ANTI-BRYAN "FAIRNEss.' ;
, ++*+++++*++++ : = 4

The New York Times is one of The
Herald's most valued contempor-
aries. Generally speaking, it is
clean. ably edited, truthful news
paper. But the Times 'sees red"
whenever the name of William Jen-
nings Bryan is mentioned Still it
would have the public believe that it
is fair to Mr.. Bryan. The Times
itself says SO. Therefore. it must be
true. In a recent issue of the Times
We find this:
"An esteemed correspondent who
says he has been a close reader of
the Times for many years, complains
that We have never been fair to Mr.
Bryan, and never will be fair to a
man of Mr.. Bryan's independence.
On the contrary, the Times has al
ways been fair to Mr.. Bryan. Our
correspondent misjudgment of. the
case arises, probably, from his point
of view"
To ascertain whether or not the
Times is fair to Mr.. Bryan, it is not
necessary to look further than the
editorial from which the above quo
tation was made. Within the next
few paragraphs the Times says that
Mr.. Bryan is probably the most con-
spicuous example now before the
hhSiA ASbA peoplt Ol COnnerCldl1Sm
in politics" Is this a fair statement
of the case? Is Mr.. Bryan SO much
to blame because, since he was nomi-
mated for the presidency at Chiacgo
he has accumulated a comfortable
fortune? If he had not been an able
man, could he have retained his lead
ership? Could he have made money? :?
But the Times continues:
He tBryan) is SO empty, shallow,
and void of ideas that he spends
much of his time in approving, ap-
plauding. and repeating what Mr..
Roosevelt says. 1t is idiotic to sup
pose that the Democrats can advance
to victory under leader who is but
copy and echo of the other party's
much more capable leader. In such
condition an opposition party is
obviously superfluous."
We confess a curiosity regarding
the Times definition of unfairness
if this is its idea of fairness. Mr..
Bryan was in public life when Presi-
dent Roosevelt was police commits
sioner in New York City. He was
advocating control and regulation of
the criminal combinations and mon
opOlieS when Roosevelt was a mem
Der of the civil service commission.
He had spoken in favor of more eff
fective railway rate laws before
Roosevelt became assistant secretary
to the navy. There is not, in fact,
single popular policy undertaken
by President Roosevelt that was not
first outlined by Mr.. Bryan.
Roosevelt has been the echo,
Bryan the originator, and for any
man or any newspaper to say that
the contrary is the case is for that
man or that newspaper to state a
gratuitous, unmitigated and unpard-
enable falsehood.-SaltL Lake Herald.

1t Is likely that no numbering op-
Grafton of recent years more strong
ly illustrates the pinch in the timber
supply in all parts of the world. In
the news of the concession, told in
an American lumber journal, is the
suggestion of the difficulty that all
countries may have to encounter in
getting the wood which they need in
the future. Every year timber cruis-
ers are going further and further
afield and cutting trees which, in
former times of abundance, they
passed because of the inaccessibility
of the forest.
In taking out the Siberian timber
the Melbourne lumbermen will have
to ship the entire years cut in Ju-
ly, August, September and October.
for during the remainder of the year
there is no open water at the point
or Shipment.
What makes this unusual feature
OF transporting bulky logs 5000
miles quite feasible is that such IN
manufactured stock is admitted free
while there Is a heavy duty on all
manufactured wood brought into
Australia, the duty ON lumber. for
Instance. being nearly $5 a thousand
feet. AT Melbourne a new mill is
being erected to manufacture these
logs into dressed stock, such as
flooring, ceiling and other products,
as well as into lumber.
These Siberian operations differ
from the numbering methods in the
United States. In this country it is
possible and customary to have new
mills conveniently near the place of
production, though, with the contin-
ually decreasing supply, the larger
mills often find it profitable to haul
their timber by trans and railroads
many miles away from their saws.
Forest experts in this country say
that the hope of the United States
for a steady supply of timber lies
in the application of forestry to all
timberlands, private and public, and
the careful study of the economical
and better utilization of the product
Even SO, a severe shortage in 20 to
25 years must be expected.
