MENTIONED

Chairman Fry Of the Republican Coun-
ty Committee did not name the members
Of the Executive Committee at last
nights meeting. This was a disappoint-
ment to the Republicans Of the First and
Eleventh Wards, who are not III accord
with the men named for places on the
committee BY the respective ward asso-
Citations. In the First Ward the follow
ers of John Powers, a Pagan Republi-
can, expect to defeat the appointment Of
Thomas Burke, and III the Eleventh
Ward the Administration forces are bent
on preventing John f. McArthur from
serving on the committee. These two
men have been selected By the ward as
scciations of their respective wards.
Whatever chance Burke may have in se-
curing Chairman Frys approval, Near
thur, it is said, mas none. Chairman Fry,
as much as he may dislike to do so, will
he obliged, u order to appease the.
Mayor, VINO is determined that Near
thur shall not sit in the committee. to
disregard the action of the Eleventh
Ward Committee. An attempt was made
10 have the Eleventh Ward Association
reconsider its recommendation Of Near
thur for Executive Committeeman, but it
failed. Now it is up TO Chairman Fry.
His failure to make the appointments
last night gives Macarthur another
month TO strengthen his position. All the
Republicans in the Eleventh Ward are
awaiting with anxiety the outcome Of the
Mayors fight against the man whom
they want for their leader.

mia and Bel grade road. He says
one good road is Of greater benefit
to the people of the community
than half a dozen roads poorly
kept. This is consistent with what
the Journal has advocated in the
past and will advocate in the fu-
ture-viz: that too many public
roads are being maintained out of
the little revenue the county pro
vides for their support. With the
main public highways made good
at public expense, those interested
in keeping open connecting roads
could well afford to keep them
open at their own expense. AT
nearly ever term of county court
several petitions are presented for
the opening of more new coun-
ty roads. A few of these roads
may be of general utility, but the
majority of them doubtless only
find basis for their being upon
the demands of individual inter
ests, and each addition to the pub
tic road system makes another di-
vision of the road revenue. In
stead of concentrating their money
and effort in road improvement
our people are continually dissi-
pating both, and the result Of such
policy is apparent to anyone who
has occasion to travel over the
public roads of the county. Bear
in mind the fact that a system of
good roads will never be inaugu-
rated here as long as every citizen
insists that the road shall first be
made good to his own doorway, at
public expense.

Need of Eoresters.

The new profession OF forestry is to-
day chiefly conspicuous for the slim
aess Of its ranks and The wide stretches
Of opportunity it affords. Experts are
painfully scarce in comparison with
the demand for their services. The
need may be compared with that which
came with the sudden development of
electric lighting. power and transpor-
tation. Every community wanted to
utilize these, but the men who knew
how to make them available could only
here and there be had, With almost
equal uddenness-though after long
years af slow and painful educational
processes-the nation, the states, great
industrial interests dependent on a con-
tinuous supply of lumber and individ-
ual owners of forest tracts have sprung
to an appreciation of forestry as neces.
sary not merely to the continued
growth but TO the maintenance Of the
position and wealth already won.-St.

MSS Alice and Her Gifts.

The present discussion as to
whether or not Alice Roosevelt
should be required to pay tart #
duty on the gifts she received in
the Orient must excite the pity CT
those monarchs whose salaries are
not so beggarly as that paid onr
chief executive. To them the few
thousand dollars of tariff duty is a
paItry bagatelle, but to our own
President it is a seriously large
sum and would cut a great hole in
the presidential salary. Why not
raise the Presidents salary, any
ways He does not receive so much
as many heads of corporations re-
ceivc.
The incident also calls to mind
the fact that even in our democrat
ic country, the chief executive and
his family are not allowed to re-
tain their own personality when
visiting other countries, but must
act as tliplomatlc representatives.
No doubt Miss Alice received
many gifts which she did not want
and which have been a source of
expense and annoyance, but to re-
fuse them would have been a di-
rect discourtesy to the nation she
was visiting. 1t isn't such fun to
be a Presidents daughter, after
all.-CuIumbia Herald.

A well-known lawyer who has
had considerable experience rs the
public prosecutor of criminals, as
serts that it is an impossibility to
send a man who has one hundred
thousand dollars to the peniten-
tiary, no matter how guilty he was
proven. While there may be rare
exceptions to this rule, this lawyer
is in the main correct as to the i'm
munity from punishment wealth
gives the criminal who has it. 1t
is not pleasant to contemplate such
a condition, for it encourages the
spirit of anarchy among the
wealthy, and lays the masses open
to the charge that money has
greater force in their tribunals
than Justice based upon honesty
and morality. Money, then, is
power not only over law, but over
fhe moral conscience of the people.

Some Points Tor Timber Owners.

Among the most valuable natnr-
al possessions in Missouri and
Arkansas arc the forests. The
owners of timber in the two states
do not seem to be fully informed
of its real worth. In its issue of
of October ! last The New York
Lumber journal quotes the whole
sale prices, at that date, for oak
and pine lumber 10 New York city
as follows: Best grades Of plain
oak lumber; $50 to $53 per 1000
feet; quarter sawed white oak, $50
to Ss5 per 1000 feet; best grades
of yellow pine, S32 to S34 per
1000 feet. There is a decided Diff
ference in the value of oak and
Line, yet timber owners are often
kept ignorant of the fact. From
the New York quotations it is clear
that standing oak within twenty
miles of Il railroad is worth at
least $40 an acre to the owner, an nd
much more if the railroad Is clos
er. Oak timber tracts in the two
states will average per acre from
1000 to 5000 feet of mere hantablc
material.
There is no better white oak
than the fine grained variety found
in the Oznrks. The same quality
in Indiana sells, standing, for from
S25 to $50 an acre. Yet 1900 acres
of valuable oak lands in Arkansas
recently sold for SIS an acre, and
the figure is said to he an advance,
For that price the purchasers will
own the land after they clear off
the oak, which, ut the wholesale
rate, is worth in New York at
least 800 an acre. The freight
by rail from Cairo to New York
is 2S cents per 100 pounds. In
many cases western timber owners
are not acquainted with the real
quotations for oak and pine, and
sacrifice their pine at absurd|y low
figures. They should carefully y
study the lxice of timber the coun-
try over before parting with their
forest treasure, the valne of whicl!
Is constantly increasing.
Timber owners, and timber buy
ers should fxmiliarizc themselves
with the legal provisions against
thieves and trespassers. BY de-
cision of the United States Su.
preme Court an innocent buyer is
liable to the land owner for the
value Ct the timber, in its manu-,
factured state, at the time and
place where it was delivered to the
innocent buyer. Missouri's su-
preme court has held that "Public
policy as we'll as private rights,
demands that the settled rule that
no title can pass through a thief.

who buy of him should be compel

sVoman's Rights In Missouri.

Surely woman is triumphant in
Missouri when a Supreme Court
decision makes the law read that Il
woman is not required to obtain
the signature of her husband when
she disposes of her real estate.
The writer's of the laws concern
ing husband and wife have doubt
less been astonished at this decis-
ion. 1t is not the law that is nc
ceptef, bnt a Supreme Courts in
terpretation of the law. AS Su
preme Courts sometimes reverse
their decisions, the husband may
still have hope. Now, he cannot
dispose of his own property with
ont his wife's signature. yet he
cannot lift finger when he sees
her property going.
The "tyrant man" is shackIei,
