will enjoy several months of continued activity. In the money market conditions are also satisfactory, and aside from the usual temporary stringency about the first of April the outlook is for continMM

assert themselves. The foreign money markets are also easv and in sound condition, all of which will powerfully tend to encourage world-wide recovery, Our foreign trade is still a source of some dissatisfaction because of large imports and small exports, and this situation is not likely to be corrected while the price of leveling the United States is so much above that abroad. Either foreign prices must rise to a closer parity with ours, or our own prices must recede, which is hardly to be expected until abundance takes the place of scarcity. This condition in our foreign trade suggests the probability of large gold exports during the coming spring, the only check to which will be foreign purchases of American securities. Fortunately, conditions are somewhat favorable in this respect. Money abroad, as just said, is easv notwithstanding this week's loss off gold to the Bank of England, and the disposition toward American securities is distinctly more satisfactory since the January decline. There is a good demand for bonds both at home and abroad, and the improvement in this respect must be accepted as a better indication for stocks. About $."Vo.(xio,new issues have been announced this week and more are pending, ineluding a block of New York city fours. The treasury situation is better than at one time anticipated. Customs receipts have been heavy and returns from the Corporation Ta are likely to exceed early- estimates. This delays an issue of a government loan, though should the Corporation Tax be declared unconstitutional the treasury would be short the amount collected. Our rail roads are enjoying a large traffic; the results for January proving much better than expected. If this condition of affairs continues it will tend to offset the disquiet caused by demands for higher wages. The withdrawal of the leading Rockefeller interests from their various activities is not likely to have any material effect upon the market. For some time past this enormous power has made itself felt only in the investment market. As a speculative factor the Rockefeller fortune has been of small influence, except in times of panic to check disaster. Mr. Rockefeller and his son have been builders rather than speculators, and their more complete withdrawal from active business means much less to the stock market than the retirement or the death of Mr. Harriman, who was essentially a man of speculative proclivities. The outlook for the market must be regarded as promising. There is still a considerable short interest, which is

Mr. Parry U paired with Mr. McCoy of Indianapolis. Field examiners work in pairs inasmuch as the work isgreatly facilitated and the examiners are thus protected from charges by any disgruntled officials, whose records could not stand the light of Investigation. Mr. Parry is very much pleased with his work and says that the law will not only prove very popular, but will be instructive and furthermore prevent juggling of records. Audacity.
