Hans Hanson is a beautiful story.

a climax is intensified, how sadness is
made more sad; comedy more comical

The orchestra carried by the Hans

The Strength Of Taft.

There Will be $50 votes in the Re

these 80 lie west of the Mississippi
river and go east of 1t; eastward of
the Mississippi in the South are
2SO votes SO that the united west
and south would have $40 votes,
or more than enough to nominate.
1t is practically conceded that Sec
rotary Taft will have the solid
West, meaning the territory west of
the Mississippi river, or go votes.
Going east of the river he will have
to begin with the as votes of Ohio.
Therefore he could be nominated
without the help of another state
north of the Mason and Dixon land
II he carries two-thirds of the south.
But Mr.. Taft is apparently in al
ready better shape than that. For
he has at this writing the possibility
Of opposition to him only from the
"favorite son" states OF New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana,
with combined vote of $50. dele
gates. The combined West-that is
all states lying west OF the Mississippi
pi rlver-easily counterbalances
those great states, with 80 votes.
Taft could lose one-third of the
south, all of the New England States
and the favorite son states and
still be nominated on the first bal
lot.
1t has been the custom to belittle
the West as a presidential factor, but
that was because the South usually
Joined its voting strength to that
of the East. or late years the
South has manifested disposition
to stand with the West and the
South and West united are easily

convention
The West Is practically united for
Taft; the South is uniting for Taft,
and it only remains for the North
and East to get into the band wag-
on which they will do as soon as
they can shake off the present hue
and cry of the favorite sons and
some of their reactionary following.

Williams amendment which pro
yldes for absolute prohibition, the
following by the sistersville Daily
OIL Review being a sample, al
though probable prohibition condl-
tions given therein not being Of
actual reality in West Virginia the
State never having had the oppor-
tunity to experiment or to derive
experience in this particular:
This bill conforms much better to
a rational consideration Of the tenn
perance movement than the prohi-
bition or other measures which have
so far been proposed Such bill
Incorporated into law would not be
offensive TO the higher ideas Of per-
sonal liberty and personal choice.
It would permit those counties and
municipalities which want to be
clear Of the liquor traffic to effect
prohibition within their borders
without forcing upon counties and
municipalities which favor the sale
of liquor similar Legislation. 1t has
been the experience of statewide
prohibition states that in those coun-
ties where 1t is the desire to have
liquor sold the prohibitory decree
is flagrantly violated by means of
the speak-easies, boot-leggers and
the like and that the authorities
wink at the violations under screen
of public opinion and sentiment in
such localities. This is why pro-
hibition is being stamped failure
in most of the states that should be
dry under the law.
"The Littlepage resolution also
has the merit of giving to cities OF
sufficient population the right to
vote on the liquor question apart
from the rest of the county. A
municipality should have the same
privilege that is granted other cor
porations Of managing its affairs,
excise or otherwise, without inter
ference from country districts"
1t must be conceded that the CON
ditions as described by the Review
under prohibition are merely pre-
dicted and the conclusions are not
from actual experience in the State
At the same timetits conclusions in
this respect are reasonably based on
what our knowledge is of conditions
in other states, where the prohibit
ton principle was incorporated into
law.

building Operations and supply

Cement and steel and brick and
stone are not yet used in sufficient
quantities to encourage lumber
users to predict the time when the
forests will not be called upon to
furnish the principal materials used
in building operations Notwith-
standing the remarkable increase in
the use of cement and other fire.
proof materials, the last reports of
the building operations in forty-nine
of the leading cities of the United
States for the year collected by the
Geological Survey, show that So per
cent we're of wooden construction.
Even If the forty-one per cent of
the buildings were built of brick,
stone and concrete, vas quantities
of wood are consumed both in the
construction and in the finish,
though in the latter form, metal is
taking the place of wood to a very
large extent. The amount of lum-
Der given above does not take into
consideration this item a all
While this percentage is repre-
sentative of the building industry
in the United States, dealers point
out that it does not include the
large quantities of lumber used for
the construction of dwellings, stores
and other buildings in the thousands
of small cities and towns scattered
over the country and not included
in the forty-nine cities on which a
reckoning was made In towns and
small cities wood is usually the
predominating building material
and If safe to say that If the statis-
tees for all places, of whatever
size, the percentage of wooden con-
struction would have been much
greater These figures, as rule,
are only for the corporate limits, and
the suburbs of these cities have each
very large amounts to be added The
cost, also, is relatively, higher in
these cities than in towns nearer the
base Of supply
In wooden buildings New York
City is at the bottom of the list,
though it leads with 1905 as the
average cost Of buildings. Except
at San Francisco, where abnormal
conditions have prevailed since the
fire, Boston shows the greatest in
crease of any of the cities in the to-
tai cost Of building operations. The
average cost OF buildings is con
stantly increasing, having risen over
$500 in the last three years. The
average value of a building is given
in the report as $2,O35.
Lumber is by far the greatest
drain on the forests, and the won
derful development Of the country
during the last decade has called
for the use of nearly forty billion
board feet year. The largest
quantity ever reported for a single
year, was for 1906, when thirty
seven and one-half billion feet, with
milrb value OF 1921, 151,3SS was
used. Including the value of the
lath and shingles used with this
amount, the total value of wood
used for buildings is brought upto
$656,796,513.
The increasing price Of lumber
and the rapidly increasing use of

struction should have mu9r to do
with holding down the amount
which the forests are called upon to

THE CHOLERA IN RUSSIA.

There is no justification for an Over-cen-
sorious tone toward Russia because Of the pesti-
lence raging there as though those upon whom
the tower in Sloan fell were sinners above ri
'men that dwelt in Jerusalem We have had
epidemics here too. and there is no land that
has not thus suffered. 1t is largely because of
certain community of desolaton that the
worlds best sympathy goes freely out TO the
land of the Car.
At the same time justice. and a justice which
sbould be of profit To Russia herself, requires
the fact to be recognized that of all European
or other countries enjoying or processing civil
zatiop Russia seems most 10 suffer from what
we must regard as preventable plaques, and TO
he so afflicted because Of inefficient sanitary ad-
ministration. Alone Of all European countries,
she has long been subject to frequent incursions
of the very pestilence which is now prevalent
and spreading. Typhus and typhoid feverS have
been endemic in a large part of the empire
from time immemora The comparative vital
statistics of European countries are appalling
in their significance. The latest figures at hand
reveal that III every 100000 of the population
there are in Norway each year 1.4S0 deaths in
Denmark 1,5e0. in the United Kingdom 1850
in Sweden 800 and in Finland 1,710, while N

conparable with these lands, there are 32l0.
Or If we turn TO countries more closely resem-
bling in climate the other parts of Russia, we
find in France $50 deaths, in Germany 1,960,

with its tumble of tribes, some of them only
half civilized, 2,370, and even in Servia only
244O. The question may well be asked why
Russia's death rate should be more than twice
as high rs that of Great Britain any OF The
Scandinavian lands; why it should be 30 per
cent higher than that of France, Germany or
Bulgaria and why it should be more than one
third larger than that of the Dual Realm or
even Of Seryia-
The conclusion seems inevitable that the old
Russian system" the despotic combination uf
aut0cracy and bureaucracy. not Cnly denied she

ioyed but also failed 10 give them the benefits
of modern civilization and the advance OF sci

lection of human health and life We have not
hesitated TO say that it is grave reproach to
an American community To have an epidemic Of
tvnhod fever. IT surely must, with all possible
allowances and sympathy, be regarded as dis

such a prevalence OF cholera Is now reported
from a large part of Russia, including the met
