For State Central Committeeman
there is Dr. j. A. Wheeler whom
you all know. He is one, if not the
best, qualified man in this district
for such an office. His long expert
ence in public Offices makes him the
most fit man for the place. Then
too, he is highly respected and hon
ored by his party, from governor
down to janitOr or porter. Every
body admires DR.. Wheeler. He has.
also a clean record. AS long as he
has filed Office, not one word Of der
ogation is heard. He is State Game
Commissioner, appointed to that
Office because he is the factor or
author Of our fine State Game Farms,
DR.. Wheeler is a man who has made
a record worthy of emulation. He
is no miniature politician. Cows
Yates and Deneen recognize DR..
Wheeler in the highest. Now we
ask that DR.. John A. Wheeler be
made the next State Central Com
mitteeman from this district.

CORPORATION INFLUENCE
FUTILE.
Opposition of Illinois Central
Will Increase Vote for
Deneen.

No railroad corporation is powerful
enough to prevent nomination and re-
election of an Illinois governor who
has incurred the corporations enmity
by urging legal steps to ascertain
whether it has paid it's dues to the
state treasury and to enforce the pay
ment of such dues so far as their
evasion may be proven.
Any votes that may be lost to Cover
nor Deneen in August or November
along the lines of the Illinois Central
or elsewhere, because of his respect
for his official oath and his regard
for public interests, will be balanced,
ten times over, by the votes that will
be cast in resentment and rebuke OF
corporate assumption and arrogance.
Thousands who would not otherwise
prefer Deneen to Yates, thousands who
would not otherwise prefer any Repub
Ncan to Democratic nominee, will
stand by the governor whom a tax
hghting corporation seeks to crush
because he does his duty.-Canton

Since the small "big round up

of Chief of Police Morris, and the
utilization with the Yates people of
so many disreputable and irresponsi-
BILE people, the indications point to
big victory for Deneen and Deneen

who are yelling for Yates have caus
ed thousands of voters to come over

one.Fifth Worlds
 Lumber From U. $.

New York, Sept. 15.-Few people have the slightest conception just how important part timber and unman- ufactured wood play in the trade be- tween the worlds great nations, and doubtless it is news to many to learn that the lumber importations of the various countries amount to $2S5,- 600,000. This is according to esti- mates for the whole world compiled by Dr. Ernest Friedrich of the Ger man commercial high school at Leip- zig.
 Notwithstanding the fact that it finds it's own supply dwindling, the United States furnishes about 20 per cent of the lumber imported by other countries. Austria-Hungary furnishes 19 per cent, Russia 16 per cent, Can- ada 13 per cent, Sweden IS per cent, Finland 10 per cent, and Norway and Roumania small quantity.
 The countries importing wood are those on the highest economical plane which were themselves in earlier times densely wooded, but whose eor- ests have been denuded to a greater or less extent to make room for agri- culture and other industries, says Vice Consul James l.. A. Brurell of |Madgeburg in report to this govern ment. Only 4 per cent of the terri tory of Great Britain is covered with forests, and during the year 1906 that country imported lumber to the value ,of $135, 5,561, ,150. Germany has still 26 per cent of it's territory covered hy forests, but imported in 1906 lumber valued at $61 2S5,O00. Belgium and the Netherlands, that have 8 per cent forest lands, Denmark, which has {
 per cent, France and Switzerland with a small percentage, are all com pelled to import lumber.
 Besides these countries, those lands lying on the dry western side of the sub-tropical zone lacking forests are forced to import wood. Egypt inn ports wood and coal to the value of
 about $16,6O0,00O annually; Algeria Tunis, Spain, Portugal (with only 3 per cent forest lands), Italy, Greece
 (with 9 per cent forest land), the eastern part of Asia, British South Africa, the western part of Chile and Peru, the Argentine Republic and Australia, all poor in wood, are de- pendent upon import.
