'SAWDUST FLOUR FROM
WASTE OF LUMBER MILLS

inferior to that made with infusorial
earth as the absorbent; but 1t serves
many purposes and Is cheaper. But
dynamite is one of the smallest pro-
spective uses for the product. Lin
oleum makers mix it with linseed oil
and give body to their -four cover
ings. 1t is not considered quite
equal to ground cork for this pur-
pose, as it Is less elastic, but 1t is
cheaper and meets requirements for
redium grades.
The flour fills an important place
IN the manufacture of xyolite "a kinu
of artificial flooring, resembling
wood in weight, and stone in other
respects. 1t is used for kitchen
floors, and in halls; corridors cafes
restaurants, and public rooms. 1t Is
lmpervious to water, and is practi-
cally fire-froof 1t is floor material
in some of the German war vessels
1t is used because it Is not liable tc
take fire or splinter If struck by
shells.
Many additional uses for wood floul
will probably be found. The amount
of sawdust to be had in this country
is practically unlimited, and million!

Norway exports thousands of tons o

also; and has been for years. Eng

MANN IS SARCASTIC
Original White Slave Legislator Dis.
cusses Other Measures.


cusses Other Measures.
Washington, Jan. 13.-The Howell
white slave bill. reported as substt
tute for two bills by Representative
Bennett of New York and one by
Representative Sabbath on the same
subject, was passed by the house.
The white slave bill passed differs
from the Mann bill, which will soon
be brought before the house, in that
it includes immoral men in It's pro-
hibitory provisions and strengthens
laws affecting the detention and de-
portation of undesirable aliens. While
Mr.. Mann spoke somewhat sarcastic
ally of the Howell bill when some
members of the immigration md nat
uralization committee, from which 1t
was reported, asserted that it was
modelled after his own proposition, he
admitted that the measure did not
conflict In any material particular
with his own bill.
The house agreed to nonconcur in
the senate amendments to the Ballin.
ger-Pinchot resolution of inquiry and
to send 1t to conference. Representa-
tives Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Smith
of Iowa and Fitzgerald Of New York
were appointed conferees on the part
Of the house.

MOUNT VERNON, OHIO
NOT A PARTY QUESTION

The Athens Messenger, Republi-
can paper. said OF Governor Har-
mons position In favor of one CEN
tral board to manage state institu-
tions: "There is no doubt but that
change is necessary III the manage
ment of state institutions but
whether the detailed plans suggested
by Governor Harmon are advisable
and suitable has not been determine
ed"
OF course to a Republican paper
like the Athens Messenger grave
doubts would arise as to whether
any suggestions made by Democra-
tic governor would be advisable and
suitable and the Messenger wants it
understood in advance that If 1t is
done he must not have too much
credit for it since IL is a plan that
other governors have favored.
Very we'll, that ought to make ic
all the easier to bring about. 1t
ought to make II unanimous. What's
the difference who proposes such a
change? The point Is that the state
should have IL not who first propos-
ed it,
Bills to create a central board of
control to manage state institutions
have been introduced in every Rep
ubllcan Legislature Ohio has had
within the past ten years. II the idea
was first proposed by Governor Bush
nell. as some claim. why was 1t not
put through by the Republican legis-
latures Of his timer Was 1t because
Republican legislature believed
that the proposition of Republican
governor was neither suitable nor
advisable? Is the same thing to be
said of Governor Nash and the Rep
ublican legislature OF his regime? :?
Is the same thing to be said OF Gov.
Herrick and the Republican leglsla-
ture of 1904? Must the matter be
dropped because Governor Bushnell
and Governor Mash are dead and
cannot be called back to urge such a
measure to the present Republican
legislature? Must IL be cast aside be-
cause Governor Herrlck Is not gov
ernor now and cannot put IL through
as an administration measure" to
the greater glory OF the G. o. p?
II the present Republican legisla-
turo is such sticker for peanut poll
tics that it can do nothing without
party precedent here Is ample auth
ority for supporting such PROPOSE
tlon even though propounded this
time by a Democratic governor. If
this Is done there viii be credit
enough for all concerned, including
former Republican governors.
Former Republican legislatures
stood out against the recommenda.
tion of Republican governors on this
proposition without raising a party
question. If II is admitted now by
Republican commontoTs, to be q
good thing because advocated here
tofore by Republican governors, then
Republican members OF tho present
legislature can have no excuse eX-
cept PARTISAN bias (Which Ia no ex-
cuse at all), for not acting favorably
upon such u accommodates by n
Democratic governor. That kind OF
peanut politics. for which the present
legislature made an unenviablo rec,
ord In special session Inst winter
would be fully understood by tho
people Of Ohio. with whom this Is
not party question but sound
buslncfs proposition.
