No Candidate For Governor Has a
 Nai0rffy

Majority.
 Concord, N. H.. Nov. 7.--With seven teen towns still out. the returns from yesterdays State election indicate quite conclusiveIy that the contest for the Governorship will have to be settled in the Legislature, the Republican can- didate, Charles W. Floyd, having failed to secure a majority over the other two candidates.
 "The returns from 2T5 of the 2os wards and towns of the State give Floyd (Republiean), ss.s4e for Gov ernor; Jameson (Democrat). 37,130; Tetley (Prohibition), 2.129; scattering, STA.
 The same towns and wards in 1902 gave Bachelder (Republican), 41,S42: Hollis (Democrat), 3S.2O4; Berry, (Pro- hibitlonist), 1.56S; scattering, 1,600.
 This is Republican loss from fopr years ago of 5,f64. With the same ra , tio of loss in the missing towns, Floyd, the Republican candidate, will fall short of a majority by at least 100 votes The missing towns are very small and arc located in the remote mountainous region of the state.

Iey's staff, death resulting from ex-
posture on an inauguration day.
Judge Longworth was a man not only
beloved, but brilliant. His courtship
of his wife, mother of the present Con-
gresham, began when both were but
six years old. She was then little Sue
Walker. Some years before the Judge
died, he built a small steamboat for
3lea~ure trips on the Ohio river He
called it the GO. It was an odd
name, and people wondered what it
meant. Some said it STOOD for Cincin-
natl, Ohio, others said it meant Come
off" but the judge would not make pub
lie the origin Of such an odd christen-
ing. Years later, he told this story:
AS boy, he had fallen in love with
Sue Walker, and conided his affection
to his mother, who wished to encour-
age him in writing, and advised him
to express his love in letter. He
did so but did not know how to spell
Sue. He ponde~ed a while, then rea-
soned that if d-o-speHed 3D." CO

he addressed his first love letter, and

The Importance of the Appalachian
forest cover to the cotton milling in
dustry alone, in the Piedmont regions
OF North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia is shown by the statistics of
the mills operated by the water power
derived from the streams having their
sources in these mountains. In these
three states there are 1913 mills so
operated, with a combined capital stock
Of $33,000,000, with 2,770,00 spindles
and 50,926 looms and giving work to
over $4,000 employees. The total an
nual production of these mills is ap-
proximately $64,000,O00.
Virginia has interests also, which
are not included in the above figures,
as have also Tennessee and Kentucky,
on the western side Of the mountains.
A National forest reserve in the
White Mountains Of New Hampshire is
also matter of general concern and
vital to the well being Of the industries
OF all New England. We are upon the
threshold Of great Industrial COMPETE
ton with the producing powers of the
world; to maintain our supremacy we
must retain our hold upon our cheap
water power, which, through electrical
invention is being utilized as never be-
fore and greatly aiding to our national
prosperity.
The creation of the Appalachian and
White Mountain Forest Reserves can
not be left to the states; the question
is an interstate and therefore a ma
tional one. Nearly all the rivers of
New England head in the White Noun
tains Of New Hampshire and it is of
supreme importance to the industries
of ali the New England States, repre-.
senting tens Of millions of dollars, that
the forest cover at the river sources
shall be preserved and improved
National delay in the acquisition of
| these reserves would be dangerous
and wasteful. Timber land which a
few years ago could have been pur.

son, the present congressman. The
mother still keeps and prizes her first
declaration of love.
Judge Longworth was once travel
ing in Italy. He was in a forward car
With friend; and when his wife sent
word for him to come back to her, the
judge remarked, Eve had best take all
our things as the dago marquis here
might sWipe them" This remark was
made concerning a swarthy looking
man in the opposite seat. The judge
was only joking, thinking too, that the
stranger did not understand English.
When the train stopped, the Marquis
handed the judge a card. He was
a sure enough marquis and he knew
English. The card meant duel, but
Longworth was equal to the occasion,
for he responded, ''Why hello Marquis,
glad to meet you.'' The offended noble,
man had to laugh and the two be,
came good frineds.
At another time the Judge eonceiv-
ed the plan Of living a few days with
the bandits in Thessaly. With sever
al friends an expedition was organ
lied and the party went into the noun
tains OF upper Greece. They found a
famous robber chief and told him they
wanted to have a social visit with him
and his men. A bag Of gold was giv-

played games, but the robbers com.
mitted no crimes during the visit.
When the stay was over the chief
escorted them to the frontier and saw
them in safe hands. There was a
price on his head and beyond a GER
tain line he dared not go The judge
often remarked that he never enjoyed
trip more.

A large oportion Of these lands have
been in the heavily timbered belt of the
far Northwest and is Of the class of
timber described by the Secretary of
the Interior in his report for the fiscal
year ended, June so, 1903, in which he
says:
"The Timber and Stone Act will. if
not repealed or radically amended, re-
suit ultimately in the complete destruc-
ton Of the timber on the unappropriat-
ed and unreserved public lands The ra-
pidity with which the public timbered
lands are being denuded of their timber

Timber and Stone Act for the fraudu-
lent acquisition of title to public tim
bered lands at the uniform price Of
$3.50 per acre when they are in many
instances worth forty times that ($100)

pages of my annual reports and those

Hundred Million Dollar Waste.
But estimating the values only Of the
4,7O9, $50 acres OF timber land disposed
OF in the last five years, and at only
$50 per acre, the government has. in
that time, parted with the title Of land
worth $l17,746,5 500. The price received
Tor this land has been at the uniform
rate OF $3.50 per acre, or 81, TIA, $50,
a loss to the government Of over $780,
100000. Your committee endorses the
recommendation of the President and
his Public Lands Commission for the re-
peal Of this Timber and Stone Act and
the substitution of a rational forest
policy, by which the title to the public
timber lands shall remain forever in
the government, the stumpage only to
be disposed of, at it's market value.
Under such a plan as this, and under
an agreement whereby one half the
proceeds could be devoted to the For
estry Service and the other half to
the Irrigation Fund, two policies of
great internal improvement and i'm
portance could be generously main
tanned, while at the same time the
forestry question would be to a great
extent solved, public forest lands being
numbered in such a manner as to pre-
serve the young growth and leave the
forest as a perpetual source of income
to the nation and at the same time
conserve the water supply.

they are allowing laws to remain in
