For ca%refulness of expression

our present educational advan-

those OF proceeding ages, and
yet in spite of our supremacy
in that particular we have more
insanity and pauperism now
than ever in the history of the
world.
The true gauge of progress is
not to be found in the moneyed
or leisured classes of any age.
but in the great toiling and
wage earning classes. Not only
the poor, but even the positive
ly poor of our age are greatly
in advance of previous ages.
They live in better houses and
cabins, have windows, cook
stoves, doors and better venti-
lation and sanitary conditions
than were known or dreamed of
in preceding ages. Rome, the
mistress of the old world
was materially grand, and in
tellectualiy great, but Rome in
her palmiest days had no news
papers, kilograms, railroad
trains, postage stamps, moving
machines nor sewing machines
beside hundreds of other mod

old world people were not in
intellectual darkness. In the
arts and sciences, in sculpture,
in music, poetry and architect
ure, in the promulgating of law

of logic, in military genius,
and in colonizing ability we
have not surpassed them. And
yet they failed to find a per
manent and satisfying form of
government. Ancient civiliza-
ton failed to propagate itself
because it was in the last an
alysis purely selfish, and if our
modern civilization shall project
itself into the far distant future,
it would be because we have an
added quality in our govern
ment in the idea of God and our
relation to Him. Our modern
civilization is founded on the
idea of man as a unit of rights,
and not as a unit of strength as
with Rome. Through the rev
citation of the Man of Galilee,
we have come into possession
of knowledge that was unknown
to the ancients, but it is one
thing to know a virtue and it is
another thing to have strength
to do it. The religion of the
Galilean will establish the right
relations of one man to another
and of both men to God. And
these relations rightly under

BUILDING OPERATIONS AND THE TIMBER SUPPLY.

Cement and steel and brick and stone are not used in sufficient quan- tites to encourage lumber users to predict the time when the forests win not be called on to furnish the prinei- pal materials used in building opera tions. Notwithstanding the remark able increase in the use of cement and other freproof materials. the last reports of the building opera tions in forty nine of the leading cities of the United States for the year. collected by the geological sur vey. show that 59 per cent were of wooden construction.
 Even if the remaining Al per cent were built of brick, stone and con crete, vast 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 very large extent. The amount ds lumber given above does not take into consideration this item at all.
 While this percentage is represen- tative of the building industry in the United States, dealers point out that it does not include theslarge quanti- ties 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 reckoning was made.
 In towns and small cities wood is usually the predominating building material and it is safe to say that if the statistics had included figures for all places of whatever size, the percentage of wooden construction would have been much greater.
 These figures, as rule, are only for the corporate limits, and the, SUI burbs 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 the supply.
 In wooden buildings, New York city is at the bottom of the list, though it leads with s18,O75 as the average cost of buildings. Except San Francisco where abnormal conditions have pre- vailed since the fire, Boston shows the greatest increase of any of the | cities in the total cost of building operations. The average cost oi buildings is constantly increasing

NOTHING DOING -sN THE TARIFF.

Announcement comes from Wash ington that Speaker Cannon approved the statement of Chairman Paine of the house finance committee, that there would be no step taken during the present session looking to the provision of a tariff commission to make investigation of the existing tariff, schedules. This simply means that the "standpatters" are yet su- preme in the control of the republi- can party and that they do not pro pose to even take the first step in consideration of tariff reform so long as thoy can possibly avoid it.
 Promise is made that commission may be provided at the short session of the sixtieth congress but whether such a commission is provided or not will depend upon the result of the coming fall election. Should there be a victory for those who contend that the tariff should be totally re moved from all articles controlled by monopoly, then those opposed to tar iii revision or reduction would be quick to provide commission as a means of delaying actual legislation. The democrats should not fail to continue a determined insistence on tariff legislation, the lowering of all the duties md the total obliteration of many, during the coming cam paign. The old doctrine of tariff for revenue only'' should be the beacon light to be followed by the democrats and ali others who believe in equal rights for all and special privileges for none during the coming presiden- tial campaign. We do not believe the republicans can successfully defend their obstinacy in holding on to tho high protective duties when it is a fac; that many of the manufactured articles which receive the benefit of protection are sold in foreign coun- tries for less than the people of the United States are compelled to pay. The republicans of the northwest have. during recent years. had their eyes opened to the iniquity of the republican high protective tariff, and it is not expected that they will again remain loyal to a party which has coaxed and promised for two years, but which now refuses to even take the first step towards tariff reform.

having risen over $500 during the last three years
 Lumber is by far the greatest drain on the forests and the wonderful de velopment of the country during the past decade has called for the use of nearly forty bfilien board feet a year. The largest quantity ever re- ported for a single year was in 1906, thirty-seven and one-half billion feet, with a mill value of $621,151,Sss, was used Including the value of the laths and shingles with this amount the to- tai value of the wood used for build ings is brought up to s656, ,769,513.
 The increasing price of lumber and the rapidly increasing use of perfect ed fireproofing systems of construc- ton should have much to oo in holu- ing down the amount which the foi- ests are called upon to yield each year, but so far these more substan- tial materials have not decreased the lumber cut of the nation.

without incsdent except that the young man was slightly worried about not getting his daily bath and shave as he was used to in New York.
 On arriving at Urique the manager of the mining company to whom he had been sent put the young man to work the next day checking up and taking an inventory of some machin- cry. The work was in the hot sun and then is when his feet began to get cold. A slight bilious attack came oa, then it was fear of rising in his head and he must get to a doctor All hands tried to get him to brace up but they gave up prompt ly when this reply came with tears in his voice.

Such case, how ever, the editor of The Enterprise has just met in the person of well built, well developed athletic looking young man and he has to admit. moreover, that the victim of mothers nerves" was a newspaper man having just come from a big New York daily to Mexico ito learn mining"

Ex-Governor N. o. Murphy has again taken up his residence in Phoe- nix after having been absent from the territory the most of the time for two years looking after business else where. The many friends of the ex- governor will be glad to know that he is back in the territory for perma- nent residence. Arizona never had a more loyal friend than Oaks Murphy and he was one of the men who re- mained constantly at Washington during the long fight against joint statehood. The ex-governor has al ways ranked as leader in the repub- lican party and bears the distinction of being the only republican that has represented the territory in congress during the last thirty years. In the contest now on between the two wings of the republican party for control of the delegation to Chicago we win expect to see Governor Murphy take a leading part He has always been regarded as a political wheelhorse and it will be easy for him to gather the old guard into battling shape again. With such men as Oaks Mur- phy and Bob Morrison leading the forces who favor an uni tructed del egation the federal officials will find plenty to do in keeping the Taft band wagon in the lead.
