The Lumber Tariff.

If the American duty on lumber
is removed, Canada will impose an
export duty. She will do this for
two reasons. First, she wants to
preserve her lumber for herself; and
in the second place, a vast amount of
Canadian timber is owned by Ameri-
cans. and the Canadian Government
will gladly add to the receipts of its
treasury out of the pockes of Amer
leans. Any one can see that if Can
ada does this, no change in the
price of lumber would result from
the lowering of the tariff so far as
the American consumer is concern
ed. The only difference would be
that the duty would go into Canadian
Golfers instead Of into the United
States treasury. In the matter of
the lumber tariff as on many other
phases of this great question, tn,
average man declaiming vociferous-
ly about what ought to be done does
not know as much as the A. B. C's of
the tariff question.-Cedar Rapids

ROOSEVELT LAUDS SUCCESSOR.
Tribute to Taft Forms Chief Feature
of Inaugural Souvenir.

Washington, March 2.-President
Roosevelts concise analysis Of Will
liam H.Taft's character and qualifica-
tons as man and a public official
Is the principal feature of the in
! augural souvenir, which will be
sought after by thousands in Wash
ington tomorrow.
The souvenir is a booklet, very
plain, but very pretty, printed on
heavy paper, with covers of rich
cream tint and with very little orna-
mentation. 1t contains just thirteen
pages of printed matter and three
illustrations. The pictures are por-
traits of Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Sherman
and an engraving of the White
House. Mr.. Roosevelt is the author
of the sketch of Mr.. Taft and j..
Sloat Fassett of Elmira writes the
sketch of Mr.. Sherman. On the
last page are given the names of the
inaugural committee.
After a brief biographical sketch
of Mr.. Taft, Mr. Roosevelt says of
his successor in the White House:
States he woman enviable reputa-
ton and succeeded to a remarkable
degree in combining entire fearless
ness in stating and upholding his
own convictions with the ability to
avoid giving needless offense to those
whose convictions differed from his.
The combination of these qualities
is rare.
''There are too many in public as
in private life who will not stand by
their convictions in time of stress,
and there are also few, who, having
the right convictions, the courage
to stand by them, nevertheless put
them forward in the most offensive
possible manner-in the manner best
fitted to prevent their becoming the
convictions of any considerable num-
Der of their fellow countrymen. 1t is
one of Mr.. Taft's great gifts of use
fulness that he possesses exactly this
ability; the ability unflinchingly to
stand by the right, ana yet to do it
with the minimum of offensiveness
toward those who do not see mat
ters as clearly as he does"
He concludes with this general
tribute to Mr.. Taft's qualities:
mo man of better training, no
man of more dauntless courage, of
sounder common sense and of high
er and finer character has ever CONS
to the presidency than William
Howard Taft"
Mr.. Fassett sums up Mr.. Sher-
mans character in this paragraph
''He is one of the best types of
high-minded representative Christian
American gentlemen, who have made
good under working conditions. He
has been tried and found not want
ing. He is not dreamer nor pos
er nor a noisy advocate of impos-
sible and undesirable extremes, but
one of our best American citizens,
one of that class who have been do
ing things for the improvement of
existing conditions, who have beer
devoting their lives and abilities to
converting the ideals of yesterday in
to the realities of today"
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1909-03-05

classes. in the country and the failure
of educated lawyers and political
economists and others to bring about
proper relations between the well-to-
do and those who are dependnt up
on wages for their living, arises
from an absence of proper point OF
view on the part of those who are
leading comfortable lives.
"The confidence that the common
plain people, including the wage
earners, have had in Theodore
Roosevelt as their representative
and defender, has been most perfect
ly placed; for there never was a
champion more sincere In support of
their real interests and yet there new
er was a friend franker in his state
ment to them of the unpleasant
truths that occasionally they ought
to be old. Mr.. Roosevelt understands
the plain people about as well as Lin
coin did, shares their feelings and
gives accurate expression to them.
Hence his marvellous hold upon the
great body of the people, which
has continued to exist in undiminish-
ed strength 'tDite of the criticism
heard of hirIBiEd his methods in
quarters more conspicuous than
really significant.
when the friction of the last
few months shall be forgotten, when
the mists of momentary irritation
shall have disappeared, the greatness
of Theodore Roosevelt as president
and as leader of men in one of the
great moral movements of the coun-
trys history will become clear to
everyone, and he will take his place
in history with Washington and
Lincoln"

for the prize of 500 offered each
year, by the State Association of
Elks, to the best working lodge in
the state.
The competition this year, will be
pulled off in Calumet, in June. and
on account of the long distance to
that city, and the expense which
would be incurred by the officers of
the local lodge, in reaching there,
committee was appointed to devise
methods by which money to defray
the expenses of trip could be raised.
The committee has decided to ar
range a party for next Tuesday night
at the Temple, and the proceeds
thereof will be used in the defray-
ment of the expenses.
The Port Huron lodge carried of
the prize last year.
