THE BREACH WIDENS.

One of the most active workers
in the recent Democratic State
Convention of this State vas q
delegate from White Pine county
Yet when it came to the appoint
mcnt of members from this
county to the State Central Com
mittee, he was snubbed by the
one who had the appointing
power. This act but widens the
breach in that party in White
Pine county, and strenuous
measures will have to be resorteG
to in order to close the horrible
gap that now yawns before them.
Unless something is done, ano
done quick, the party will &C
down to defeat in this county
with a suddenness that will
dumbfound those who think they
a sure thing, and defeat at the
present time means years Of toll
before they can ever h5pe for
political prestige again. A dozen
votes may not be much, but less
than that number have turned
victory into defeat, and under
no circumstances should there be
anything but accord in theii
ranks. But the gentleman who
did the active work laid aside all
selfish motives. and earned the
good will and praise of those
who constitute the power behind
the throne. He accomplished all
that he set out to do, and had
the pleasure OF handing a sting
ing rebuke to one Of the oppon,
ents Of the eight.law. Those
who consider themselves the
power in the Democratic party
of White Pine county had better
come to their senses and pour
oil on the troubled waters that
surge about them. There are
some good Democrats who aspire
to serve the county in an official
capacity, and it is wrong to
sacrifice them in order To CRAFTY
the greed for power in others.
Selfshness is poor political back
ing, and good men are often
dragged down into the mire OF
defeat in order that one or two
others may think they are the
whole show. Patch up the split
that has disrupted the Democrats
in this section. Let it be a bat
tie royal between the two politi.
cal parties-and let the devil
take the hindmost.

Listening to that beautiful song,

sung in the chapel a few Sundays
ago by that sweet tenor voice with
a world of pathos in it's strains,
brought to my mind picture of
the dear old home and the loving
inmates, whose hearts are aching
for the presence of the one who
"fell by the wayside." It also
brought to my memory the article
appearing in a recent issue of The
MIRROR entitled, Writing Home
In conversation with a fellow
inmate short time after it's pub
LEGATION, I asked him what he
thought of the article. His reply
was, that altho it contained some
truth, it also contained too much
sentiment, and that the author was
unwise in publishing the fact in
an institution of this kind. Know
ing the motive of the writer, 1 did
agree with him in thinking it un-
wise. 1t was not written with the
intention of publishing the fact
that the writer had large amount
of sentiment in his nature, but to
stir up the latent love of home and
dear ones which I firmly believe
the larger per cent of the inmates
of this, or any other prison possess.

"Laugh and Grow Fat"

Life is such serious business
with the average mortal that an
opportunity for hearty laugh is
more than welcome to most peo-
pie. "A merry heart doeth good
like a medicine" and so do the
humorous features of that great
metropolitan daily, the Chicago
Record-Herald. The first thing
that greets you on the first page Of
every issue is the humorous car
toon by Ralph Wilder, the we'll
known artist, that frequently tells
more at a glance than could be
conceived in a column of reading
matter. Every Issue contains also
a humorous small story on the ed
itorial page, and the ALTERNATING
Currents" column, written by ;.
E. .Kiser, one of the most popular
humorous writer's in the country.
In addition to all these, the Sun
day issue always includes a comic
section, guaranteed to produce
laughter.-Adv.

to knock it off, but the little chap
has kept the big Teller backin' up
an backin' up, and by late re-
ports the overgrown buffer has
backed so much an so fur that he
can hardly back any further. No,
he can't.
The Japs are small but they are
bilt of the stuff that was made for
fghtin' purposes an they won't
take bluff from any of the over
grown land squatters. don't
blame them a little bit. No, 1
don't. Rushia has never treated
the little Teller half way right, an
now they are gettin' their jest des-
serts tied up in large packages, an
I don't no but what the little Jap
will be able to give them as many
packages as they will need to open
their eyes and take the bluff out

You no I believe in hollerin' for
the smallest man in the scrap, an
little hollerin' will always help
the little Teller to make the big

