WHY NOT BE FAIR?

The Herald has had no particular oc-
casion to feel friendly toward the Tri-
bune or its editor. but an attack on
Mr.. Nelson and his services on the
school board made by the Republican
justifes comment from a disinterested
source. The Republican derides Mr..
Nelson's record and says that he claims
10 be a colonel when he has no right to
the title.
AS a matter of fact, the board of edu-
cation has never had a more efficient
member than William Nelson, and it
has never had any member who ap-
preached him for faithfulness in at
tendance on its duties. strict impartian-
ty in the consideration of school PROB
lens and intelligent application of
common business sense and strict in
tegrity to its financial administration.
That is no exaggeration; on the con-
trary, IT would be impossible to exag-
gerate the value of the services he rem
dered 10 the community in the days
when the public school system of Salt
Lake was being modernized and the
foundations were laid for it's present
success.
How small the fling at his title Is can
be known when it is understood that
William Nelson has for years had a
standing order in his Office that his
name shall never be used with any title
AN order with which every employee OF
the paper for at least twenty years has
been familiar. He not only does not
claim to be a colonel. but character
istically claims to be one of the few
surviving privates Of the war of the re-
bellion. and prides himself on the fact.
And while this subject is up and is
not likely to be referred 10 again, let
It be recorded that while the Tribune
editor is no Sunny Jim" IN tempera-
ment. he has been known to do good to
his fellow man often and generously,
though with the Scots disposition ne
has never let anybody know of this
kindly streak except when he was
caught in his kindness.
This world Is mean enough and news
papers are uncharitable enough at their
best when discussing each other; but II
ought to be possible for them to be fair
when matters of this sort are under
discussion. Why not try it?
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-11-25
here had been -no game Cor thirty

there had been no game for thirty
days.
That was the fate of Forbes partner,
but the deputy himself still holds a
commission from Sheriff Emery as an
officer of the law which he lefed and
a proper representative of the courts
Of Utah. Why the sheriff persists in
retaining Forbes has not been ex-
planned. The mans own testimony un-
der oath not only convicted him of
participation in the offense, but his
status as a peace officer was prima
facie evidence that he had pro-
tected gambling in his capacity as an
officer when it was his sworn duty TO
prevent gambling and see that Offend
ers were punished.
Less than sixty days ago the sheriff
made parade of purging the criminal
district of Salt Lake. His crusade
against vice was hailed as evidence that
he was earnestly bent on protecting
the public, duty which the police Of
the city had neglected TO discharge.
Docs he want the people of Salt Lake
TO think that he is less earnest about
crime in which his official force is in
terested than he is about crime else
where?
Conditions at Bingham have been
about as bad as they could be. The
race riots and open defiance of the
law have been scandalous to the order
ly element of the community. Assas-
s!nation has been common among the
foreign element, and good men have
lived in terror of their lives. In the
case just closed, some of them were
afraid to testify for fear they would
be killed if they told the truth. The
responsibility for this condition lies
with the sheriff OF Salt Lake county;
and its existence is explained in part
at least by the career of the deputy
who has represented his Office in Bing-
ham.
The relevations of the trial show that
it is time for new deal all around,
an official house-cleaning that will give
Bingham the orderly, honest admins
tration of the law it is entitled TO have
And the first step in that direction is
the removal of Forbes from Office.

PRODUCTION oF-LUMBER.

The department of commerce and la
Dor has reported the lumber cut of the
United States for the year 1907, statis-
tics being based upon returns made by
2S.S50 mills and the figures covering
every lumber producing region in the
country. These mills produced 1885,
154, 900 feet of lumber in 1907, valued at
$685., 641 1861 at the place of production.
In addition there were produced $685.
602. 900 laths. having a value of O,S42,-
7O5, and 1924. 475.OOO shingles, having a
value of $3O,111 1897. which bring the to-
tai reported value of the lumber, lath
and single production in the year
named up to s7O7, O95, 400. The report
adds that the statistics, if absolutely
complete, would probably show the
value of the lumber output TO be $780,
100000. a much larger total than that
indicated for any previous year
Washington ranked first with S,777,-
sos, 600 feet, Louisiana second and Texas
third, the last named state having oc-
cupied eighth place in 1906. There was
a marked decrease in production in the
lake region, due to the exhaustion of the
white pine supply. Utah is reported as
producing 14.690OO0 feet of lumber in
1907. as against 7,76s,OOO in 1906, the
output being almost doubled
Yellow pine constituted 1928 per cent
of the total, Douglas fir second, white
pine third and oak fourth. There are
many species of oak and reports were
received from twenty-seven states. The
total cut was s.71S, 900 feet, valued at
SIS, ,127, or an average value Of s21. %
per thousand feet at the mill, the out
put being much more than has been
generally supposed.
Indiana is the leading state in the
production of walnut lumber with Mis-
souri, second. Walnut is the highest
priced native wood which is cut into
lumber to any considerable extent in
the United States. The production has
been fairly steady for a number of
years, and the price has not increased
relatively as much as that of many
other woods The 1861, 900 feet of wal
nut AtppTltu IN lSUU mad an aN-
erage value of $36.49 per thousand feet
at the mill, and the 4S,174 900 feet re-
ported in 1906 a value of s42.25, while
the average value for 1907 was S43.3I.
Since a considerable amount of the best
walnut timber is exported in the log.
principally to Germany, the reported
lumber production does not represent
the total annual output of walnut in
the United States
The figures given in this pamphlet
are particularly interesting and import
ant at this time. since the subject of
forest preservation has been brought
to the attention of the people of the
country. and also owing to the fact
that an attempt will be made at the
extra session of congress to place lum-
Der upon the free list, the voters in
the prairie states having received
promises to that effect.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING TIME.

