THE ELECTION RESULT.
The People Rule!
G<ansas City Journal. }

NNdHSftS lily JOuffldI)
Republican principles have received
triumphant vindication at the hands
of the American people. Almost be
yOnd the most enthusiastic hope Of
the leaders Of the party the voters
have sgnified their sanity and their
earnest faith in the sound doctrines
that have brought to this country an
era of prosperity never before equaled
1t is Il victory so decisive, so over
whelning and the judgment of the
voters was so spontaneous as to leave
not the slightest doubt that Organism
and all the Specious fallacies that it
stands for are forever repudiated.
One noticeable feature of the re-
turns was the support given Mr.. Taft
by the labor vote. Not only did Com
pers fail to deliver the votes of the
American workingmen, but his at
tempt probably lost Bryan the support
of thousands Of the members of on
ganiZed labor who declined to allow
any man to barter away their suffrage
In the great labor centers like Chicago
the labor support Of Taft was most
noticeable
At late hour last night there was
no perceptible change in the trend of
the returns. Hughes race in New
York was magnificent demonstration
of the awakening Of the better element
of the people in that state. The bitter
fight on him brought out a reserve
force that must be strongly reused by
appeals to the public conscience. The
activity of this same element no doubt
largely accounts for the unprecedent
edly heavy polling all over the land
The people We're aroused, and they
have buried Bryansm beneath tidal
wave from which he will probably
never again emerge.

A Modern Pearl Farm,


In the Gulf of Lower California there
is in operation the largest pearl farm
in the world where the cultivation of
pearls has been taken up as practical
industry. To harvest the annual crop
Of pearls raised on this farm requires
the labor of 1000 people, including the
modern pearl divers, whose methods
have been completely revolutioniZed
BY the up-to-date appliances employed
in this new industry. Pearl farming,
as originated by the Mexican company
which owns the big Lower California
farm. is the result of the discovery of
a very simple fact concerning pearl
bearing mollusks. After twenty five
years of study and experiment it was
discovered that the shell losses its gem
after it is two years old, and. unless
opened at the proper time, there Will
be no pearl within. Following this
discovery the system whereby the
shells are cultivated until the proper
time and then opened was devised.
From the time of planting the eggs to
the harvesting of the crop two years
must elapSe, as that length of time is
required for the growth of an ordinary
shell
The eggs, which are gathered with
the shells during the season when the
eggs are being deposited, are placed in
protective cages. in the bottom Of
which are little artificial channels,
made to initiate the bottom of the sea.
The utmost care is taken to protect
the young moluslls from their natural
enemies. When they have arrived at
the proper age they are transferred to
larger cages, also designed to protect
them. During the transferring the
stock is carefully inspected and all the
dead or nOnbearing shells are
thrown out. The second cages are
placed in deeper water and in them the
shells are left to develop for two years.
when the harvest of pearls is ready to
be gathered. The divers descend into
the cages with little risk.
On the model Lower California farm
it has been demonstrated that it is
possible to open gently the valves of
the shell with pair of tweeZers to dis
close the presence or absence of the
pearl and to return the mollusk to the
water alive and uninjured. The usual
method under the old system in ad-
ditiOn to being most uncertain is un-
necessarily destructive. In the search
for pearls great quantities of shells are
pried open, an operation that is GER
tain death to the mollusk within. At
the Australian pearl fisheries one gem
to the bushel of shells is considered a
good catch. Many pearl fishermen
crush the shells in their eagerness,
thus destroying the value of, even the
shell. The Oriental races open the
shells by piling them in the sun to dry
and decay Chicago News.

Taft and Good Times.
'Chica go RecOrd-Herald.)

