REPUBLICAN, SALT CITY, UTAH. SUNDAY 1910

solely with the insurgents who have
made the existing situation possible
The Democrats play their part, but
would be harmless without the active
aid and cooperation of the imitation
Republicans. Speaker Cannon is well
aware OF this fact and Is not inclined
to waste any soft words on the insur-
gents.
In his speech before the Middlesex
club, the speaker recalled the fact that
the administration of President Grant
was attacked venomously; that the hero
OF the civil war was abused personally;
that members Of his cabinet were ma
Hgned and traduced. He also called
attention to the fact that those who
were loudest in their denunciations
have long since been forgotten, while
the fame OF President Ulysses 8. Grant
increases with the lapse of time; that
the Republican party is still the party
OF the people.
Mr. Cannon is confident that a ma
jority OF the voters of the United States
WIFI not be deceived by the attacks upon
the administration of President Taft.
1t is history repeating itself. The outs
want to get in, and are not overly nice
in the methods employed to attain their
object.

TEXAS DEMOCRATS PRAYER.

A Texas Democrat, deceived by the
little furry in Washington and the re-
suit of congressional elections in a
couple of districts, fondly imagines that
there is a chance for a Democratic vic
tory this fall At the same time he is
harrassed by doubts and fears that the
donkey will bray at an inopportune mo-
ment, and that the figs will turn to
thistles as usual
While in this frame Of mind, lowering
in uncertainty at the very beginning of
the campaign, the Texan has poured
forth his soul in prayer IN this fashion:
o Lord, now that everything is COM
ing our way, purge every Democratic
soul OF hot air and vainglory, and in
Sert large installments of common
sense in every Democratic Uranium
and oh, remember, Lord, our proneness
to make fools of ourselves Just when
we have the world by the tail and a
downhill pull, and see that we don't
get in bad this time
The brother down in the Lone Star
state is to be pitied. OF course all things
are possible with the Lord. but he never
has interposed to prevent the Demo-
Gratis from making fools Of themselves
or from getting in bad. Neither is 1t
probable that he ever will. The Repub-
lican party has been carrying the ark
of the covenant for long time, and it
will be in the forefront of the battle in
November. The Texas brother should
address his prayers to Beelzebub.

Besides these revenues. the total ex-
ports Of lumber, timber, pulp wood and
firewood In the last fiscal year for
which returns are available was s44,-
507, 52s. The home consumption is esti-
mated at s5o.oOO.oOo per year and con-
stantly increasing
The growth OF the wood pulp indus
try Of Canada has grown to enormous
proportions. The value of pulp wood
exported in 1890 was s1SS, $50, while in
1908 1t had increased to s4.0S7. S52, the
United States taking SO, $50 and
Great Britain s4S5,19 worth.
In manufactured wood products the
trade with the United States from 1885
to 1908 has increased from s7,s42, 52s to
$27. 470,574. and with Great Britain dur
ing the same period the trade has in
creased from 1884, PA to 81, s43, 094,
while the total export trade from Can
ada during this time has increa sed from
s1s,742, 625 to $44,17o, 470 In 1908 the to-
tai exports of wood products Increased
to s49, 16s, $50.
There is importation of forest pro-
ducts into Canada, principally from the
United States, and the value of these
imports has increased from s2,412,572 in
1874 to $12,032, 595 in 1908. For the ten
years-1S97 to 1906, inclusive-the total
imports amounted to $50, s34. ITO. of
which $57,52O,731 was imported from the
United States. In 1905 the import value
Of pine alone from Minnesota and Wis
consin was 125, OO0. 900 feet, board meas
ure, largely to the western prairie prov
inces. In other provinces the imports
are mostly of hardwood, such as oak,
ash, walnut, hickory and cherry.
Altogether the United States has
proved pretty good market for Can
adam wood products If the other
provinces follow the lead Of Quebec
and New Brunswick. it is possible that
the administration will be compelled to
take some action in spite Of the recent
tariff agreement.

CANADIAN FORESTS.

