President Roosevelt told the Ameri-
can Forest Congress "Unless the for
ests of the United States can be made
ready to meet the vast demands which
its growth will inevitably bring, COM
mercial disaster is inevitable"
Canada has millions Of acres of for
ests. If the high tariff OF lumber
which the infamous Dingley law i'm
poses, was repealed thousands of tim
Der would be saved, which would be
better than forest culture and every
man could build a house cheaper. Not
withstanding the President says Il am
against the land skinner every time, -
he is with the big lumber trust which
is a combine, not only to skin the land,
but also to skin the people who have
to buy lumber to build houses to live
in.

Democratic Opportunity.

Mr.. Bryan las announced through the
columns of his Taper, The Commouer,
that the principal cause of democratic de-
feat this year was that the men who Sc
cured control of the party organization at
st. Louis sounded a retreat when a charge
should have been ordered all along the
line. He insists that conditions demand
radical action, and that the people want
something definite upon which they can
rely. The Commoner, he announces. will
carry on a campaign of education, advocat-
ing tariff reform, the overthrow OF private
~monopolies, labor legislation, municipal
ownership of public utilities, public own
ership of railroads and telegraph systems,
an income tax, the election of federal Judges
by the people, the election of United States
senators by popular vote, direct legislation,
and the selection of postmasters by the peo-
pie whom they are to serve,
1t will be necessary to regain control of
the party organization. To do this the
friends OF reform throughout the entire
country must work together. A democratic
paper of national scope offers the best means
for carrying on this work and The Common
er occupies this field. The campaign of
education and organization which Mr.. Bry-
a announcesswill be carried on through
The Commoner will not only be interesting
and instructive, but every democrat and
Independent thinker should receive The
Commoner regularly SO as to keep in touch
with the progress the reform forces are
making, and to fortify himself with facts
and arguments to convince his republican
neighbor that the democratic party offers
the surest relief from class legislation and
trust domination.
The low rate which Mr.. Bryan has
quoted us on his paper enables, us to send
you The COMMONER and PENN's GROVE
RECORD both one year for 81. IS. Get your
neighbors to join you in circulating demo-
cratic literature, and the election returns
in 1908 will not call for apologies or ex-
plantations. IT,

The Presidential Electors met at the
several state capitols on Monday and
voted for President and Vice President.
1t was the original intention of the
trainers of the U. S. Constitution to
have men elected as Electors who
would exercise superior wisdom and
judgment in choosing a President and
Vice President, but in 1886 and since
national party conventions-unauthor-
lied by law-have been held, candi-
dates nominated and platforms pro-
claimed. Since then the Electors
chosen by the direct votes of the people
have voted for the candidates named by
the party who elected them.
While it was known in five hours af-
ter the polls closed on November 9Th,
who would be elected the next Presi-
dent, the full official vote was not re-
corded until two weeks ago.
Roosevelt carried 80 states and has
1856 electoral votes, Parker carried 10
states and has 140 votes. Roosevelt's
majority is 1876. Roosevelt carried 4
more states than Mckinley and Parker
4less than Bryan in 1900. McKinley's
electoral majority was 1877.
On the popular vote Mr.. Roosevelt
received 1927, 632, Parker $3.50, o54.
Roosevelt received 2,547, 574 more than
Parker, while Mckinley had $50, 984
more than Bryan in 1900. The net
gain of 429, 799 in the Republican vote
over 1900, is hardly the normal increase
of population, while the decrease of
1861 500 in the Democratic vote shows
there was a big stay-at-home vote be-
cause of dissatisfaction with Mr.. Park
or as a candidate.
The Prohibition vote was 260, 303. a
gain of 81, 512. The Socialist vote was
391, 587, a gain of 303, 81S. The Popu-
list vote was ia, 1887, a gain of 64,419
Parker even polled less votes than
Bryan in New Jersey, Connecticut.
Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Illinois.
Pennsylvania, where the Democratic
leaders are gold plated.
When delegates were elected last
spring many declared Organism dead
and a Cleveland man was needed to
bring the gold standard corporation
men back into the party so there would
be money to run the campaign on. For
every vote gained by that policy ten
were lost.
MI. Parker proved to be the weakest
candidate since the nomination of Hor-
ace Greeley in 1872.
Those who were disloyal in 1896 had
their trial and should be convinced that
Clevelandism is an incubus on the par
ty; that the Democratic party is the
poor mans party, and that a new deal
must be made by making the Demo-
cratic party democratic.