(ChlcaGO RecOrd-H II erald.)
President Elect Taft has been hailed
as another advance agent of prosperity
even before the returns are all in. Men
OF large business affars-experts who
can feel the pulse of industrial life and
whose training enables them to judge
of the futurc-unite in the opinion
that an immediate result of the cleo
ton will be revival in all lines of
trade.
Optimistic expressions from such
sources are not only significant OF a
tendency working more or less
automatically toward the establish
ment of prosperity upon it's firm,
normal basis. but individually and
collectively they scarcely can fail to
effect the widespread confidence which
will shorten the period of industrial
convalescence. The business worlds s
views, quoted between the columns Of
figures from the ballot boxes on the
day following the voting, are as i'm
portant as any feature of news con-
nected with the national election Of
1908
An almost instant acceleration in the
throbbing pulse of trade may be eN-
pectad in the execution of contracts
which had been made contingent upon
the election of Mr.. Taft To some eX-
tent the outcome was anticipated by
the placing of contracts for great
works of railroad Improvement on the
eve of the election. so confident We're
those directly concerned Herewith OF
the verdict which the electorate would
render at the polls. But it is not alone
works that stand out by reason of
their magnitude that sgnalize the
general feeling. Contracts pertaining
to the ordinary channels of trade,
small each by itself, but in the aggre
gate far reaching. will set the wheels
in motion and make money circulate,
to the mutual advantage Of all classes
of workers.
\ logical deduction from the results
OF the balloting, especially in the
vitally important doubtful states, is
that independent business men,
salaried men and laborers who work
for day wages united in sufficient
numbers on this issue of establishing
confidence to turn the tide against
many agencies tending to throw the
election the other way. The enjoy
ment of prosperity is the monopoly of
no class There is reason to hope that
the election result just accomplished
will carry a powerful lesson on the
foolishneSs-to use mild Word-of
attempting to array class against class
in American politics.

methods which are now practiced.
The field for work along this line
is broad. 1t is well known that the
superior grades of lumber are obtain
ed from old mature trees; provided
they are not weakened by decay or
other influences. In other words, a
thousand feet board measure of lum
ber from tree in diameter, costs less
and is worth more than thousand
feet sawed from a tree only eight
inches in diameter. Moreover, timber
cut from young trees usually contains
a large amount of sapwood. If ties,
poles, etc. are cut from such mater
ial. they will decay far more rapidly
than If cut from heartwood. 1t is
not good business policy, however, in
a great many cases to saw the most
valuable timber into commodities
which are relatively low in cost, such
as ties and poles. 1t is the intention
therefore, of the company to find out
just what size and classes of timber
can be best utilized for the cheaper
commodities when given preserva-
tive treatment.
To this end a careful study will be
made to ascertain the amount and
value of the products sawed from
trees of different sizes and just how
each can be best utilized so as to Sc
cure greatest economy and profit. For
example, can a tree eight inches in
diameter be best utilized for ties or
for flooring, and how will the profits
compare If treated with those sold
untreated? 1t seems reasonable to
suppose that the profits derived from
the sale of treated timber will exceed
those from untreated timber.
Moreover. the greater use of chem
ically preserved wood will undoubted-
ly result in that wood giving a great
er life in service. Hence, the amount
of timber cut annually in the United
States, simply to replace that which
has decayed, will be materially de-
creased, and further conservation
of forest resources will result. Re
cent estimates by the Forest Service
place this reduction at 10 per cent
of the total timber cut. The prac-
tical benefits of these experiments
and of the investigations for the util-
ization of sawmill waste are at once
apparent.

The future development of the
lumber industry in this country lies
in the direction of closer utilization
of forest products. Both foresters

er can get fair idea of this quantity
of lumber when he is told that its
output is enough to build a little
town of 10 houses. along with a good
sized church and a school house every
day.
This company was quick to grasp
the significance of the rapid deple-
tion of timber resources. Last year
it began cooperative investigation
in wood utilization with the United
States Forest Service and arrange
ments have just been completed for
a renewal of the experiments. The
work will be along practical lines
and will be aimed to secure a closer
utilization of the products of the
