WHO PAYS THE BILLS 2
Secretary Taft's Campaign is BEING
Financed by His Wealthy Brother.

Washington Cor. Brooklyn Eagle.)
The salary roll Of the Taft politi-
cal workers Is rolling up at a rapid
rate and must be proving big drain
on the Taft bar'i. With the opening
of headquarters for the Secretary Of
War in this city on Monday, six or
seven additional workers will begin
to draw salaries from the Taft back
ers, and it Is the understanding that
branch headquarters will be opened
in New York soon. In addition, there
are lot OF agents, nobody knows
how many, who are constantly trav-}
cling over the country feeling the
public pulse and shaping the drift
of sentiment toward Taft.
IT Is tho understanding of Washing
ton politicians that Brother Charles
Taft is footing all the expenses of the
campaign which his half-brother is
making for the Presidency. Charles
p. Taft Is abundantly able to carry
this big financial load, his wealth
being variously estimated at between
$20,000,000 and $40,000,000. 1t is
undt rstood he has no hankering to
shine in public affairs, and that nei-
ther an appointment to the Court of
st. James nor to Cabinet portfolio
will have the slightest attraction for
him. He has an ambition, however,
which Is that it shall be said that
William Howard Taft was elected to
the Presidency without penny of
cost to anybody, save his wealthy
half-hrother, Charles p. Taft.

GREATEST LUMBER OUT.
Figures Showing the Enormous Lum-
ber Output of the U. S.

More lumber was cut In the United
States last year than in any otter
year In its history. The enormous
amount of 37,550,736 board feet vas
produced, and the mill value Of this
WAS $621, ,151,3SS. In addition,
there were produced II, 1000
shingles, valued at $24,155,555, and
3,S12,SO7 900 lath, valued at SILL
49O,570. On the whole, 1t is safe
to say that the present annual lum-
ber cut of the United States approXi-
mates 40 billion feet. and that the
total mill value of the lumber, lath
and shingles each year produced is
not less than $70O,0O0,000. These
figures give some idea Of how vast
Is the lumber industry and how great
is the demand for it's products.
glance at the kinds of lumber
produced shows very clearly the
passing OF white pine and oak, one
the greatest softwood and the other
the greatest hardwood which the for
est has ever grown. Since 1899 the
cut Of white pine has fallen off more
than 40 per cent, while that of white
oak has fallen off more than SO per
cent. To-day yellow pine leads all
other woods in amount cut, while
Douglas fir-and this will be a sur
prise to many-comes second. Since
1899 the cut Of Douglas fir has in
creased 1SG per cent. Louisiana Is
the foremost yellow pine State, with
Texas, mississippi and .Ark2nsas fol-
lowing In order. Washington pro-
duces by far the greatest amount Of
Douglas fir.
A comparison of the lumLer-Ero.
ducing States shows that since 1899
there have been many changes in
their relative rank. Washington,
which in 1899 stood sixth, now leads,
while Wisconsin, which eight years
ago led all others, Is now third. In
the same period Oregon, Louisiana,
Mississippi Idaho and California
made great strides as lumber prodnc-
ing States, though. on the other
hand, the amount produced in Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, IN
diana, and Ohio fell off anywhere
from 20 to 54 per cent.
The highest-Driced native woods
are walnut, hickory and ash, and the
cheapest are larch and white fir.
From the fact, however, that since
1899 the average increase in the
price Of lumber has been 40 per cent,
1t will not be long before cheap
woods are few and far between.

the United States in 1906 are con-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
enfiamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to It's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out or ten are caus-
ed by catarrh which Is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir

did selection In their new secretary

comparatively few members who do
not know him, we wish to state that
he Is not only highly educated

sition to the one he now occupies,
and has always come out Of those

Going at 1t Right.

Some Of our States are going into
the union business like men that
want to do something. Washington
State charges $5 initiation fee and
as much dues or more. and some of
the Tennessee and Kentucky pindar
unions charge from two to four dol
lars per month in the busy season
and 1t pays them to do 1t.
How about the cotton farmer, who
gets from s5 to $40 more per bale
for his cotton on account Of farmers
organizations, and then refuse to
join the Farmers Union on account
Of having to pay 81 fee? Some men
can't dodge the tax on their con-
science, which Is more than 81.

Bond Holder or Plow Holder?


If the bond holder Is knocked out
of business,
And the plow holder in bushes
remains,
Peace and plenty may still spread
over the land,
And happiness to mankind be re-
tanned.
But knock the plow holder out of
the ring,
Then no one will feel like they
wanted to sing.
If 1t is a fact that our agricultu-
raj interests are SYMBOLIC of the roots
Of great tree of the forest, and all
other industries Of our country are
but branches of this tree, and are
fed by the soil through its roots,
then in order to stimulate growth
Of leaf, branch and trunk Of our
tree, we must apply fertility and cul-
ture to it's roots.
Our lesson here is, when the gov
ernment lends aid to the large banks
and refuses to aid the cotton and
grain warehouses of the farmer, it
is like applying guano to the branches
Of tree to make it bear fruit

DOES SEAT BRING ssssgoRTuNEfss
Those Who Occupied It Have Been
Dogged by Unhappy Fates.
(zach McGee, in The STATE. }

(Iacn McGee, In Ine state
1t has I sen suggested here that
one reason why there are not more
candidates for the vacant seat in the
Senate which Senator Latimer occu-
pied is because of the long contin-
ued series of misfortunes end griefs
connected with this seat. 10 the SUI
perstitiously inclined indeed there is
reason to hesitate. f5'Eg
This is the seat held by the great
Hampton. Long will it be remem-
bered how that sorrow was brought
to his old age by the ingratitude Of
his State in turning him out of office
after such career of patriotic devo-
tion to his State. 1t Is unquestion-
ably true that this fastened him to
his grave. Hampton was succeeded
by that most typical representative
of the strange spell which had come
over the State, John Lowndes Man
ming 1rby. Irby served out his term
of office, but within short time af-
ter he retired to private life he was
called to another world.
Joseph H. Earle, who succeeded
Irby, was Senator just one month
and 16 days. He took his seat on
March the 4th, 1897, and died May
20 of the same year.
And then came the vagarious John
J.. McLaurin, Little Curly Headed
Johnpie." Cast into utter darkness
with millstone about his neck, it
were better for that man that he had
not been born, at least politically.
The lamepted Latimer succeeded
to the ill-fated seat not quite five
years ago, and now he has been gath
cred to his fathers.
In this connection it is worthy of
note that Senator Tillman Is perhaps
the first senator In the history Of the
Senate who has attended the funeral
Of two of his colleagues, Earle and
L,.imer. During Senator Tillman's
two and half terms in the Senate
| also two ex-Senators have died
Hampton and Irby.
