The poles are not farther apart

an and his tenets. These Southern
leaders have not waited unit, the last
minute to begin the attack upon
Bryan. They doubtless realize that
his following is large and that a
campaign to unhorse him, to be sue

Rayner are not men who talk into

purpose, and 1t can be nothing other
than the complete relegation of the

More than a coincidence is the
fact that two distinguished Southern
Democrats, members of the United
States senate, have within few
days delivered themselves of care
fully prepared articles assailing Mr..
Bryan's policies, says the Wheel

suggestion of government ownership
of railroads. Senator Rayner. of
Maryland, blazed the way in a three
column interview In the Baltimore

Adam Litlepage's boom foc the
Democratic nomination for governor
has been started by the Chilronss and
George Byrne is getting ready to
run, too. Some say George is to be
John T. McGraw's candidate, but the
experienced political observer thinks
otherwise. He may be McGraw's
candidate long enough to get the
Democracy in the southern part of
the State hopelessly divided, but,
when the time comes the astute
Doctor McGraw will run in a gentle
man from the northern part and
carry off the nomination. Just who
he will be possibly none will know
until McGraw returns from abroad.

The Fairmont Times should be re-
buked by every Clarksburger who
reads it for making the following
and the Times will likely
learn to its sorrow within the next
few days that it emitted such rot:
"clarksDurg rooters. who by the
way, are about the dirtiest in the.
league, yelled themselves boarse at
the beginning of the game and the
remarks they hurled at tn Fairmoat
players were raw. Women who at
tended the game left disgusted and
the department of the crowd was the
worst seen in the entire league this
year"
The Times "overdone" itself again.

Having stated that he knows vir-
tually nothing about the business of
the Standard Oil Company, how does
Rockefeller now reconcile his fear of
going to court. with the knowledge
that if he knew nothing, he. couldnot
get into trouble? It seems passing
strange that he knew so little about
the business that brings him in mil
lions every year, but possibly It
takes all his time to count his
money, and he could not waste any
time in learning any of the details
of the business the past several
years. Apparently he knows so lit
tie about the business of the Stand
ard that his name ought not to be
connected with the company any
longer.

Increased Value of Saw Logs.

The increased value of log stump
age is reflected in the increased value
of the products of the lumber camps.
Saw logs, the principal product of
the industry. increased in quantity
from 25,279,7O2 thousand feet in
1900 to 27,9SO,76 In 1905, a gain
of 1922 per cent. The number of
railway ties reported increased from
22.524,64O to 36.445,3Os, or els
per cent; while their value increas-
ed from $6,277,439 to s12,413,793
Of a7s per cent. The average value
of tie rose from IS cents in 1900
to "a cents in 1905. In this con-
nection it should be noted that the
census figures do not include ties
cut by farmers during the winter
months and sold directly to the rail-
roads. 1t should also be noted that
the figures are for hewn ties. Sawed
ties are forming an increasing per-
ceftage of the total production of
railway ties In the country, and they
are reported by the mills in thousand
feet under the heading of rough tim
her. The other products of the lum-
Der camp generally show an in
crease both in quantity and value.
Hemlock bark, however, decreased
in quantity from 471.SO2 cords 10
391.691 cords, but it increased in
value from s1,94o.O57 to $2,S47,-
463. Charcoal decreased both in
quantity and value.

Bryan has practically acknowl-
edged that he can nos be elected
President, if nominated. But Bryan
is making about $4,000 year on
the lecture platform and to remain
star along this line, it is thought
he must keep his grasp on the Dem

charged that he is using the Demo-
