The Philadelphia Inquirer says: ''when the women really want to vote they will obtain the privilege. But 1t won't come through the efforts of a few boisterous females whose high est idea of agitation is to copy the riotous methods of the London suffra- gettes. In the few States where there is universal suffrage the attempt to popularize the ballot for women has thus far proved a dire and rank fall ure.

Taft's packers claim that he already has ninety-four sure votes. and a number of contested ones that will go to him. The Washington Herald foots up eighty-eight sure and some others that are pretty sure for him. There is no doubt that he is in the lead up to date but that doesn't assure his nomination.

That staunch Republican contempor- ary. The Portland oregonian stands in danger of an acute attack of disgust over Southern Republicanism. Hear it:
 The southern delegates, who repre- sent nothing but their own venality and the pedatory greed of their pur- chasers, may possibly control the re- publican convention. name the next presidential candidate Of the party, and thus determine the course of our national policy for many years to come. This Is too much power for them to possess. They are entitled to it neith- CT by the votes they represent nor by their character. It is the plain duty of the northern delegates to disfran- chise them In the convention.
 It must be extremely unpleasant to Northern Republicans of character and standing to reflect that the nominees and the policy of the party at chcago may be settled by the negroes of the South who can give no votes to the ticket. It must turn the stomachs of some of the brethern up North to think of such a possibility but it will be the result of their own doing. so let the galled jade wince," and even kick out of the traces for all we care.

Last Years Sales of HyOmei, the Guar anteed Cure for Catrrah, Larger
 Than Ever.

So pronounced is the relief and cure following the use of Hyomei. that 1t has been publicly recommended by leading druggists and physicians in nearly every state and town in the country, with the result that last years fales were larger than ever.
 The fact that Hyomei is so simple and complete. and that it cures catarrh by breathing medicated air and not taking drugs into the stomach, no doubt has helped to create this wide spread and rapidly increasing army of friends
 You do not risk a penny in testing the healing powers of Hyomei, for E. c. Fowler will sell you a dollar outfit with distinct guarantee to refund the money if the treatment fails to give satisfaction.

It begins to look as if there may be war between China and Japan before great while. unless the two powers soon come to a peaceful understanding If 1t comes 1t will be a bloody one in our Judgment. The Japanese are, best equipped and prepared for war and are the better fighters but the Chinese so largely outnumber theEsr that they might win by sheer weight of num- bers As the people of both nations are largely fatalists a war between them would be conducted without mer- cy and with little regard to loss of life. Such a contest would probably tend to ease the qualms. of American jingoes. and enable them to sleep in peace for a time at least.

The Richmond News-Leader calls Mrs Harry Thaw "a thoroughly bad wo- man." and prints a lengthy editorial to prove it. The natural inference from the designation of her is that she has no good traits and no redeeming qualities whatever. That is just a It, tie more than we are willing to admit about any woman of her age.

most unbelievable quantities OF timber to supply
which whole states were denuded Their forests
We're cut without regard to tho future production
OF timber and about 20 years ago the people OF
the realized the seriousness of their mistake
Besides the practical exhaustion OF the timber
supply, the removal Of the forests had most
grave effecton the water supply, increasing the
floods, reducing the flow In the periods of low
water, washing the soil from the noun
tain sides and depostlng 1t in the rich farm lands
in tho valleys
The states Immediately took steps to remedy
conditions and the last 20 years have witnessed
the enaction Of forest legislation In almost every
eastern state.
STATE FOREST RESERVES
New York. Pennsylvania, Michigan. Wiscor-
sin. Minnesota, New Jersey and Maine have COM
rnenced the establishment of forest but
every of the land must be purchased at
prices ranging from soc to SO per acre, and the
progress must necessarily be slow. These and
other states have created forest departments
sisting OF a commissioner forester and fire
wardens and the movement is rapidly extending
to other states It would not be rash to prophesy
that every state and territory will have such
department inside of 10
The awakening OF the states to the Importance
Of forest preservation, reacted on the national
government and with the conditions in the east
before them, Congress set about to prevent their
repetition In the west, and the adoption of the
national forest policy was the result At a time
when the wisdom Of this policy Is being widely
criticised by many western coneressmen and
atore, 1t may be interesting to attempt descrip-
ton of the conditions which would have resulted,
had this policy not been adopted.
BENEFITS OF FORESTRY POLICY.
Thirty years after the lumbernen entered the
forests of Michigan and Wisconsin they were
practically destroyed and left barren wastes, all

to secure their adoption. It Is improbable that
laws will be necessary for the purpose but
believe they would be constitutional and II self
interest is not sufficient to gain the adoption OF
the best methods of preserving the soil resources
the nation would be fully justified in enacting
pertinent legislation.
I do not believe that any person will deny the
ultimate wisdom OF preserving the productive
quality Of the agricultural lands for very lives
and the life of the nation depends upon It. But
timber is also product Of The soil and while not
SO necessary to existence food, 1T is probably
next in Importance and is largely responsible for
our rapid progress and unequalled prosperity for
tho abundent supplies of timber have put shelter

While. however, timber is product of the soil
Its manner OF growth, few species OF trees being
able to reach commercial value i'll less than 100
years, has and VIII prevent individuals from gain
Ing a livelihood through its cultivation.
Whom 1t is remembered That it requires prom
ise OF very large profits to induce individuals to
plant fruit trees which only require five years to
become productive, it will be apparent that we
can not look for them to plant crop which re-
uuires two generations to yield returns.
Governments however endure from century to

sity to the life of the nation.
