that William J. Bryan is dishonest
and without any fixed principles on
any subject, he made statement un-
worthy Of himself"
This is BryanesQue indeed and the
very kind of lnsinuation and half
truth which marks the public ad-
dresses OF Mr.. Bryan himself and
which is causing thinking men to
doubt the sincerity of the man.
What I said was substantially this,
and your city editor who was pres
ent. and every other gentleman in the
audience, will recall it. THE demo-
cratic candidate is a man Of clean
life and high character. He is NOR
ally and financially honest, but he is
intellectually dishonest. Probably he
does not realize the latter fact, but
the truth remains that he is without
fixed opinions on any subject, and
would be therefore an unsafe execu-
tive"
Certainly this was a very moderate
statmement Of a fact which the II
years OF Mr.. Bryan's presidential can
didacy have brought clearly home to
every considerate man, and called for
no such assumption as your editorial
presents.
Respectfully
STEPHEN a. LOWELL
Judge Lowell is very discriminat-
ing in the use Of language, as is be-
fitting in an orator of his ability.
This fact caused his statement to be
misunderstood. Previously the East
Cregonian knew of but one use for
the word dishonesty and that as
synonym for crookedness. But it ap-
pears Judge Lowell did not mean to
charge this to W. J. Bryan and the
explanation is creditable to the judge.

The Tim Der Situation.

The constantly increasing attention
which is being devoted to the various
problems involved in forestry in Vermont
and other States in New England as well
as elsewhere in the country, is lending
revived interest to the timber situation as
such. People are already beginning to in
quire, for example, where our future
supply of white pine is to be secured.
The position which the United States
has held as lumber-producing nation,
has, perhaps, been due more to white
pine than to any other wood. The timber
of this valuable tree which has played a
most important part in the material
development of the nation is fast dis
appearing and now it is as costly as the
finest American hardwoods.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, the chap.
lain of the Senate, who has always taken
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1908-07-17

an interest in forestry, deplores the passing
of white pine as our foremost wood, and
tells how in his own lifetime he has seen
the day when 1.-THE masts of every vessel
that sailed the Seven Seas were made
from New England grown pine; while
to-day very little white pine is cut in New
England big enough to furnish good
sized SPAR. He tells also, to illustrate the
increasing cost of the wood, that he
ordered set of book shelves on which the
cabinet-maker made price, and then
asked whether they should be of mahoga-
ny or white pine.
The white pine production has shifted
from New England to the lake States,
and Michigan was the leading lumber
producing State for twenty years, from
1870 to 1890, with supremacy based on
white pine. In these two decades the
cut was 100 billions of board feet, valued,
at the point of production, at not less than
two billions of dollars, or nearly half as
much again as the value derived from all
the gold fields of California from their
discovery in the late forties until the
present The rich forests of Michigan
were once thought inexhaustible and
numbering continued in most reckless
manner for years. Suddenly the people
awoke to the fact that the thoughtless
destruction of the trees had thrown
6,000,000 of acres on the delinquent tax
list. These white pine barrens point to
the terrible penalty of wasting the forest
resources which should have been the
heritage of all the future generations.
The best stands of this timber now in
this country are in scattered sections in
Minnesota, New England, and parts of
Idaho. The species in Idaho is some
times called silver pine. Some of the
country's best white pine is found on the
Indian reservations in Minnesota and
Wisconsin and scattered stands are
found in the States of Wyoming, Mon
tana, Colorado and one or two other
States. At the present rate of cutting
the tree will soon be practically thing
of the past. The small stands in the
national forests are inconsderable, but
if they are managed with the greatest
conservatism by the government through
the forest service, and the practice of
reforestation is freely adopted it may be
hoped that the fine old trees will furnish
timber for other Washing
ton Post.

FRIDAY, JULY II. 1908.
Changes in Auto Laws.

Beginning July 10Th the new regula-
tions governing automobiles in Massa
chusetts go into effect, and while there
are no radical changes there are few
which should be carefully noted by mo-
florists. The power of the state highway
commissioner has been increased materi-
ally, and two new punishable offences
have been added to the list. The most
important change in the power conferr-
ed on the state highway commission is
in the provisions which constitute the
commission an investigation committee
in case of accidents. The commission
may summon witnesses, administer
oaths and take testimony, so that it is to
all intents and purposes a court. If
death results from an accident the COM
mission is forced by the new law to sus-
pend the license of the operator and
must also revoke it, unless a hearing
shall determine the fact that the opera
tor was not seriously at fault. A revok.
ed license cannot be renewed for at least
OLA LlOutDS.
Tourists from other states are also
mentioned in the new law. A non-resi-
dent tourist, who has complied with the
laws of his own state, may drive in Mas.
sachusetts for seven days without taking
out Massachusetts registration. 1t is
required, however, that he do the driv-
ing of his own.car, as the law does moi
provide for the operation of a car by g
chauffeur Another interesting part OF
the new law is that which contains the
law of the road, which reads, "when
ever on any bridge or way, public OF
private, there is not an unobstructeC
view of the road for at least hundred
yards, the driver of every vehicle shall
keep his vehicle on the right of the mid
die of the travelled part of the bridge o.
wayIwhenever it is safe or practicable t.
do So" The legislature has also paseeC
law calling for the codifcation of tn,
laws of the highway commission, anC
the commission will report on this il

MOTOR BOAT BLOWS UP
Four Prominent Men Lose Their
Lives by Gasolene Explosion

By the explosion of a gasolene tank
In the forty-fvefoot motor launch
Dolphin Saturday night. four prominent
summer residents of Marion and Fal-
mouth, Mass, were lost. Two others
were picked up in the water Sunday
morning, after battling with the waves
for twelve hours after the boat had
blown up.
Nearly all those concerned in the
catastrophe are prominent in the social
and financial world of Boston. Those
either killed or drowned are Roland
WorthingtOn, one of the most promi-
nent clubmen and real estate opera
tors of Boston; John T. Trull of Wo-
burn, retired business man; Joseph s.
Beal, engaged in the Sears building at
Boston, and George Savory of Marble
head.
The two picked up in the water and
saved are A. Z. Tarbell of Boston, re-
tired business man, and Edward E.
Pecker of Boston, member of the Bos-
ton banking firm of Z. II. Rollins &
Son.
The explosion, the cause of which
will probably never be definitely
known, came with absolutely no warn
ing, and the Dolphin was soon en-
veloped in flames and finally disap-
peared in a puff of smoke. At the time
Of the accident the yacht was on its
way from Marion toward Woods Hole
and Marthas Vineyard.
