WHO IS TELLING THE TRUTH !?

There has been another addition
to President Roosevelt's famous
Annanias Club.
This time it is no less parsonage
that the famous manipulation OF
railroads, Ed ward Ell. Hartman.
President Roosevelt doesn't call
Hartman liar, but he says that
word might be correctly applied
to him.
And out of this latest sensation
may grow one of the nastiest scan
dals the Republican party has
been up against in many years.
During the last campaign Judge
Parker charged openly that the
republican managers were pluck
ing the trusts and railroad wreck
ers and greatcorporations generally
for money with which to buy the
election. Roosevelt Indignantly
denied the charge. Since then il
has been conclusiyely shown that
Judge Parker told the truth and
not Roosevelt. The story OF
contributions, enforced or other.
wise. from the life insurance com.
pan1es. is known to the entire
world.
Now comes a letter from Harri
man in which he declares thai
Roosevelt sent for him, told hin
that money was necessary to VIII
the election, and urged him to raise
it. Depew was a drawback to the
party success in New York and
Roosevelt agreed to make him al
ambassador to get rid of him
With that understanding Harri
man went home to work anG
through his influence the barre
was filed to overlooking, the cam
paign was supplied with grease
sufficient to carry it through, ant
Roosevelt was elected.
And now comes the President
denouncing Harriman's letter as {
deliberate and wilful untruth. ,
But inasmuch as he also charged
Parker with the same disregard O.
truth, and it has been shown tha'
the Judge told the truth, how il
the public to know but that Harri
man is also in Judge Parker
class?
The more the public learns abou
the last presidential campaign tn,
nastier it looks for Roosevelt
Cortelyou and others leaders O
that party.

THE POSSIBILITY OF DANGER.

The Times Recorder has pub
Used several items during the past
month telling of phenomenal in
creases in the value of real estate,
improved and unimproved. The
advances in the past two or three
years, In some instances, have
ranged from one hundred to three
hundred per cent.
1t is very gratifying to report
news items that tell the story of a
city's prosperity and upward
movement. improvements in realty
values are generally regarded as
the surest indications of vigorous
business life in a community and
assurance of a bright future. At
this time this is nndeniably true
of Americas. The tremendous
jumps in values of land have been
due to the new life that the city
has taken on and the general feel
ing that the city's future growth is
to be at a rapid rate.
While this is true there is always
an element of danger in too rapid
an advance in values of property.
The effect is to check the demand
except for speculative purposes,
and to hinder the erection of homes
and business properties. Wise
students of municipal affairs the
world over deprecate real estate
booms as dangerous to a eity's
solid growth and an element OF
danger in the periods of reaction
that inevitably ensue.
Americas has been through one
era of booming, and the recollec'
tions Of it are not of the most
pleasant nature to many of its
citizens. While the recent tremen.
dOus advances in values are pre-.
Dictated on a very healthful con.
dition of business affairs here, it is
to be feared that the inevitable
result viii be to hinder the actual
building up of the city if similar
continued advances mark the near
future. This is the element OF
danger in the situation that must
be guarded against.
Fitzgerald is now suffering from
a tremendous slump in realty
values. It's daily paper states that
values are considerably below what
they were, and it will be some time
before normal trading basis gets
established. While Fitzgerald is
hardly in the class of Americas
there is a lesson for all cities in its
recent experience.

FOR WOOD PRESERVATION.
Efforts of Uncle Sam to Prevent De.
cay of Valuable Lumber.

| Efforts of Uncle Sam to Prevent De-
cay of Valuable Lumber.
Uncle Sam Is making careful and
elaborate investigations Of methods of
preserving wood, which are expected to
| result in the savings of millions of dol
| lars annually by the prevention Of de-
| cay. 1t has been determined that coal
tar creosote is a most effective preser-
vative of timber and a number Of ex-
periments are being made along this
line.
Those most directly and materially
interested in the experiments in the
methods Of creosote treatment are the
railroad companies, the mining inter-
ests Of the country and the telephone
companies.
All Of these industries expend mill
Ions of dollars every year in renewing
timber which is made useless through
rapid decay. The growing scarcity Of
the more durable woods has made it
necessary for the lumber industry to
turn to the less durable timbers. The
economical utilization Of many woods
which are very susceptible to decay
would be out Of the question but for
the possibility Of preserving them
through treatment.
1t has been shown in the experiments
which have been made that the life
of some kinds of timber can be doubled
or trebled by impregnation with creo-
sote oil.
A representative Of the forest service
is now visiting a number Of the large
eastern cities in the study Of creosote
oil production and the coal tars which
furnish the raw material for it. The
commercial use Of preservatives will
check the work Of the insects and fungi
which DESTROY the timber.
