THE FIGHT is ON.

If Mr.. Allison wins in the contest he
must begin organizing at once, and if
Cummins would win out he must bring
every influence possible to assist him
and do it at once, for the people are
making up their minds pretty rapidly
these winter evenings. If either of
these gentlemen thinks he will win
with hands down he will find shimselt
mistaken, for there is going to be a
fight to finish. We believe Mr.. AL
lison will win in the great contest, but
his friends must get down to business
Mt once, as there is no time to lose.
This contest will involve not only
Senator Dolliver, but all the congress-
men from Iowa will be compelled to line
up on one side or the other. There will
ne no hiding in the tall grass this time
The candidacy of Mr.. Cummins will
cause the nomination of congressman
from every district in the state that
now has one that will not bend the knee
and announce publicly his allegiance tc
Mr.. Cummins and acknowledge that the
Cummins doctrine is the true republi.
canism Of his district. Not only so, but
it will take in members of the general
assembly, and a Cummins man will be
on deck armed and equipped for the
fight of his life. Yes, the fight is on
and the one best equipped by organiza.
tion will win, for, as above stated, it is
going to be a fight to the finish. At.

WATTEQsON IN LINE.

Henry Watterson, of the Louisville
Courier Journal, who has been opposing
Bryan and hoping to secure his defeat
in the democratic national convention,
has concluded to get on the band
wagon. In a recent issue he says:
"It cannot be denied that Mr.. Bryan

clean, typical American, that his follow

TY-THREE YEARS FROM NOW

When the child born yesterday is 8:
years OF age, if he concludes to build a
house, what material shall he use? II
Is estimated that thirty three years
viii practically put lumber out of the
reach of the average home builder. We
are today making annual inroads upon
our forests at the rate of one hundred
billion board f. ct year. The annual
drain upon the American forests
amounts to sixty billion board feet
The highest estimate of the timber
supply Of the country places it at two
Thousand billion feet. Thus, counting
the lowest estimates of annual con-
sumption, the highest estimates of the
annual growth and the highest esti-
mates of present stumpage, the date of
final exhaustion of the timber supply
will come before 1910. Taking the av-
erage estimates of the people most
competent to speak on the subject, that
unpropitious event must come before
1882.
When the son born yesterday in
herits the old farm, fence posts of wood
will long have disappeared. They are
scarce now, so scarce that lumber deal
ers sometimes find it impossible to OBJ
tain them. What is your boy to hang
his fence wires on.
Railroads are shipping wooden ties
from the islands of Hawaii. The At
Gibson, Topeka & Sante Fe Railway
Co, has made arrangements for the
purchase OF ties, not only in the Ha-
vain Islands, but also in Japan. 1t is
stated that ties from Japan will be
made from a certain species Of oak
which compares in lasting qualities
very favorably with the white oak of
this country, which has been considered
the most satisfactory wood for tie pur-
poses. So the Hawaiin forests are be-
ing denuded and ties shipped half
around the world to keep section hands
busy in Kansas.
Here seems chance for "little
easy money" What would 100 acres
OF cheap land planted to post and tie
timber bring the boy born yesterday
when he is 81? How would it be as an in
vestment? Let the man with taste
for figures answer.

1t is natural for people in flush and
prosperous times to spend their money

incomes. 1t is not prudent, but people
will always do SO. Repentance follows

BRYAN LOGICAL CANDIDATE.

We may set it down that William
Jennings Bryan is the logical candidate
OF the Democratic party. No other man
In the nation has the confidence of the
people to the extent that it is pos
sessed by Mr.. Bryan. While it is pos
sible there are other candidates who
would poll good vote in isolated sec
tions of the country, we are confident
there are none who are so we'll known
in the country at large.
Mr.. Bryan is a trimmer, no time-serv-
ing demagogue. On the contrary, he is
a man of firm convictions and honest
purposes, man who will consistently
continue the same policies that have
made the Roosevelt administration
popular. The SYSTEM of course, will
do everything possible to defeat Mr.
Bryan because he can neither be bought
nor deceived, but the SYSTEM we APP
prehend, will not cut any conspicuous
figure in the next democratic conven-
ton.
We admire man who has the cour-
age Of his convictions, who is honest
enough to adhere to those convictions,
regardless of party policy or public
clamor. We regard Mr.. Bryan as such
man. We believe the people generally
have the same opinion of him. Do you
suppose any demagogue who merely adj
vocates certain policy, because he
thinks such policy is popular, would be
able to maintain the hold on the masses
that Mr.. Bryan has today? Just think
for moment of the conditions that ex-
list. Here is man who has been twice
a candidate of great political party
for the highest Office in the gift of the
American people, and although twice
defeated he is the only man whose in
tluence is felt in the party from ocean
to ocean and from the lakes to the gulf,
-Four years ago Mr.. Bryan was not a
candidate. A very capable and genial
gentleman, whose record made him ac-
ceptable to the conservative element of
the party, was nominated. We know
the result. We do not think the demo-
cratic party will care to make another
experiment along that line. We think
it will nominate man who will really
represent the principles of the party as
a whole, and not the views of a small
majority. If there is a man better
known as an exponent of those prin-
ciples than Mr.. Bryan, then we have
not heard of him.
Mr.. Bryan has said, "the national con-
science has already been aroused and a
large majority of the voters educated to
the necessity Of real reform-a reform

ing to be conscience campaign. Who.
ever the republicans nominate will &c
down in the fight for the simple reason
that Williams Jennings Bryan, the next
standard bearer, is the one public mar
in America that stands head and shout

possibility. AS the representative O