The action Of the Province of Quebec
in prohibiting the expectation of wood
pulp, will probably be followed by like
action on the part of the Province of
New Brunswick, thus making It still
more difficult for the American paper
manufacturers to obtain the necessary
supply. There is some apprehension on
the part of the newspaper publishers re-
garding the future price of print paper,
which is abnormally high at the pres
ent time.
The people Of the United States have
been given to understand that the for
ests in this country are being rapidly
depleted, and that we must look to
Canada for at least part Of our lumber
hereafter. According TO the American
consul at Kingston, the area of mer-
charitable forests of Canada has been
very much overestimated, and that the
prospects for future generations are not
very good so far as lumber is concerned
unless the work Of reforestation is car
ried on
Estimates of the forest area of Canada
vary from 200, 900 to 900, 0OO, 900 acres,
the timber belt scratching from IN
gava across northern Quebec and On
tario and thence north of the prairies
to the Peace River country, but the
larger portion of this is not merchant
able except for firewcod, and can not
be transported long distances. The area
of understandable timber is estimated by
some authorities at loo, 10000 acres.
The secretary of the Forestry associa-
ton stated that the amount of Canada's
merchantable timber was one-third that
of the United States, a liberal estimate
placing the available supply at $50. OOO.-
100000 feet board measure. A recent
Ontario estimate was to the effect that
the timber used at the present rate will
last the province thirty years
In Ontario the last annual return of
revenue was s2,0s2, s7S. The only reason
given that Ontario has not had to resort
to direct taxation is because the reve-
nue. of her crown lands have been suf-
ficient to meet this need The annual
revenue Of Ontario from these crown
lands amounts TO about 81 per capita.

GENERAL GRANT.

The past week witnessed the Ssth an
niversary of the birth Of Ulysses S.
Grant, who was destined to lead the
greatest army of the nineteenth century
to victory, to be placed at the head of
civil affairs of his native land for eight
years, and to die mourned by the civil
lized world.
There was little in the early life of
General Grant that gave promise of
such a glorious career He was born
at Point Pleasant, Clermont county, O.,
April p, 1922; he graduated at West
Point and served through the Mexican
war. resigning from the army in 1854,
and settled in ST. Louis, from which
place he removed to Galena, Ill, in 1860,
engaging In the leather business with
his father.
Grants opportunity came when the
civil war broke out and the armies of
the north and south struggled IN the
field for the mastery. From the time he
went to the front as colonel Of an I'LL
nois regiment OF volunteers until he
received the surrender Of General Lee
at Appomattox Courthouse, April Q,
1865, his fame as a soldier increased,
and now that the bitterness engendered
by the fraternaI strife has passed away,
his name is revered in all the states of
the union, north and south.
History relates the story Of his re-
markable career as a commander, and
it would be useless to recount here the
hardships endured and the battles won.
nowned than war" II was General
Grant who, when the last shot had been
fired and the long conflict ended,

emotion, Let US have peace"
Peace came, and with II the wonder

United States, a large shore of which
is due to the genius of General Grant
as a soldier and his wisdom when called
to the presidential chair.
In the years that have passed since
the closing scene at Mount McGregor.
July %, 1885, the battles of the war of
the rebellion have been fought over
and ever again by the military critics,
with the result that each controversy
has added new luster to the name of
General Grant With Washington and
Lincoln he will live forever in the hearts
of the people and the history of the
country which he helped to preserve.

The Chicago Tribune, which did not
appreciate Albert ]. Hopkins and has
no use for William L. Lorimer, has
sprung a copyrighted story to the eff
feet that the latter secured the sena-
4orial toga OF the former by bribery and
corruption.

and reelected Hopkins as their candi-
date for senator. A Republican legisla-
ture was chosen at the following cleo

THE HOUSE RULES.

