In view of the facts it Is not surpris-
ing that the effort to retain the duty
on lumber meets with little encourage
ment in this part of the country, even
from lumbermen One of the greatest
lumber manufacturers in the United
States remarked the other day that
while he would prefer to have the tar

tariff Another big lumberman, who
occupies much the same position and
is doing little to encourage the agita-
tion being conducted by the lumber
trade for the retention of the tariff on
lumber. is illustrating by his own ac-
tivities the effect OF the tariff on the
conservation or rather, exhaustion of
American forests. This lumberman,
Thomas Shevin. and his associates
have mills on the Rainy river on the
Minnesota and Ontario sides, with
about the same capacity, 60,000,000 feet
of lumber per year and with about the
same amount of timber tributary to
each. Originally 1t was intended to OPP
crate both mills to their full capacity

that can be made the bald comparison
Is startling case. 1t indicates how
far the cutting away of our white pine
resources has progressed, and is sig

The destruction of the forests and
the ruin that has followed, together
with the high price of lumber that has
naturally resulted, has awakened in
tense interest in these states in forest
conservation and in the repeal of the
lumber tariff, which is generally re-
garded as intimately associated with
conservation. In fact, many of those
deeply interested in forest conserva-
ton regard the tariff of 50 to $3.50 per
thousand as a virtual reward for the
more rapid destruction Of the remain
ing forests. The better grades Of fin
ished lumber are entirely kept out Of
the import trade by the tariff, and the
volume of lower grades reported Is
greatly restricted by the 81 tariff SO,

A DESERVED REBuKE.

The rebuke administered to Jameson
by the senate yesterday was deserved.
The senator from Page county was
willing and anxious to make such capt.
might by fourflushing in the face Of
work to be done with a lond- winded
Jameson and to do little else. The
senate shut him up, pushed him out
Of the way, and went on working, after
the fashion of state senates.
The impression forces itself that
"there isn't much to Jameson" He
Is one of the accidents of politics, a
senator because a better man moved
out Of the state and left loophole
whereat Jameson crept in over an
unpopular candidate; congressman
succeeding a man Of the most marked
ability because his predecessor thru
long years Of officeholding forgot the
source of his elevation and remem-
bered too we'll the politicians and in
terests commoners believe opposed to
the agricultural interests and the
square deal. From an incubator of I'M
toward circumstances and party fac
tionalism Jameson was Matched. He
was a casualty in collision between
popular disgust and congressional
neglect; result Of deafness walking
on the tracks before the engine Of
popular disapproval.
Mr.. Jameson appears to be a very
ordinary man of a very mediocre type.
That he is a,democrat is neither here
nor there. Dan Hamilton Is q demo.
crat, and the state was not ashamed
Of him on the delegation. Jerry Sulli-
van is democrat and a man big
enough for the state to be proud of. Mr..
Jameson is a very respectable sort Of
citizen and a good fellow to meet, but
he will rattle around in Pete Hepburn's
seat like a mustard seed in brass
kettle. 1t is a supreme pity that Hep
burn might not have deserved and kept
the confidence of his district and the
state at large, for Jameson is not Of
Iowa congressional size.
