The Star sincerely hopes that North Carolina will join immediately In the great and wise movement for refores tation, which the United States De partment of Agriculture is endeavor ing to introduce in a practical and sys tematic way. We should not cut away our forests and make no provision for future forests to furnish us timber aad fuel. With our forests all gone and none to replace them, we win one day realize what a great resource store. w destroyed and neglected to re- Even in Mexico the people are tak fmg enlightened action on the subject of restoring and perpetuating their for ests. A dispatch from the City of Cfexico says one of the great lumber ccxpaaies of that country is reforest Ing as fast as they cut away the tim ac. Says the dispatch: Th plan is to replace the trees aether axe cut off by planting others. The general manager is working out ttxe scheme on a practical, scientific basis and soon wll begin, the planting of : new trees with seeds of the same variety, of pine as. that cut off. After the trees are cut and the logs from butt to top taken down to the great mills,, tha limbs left on the ground are to be cut up j into wood and the tops piled and burned to prevent, fire. In proper season the reseeding. of the' ground will be carried out on the most ap proved plans of reforestation." The company which is making this wise and benign provision for the fu ture controls two and a half million acres of timber land in the States of Chihuahua and Sonora. The Washington Star notes this about the efforts in this country to conserve our forests: "The subject of reforestation, to gether with the irrigation of arid land and the un watering of swamp land, is engaging to a greater degree than ever before the attention of men who look beyond today. Europe for a number of years has been proceeding toward the preservation of ,her re maining forests, and the restoration of much forest land that has been de nuded. The government of the Unit ed States and the governments of several States have taken up the question of reforestation and timber preservation in a manner which prom ises to stay indefinitely the extinc tion of American woodlands. It is gratifying to observe that timber com panies themselves are looking to the future and taking measures for the re plenishment of their forest supply. The stripping, wasteful ways of the past are being abandoned." oity more , circulation. V The suggestion was. acted" upon and a ' dispatch from Washington a few days jago stated that the department employes - were busy sending out new circulation. It anbears. however, that there cannot be much relief from that source; so that it emplasizes the importance of sonra new financial legislation by. Con gress. The New York Journal of Com cerce, one of the ablest financial au thorities of the country, says of this feature of the plans to relieve the fi nancial situation: "In spite of th extreme Intensity of the demand for currency, hardly any resort to new. note issues was attempt ed until it" became manifest that, the power of the Treasury to aid through deposits was almost (exhausted. The outcome of he present efforts to add to the national bank currency will be watched with interest, -especially as they will showf about what, can, be done as the result of the most extreme and strenuous pressure. The most liberal estimates do not place the additions to note issues likely to come from pres ent undertakings at" more than $40, 000,000, white official estimates put it at not over one' half that sum: In oth er words, the conservatives think that perhaps four per cent of the existing circulation qf $536,000,000 can be add ed while the optimists place the fig ure at "8 per cent. This is a remark able situation, and compels attention to the fact that the country is nearly at the end of its bank note resources. The condition is also particularly worthy of study in view of the ap parent indisposition of the notes to contract whn stringent, times are over, as shown by failure to take up more than occasionally the full limit J of retirements provided by Congresi when it raised the maximum of month ly withdrawals."

The appeal of the Standard Oil Company from the fine of $29,240,000 plaoed upon it by Judge Landis in the Federal Court at Chicago, for accept ing rebates on oil shipments in viola tion of the Elkins Act, will come be fore the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago in January. Tha fight there will be a battle royal, as the Oil Trust will take advantage of every legal right and technicality to avoid paying such an enormous fine. The Standard Oil's attorneys are pre paring to make a tremendous effort and , will attack the constitutionality of the Elkins Act. It comes from Chicago that the at torneys are discussing their plans. It is said that twenty-five, main points each one of which the attorneys will argue is sufficient to have the record breaking fine declared void, will be advanced when the case comes to trial in January. In attacking the constitutionality of the Elkins Act and contending that the passage . of tbe Hepburn law made it unlawful to pros ecute for violations of the repealed Elkins measure, the Standard attor neys hope in the event of a. favora ble decision to furnish a basis for freeing the company from numerous other suits pending. It will be contended that Judge Lan dis failed to compute the number of violations correctly. Instead of each shipment constituting a violation the defense will claim that either the num ber of settlements between the com pany and the railroad or else the num ber of times the rate was granted v should be the only things considered. In the one case the number of viola tions would toe about 300, -while in the other it would be reduced to only three; Conviction was secured in 1,-462- violations.

New York World. - Careful estimate of the force of a cyclone and the energy reauired to keep a hurricane in active operation reveals the presence of a power that makes the mightiest efforts of man appear as nothing in comparison. A force equal to more than 400,000,000 horse power was estimated as devel oped in a West Indian cyclone. This greatly exceeds the power that could be developed by all the means within the range of man's capabilities. Were steam, water, wind mills and the strength of all men and animals com bined they could riot even approach be tremendous force of this mighty power. Chicago Journal. Not many years ago the farmers of North Carolina raised their cotton and. tobacco, hauled their crops to the towns and sold them for what they could get. Today, however, all is changed particularly in regard to cotton. The farmers are organized or are organizing and are demanding a fair price for their crops. The farm ers in the South have been the slowest to form any kind of union, though they for years have talked of doing so, and J it gives us pleasure to note from day to day the new warehouse holding companies being chartered. The tman who raises cotton wants a. fair price for it; he has the means at hand for securing this price, and he is deter mined to secure it. The Southern far mer, if you please, is no longer a back number he is modern and he will win. Raleigh Evening Times. Professor Edgar A. Larkin, a San Francisco astronomer, declares that marriage Tor- life is a crime and that the Anglo-Saxon race in America is doomed to extinction because "women are hlnderel in their progress." Mar riage places them in a state of bon dage, he says, in which they, canot develop. What nonsense! The only woman that does develop is the wife and mother. The average mother does not have time to bother her brains with, fads and fancies, and the consequence is that what she does learn is solid knowJedge. The wife and mother needs no one's pity. Mar riage, far from causing the extinction of the Anglo-Saxon race in America, is the only thing that will preserve it If more persons were honorably mar ried in the United States there would be less disease, less intemperance, less sin and Jess misery of all descriptions. In a sense tmarriage is bondage, but it is the bondage that all well regulated minds can bear without the golden chains galling the spirit. If men like Professor Larkin were pilloried often er to the press and pulpit we would not have so many freak's eternally: ad vancing their fool theories and de bauching the minds of the simple and ignorant.
