Mr.. nEpBuRN,s DEFEAT

Hon. W. p. Hepburn, one OF the
prominent and able figures of many
past congresses, will not loe certified
to the next. 1t is authoritatively
stated that he has been defeated by
w. d. Jameson, democrat, in a dis
frict republican by heavy majorities
In 1900 Mr., Hepburn's plurality was
5,451. In 1902 his majority over all
amounted to 6,S61. His plurality in
1904 totaled 12,0S5. In the election of
1906 his plurality was slightly over
$500. This year he was defeated by
Jameson in a close contest. 1t is
likely that his defeat eliminates Mr..
Hepburn from the list of public office
holders for all time. He is growing
old and will not be likely to again
appeal to the suffrages Of the voters.
If the situation were to be analysed
in cold blood, the causes for Mr.. Hep
burns failure to go back to congress
are sufficiently evident. Jameson out
side of an ability to mix and a GER
tain confidence he has inspired in his
sense of honesty, has no more license
to beat Pete Hepburn than a cart
horse TO outrun Derby winner. IT
the feeling that put the ballots into the
Eighth district boxes Tuesday were to
be plainly expressed, they went in to
beat Hepburn, not to elect Jameson,
and a democrat. The democrats did not
win it: mark Taft's plurality. In
plain words, Hepburn lost it, and for
reasons that have been canvassed often
enough during the past six years to
leave unsaid in this time of universal
republican rejoicing.
A feeling of sympathy that comes
from the heart and not from the mind

Timber supply of United States.

1--WE are now cutting timber from
the foresrs of the United States at the
rate of 500 feet board measure. year.
for every man, woman and child. IN
Europe they use only sixty board feet.
Few statements could be made which
would better convince the average man
that this country leads the world in the
demand for timber. Ii Is made by
Treadwell Cleveland. Jr,. in circular
which treats of the conservation of the
forests. soil. water, and all the other
great natural resources, which has just
been published by the United States
forest service In speaking further of
the consumption of timber In this
country. Mr.. Cleveland says:
Al this rate, In less than thirty
years, all our remaining virgin timber
will be cut Meantime, the forests
which have been cut over are generally
in u bad way for want of care; they
will produce only inferior second
growth. We are clearly over the verge
OF a timber famine
"rhis is not due to necessity, for the
forests are one of the renewable re-
sources Rightly used, they go on pro-
ducing crop after crop indefinitely me
countries of Europe know this, ana
Japan knows 1t; and their forests are
becoming with time not less, but more,
productive. We probably still possess
sufficient iorest land to grow wood
enough at home to supply our own
needs. If we are not blind. or wilfully
wasteful, we may yet preserve our for
est independence. and, with 1t. the
tad Si,.io
present wastes in lumber produc-
ton are numerous. Take the case OF
yellow pine, which now heads the list
in the volume OF annual cut. In 1907 IT
is estimated that only one-half of all
the yellow pine cut during the season
was used, and that the other half,
amounting to 100000 cords. was
wasted. Such waste is typical. Mr.. K.
A. Long, In his address on Forest Con-
servation' at the conference OF govern
ors last spring, pointed out that 20
per cent of the yellow pine was SIM
ply left in the woods--a waste which
represents the timber growing on 300
900 acres.
The rest of the waste takes place at
the mill. OF course, 1t would never do
to speak OF the material rejected at
the mill as waste unless this material
could. be turned to use by some bet
ter and more thorough form Of utiliza-
ton. But in many cases we know, and
in many cases we have excellent rea-
son to believe, that most, II not all, ot
this material could be used with profit.
1t is simply a question of intelligent
investigation and, more than all, OF
having the will to economic.
But there are other ways to con-
serve the forests besides cutting IN
half the present waste of forest pro-
ducts. The forests can be made to pro-
duce three or four times as rapidly as
they do at present. This is true of both
the virgin forests and the cut-over
lands. Virgin forests are often fully
stocked with first class timber, but this
stock has been laid in very slowly. on
account of the wasteful competition
which is carried on constantly between
the rival trees. Then. too, in the virgin
forests there are very many trees
which have reached maturity and

THE VERDICT AND THE FUTURE.

General Apathy, whose presence IN
the cafnpaign was the subject of COM
ment and the cause of needless fears
appears to have disappeared on the
eve of battle. The truth is that he
was never lin our midst" 1t was an
other who looks somewhat like him,
one General Conviction. When the adj
vance was made early in the morning
and after the casualties were counted
up after the battle, the mistake was
clearly evident.
This is a great republican victory
made upon 1t can so entirely sum up
its meaning as that of Roosevelt: THE
nomination Of Mr. Taft was a triumph
over reactionary conservatism, and his
election was triumph over unwise ana
improper radicalism."
That is about the size OF 1t. The
solid sentiment of the great majority,
founded on several years of serious
consideration and brought to a COM
plete conclusion spoke in the ballots
that elected Taft that returned Hughes
in the face of that most desperate at
tempt to destroy him, that sent Cum
minis up to the senate to carry on
the work he has begun. We have
waited long for the verdict, but it is
complete. The square deal is as firm
ly established as the Monroe doctrine.
The time for argument is passed. The
fight is over. There is to be no reac-
ton, but an advance. all along the line.
The policy of the republican party is
settled.
Henceforth let elimination and re-
elimination, strife, jealousy and hatred
cease. .Antagonisms have been kindled
and famed to flame in the long strug-
gle that has surged back and forth be-
tween the conservatism of the ex-
IRENE type and the Roosevelt policies.
IL there be any who refuse to accept
the decisive settlement of the question
by the people, let him keep his peace
apart; but let animosity. cease and
cordial cooperation take it's place;
never forgetting that the test of Sim
.cerity is the acceptance of the verdict
as ii was given and without important
reservation. The republican party has
renewed its youth and taken mort
gage on the future--if it keeps step
with progress and squares it's actions
with the policy approved by the vot-
ers.

a CAUSE OF RACE su,c,pD?

Frederic CORTLAND Penfield contrib
Der number of The North American
Review entitled France and Her VAN
ishing Population" Mr.. Penfield gives
some appalling figures In relation to
the decline of French population. In
1902 the excess of births over deaths
was $4,000; in 1903, 10000; in 1904, 81
900; in 1905, $4,000; in 1906, $4,000:
and in 1907 1t not only reached zero
but passed 1t. for there We're 10000
moro deaths than births. The main
cause to which Mr.. Pentield attributes
this alarming decline in the number
of the French people is the thrift for
which the French are famed. but which
Mr.. Peptield regards as synonymous
with greed. He says:
when obliged to divide his prop
erty equally among his children, and
when he knows that the same restric-
ton will be applied to their children
when their turn comes, the citizen OF
France usually elects to have linz
tied family. The dowry system, again
operates in the same direction. Every
where an additional child means addi-
tional expense: in France it means an
extra dowry as well, and that is an
added reason why the French have
few children. So long as the presen;
property law exists, and the dowry
custom obtains, there can be no solu-
ton of French depopulation. France
is manifestly deriving from her Inherit
ance policy an immense diffusion of
prosperity. and certain publicists are
applauding the national policy. and
boldly asserting that it Is more than
wise to promote greater equality In
the distribution Of wealth"