I tell rite here that Rushia is in
a pretty bad pickle now. She is
ice bound in winter an iron bound
in summer, an the only way she
can keep what few tubs she has
left from gettin' their bottoms
craked is to send them over to your
Uncle Sam. Now uncle is a pref

bet my wages ten years hence that
them tubs will be bound pretty
tight when uncle keeps his eyes on
them. Yes, they will.
I think after the big chap has
been licked till the bluff leaves him
he will be able to treat his own
people as human beings at least,
an give them a chance to live as
people in free country ought to
live. This maxim people pay a
few rich nobs premium on the

ing the opportunity to answer if
we will only write. A large num-
Der of us have, somewhere in this
world of sorrow and happiness,
mothers who are buoyed up by the
hope of sometime hearing from
their wandering boys. For there
is no mother-who is worthy of
J that, the grandest and most noble
title that can be bestowed upon a
woman, but has watched over her
child from the moment it was
placed in her arms, a feeble human
atom. And when we are busy
with our affairs of business or
pleasure, how she longs to encour-
age US in our good deeds, to CON-
fort and forgive us for our wrong
doings, if not through the power
of her loving voice and tender
touch and caress, then by a letter
full of love and encouragement.
When in our hour of disgrace all
others forsake us, mother will
stand ever ready and willing to
assist us to again become men of
worth and character and an honor
to the one who bore us.
1 heard man say not long ago
that he had received a letter from
his mother, and in answering it
had told her not to write anymore,
as he was too busy to answer her
letters. If he could only see into
that mothers heart and have
knowledge of the pain such let
ter must have caused, I think he
would find time during the long
hours he spends in his cell on Sun
day to write even a few lines, to
let her know he had not forgotten
the best of friends.
[ sincerely hope no one will
think for moment this article is
written for effect or to propagate
the idea that the writer has large
amount of sentiment; but that it
will be the means of inducing the
readers to give their dear ones the
opportunity of answering, by
writing to them whenever the
privilege is granted. 1137.

Just a Bit Of Nature.

It was Sunday; all was still in
the village save for an occasional
strain of hymn that assailed our
ears from the little white church
down the street. Out from the
town we strolled, Bonniebelle and
I. Out thru the leafy lane leading
down to the peaceful lake, where
glinted the sunlit waters, smiling
reflection to one of Natures mar
velous creations. Beside the path
blossomed the sky-tinted northern
roses, full blown, emitting their
perfume, to be waited tenderly to
our nostrils on the gentle zephyr's
breath, which rustled the foliage
and caused the trees to whisper
their secrets one to the other.
Among their leafy bowers the
little birds trilled in happiness;
sang as if their very lives depend
ed upon it. All Nature seemed
glad. Even the flowers raised
their faces in blissful expectancy.
Just before us red breasted robin
burst into trebling song, singing
with might and main serenade
to his listening mate who sat on a
branch but a few feet away. We
stopped to listen and not to disturb.
How full and melodious the notes
rolled from his little throat. Soon
he ceased his song, gave few dis
connected trebles, then off he few
followed by his lady love. Per-
haps he thought his singing too
sacred for foreign ears. We looked
at each other, and in our eyes each
read the others thoughts. We un-
derstood.
As we wended our homeward
way the congregation was just
leaving the church. Bonniebelle
turned to me with happy thrill
in her voice, saying: ooh, George,
I am so glad we did not attend
church. We never could have en-
joyed the minister's sermon with
the same pleasurable emotion
with which we received the en-
chanting little lesson in the midst of
charming Nature. [ feel more than
ever that church religion is i'm
prisoned in prayer books and
church walls; God religion is every
where that Nature designs; in each
quiet woodland nook or bit of sun
ny field" And I echoed 'Amen.'

OUR DEBT TO THE TREE
00000000o000000o NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


