vastly greater and more rapid rise
which is 70 come. We must neces-
sarily begin to suffer from the scar
city Of timber long before our sup
piles are completely exhausted. Ii
is Wen to remember that there is NO
foreign source from which We can
draw cheap and abundant supplies Of
timber to meet demand per capita
so large as to be without parallel On
the world, and that the suffering
which win result from the progress
sive failure Of our timber was but
family foreshadowed by the recent
temporary scarcity OF coal.
What will happen when the for
ests fail? In the first place, the
business of numbering win disappear

in the United States. All forms of
building industries win suffer with
It, and the occupants of houses, Of
fees. and stores must pay the added
cost. Mining will become vastly
more expensive; and with the rise in
the cost of mining there must follow
corresponding rise in the price of
coal, iron, and other minerals. The
railways, which have as yea failed
entirely to develop a satisfactory
substitute for the wooden tie land
must, in the opinion of their best
engineers, continue to fail), will be
profoundly affected, and the cost Of
transportation will suffer a CORE
spending increase. Water power for
lighting, manufacturing, and trans
portation, and the movement of
freight and passengers by inland
waterways, will be affected still more
directly that the steam railways. The
cultivation of the soil, with or with
out irrigation, will be hampered by
the increased cost of agricultural
tools, fencing, and the wood needed
for other purposes about a farm.
Irrigated agriculture will suffer
most of all, for the destruction of the
forests means the loss of the waters
as surely as night follows day. With
the rise in the cost of producing
food, the cost of food itself will rise.
Commerce in general will necessarily
be affected by the difficulties of the
primary industries upon which 1t de-
ponds. In word, when the forests
fail, the daily life of the average citi-
zen will inevitably feel the pinch on
every side. And the forests have
already begun to fail, rs the direct
result of the suicidal policy Of forest
destruction which the people Of the
United States have allowed them
selves to pursue.
1t is true that about twenty per
cent of the less valuable timber land
in the United States remains in the
possession of the people in the Ma
tional Forests, and that it is being
cared for and conserved to supply. the
needs, of the present and to mitigate
the suffering of the near future. But
1t needs no argument to prove that
this comparatively small area will be
insufficient to meet the demand which
is now exhausting an area four times
as great, or to prevent the suffering
herein described. Measures of great
er vigor are imperatively required.

FRIDAY. JANUARY 81. 1905.
Reed is Popular.

The Charleston Mail along with a
splendid likeness of Stuart F. Reed
has the following highly compliment
tary but well deserved mention OF
him:
Hon. Stuart F. Reed, of clarks-
burg. candidate for the Republican
nomination for secretary of state, is
here to see the legislature begin and
incidentally to look after political in.
terests. Mr.. Reed was formerly
senator from his district, and is well
known all over the state.
To representative of the Mall,
Mr.. Reed stated that he is well pleas
ed with the political outlook and be-
lieves that he will be successful in
the race. He will have the solid
backing of Harrison and adjoining
counties, which give him a good
start in the fight. He IS we'll quail
fed for the position, and his nomi-
nation would mean ar strong addition
to the state ticket.
Mr.. Reed is a political fighter, and
as an orator he has few equals. His
speech at the meeting of the Univer-
sity club at Pittsburg recently was
widely copied over the state and was
a masterpiece. Local people well re.
member, when in 1895 Senator Reed
made the speech in the joint assem-
bly, of the legislature nominating
Hon. Stephen B. Elkins for the Unit
ed States senate. In closing that
speech. which named the first Re
publican senator in many years, Mr..
Reed said: I'm conclusion, Mr..
President, let me say that the man l
shall name and whom 1t will be the
pleasure of the majority to elect to-
day, will faithfully represent West
Virginia's interests and use his in
fuence to secure laws that Will best
promote the development of her won
derful natural resources. Under
such laws we may hope soon to see
our beautiful state occupying her
rightful place IN the glittering con
stellation of American common
wealths and participating in that
marvellous prosperity that was not
long ago the wonder of the world"
The public knows how we'll that
prediction was carried out. At that
time the Mail, referring to the speech,
said: Senator Stuart f. Reed, of
Harrison, named Mr.. Elkins in a
speech which was a gem of oratory
and a matchless clustering of delight
ful word painting. No speech has
ever been heard in the hall of the
house of delegates of more genuine
merit, than that of Senator Reed in
naming the choice of the Repub-
Leans"
This same flow of eloquence is
found in all of Mr.. Reeds speeches,
Mr.. Reed is especially strong with
the newspaper men of the state, he
having been editor of the Clarksburg
Telegram for a number of years. and
it was during his service as president
that the West Virginia Editorial AS
ISOLATION reached height never be-
fore or since attained by that body.

Are you willing to make small
sacrifice for the sake of a great prin-
ciple?
Of course you are.
Not only willing, but anxious.
Now is the time!
Our campaign is almost at the
close, hundreds of dollars are need
ed to send out literature and speak
ers, and our Committee is out OF
funds.
They know the reason as well as
YOU could tell them. They realize
that the panic of last fall hit us all
a hard blow; that the cotton we have
made is yet unsold and the price
proclematical; and that another win
ter will soon be here with all its de-
mands upon every householder.
Nevertheless-we are fighting for
our lives now, against repetition OF
such panics; for prices which will
not be predetermined, for fair liv-
ing and square deal for all.
If you don't register your protest
against the evils which beset us
your children will never rise above
the condition of the starving thous-
ands during the panic.
In every other country on the
globe where the radicals have regis
tered their protest, it has been heed
ed. It will be needed by our govern
ment today.
Help us to rouse our neighbors,
who are only lukewarm, to real en-
thusiasm. Give us whatever talent
you have.
There is something each one can
do. If you can speak, talk to the
people. If you can write, send let
tiers to us and to your friends. 1t
you can send some money, do so at

After some eleven years at the helm,
Roosevelt is worried over daily
deficit in the treasury Of 100000.
Singular that with all his "corking
time" he could not have stopped up
some Of the leaks. A large part Of
this enormous government expendi-
ture is raked in by the railroads for
carrying mail. How can he expect
his, or any other, administration that
is standing pat against the govern
ment ownership of railroads; against
an inheritance or an income tax
against any and every provision for
economical and equitable expendi-
lures and receipts to do anything but
pile up a mountain Of woeful extrav-
agance that will result in q landslide

Three or four important witnesses
In the Hams murder case have been
transferred to points outside the jul
risdiction Of the New York, where
the trial is to be had, which looks
very peculiar to District Attorney
Darrin, who claims that they are es-
sential in proving the State s conten-
ton that the murder of Annis was

In the monthly report of the re-

1t is about time to call a halt. The
red man has been and is basely used,
in multitude of instances, but where
the justice lies in a government grant
for every pappoose that chances to be
added to the swarm of some anti
race suicide Creek, Cherokee or other
copper-skinned family, while thous-
ands of our own children are starv-
ing in the cities, going hungry to
school, shaving their tiny lives away
in mills and mines, familiar to the
coarsest uses Of the slums, is beyond
comprehension. The lineal descend
ants Of Great-Pie-Face might, but for
the intervention of contrite govern
ment, be in the sorry case Of having
to grow up to make his own living
which would be terrible. But the
small Caucasian, who is the victim of
every sort of ancestral injustice, is
left to fight his battles as best he
can-which means that Infant Nor
tality scoops him in early, or he sur
wives to be buffeted by every adverse
fate. There is always Northern phil
anthropy for the pickanninies and
grants for the Indian child and there
is provision for the old soldier, hos
pitfalls for the sick-but God help the
orphaned babe or the unfortunate
child of the submerged tenth.
