1t Looks like Taft.

President Roosevelt is man of
positive convictions, and no less
positive assertions. He generally
knows where he is at,,sand never
hesitates to say what he thinks.
That Theodore Roosevelt is brave
and dauntless nearly every man and
woman-who has had the temerity
to attack or resist his logic-has
found out to his positive and per-
manent discontinue. He is abso-
lutely unafraid. We are accustomed
to accord admiration to a man who
fearlessly assumes a lofty attitude
on great questions in controversy,
to commend his courage, and give
him cordial support. Courage in
spires courage. A disposition 20
fight, to resist attack, TO stand with
bold front against attack wins adj
herents, supporters.
1t might have been definitely un-
derstood on the night of the presi-
Dental election Nov, 8, 1904, when
President Roosevelt announced that
he would never thereafter be can
didate for President, that he meant
just what he said and would stand
by that statement.
But the people would not accept
the Presidents declination because
they did not wish to. There has
been a general, deep-seated feeling,
that the political situation demands
a forceful, aggressive, and wise
man at the head of this government
for the next presidential term;
man who can be trusted. The peo-
pie know, they have the positive as
surance, that Theodore Roosevelt is
that man. So strong has been this
sentiment, SO pervasive has been

WOOD FOR PAPER COSTS
TWENTY=SIX MILLIONS
The Pub Usher Pays More For
His Stock Than He Did
Last Year.

To-day there is general complaint
among publishers that printing
paper is constantly growing dearer
In the Middle West many local pa.
pers are raising their subscription
price so per cent in order to pay for
the paper. From the time when
Gutenberg first used movable type,
made of wood, to the present day OF
metropolitan papers, some of which
consume the product of acres OF
spruce in single edition, printing
has in very large degree depended
upon the forest.
In the face of threatened short
age of timber, the amount of wood
consumed each year for pulp has in
creased since 1899 from million to
81 million cords. The year 1906
marked an increase of $4,000 cords
in the imports of pu1pwood, the
highest average value per cord for
all kinds, and a consumption greater
by 468,053 cords than that of any
previous year.
Spruce, the wood from which in
1899 three-fourths of the pulp was
manufactured, is still the leading
wood, but it now produces a little
less than 70 per cent of the total.
How we'll spruce is suited to the
manufacture of pulp is shown by
the fact that during a period in
which the total quantity of wood
used has doubled and many new
woods have been introduced, the
proportion of spruce pulpwood has
remained nearly constant in spite of
the drains upon the spruce forests
for other purposes. During this
time three different woods, from
widely separated regions, have in
turn held the rank of leader in the
lumber supply.
Since 1899, poplar, which for years
was used in connection with spruce
to the exclusion of all other paper
woods, has increased in total quanti-
ty less than 100000 cords, and is
now outranked by hemlock. Pine,
baisar1l, ard cotton wood are used iii
much smaller amounts.
The average cost of pulp delivered
at the mill was $7.21. The total
value of the wood consumed in 1906
was $26,4O0,O0O The chiefitem de-
termining the price of paper is the
cost of pulp. An example of the
increased price of paper is found in
the case of publisher of daily in
the Middle West, who recently paid
$1,000 for carload of paper. The
same quantity and grade of paper
cost year ago but $500.
The chemical processes of paper
making, which better preserve the
wood fiber, are gaining over the
mechanical process. In 1899, IS per
cent of the wood was reduced by the
mechanical process; in 1906, less
than so per cent.
All importations of wood for pulp
are from Canada, and comprised,
in 1906, $4,000 cords, nearly all of
which was spruce. Four and half
million dollars worth of pulp was
imported in 1906, slight falling off
from 1905.

this confidence in the President that
there has been a general demand
that he serve another term. Where
ever the sentiment of the voters of
the nation has been sought ,Iduring
the last year Roosevelt was the first
choice of practically every Republi-
can interviewed. The recent an
uouncement of the President that he
stands answering by his state
ment published Nov. 8, 1904, has oc-
casioned sincere regret and there
are millions of voters who will not
be reconciled to his reiterated de-
cision.
Yet, in this emergency there is
one man other than Roosevelt that
has the confidence of the nation
next to the President himself-Sec-
rotary of War, William H. Taft.
Mr.. Taft has been tired in capacities
that determine pretty definitely
what kind of President he would
make. His handling of that most
complicated and delicate situation,
the Philippine question, first as
Commissioner and then as Cover
nor General of the islands, demon
strates his ability as statesman
and diplomat. The vast majority
of Republicans throughout the ma
ton say, IF we cannot have Roose-
welt we will have the next best man,

Learn to Laugh.

A good laugh is better than medi-

we'll told story is welcome sun
beam in a sick room. The world is
too busy to care for your ills and

troubles to yourself. Learn to stop
croaking. If you cannot see any
good in the world keep the bad TO
yourself. Learn to hide your pains
and aches under pleasant smiles.
No one cares whether you have
the earache, headache or rheuma-
tism. Don't cry. Tears do we'll
enough in novels but are out of
place in real life. Learn to meet
your friends with a smile. A good

MOB ATTACKS WOMAN.
st. Louis Crowd Bespatters Wearer
of Sheath Gown With Mud

St. Louis, Aug. IA st. Louis
street crowd has had its first view
of the directoire gown-and the
pavement is still in place on Wash
ington avenue. But that isn't saying
that there wasn't some excite
tmen
A cavalcade of purple elephants
would have looked less startling
to the people around 18th street
and Washington avenue than did
the sight they saw when Miss Char
lotte Wilson appeared there in her
red garb and white sheath gown,
white hat and-her red stockings.
Those red stockings, especially
one of them, were as conspicous as
trouble wagon. There wasn't a
canoe for any one who took even
one diffident, unrepeated hook to
avoid seeing how we'll they fitted
clear up to the knee, and then lit
tie. A second look-and there was
no rule against a second look
would show that the hosiery was of
certain kind, made in st. Louis.
The brand of the hosiery was pre-
sumably intended to interest women.
But before Miss Wilson had gone a
block woman couldn't get near
enough to see much more than the
bird on her hat.
The Locust street. boarding hous-
es, block to the south, and the
negro settlement, block to the
north, turned out as if they had been
waiting for this event like an Office
boy for circus parade. Washing
ton avenue itself furnished the mid
die of Miss Wilson's clamorous es-
cort as far as Twelfth street.
Those who couldn't get near
enough began TO throw things, and
the red dress became spotted with
mud. Then Miss Wilson called for a
policeman, and one who was already
on his way to see what it was all
about answered. The crowd stood
back fun half inch
Officer said Miss Wilson, Eve

have got it. A negro jostled me, and
that must have been when it was
taken"

Worked the Church.

A woman came to Brentwood a
few days ago and represented her
self to be a widow of means, say
ing she was here prospecting with
view of locating. She was a pros
pective buyer with most all the
land men for several days, but when
the hotel man demanded his pay for
board he found her without means,
so the story goes, and he told her
he could not board her and two
Children longer. The woman went
to one of the ladies aid societies and
requested loan of a few dollars,
saying she was working in that
church and amply able to repay.
The request was refused by the pres
i1ent of the society, so the woman
went to similar organizations in a
different church. Here she obtained
$50 on statements that she was ex-
Eecting funds and was a worker in
that church. She also stated that she
had closed a deal leasing one of the
small hotels in the city and would
take charge on August l.
At the present writing the where
abouts of the woman is unknown
and the ladies of the church society
are little uneasy lest she does not
