The election results, while without
general political Significance, show
the interest or the voters and results
are OF a much mixed character. In
Kentucky, the republicans have won
the. governorship, but the democrats
will still control the legislature. In
Rhode Island. on the contrary, the
democrats have the governor but the
republicans the legislature which will
elect a United States senator. In
Massachusetts the governor is re-
elected. ~, ....
Maryland is democratic, by about
seven thousand: These are the only
states in which general political Sig

A PRESSING PROBLEM

Washington, Nov. 0.-"In twenty
years the timber supply in the United
States on Government reserves and
private holdings, at the present rate
OF cutting, will be exhausted, al
though 1t. is possible that the growth
OF that period might extend the ar
Er1Val of the famine another Ave
tyears." ~ This announcement was
made today by Clifford Pinchot the
Government Forester, who has Just
returned, from a six months inspec-
lion trip, In which he travelled 5000
miles.
IN sounding his warning, Mr..
flnchot urged that the danger of the
situation should not be .underesti-
mated. He said that the United
states uses more timber than any
other country, and that every man,
woman, and child would be affected.
he decsed the policy Of discounting
the future of the country by failure
to protect the natural resources. and
ne advises every one who has not
already done so to read President
Rooseve1t's speech at Memphis on
this general subject.
About one~fifth Of the forest area
OF the country is in Government re-
serves, but Mr.. Pinchot called atten-
ton to the fact that, as privately
owned timber. lands are better than
the Government reserves, as a rule.
the Cove. nment does not control one.
nth of the timber supply.
The Forest Service will ask for
money and an order to extend the
service, and will push the work Of re-
foresting the denuded timber lands.
MT. P1nchot says, however, that It is
utterly beyond the possibility Of the
service to meet the situation and pre-
vent serious trouble. One hope en-
terta1ned Is the Appalachian forest,
and an effort will be made to protect
this and promote the growth there.
A scheme advocated by the State
Forester Of California Is being watch
ed with great deal Of interest. I'M
der the police powers Of the State
the Forester is endeavoring to pro-
tect the watersheds and prevent pri-
Vate owners from devastating these
lands In such manner aB win in1ure
irrigation Of lands below. If this
plan works we'll the Government For
ester believes It will be taken I'D in
other States, and the Federal au-
thorities will be aided greatly by the
cooperation.
Mr.. Pinchot produced figures to
show that at the present increase in
the value Of timber land the owners
Of such lands are making more money
by letting the timber develop than
they would by cutting IT, marketing
it, and putting out the proceeds al
interest.
President Roosevelt expects to
call conference In Washington
shortly Of Governors OF States aud
experts In the study Of natural re-
sources. The conference will be for
the purpose Of developing sentiment
in favor Of the Administrations pol
icy Of looking into the future in the
matter Of conserving the natural re-
sources such as timber, coat, oil, and
gas, and the various minerals.