the front of yonder piano,
and you grasp my meaning,
and the enormous debt-ou
debt to the tree.
Within century-yes, l may
say the half century, for during
the recent fifty years nearly the
whole of this grand debt has been
incurred-the cutting down of
trees in our own country, has de-
nuded great areas of land, render
ing almost valueless countless
thousands of acres. Out of this
seemingly wanton destruction, how
eyer, has been developed great
industry, one of the greatest in
the United States. The lumber
cut of this country for the year
1903 was above one million trees
of one foot and over in diameter.
That we may more readily compre-
bend it's immensely this timber if
piled in sawed boards would make
q pile one mile square and 500 feet
high. Our forests are disappear
ing, it is said, under the wood
mans ak at the rate of As acres
per day.
In olden times trees were ''felled
in the old-fashioned manner, and
''whipsawed'' or split with broad
AK, and thus fashioned into planks;
but today furnishes methods much
more rapid in execution "deple-
ting in day. our magnificent for
ests. Appalling, indeed, is this
destruction. Yankee ingenuity is
taxed to it's utmost to devise rapid
lsbor-saving machinery, to enable
the timber boss to supply the al
most limitless demand for lumber.
Today the lumber industry of
our country stands fourth in value
among our manufacturing indus
tries, $1,7OO,OOO,OOO being the
enormous capital employed in the
various numbering industries of
our land. In 1908 above $12O, OOO,-
600 was paid in wages. Forty bill
lion feet of lumber was produced,
valued at above $6OO,OOO,OOO.
Wisconsin furnished the largest
part of this enormous quantity,
Michigan comes second, Washing
ton third, Minnesota fourth, Penn
sylyania fifth. The Southern
states today furnish about one half
of the yellow pine cut; white pine
being the sort supplied by the
Northern states, to which [ have
referred.
Census returns for 1900 reveal
a condition of things along this
line which can but startle careful
thinking man. Estimates based
on the returns indicate that in the
New England states, there is bare
ly timber enough to supply mills
in that section for six years, at
present rate of output. Pennsyl-
vania, New jersey, New York and
Delaware have standing timber for
only FIVE years; the Southern At
lantic states for fifteen years; the
Middle South, West Virginia,
kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri
for twenty years; Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa for three years; Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and Michigan,
eight years. There is not much
standing timber in the Western
states east of the Rocky Mountains.
Oregon, Washington and Califor-
MA contain one-third of the tim
ber yet standing in the United
States, and tho now furnishing
only 10 per cent of the whole, could
alone supply our entire demand
for probably twenty-five years.
A liberal estimate places the
Standing timber in the United
States at 2,156 billion feet, and we
are cutting this reserve at an aver

years.
[ believe it unwise to take these
estimates as seriously, however, as
they appear; for no doubt greater
economy on the part of both pre-
Queer and consumer will make
possible a distribution of our pres
ent reserve through much great
or number of years; and presum-
ably the great forests of Canada,
which we have not considered in
our estimates, will furnish a large
part of our nearby future consump-
ton. In this brief writing l have
sought primarily to set forth "our
debt to the tree" to point out the
enormous amount of timber con-
sumed.
Up to date we have really been
wasteful. Our forests from year
to year have been giving up an
average of $500 feet of their valu-
able product to every man, woman
and child IN the land; while the
people of other civilized lands have
been content with so much less as
to make our own consumption seem
indeed prodigal. Germany's peo-
pie use only sixty feet per capita,
England $50 feet-amounts so triv-
al in comparison to our $500 feet
as to seem almost untrue.
In keeping with American ideas
of business, this debt to the tree
must be paid. Let US husband
what remains of Natures gift, and
by carefully administered super
vision over the several wooded
areas, increase the production.
This can be done; the production
can be made to equal, and in time
to exceed consumption. Action
should be prompt. Lumber firms
must be checked, and made to
realize the situation, and under
Legislative pressure compelled to
discontinue all indiscriminate and
careless numbering.
There are four destructive agen-
cies to be overcome:
Forest fires;
Ignorant numbering;
Disease;
Wanton waste.
Under the first head, let me state
that last year in New York 465, 1000
were burned. A fire reported last
week as still raging in New Bruins
wick had destroyed lumber worth
ST., 100000, and fire was raging
in the state of Washington, which
had already consumed standing
timber to the amount of $2O,OOO,-
900. In Washington, where only
IL per cent Of the timber has been
cut, fully II per cent has been
destroyed by fire. l am unable to
give losses sustained elsewhere,
but in all numbering states thous-
ands upon thousands of acres have
been thus destroyed. This fire
loss, great as it is, is probably
equalled by extravagant methods
of numbering, which [ have de-
nominated Ignorant numbering"
Tho l have never visited great
lumber camp, [ am told that
each and every acre is denuded,
no effort being made to cut only
the mature tree; all trees, young
and old, are cut and "cut clean as
the woodman puts it. The young:
rapidly growing tree should have
been reserved for future use.
The third agency of destruction,
disease, is a most difficult problem
to solve. 1t is estimated that be-
tween ten and twelve million feet
of lumber is lost by disease among
trees in the United States alone
every year. Efficient and capable
men are planning to combat this
formidable agency and hope to
succeed.