Speaker Cannon delivered an address
before the Middlesex club of Boston
Saturday night on the occasion of the
Grant birthday celebration After eu-
logizing the greatest captain of mod
ern times. Mr.. Cannon had something
to say about the rules of the House. His
remarks were brief and very much to
the point
Mr.. Cannon stated that the rules were
development of 120 years; that they
were substantially as they had been for
a generation; that a campaign against
the rules made twenty years ago
brought out all the denunciation made
within the last two years, and that on
the former occasion it was "the loud
minority trying to dictate legislation. -
No one will question the accuracy of
the speakers statement. Having been
in public life at the national capital, he
knows whereof he speaks. He was a
member Of the House when Thomas B.
Reed occupied the chair, and the cry
Of "Czarism" was raised when the MI
nority failed to override the majority
and control legislation. He was also a
member of the House when the Demo
Gratis came into power and adopted the
Reed rules.
Summed up, the situation amounts to
this: When the Republicans contro,
the House and elect the speaker the
rules are rotten; when the Democrats
get in and put the gavel into the hands
Of member of that party, the same
rules embrace the sum total of narlia-
mentary wisdom. The hypocrisy of the
Democracy in regard TO tie rules Is ap-
parent to all beholders.
The only difference between the FIGHT
made on the rules during the present
session Of Congress and the attack
made during the incumbency of Reed
lies in the fact that in the DAYS of the
Maine statesman the Republicans man
fully upheld the right of the majority
to rule and accepted full responsibility
for the rules, the parliamentary de-
clslons of the speaker and the Iegisla-
ton enacted, while in this reform"
period enough Republicans basely de-
serted their party and enabled the MI
nority to obtain a partial triumph.

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE.

The delegates representing Cuba at
the dedication OF the new home of the
Bureau of American Republics in Wash
insson were given a luncheon by Direc-
tor John Barrett Senator Sutherland,
being chairman Of the Senate commit
tee on Cuban relations, was present In
a semi-official capacity and made q
speech, during the course of which he
declared that he was opposed to Cuban
annexation.
Like most statesmen In this country,
Senator Sutherland believes that Cuba
will develop into a strong. independent
nation, and is in favor of giving her
the opportunity. He told the delegates
So, and they were naturally much
pleased
It cost the United States hundreds of
millions of dollars to free Cuba from
the Spanish yoke. Also many lives were
lost in the war waged for that purpose
1t is felt by the people of this country
that if Cuba becomes a prosperous, law
abiding little republic, the sacrifice was
not made in vain.
For time It appeared doubtful This
government was compelled to send an
army to the island to prevent anarchy.
Naturally many people at once con-
cluded that the best way to avoid
trouble in the future was to annex Cuba
and have done with it. That feeling has
passed away, and It is now up to the
Cubans to show that they can rule
themselves.
II they fail, 1t is probable this coun-
try will be compelled to annex the
island in order to prevent it falling into
the hands of some European nation
Happily the Cubans are at present dem
onstrating to the world that they can
run their own affairs without outside
help. May they continue to do so.

SALT LAKES GROWTH.

According to the figures so far re-
ceived by Census Supervisor McMillin,
the population of Salt Lake is well over
the 100000 mark. Six districts have
been enumerated, and the increase in
some OF them runs as high as I25 Der
cent This is truly remarkable show
ing. From an overgrown country town
Of $1,000 inhabitants In 1890, Salt Lake
has become a modern, well-built, pro-
gressive city. with all the name i'm
plies. Owing to great natural advan-
tages, such as the rich farming and
mining county contiguous, favorable
location and mild climate, Salt Lake
was destined to become the metropolis
of the mountain country from the ear

But enterprise and public spirit
count The citizens of Salt Lake de-
cided MOTTO wait for others to discover
the advantages offered for capitalists,
mechanics, laborers and farmers in the
great valley. Instead Of which they
spread the glad news abroad, in the
meantime showing their faith in the flu
ture by investing all their availa BILE

due in great part to these men.
Recently the Commercial club dectd-
ed to enter upon campaign Of publict-
ty; to let the facts concerning Salt

length and breadth Of the land; to bring
in more capital and more families. AS
a result Of such a campaign by the end
of the next decade 250, 900 inhabitants

One thing discovered by the enune-
rators in Salt Lake ought to satisfy
former President Roosevelt and others
who have been declafning against race
suicide. The families In several dis
tricts in the northwest part OF the city
average twelve members each. With a
natural increase of this kind it will be
easy for Salt Lake to keep up with the
procession in the matter of population.
