MaryIand's Fast Disappearing Tim
Der Supply.

There are 1000, 900 acres of woodland
in the State from which was cut in 1908
nearly $4,000, 900 worth OF material. The
principal cut was lumber amounting to
2a5, 900, 900 board feet, but included also
immense quantities of piling, mine props,
cordwood, poles, railroad ties, pulpwood,
lath and shingles. This took more than
three times the growth Of the forests for
that year and points to but one thing,
that we are using our forests much faster
than they are growing condition that
cannot long continue for we will soon use
up all of our capital We use six times as
much wood per capita as Germany. nine
times as much as France, and sixteen
times as much as Great Britain The
same follies that these countries practiced
toward their forests before forest preserva-
ton became public necessity we are
practicing now. and like them we are
destined to suffer similar calamities,
unless we can be taught to profit by their
experiences. One thing is certain that
when our own supplies are exhausted we
cannot depend upon other countries to
come to our rescue for none Of them have
timber to spare. We face the problem of
a serious shortage in the near future. It's
intensity and duration win depend upon
the attitude we now take in regard to this
forest question.

resentment of the criticism of his conduct
of the State Department, and conveying
the notice that. if the people don't like
his kind of displomacy, he is ready to

The Liquor Question.

William J. Bryan has taken up new
isshe-the saloon-and declares in a
statement that Democracy must divorce
itself from the liquor interests for all time
TO come. Mr.. Bryan comes out in favor
Of county option in Nebraska, contend
ing the right of the government to regu.
late the sale of liquor can not be ques-
toned, and the right to regulate includes
the right to prohibit the open saloon.
Some deny the right Of the government
10 close the saloon; others insist that the
government has not moral right to license
The sale of liquor, but with large major
ity il is q matter TO be decided by condi.
lions. The people, acting through the
fundamentally of government, have, for
their own protection, the right TO deter
mine the conditions under which liquor
shall be sold in any community, county
or state,s and it follows that the people of
the nation have right TO act upon the
question whenever they, in their wisdom,
think It proper to do SO, for whatever
constitutional objections may be urged to
any proposed legislation it must be re-
membered that constitutions are in the
hands of the people, and can be altered
whenever the people see fit to alter them.
Conditions differ in different states. In
Nebraska we have high license law.
Under the existing law each city or vii
lage has the right to license or prohibit
the sale of liquor. 1t is quite evident that
majority of the voters of our state favor
larger unit, and county option, such as
Ohio, Texas, Indiana, Kentucky, and
other states now have, has been sug-
gested. What objection can be made to
itl The county is the unit for the enforce
ment of the law, and as liquor drinking
increases crime, it is only fair that the
people who pay the taxes should have a
voice in determining the system to be
employed for regulating the sale of liquor.
The liquor question has been made
acute by the unscrupnlousness of the
liquor interests. Instead of the saloon of
former days, owned by resident and
amenable, to some extent at least, to the
community, we have the branch saloon,
owned and operated by producer of
liquor. This system adds the evils of the
trust system to the evils of the saloon
itself. Whenever community attempts
TO deal with the saloon question. instead
Of having to deal with one Of its own
citizens it finds itself in struggle with
great corporations which operate over q
large area, and have pecuniary interest
in cultivating the appetite for drink in
stead of settling the question by consult
ing its own voters it must engage in a
war with a foreign power.
The saloon, as rule, is in alliance
with vice. It is constantly used TO de-
bauch politics, and to prevent the intel.
lieent consideration Of public questions.
The liquor interests interfere in all mat
tiers that may even remotely affect their
interests.
The democratic party cannot afford to
act as the mouthpiece Of the liquor inter.
esis. 1t can have nothing in common
with the selfish. mercenary and con-
scienceless crusade that the liquor inter
ests have organized against the home and
the stste- against private virtue and
public morals.