President Roosevelt knows how to
please both sides on the Mormon ques.
ton. He has appointed R. M. Taylor,
the foremost worker in the cases against
the Mormons, Roberts and Smoot, to
be a district Judge in Ohio. At the
same time six polygamist Mormons are
retained as postmasters in the West.

w. P. Barksdale an Elector-at-Large
in Virginia, when he cast his vote on
Monday declared if he were free he
would not vote for Parker. He said
ssIf it was a safe Democracy, then it
was insane. Eighty thousand people
went to the polls and voted in Virginia
while 120, 900 resented the insult and
management of the campaign by the
men who four years ago turned their
faces on Bryan"

The Nebraska-Missouri boundary
line question is still the companion of
the query as to who struck Billy Pat
terson. The United States Supreme
Court decided the other day that it is
not where the Missouri is but where it
used to be, not taking into considera-
ton that the only thing more difficult
than to know where it used to be, is to
find out where it is going to be.

Freakish Heroines of friction.

"'Eyes like starsr" shifted the cap
tious critic contemptuously as he threw
down the novel he was reading. "Fan-
cy a girl with eyes that really looked
like stars-little specks of light! Why,
nobody's eyes look like stars unless it
may be a cats eyes in the dark. And
lips like cherriesI Absurd! Just i'm
agine a girl with lips like two little
round red balls! Why, it would be a
positive deformity.
"Even Byron says Of n Of his
heroines that she had a brow like a
midsummer lake. Midsummer frog
pond! Could you really fall in love
with a girl whose forehead actually
looked like a lake? No, Of course, you
couldn't, nor anybody else. Midsum-
me- lake only makes it worse. 1t gives
an idea that the girl was perspiring
freely. Then here is another passage"
continued he, picking up his discarded
book and reading:
"'Her slender foot was scarce larger
than the blue bells it crushed down.
"Now, isn't that ridiculous? The
girl would have toppled over, been alb
solutely unable to walk, with such
feet. 1 tell you if half the heroines Of
romance are anything like what they
are pictured they belong in dime mu-
scum and not in the pages Of a book"

POWER TO SETTLE STRIKE
HOPE FOR END OF LABOR STRUG-
 GLE IN CHICAGO.

Teamsters' Joint Council Finally Ap-
 points Committee With Full Au-
 thority to Make settlement-Truclx N Drivers Decline to Arbitrate Despite
 an Agreement With Their Employers
 10 Do So.
 Chicago, June 6.-The teamsters' joint council tonight appointed a committee with full power to settle the strike and tomorrow conference will be arrang- ed with the employers,
 The appointment of the committee followed the announcement of Attorney Mayer, who. speaking for the employ CTS association, said two days ago that no more conferences would be held with the men unless the committee came to the meeting with full power to act, and this power must be explicitly stated in writing. The teansters promised to appoint the committee last night, but instead of doing so, sent a committee to arrange individual settlements with q number of the large dry goods houses. This attempt failed complete ly, the employees having announced that no separate settlements would be made and that if the strike was declared off it must be declared off in every direc- tion. Failing in the effort to effect a settlement with the stores to-day the teamsters joint council tonight ap- pointed the committee which it had agreed to appoint twenty-four hours earlier. It is composed of one repre- sentative of each union involved in the strike, and is headed by ". J. Gibbons president of the teamsters' joint coun- | cil.
 At a mass meeting of the truck driv- CTS called to consider the question of arbitrating the demand of the Team Owners association for deliveries to the boycotted houses, it was decided to decline the arbitration, notwithstand- ing the fact that the agreement be- tween the teamsters and the Team Owners association contains a provi- sion calling for arbitration in exactly f such cases as the one under considera- tion. The action of he ruck drivers however, loses much of it's importance compared with the appointment of a committee empowered by the men tc settle the strike. No action will be taken by the team owners pending the meeting of the committee appointed to. night with the employers. President Shea of the teamsters was not pres ent at the meeting of the joint council
 tonight when the committee was ap- pointed.

INSTRUCTIONS REITERATED,
United States Firm in Attitude Toward
 Russian Ships at Manila.

