The Democrats of Maryland in
their convention last week adopted
the plan of nominating Senators by
primary election, and this plan will
prevail hereafter. We should like to
see the dominant party in this State
provide for the same thing. 1t is
fair and sensible and gives everybody
eehance. 1t seems to US that the
plan of buying a legislature, or OF
nominating members of that body
solely that votes for senatorial can.

We have no doubt that if Senators
were nominated by primary elections
that West Virginia would have better
representation.

MOTE: The writer was prob
ably misled into making this state
ncnt by the fact that several years
ago an infringing title to part OF
the asphalt property was sold to
II rival Interest for 100000. But
the purchaser never benefited by
this move because President Castr:
in 1904, himself seized the Bermr-
dez Asphalt Lake and appointed
a receiver, who has ever since
been engaged in sehIng asphalt for
the JOINT account of Castro, the re-
ceiver. and A. l.. Barber, the
agent in New York who acted az
the distributor. These facts, often
alleged, by the asphalt company,
have been verified lately by testi-
mony given in suit pending i'll
the New York Supreme Court.
A witness in this case testified
that Mr.. Barber told him verbally,
and wrote letters ((produced i'll
court) which expose the plans
made by Castro, the receiver
and Barber to market the asphalt
from the seized property. This
was before the courts had acted
on the seizure, but Mr.. Barber
explained to the witness that
"most OF the judges who had been
unfavorable had been removed ("
and that there was s'nothing t0
do but wait patiently for the mills
Of the courts to grind cut the
grist which we are all anxious to
get. /"

Boston, Mass, jan 30.
To the President and the Congress Of the
United States:
Believing heartily In the mission OF Sec
retary Root to establish closer relations
between the peoples of America and be-
ing also Of the opinion that tariff laws
should be changed as conditions change,
we indorse the attitude In behalf of tariff
revision taken by the late national for
eign trade convention at Washington.
We indorse the principle there approved
of the creation OF maximum and min
imum tariff schedules TO be applied with
out the Intervention of treaties. but 9TH
erwise following the general precedent of
the reciprocity clause In the Mckinley
tariff In favor OF such countries as will
make concessions to us.
We further favor the establishment. as
urged by the convention OF a tariff COM
mission that shall impartially investigate
and report from time to time to congress
when schedules appear to be in need of
modification, whether In cases where du-
ties once needed for the protection of
American Industries have become or may
become obsolete or unnecessary or. on
the other hand. where new Industries
may require new protection or new ex-
penses further revenue.
In all cases OF tariff revision however,
the test should be not SIS such a duty
demandedT but SIS such duty needed?"
We respectfully urge upon the pres-
dent and the congress immediate action
along these lines. and should the limita-
ton OF time make this impossible In the
present session of congress we respect
fully petition the president to use the
powers placed In his hands for the con-
sideration OF this subject without further
delay.

More Evidence,

Under the caption "The Lumber
Problem" the Kansas City Times, in.
dependent, says editorially:
Minneapolis has been obliged to close
down building operations because of n
lack of shingle. This Is due to n shortage
OF cars resulting from the blockade of
transcontinental railroads and also to
the lumber trust, which controls the traf.
fic and the prices of lumber. The condi-
tions call attention to two phases of the
building situation which deserve serious
attention.
1t has been suggested recently that
congress shall lease the reserves for the
cutting of such trees as have grown to
maturity and are threatened with decay.
In this way not only would the waste OF
lumber be prevented, but competition
would be established with the lumber
trust, which Is pernicious and an obstacle
to economical building.
Another remedy is that now being con-
sidered by the Pennsylvania legislature
which concerns the future OF forestry. II
IL proposed to preserve the state lands
intact and make them nurseries for COM
ing forests, Not only are the Alleghanies
almost entirely denuded of trees, but tho
forests of Michigan and Wisconsin have
been laid low, while the great northwest
in the grip of the trust. Is fast being
stripped of trees. 1t has been argued be-
fore the Pennsylvania Legislature that
while iron ore can be turned into steel In
few hours, not all the wealth of the
world can make tree grow faster than
nature has from the beginning intended.
The fault has been our great profligacy
In the beginning. Where few years ago
lumber was sawed and sold green at from
"a to 81 n thousand feet II is now being
cured and planed and brings from $50 to
$50 n thousand. There are probably
enough trees to last a couple OF genera
tions. but what will posteity do IL we
not only refuse to preserve the small area
of forests remaining, but, like the foolish
farmer who raised a single crop Of wheat
and then let the field lie fallow for years
refuse to make provision for future
growth of forests?

Ex-United States Senator Benson of
refused an election to the United States
senate. True. 1t was only u forty day
fragment of a term, but it was an elec-
ton nevertheless. 1t will be remem-

signed Governor Hoch appointed Ben
son to serve till the meeting of the

Burtons unfinished term and for a

Proposition to Reform tho House RuIco,
A great many members are weary
Of the stringcncy of the house rules.
Among these is Judge Dorsey w.
Shackleford of Missouri, now coming
to be what the late Charles Fremont
Cochran of Missouri would have called
ian old and experienced member" The
general complaint is that the present
rules give the speaker entirely too
much power. This is claimed by most
Democrats and by a few Republicans.
Before Colonel William p. Hepburn
was made chairman of the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce he
would deliver philippe In each con
gress against the rules, but since he
was made chairman of that committee
he has omitted that speech. Whether
the craftsmanship caused him to quit
or whether he came to realize the fu-
| tlity of 1t. | know not. First and last,
Judge Shackleford has made several
speeches on the subject himsclf-ex-
cellent speeches, too, full of fire and
vigor The Judge evidently learned to
spell out of Webster's old blue backed
speller and took to heart the story Of
how an old man tried to scare boy
out of his favorite apple tree by throw
ing tufts of grass ut him. Finding 1t
had no effect. he began to throw rocks.
whereupon the boy came down. So
the judge. finding that his speeches did
not change the situation and with hope
still springing in his breast, intro
duced resolution which will do the
work II he can get 1t passed. His reso-
luton is In words and figures as fol
lows:
Resolved That rule 10 of the rules Of
the house of representatives be amended

otherwise specially ordered by the house
the speaker shall appoint at the com.

Said committee shall consist of twelve

lowing manner: Immediately after tho

may cast twelve votes, all of which may
be for one person or distributed among
several, as he may choose. The twelve
persons receiving the highest number OF
votes shall be declared elected members
of said committee. Said members so Sc
lected shall organize by the selection Of
one of their number as chairman. To
said committee shall be referred all pro-
posed action touching the rules. joint
rules and order of business. Said COM
mittee as soon as selected and organized
shall proceed to. the appointment of the
