take their horses any further than the

snow decided to make the trip to the
mine by foot, and Mr.. Woodward said
he was well paid for his trip in finding
the dolimite lime, manganese and hum

all other large mining camps. He said

of excellent habits and ever true to
his party and his fellowman. His
strong and pleasant personality is Of
that peculiar type THAT impresses one
of his firm decisive nature which
should be the ruling Characteristic in
selecting Legislative timber.
Being born in Lincoln district and
always having lived there. impresses

Is this the kind OF a ticket Repub.

wHAr FORESTRY HAS DONE.

Many people in this country think
that forestry had never been tried
until the government began to practice
it upon the National Forests. Yet for
estry is practiced by every civilized
country in the world except China or
Turkey. It gets results which can be
got in no other way, and which are
necessary to the general welfare.
What forestry has done abroad is
the strongest proof OF what 1t can ar'
complish here. The remarkable sue
cess of forest management in the civ,
ilized countries OF Europe and Asia
is the most forcible argument which
can be brought in support OF wise for
est use in the United States.
The more advanced and progressive
countries arrive first and go farthest
in forestry, as they do in other things.
Indeed, we might almost take forestry
as yardstick with which to measure
the height of u civilization. On the
one hand, the nations which follow
forestry most widely and systematical'
~ would be fonnd to be the most en-
lightened nations. On the other hand
when We applied our yardstick to such
countries as are without forestry We
could say with good deal of assur
ance, by this test alone, Here is q
back ward nation"
The countries OF Europe and Asia
taken together. have passed through
all the stages of forest history and ap'
piled all the known principles OF fores'
try. They are rich in forest expert
ence. The lessons OF forestry were
brought home TO them by hard knocks
Their forest systems were built up
gradually rs the result OF hardship
They did not first spin fine theories
and then apply those theories by main
force. on the contrary, they began by
facing dlsagreeable facts Every ster
of the way toward wise forest use, the
world over, has been made at the
sharp OF want. suffering or loss AS
a result, the science of forestry is one

Charleston elected a full Democratic
ticket last year under the guise of n
reform ticket with pledges to reduce
the operating expenses Of the city.
But did they reduce the expenses? No.
dear reader, the figures tell quite a
different tale; they did not reduce 1t
but almost doubled It. We give you
the figures as furnished us by the
Charleston Mail. showing the salary
expense under Republican government
for January, 1907. as compared with
the Democratic salaries paid to city
officials in January. 1908:

Gals salaries .............S 5SS.32
January, 1908. Democratic Of
