1t is noted that spruce lumber is not
like any other commodity. When
there is a scarcity of iron the crews
can be increased and more hours
worked, resulting in a short time in an
enlarged output. When wheat is
scarce il takes but a year to add 70 the
acreage and thus increase the supply.
But it takes from 10 to $50 years to
grow a spruce tree of commercial
value for saw logs. Take lumber 25
feet in length and 3x12 which is being
sawed by the Augusta Lumber Com
pany for the New York market, it re-
quires 4 century and a half to produce
the trees from which it is manufac-
tured. 1t is singular fact, says Mr..
Randall, that the spruce from which
the lumber of commerce is manu-
featured, does not seem to flourish at
elevations under 500 feet or over 1900.
Under it seems to be a different tree
and above becomes stunted. A large
portion of this northern Maine country
has the necessary elevation and the
spruce tree grows to perfection.

votes of women as men should be an an
tidote to the notion that women are COM

states grant this privilege of equal suff-

Public sentiment which is now bar
ring the doors Of congress against reg
alarly elected representative of soy
erign state differs in kind, not in degree,
from that which sustains lynch law in
the south for crimes against women.
The positive qualifications which the
constitution prescribes for membership
in the house of representatives relates
to age, citizenship and residence only.
Roberts meets all these requirements
and cannot under the constitution be
legally barrrd from his seat. In the
present inst snce, it is a case where pub
lie sentiment overridss all law, all pre-
cedents, aud the very constitution OF the
republic itself. The proper way would
be to let the Utah Mormon take his seat
--and then expel him from the House.
And while this would be establishing a
precedent, it is a pretty good time to es-
tsblish one of this particular kind. AS
against this proposition, however, comes
the necessary two-thirds vote-impos-
sible to secure, perhaps, because Of par
tisan politics, in which sentiment, right
or wrong, has no part.
