statement of the progressive destruc.
ton of our timber supply, and the
corresponding scarcity of lumber,
will come with all the convincing
power of doctors bill to a con-
vaescent.
The consumption per capita in the
United States, he says, has risen to
four hundred board-feet year against
an average of sixty feet in Europe,
and the timber cut since 1880 would
make a floor one inch thick over the
States of Vermont, Massachusetts,.

The price of it, at current quota

No one seems to have any remedy.
but we have heard the opinion haz-

the tariff, which penalties Canada's
immense timber supply and puts a
premium of two dollars thousand
feet on the cutting of native trees,
does not materially improve the sit.

control of municipal affairs in Mt
Pleasant. Take up the question of
side walks and make it the hobby of
your administration. Make sidewalks
your hobby and ride it to a finish
Parenthetically speaking, it is entire
ly fit and proper that every man and
every company or corporation or set
of men have hobby, and when they
do have one it is just as fit and pro-
per that they ride it-ride it often and
hard. The greatest municipal need

ANOTHER DRAMATIC FAILURE

We rather dislike to record an

before. But we must report the

called, although, VIGOROUSLY, its par
cntage is often involved in doubt.
invaded the preserves of trust in
vaudeville, and the vaudeville trus,
retaliated by going into the "legiti
mate"
This naturally reminded us of the
celebrated and most enlivening con-
fict that ensued when the cigarette
trust took to making plug tobacco
and the plug tobacco trust began the
manufacture of cigarettes. Noise of
that titan conflict reverberated thru
the press for many day. For only
penny the pleased customer could
fill his countenance with luscious
Jupiter plug, or the ambient air with
fumes of Juno cigarettes.
We looked for something as in
spring and profitable from the thea,-
rical war; but the dramatic trusts
seem to find it difficult to be truly
dramatic even in their scraps. The
war, we hear, has tamely petered
out.-The Post.

The militant democracy. and that means

Brown Just Weary.

The truth of the whole matter is that
Coy. Brown has become weary of the
whole political game. He has just come
to realization of the fact that he has
been used for the past four years to pull
chestnuts out of the fire for other big
chiefs. to put up winning tickets. finance
campaigns and then get the merry ha-ha
when the plumtree is shaken.
In word, Frank Brown is awake. and
he's off the job in the present campaign,
and is not likely to mix up in the game
again. at least during the present regime.
The heart of Brown is not filled to over
flowing with love for Senator Smith, the
stat boss, nor for Sonny MahOn the
city boss. He worked for them last fall
and in return has received only upper
cuts, short-arm iabs. and barely escaped a
solar plexus. Brown has plainly shown
that he has rod in pickle for Mahon
because he recently beheaded two Mahon
men in the city tax collectors office. over
which ne presides when not in Europe or
in New York.
Brown today deeply regrets his alliance
with John Walter Smith in the senatorial
primaries last fall and it is safe to assert
that if the condition presented again he
would be found on the side with Edwin
Warfed. Had Brown supported War
field in the senatorial fight he would to-
day be the easy boss of Baltimore town