---~N-
 Washington, June 6.-The following announcement was made at the war department late this afternoon:
 '"The secretary of war is in receip& of cablegram from Governor Wrigf2 arl- nouncine that Secretary Taft's instruc- tions of yesterday had been formally transmitted to the Russian admiral (EnquisD and at, the same time inquiry was made whether he would be re- auired to put to sea within twenty-four hours after taking on coal and provi- sions sufficient to take him to the near est port. That up to this time only enough coal and sufficient food sup plies for use in harbor to last from day to day had been given, as they arrived in Manila with practically no coal or provisions. Governor Wright submit ted the question as to whether they were entitled to take on coal and pro- visions to carry them to the nearest port. Governor Wright was advised that the president directed that the twenty-four hour limit must be strictly enforced; hat no necessary supplies ard coal must be taken on within that time, these instructions being consistent with those of June g. stating that as the Rus- sian admiral's ships were suffering from damages due to battle that the American policy was to restrict all op- erations of belligerents at neutral ports. In other words, that time should not be given for repairs of damage suffered in battle." St. Petersburg, June 6.-Russia has practically agreed to the internment of the Russian warships at Manilla.

MUM,s THE WORD.
Diplomats to Keep silent While Eff
 forts for Peace are Being Made.

forts for Peace are Being Made.
 Washington, June 6.-Pending the de- cision of the czar regarding war or peace in the Far East, the president and the European ambassadors with whom he is daily conferring, have agreed that silence regarding their ac- tivity is necessary, and word to this effect has been passe along lest Rus- sia takes offence and go contrary to what the neutral powers believe to be for her own advantage.
 Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa- dor, remains without advice from St. Petersburg that throws any light on the probable policy of the czar. The ambassador has not yet received any acknowledgm of his long cablegram of last week, regarding his conference with the president. The cablegram was sent, not for the purpose of transmit tins any message to the czar, but act ing on his own initiative, the ambas- sador made a faithful rpeort of what was described at the time as an "in- formal and general conversation" No formal tender of mediation was made nor was any reported. The ambassa- dor, however, felt that his government should be in possession of the views ex- pressed by the president to him, in fa- Vor of peace, and therefore incorporated them in his eablegram. It is expected that later on the Russian embassy here will be informed whether the re- suit of the battle in the Sea of Japan has affected the determination of the St. Petersburg government to continue the war. Any information on this sub- ject will be promptly placed before the president.

GEAR CONSIDERING
 QUESTION OF PEACE
ADVTSABILITY OF CONFIDING OPENING NEGOTIATIONS TO
 ROOSEVELT.

Matter Presented to Him in Favorable
 Light by Foreign Minister-Grand
 Duke Alexander NIihaeIOyitch and
 Admiral AIezfeff Who Have Always
 Been for War Now CounseIIing Con-
 cIusion of Peace-Backbone of War
 Party Now Considered Broken.
 St.. Petersurg, June 7.-2:35 a. m.- Beyond the statement that the advis- ability of confiding the opening of peace negotiations to President Roosevelt in the event that Emperor Nicholas shall have decided that the time has arrived to indicate to Japan Russia's desire to end the struggle. was presented in a favorable light, no definite announce ment can be made at this hour regard ing the result of Foreign Minister Lamsdorff's audience with the emper- or on the subject of Count Cassini's dis patch communicating the presidents practical tender of good offices. In can, however, be stated, in addition that Grand Duke Alexander Michaelivitch, the emperor's brother-in-law, who un- doubtedly exercises a greater personal inbuence with his majesty than any other member of the imperial family and who, until the disaster to the Rus sian fleet, was the most uncompronais- ing advocate of war to the last ditch, has joined Grand Duke Vladimir, uncle of the emperor, in counselling the con- clusion of peace. .... ..
 Grand Duke Vladimir in a recent family counsil, while urging the futil- ity of continuing the struggle, stoutly maintained that the loss of Manchuria and even a portion of eastern Siberia would not mean the ruin of Russia S prestige, but that she could continue to grow in influence and power, just as Great Britain did after the loss of her American colonies
 Another important convert made by the advocates of peace is Admiral Alex jeff. With Grand Duke Alexander Michaelovitch, Grand Duke Vladimir and Admiral Alexieff on the side of peace, the back bone of what has been denominated the war party seems to have been broken Nevertheless, the final word rests with the emperor him self.
