THE REPUBLICAN, SPLIT


The only thing nnanifestly sure about
the Republican nominee for the presi-
dency Is that he will be a product Of
great tribulation. The most bitter In
ternal fight that the party has expert
enced in its history Of half a century
seems to be assured. Aside from that
outlook there is general cloudiness in
the Republican sky that portends
disastrous storm.
The appearance Of two avowed as
pirants for the Republican presidential
nomination, both from the state that
has flched Virginia's distinction as "the
mother Of presidents" is only tie be-
ginning Of the end.
Senator Foraker's bold defiance of the
''big stick" by his challenge of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's favorite for the nom
ination, will soon cause the less cour-
ageous aspirants to show their hands.
Vice President Fairbanks has given the
tip to his Indiana henchmen to "whoop
up" the claims of the iceberg statesman
on the banks of the Wabash and
throughout Hoosierdom. Uncle Joe
Cannon has returned from the Panama
canal zone in a mood indicating that
he is loaded to the muzzle for the pres
idential fray, and at least dozen more
"favorite sons'' are on the political
anxious seat.
Although President Roosevelt per-
sists in disclaiming any purpose to
push his preference for the nomination,
the leaning toward his londerous Sec
retary of war is quite apparent. Son
in-law Longworth, who is chasing the
senatorial rainbow in Ohio, is advocat-
ing Secretary Taft's nomination, be-
cause, as he says. the secretary would
carry out President Roosevelt's poll
cies."
The Republican split in Ohio will cer-
tainly broaden and spread to other
states as the time approaches for the
national convention. The issue is so
clearly defined and Of so uncompromis-
ing character that it must be fought
to finish.
The simple question involved in the
split is whether President Roosevelt
himself or his political legatee shall
continue to dominate the Republican
party, treating all other leaders as if
they were tallow dips in the glare of
calcium light.
Whether President r Roosevelt really is
in receptive mood himself concerning
the nomination is an open question in
spite of all carefully phrased denfals.
However that may be, it is certain that
the president is determined that his
policies shall continue to prevail, no
matter whether he or his legatee shall
occupy the presidential chair.
On the other hand, the disaffection
among the ignored leaders of the party
of whom Senator Foraker is a type has
been intensifying during the last two
years and now has reached the point
of open and defiant revolt.
The Republican party was born in
the throes of just such tribulation as
now seems to be it's inevitable lot.
From the Whig partys agony of disso-
luton the infant Republican party
! came into existence. And now, after
little more than half a century of
| life the time seems to be drawing
near when it may BE said OF 1t, to
adapt a thought from Macbeth's So
liloquy, After lifes fit2ul fever it sleeps

groups and stay with us.

A LUMBER KNoTHolH

There is a great deal Of sophistry IN
the arguments advanced by local lum-
Der dealers in support Of the sky-scrap-
ing figures demanded for their wares.
For instance, the largest dealer In
lumber In Los Angeles, probably, says
freights from Puget sound and other
Washington points have been adj
vanced in the last twelve or fourteen
months to as much as s1O,5O and now
are SO, the prevailing rate south"
Stopping right there for the moment
why have not local consumers been
given the benefit of that particular drop
Of $1.50 per 1000 feet? When prices were
soaring, as all buyers we'll remember.
every mark up in the cost OF transporta-
tion was heralded by the dealers as
convincing cause for their own COR
responding advance in prices.
AS summary Of the situation, from
the viewpoint of the local dealers. we
are told that lumber dealers of Los
Angeles are not making any money"
Assuming the correctness of the state
ment, It carries with It a reminder of
the person who killed the goose that
laid golden eggs. The dealers will not
deny that they made money hand over
fist" when prices were running up like
mercury in the thermometer on a
sizzling day.
But even lumber prices cannot always
soar. The continual marking up of
figures finally led to the stoppage of a
large percentage of building, particu-
larly of the class most profitable to the
lumber dealers AS a consequence the
dozens Of big lumber yards in Los An
geles are stocked with products of the
mills and the thought of a necessitated
mark-down has the effect of a night
mare.
The lumber trade of Los Angeles is
dull as a result of the curtailment of
building and the effect thereof begins
to appear in intimations that some
dealers are cutting prices below
standard figures. There are strenuous
denials in the trade of a trust, pool or
combine of any sort for the control of
prices, but buyers know well that the
price of one dealer has been substan-
TALLY the price of all.
There are rather specific intimations
that some of the lumber dealers are
offering special discounts or otherwise
making concessions to contractors.
There is no present means of knowing
how true the allegation may be, but
there is enough in the indications to
warrant the belief that break In the
lumber market cannot much longer be
avoided.
The lumber trade is no exception to
the fundamental rule that the value of
any product depends upon the supply
and demand thereof. The extraordinary
demand for lumber caused by the San
Francisco calamity and the phenomenal
building record in Los Angeles and
elsewhere in Southern California, gave
on opportunity for sending prices sky
high.
But what goes up must come down"
Even the lumber barons are as power
less to subvert that natural law as was
King Canute to stop the rising tide.

BELLBoY HAS CANE
OF GREAT VALUE

Percy Ellwood, bellboy at the Alex
andria, has walking stick that the
connoisseurs around the lobby say is a
gem. 1t has the appearance of pol
ished agate, but is different from that
stone in that the markings are regu-
larly ringed, in shades varying from
deep brown to white. 1t is of horn the
cane is composed. Two hundred cross
sections Of steers horns in graduated
size were required to make the hand
some and unique 10y, which was sent
to Ellwood by Johnny" Russell, a
frontiersman of Williams, Arizona.
The head of the stick is of silver in
laid with mother of pearl. The present
came to Ellwood from his Arizone
friend on the occasion of his marriage
a few months ago, while to his wife
was given a beautiful moonstone neck
lace. Russell and the bellboy became
firm friends when the latter was run
ming the Harvey eating house at Selig-
man, Arizone.
