ARKANSAS AS A
 TIMBER CUTTER
Census Reports Ranks This State Sixth in the Production of Lumber First in Cutting
 of Red Gum.

Little Rock, Nov. 27.-The Bureau of the Census of the De- partment Of Commerce and labor has issued it's reports in the lum- Der cut in the United States for year 1907, the statistics being based upon reports 2s, miles. covering every lumber producing region In the United States.
 The lumber production in Arkansas figures conspicuously of red Gum and hickory. It was second in the production of ash and cotton wood. fourth in yellow pine and cypress, fifth in oak and sycamore and eighth in elm and tubelo.
 The most striking feature of the statistics for 1907 is that they show the largest production ever recorded in the United States-40, 256, 154, 900 having a value of S666, 641, 367 at the place of production. In addition there were produced 3,663, 602, 900 laths having a value of $50, LII, 337
  which bring the total reported value of the lumber, laths and shingle production in 1907 up to $707, ,095, 409. If it were possible to secure absolutely complete statistics of the production of lumber, lathes and shingles, it is probable that the total value of the output in 1907 would have approached S750, 100000, a much larger figure thaa that in- dicated for any previous year.
 The state which took the first rank in lumber production during the year was Washington, the output being 3,777,6 900 feet Louisiana ranked second, follow ed by Texas, Mississippi and Wis consin, in the order named, Arkansas being sixth, tue pro- duclion being l,9SS, ,50+ feet, there being 1, 40 mills in opera ton in the state.

OSTEoPATHY-AS. DEFINED
IN APPLETI0N'S UNIvER.
SAL CYCLoPAEDIA

"Osteopathy is a method of
treating diseases of the human
body without the use of drugs, by
means Of manipulations applied
to various nerve centers, chiefly
those along the spine, with view
to inducing free circulation Of the
blood and lymph, and an equal
distribution Of the nerve forces.
Especial attention is given to
the readjustment of any bones,
muscles, or ligaments not in the
normal position.
"The system was formulated
by DR.. A. Y. STILL. He reasoned
that a body so perfectly construc-
ted mechanically should be able
to protect itself against the in
roads or disease without the arti-
fical aid of external substances,
except those employed as food.
Ellis next conclusion was that
as q natural flow of blood is
health, and disease is the effect Of
local or general disturbance of
blood. With this as working
hypothesis, he made a series of
experiments, the results of which
convinced him that the various
organs of the body were controll-
ed by nerve centers located chief
ly along the spine, and that these
could be operated upon and con-
trolled by pressure or stimulation
of the fingers. He holds also that
if the bones, muscles, arteries,
veins, lymphatics, glands, organs,
and tissues Of the body are in the
ir correct anatomical positions, dis
ease cannot exist. Displacement
may arise from a variety of caus-
es, such as a fall, a blow, a strain,
or atmospheric change. Pressure
upon the blood vessels or nerves
in the immediate vicinity of the
part so affected will follow, and a
consequent shutting off of the
nerve or blood supply to some or

democracy, and believes that he will
look to the end with fixed resolution,
and purpose unchanged by the blan.

pledged, no less than Mr.. Bryan or Mr..

Taft seems ntted by experience and
temperament to make the popular

TAFT IS PREFERABLE

An eastern independent paper gives
the following clear and cogent reasons
why Taft is to be preferred to Roose.

"In human affairs we are confronted
as rule, II not with choice Of evils,
at least with the necessity Of weigh.
ing situations not in their entirety to
the liking. 1t is poor philosopher
who battles with all who disagree
with him In decision he may reach
under such circumstances. Mr.. Taft
is fitted by nature and training to be
q better administrator OF the Ques.
lions which press upon the country
for prosecution and solution than
President Roosevelt-better, we be.
lieve. than Mr.. Bryan. The assur.
ances regarding his welcome for and
abiding faith In the new republican.
ism and the democracy are absolute.
Whether Judge Taft has approved of
all the restless methods Of his chief
we do not know, and doubt-that he
stands unswervingly by him on the
main lines OF the presidents fight for
the people, and the purpose to trans
form the republican party from one
Of special privilege to one Of equal op.
portunity, seems to be established.
So much demonstrated, Mr.. Taft's
candidacy makes wide appeal, and
not only so, but II brings him under
strong bonds to the people.
1.-THE progressive forces In the re.
public which now turn to the support
Of Candidate Taft will do so under
the conviction that he will keep the
faith, not only to the measure OF Pres.
ident Roosevelt's advice along just
lines. but beyond. More heavily than
ever, In case OF the election OF Mr..
Taft, will the duty rest upon the re.
publican party to do something for
the relief OF our ritf-burdened in
dustries, and therefore for the relief
OF the country. The freedom TO dc

The stream moves freely when barriers
are removed. So far as the influence
Of Mr. Taft can go. the platform dec.

In our international relations Mr..
