A PRECEDENT SMASHHR

President Roosevelts fondness for
breaking precedents reached the climax
in his recent voyage to ths isthmus Of
Panama. He not only ignored the time
honored presidential custom of keeping
within the boundaries of the United
States, but he Travelled thousands Of
miles beyond, including a visit to an
other republic.
There is no substantial reason why
an American president might not go
beyond the line of his own country.
The heads of European governments,
kings and emperors, go outside Of their
respective realms without exciting
much comment. Edward of Great
Britain and William of Germany, par
ticularly are quite frequent visitors
abroad, The cheftain of the great re-
public surely should not be subjected
to restraint in personal freedom that
is not imposed upon the monarchs Of
Europe.
And yet the recent journey of Presi-
dent Roosevelt is suggestive of the lat
ter day tendency to discard customs and
precedents of the early days of the
republic which formerly were regarded
as almost sacred. Even at so late a
period as the time of President Nc
Kinley's visit to the Pacific coast the
precedent in question was observed
At Ell Paso President Mckinley went
to the middle of the bridge over the
Rio Grande, the dividing line between
the United States and Mexico, but he
would go no farther.
But President Roosevelts last act in
precedent breaking is a trivial matter
compared with the smashing of other
precedents established by the fathers
of the republic. There is but little left
of the simplicity that distinguished
federal administrations down to the
period of the Civil War. The war in
troduced a new political and social era
in which the spoils of office became the
foremost consideration politically and
the spoils of wealth the primary aim
socially Carpet-bag government in the
south and shoddy aristocracy in the
north almost obiterated the honored
precedents and customs of
the olden time.

control its silver output and a consid-

Simon Guggenheim has been the
western representative of the family
for nearly dozen years. He has a
knowledge OF the smelling business
and Is regarded as one of the ablest
mining experts in the country. SO
enormously has the wealth of this
FAMILY multiplied In recent years that
men familiar, with the facts hesitate
to set any figure, fearing to expose
themselves to charge of exaggeration,
They assert that the combined wealth
OF the seven men runs into the hun
dreds of millions.
The coming senator is next to the
youngest of the seven brothers. He
was born In Philadelphia December 2g
1867, hence, he Will be 80 years old next

LUMBER TRUST METHODS

A partial explanation of the present
initiation of lumber prices is given in
the last bulletin issued by the federal
department of labor and commerce. It
appears that the exports of wood and
wood products from the United States
have increased more than one
third within the last few months
These exports represent lumber, chiefly,
from the sources of supply on the Pa
cific coast. The total during the pres
ent year, mostly shipments from our
northern ports. have been at the rate
of nearly $S,00O,0 900 in value per month,
This enormous drain of lumber for
foreign account is given as the chief
reason, by the northern lumbermen,
for the extraordinary marking up of
their prices during the present year.
The several advances in lumber prices
in the Los Angeles market during the
year are equal to a total increase of
about one-third over the figures a year
ago. That tallies with the statement
concerning the increased exports of
lumber from the northern ports, in
shipments that have gone as far as
Australia South Africa and other re-
mote parts of the earth.
The northern lumber trust is operat-
ing on the general plan of all the big
American trusts that are seeking con-
troll of foreign trade. The largely in
creased lumber exports are made at a
small margin of proft-so small that
Canadian and other lumber producers
cannot successfully compete. Other
trusts carry this policy TO the point of
selling their products abroad at cost
for the sake OF killing competition, and
there is not much doubt that American
lumber is sold abroad at cost in cases
where that Is necessary to freeze out
competitors.
But American home builders and
other lumber users are made to pay
for the low figures at which foreigners
thus get their supplies. The domestic
markets are wholly at the mercy of
the lumbermen and there is no escape
from the merciless advances in prices
that come with alarming frequency.
The cost OF monopolizing foreign mar
kets by all American trusts is saddled
upon American consumers.
The only means OF relief from this
tyranny OF the lumber magnates lies
In Canadian competition. That is