Meanwhile, Dearly Beloved, il is well
10 remember that in just a month the
holidays will reach their elimination
and you will want to have your Christ
mas presents in the hands Of those you
love best. Moreover-and this is worth
remembering-thous of employees
IN the stores and shops viii be ready
for their own Christmas. and 1t is for
you to say whether it shall come to
them as something to be regretted or
whether they shall enjoy it as human
beings should. undisturbed by the ne
cessity for fatigue and free to enter
into the spirit of a happy day.
In other words, it is possible for buy
ers of Christmas presents to do their
shopping now and save the clerks and
other employees of the stores the ire
mendous pressure on their strength and
time which usually comes with the
rush Of the last days before Christmas
Entirely apart from the humanity os
forethought for them. it is good Ousi-
ness TO do your shopping early. You
get a better assortment to choose from,
you can take your own time and make
better selections. you save the fret and
worry Of an eleventh-hour scrimmage
in the stores, and you can face the
day itself with good cheer and rested
nerves.
The earlier you do your shopping. the
better it will be for you and everybody
else.

upon the convention their choice of
chairman. The delegates who were oppos-
ed to longer submitting to the dictation of
Dubois of course resented this action and
made fight for their rights.
IL was, from that time on, battle of
strength and not of votes. Coats were pulled
for physical contests. Each side, by force
OF Its numbers, attempted to prevent the
other from proceeding In fact both fac
tlons were attempting to hold convention
at one time and in one hall There was an
absolute refusal on the part of the Dubois
people to allow the voting strength of the
contesting factions TO be measured and the
result is that nothing was settled Each
faction will send delegation to Denver and
claim it to be the regularly elected repre-
sentation of the democracy of Idaho.
The truth-of the matter is that at the
Twin Falls convention there was practical
~ no representation Of democratic party
80 far as can be learned from reports com
ing from there the principles of govern
ment upon which the party is based were
not discussed or even mentioned Dubois
or anti-Dubos was the only issue and only
question before the convention, and even
this was not settled.

CHANCE TO HELP BALL TEAM.

Montpelier should give her base ball
team more liberal support than she has Civ
en- in the past. 1t does not look right when
country cannot turn out team that has as
liberal support as smaller towns in the
country. The people of Montpel:e. should
take pride in their team, for it is one of
the best advei tisements that she cab have.
The people should want their team to
she plays with. The people should want
their bail players to have the best equip
ment and they should furnish the necess-
airy funds to have their best players always
i'll the game.
It is Otter necessary for a good player
in order to be in the game 1t is not right
that the player should have to lose his sal.
airy, when he is playing for the interest of
the town. Tt is not the right spirit either
for the town people to be willing to see his
place filed by poorer player who happens
to be able to get off. Something should be
done to arrrnge for some funds for the team
and have Montpelier favorably known by
her ball team.
Some of the ladies of the town have
taken the matter up now, and are going to
give a big benefit dance next Thursday
night. Every citizen should haye a ticket,
and encourage the ladies who have taken
the matter up, and the ball players who are

M. Mattson has returned to Montpelier
again and taken up the work of organizing
a creamery where he left it off last week.
He says that be has not great deal of time
left to spend here, but is hopeful of com
pleting his work before it is necessary for
him to leave again.
number of people who have taken an
interest in the matter have been at work
during his absence, and the prospects are
more encouraging than when he left There
is not a large amount of money yet to be
raised and Mr.. Mattson is of the opinion
that he will now be able to make the ar
engagements at once.
Mr.. Mattson visited the Twin Falls
country while he was away. He says that
there are two creameries there and that
people are getting thirty cents for their
butter fat while here theyare only getting
fifteen cents.
He is of the opinion that a creamery
here would make as much difference in the
price of butter fat, and that The farmers
would practically double the income from
their product If they had creamery.
