Household Bills.

An increase OF SIPS per annum
or so in household expenses is a Sc
rious matter, and it is easy to blame
it on the tariff But the Payne tar
if has not raised the cost OF living
in England and France, nor has it
forced up prices in Turkey and
China. Our tarirr is local. the rise
in prices is world wide. The high
cost of living. If 1t only affected
lands of projection, might plausibly
be laid to the door of protection. 1t
is, however, as marked under the
dow tariff of England as under the
high tariff OF Germany.
Manufactured articles of many
kinds are far cheaper than they
were thirty years ago. The decline
in iron prices is one of the marvels
OF civilizations; from steel rails ito
frying pans prices have fallen and
agan fallen. So with most commo-

son. If the tariff raised prices all
along the line, how is it that pottery
cutlery, cloth and kitchen utensils
are better and cheaper than when
Mr.. Mckinley was a boy? No free
trader answers that question.
Food is high, partly because OF
combinations to raise or maintain
prices. But in large measure the
advances are due to law stronger
than any tariff act or antitrust law,
to the great law of supply and de-
mand. The number of those who
eat beef and grain, fruits and vege-
tables is increasing more rapidly
than the number of those who raise
them; hence prices rise. This Is
clear enough to anyone who has
seen the fluctuations of business
through a generation.

Repudlated Stewardship.

There are a great many "lfs" and
butts" in Democratic editorial COM
ment on the election he'd this week
in the state OF Maine, which was
won by the Republicans. The re-
suit, however, resolves itself to the
cold fact that Democrats of the
state have been repudiated as exc
cutives and legislators by the peo-
pie after a fair trial just as a large
number of Democratic congressman
will be repudiated this fall at the
polls by the people after trial OF
two years. during which they did
nothing but play childish politics
and spend the peoples money.
According to the latest available
returns from this weeks Maine cleo
ton, Haines, the regular Republican
candidate for governor, received
about 10000 votes, while Plaisted,
the present Democratic governor
who ran, on his record for another
term. received only $4,000 votes
The total figures for the election OF
1910 are 7S,425 for Plaisted and
Ga, 672 for Fernald, the Republican
nominee. That is to say, Democrat
lie probation has turned a Democrat,
tic. plurality of nearly 5000 two
years ago to Republican plurality
of 5000 or so in the present year Of
grace. This is the reduced Re
publican plurality" the Democratic
newspapers are now fussing about
The governorship was not the
only thing taken away from the
Democrats this week by the people
in Maine. Control of the state leg
islature and the election of United
States senator were also taken away
from them as a punishment for Their
incompetent stewardship.
1t is no wonder. that the Demo.
Gratis are whistling to keep up theil
courage over this election.

S TIA
Is to Be Established to Study
Grazing and Water Pro-
lection Problems.

WASHINGTON, d. C., Sept. H.
Secretary Wilson of the United States
Department of Agriculture, has decid-
ed to establish an experiment station
on the Manti National Forest near
,Ephraim, Utah. for the study of graz
ing and water protection problems.
In fact bids for the construction Of
the necessary buildings have been re-
celved and 1t is expected to have the
station in working order before win
ter. Already the gathering OF OBJ
servations on the relations OF erosion
and run-off to the forest cover have
begun.
The Manti National Forest was
chosen as the site for this experiment
station because 1t offers exceptionally
good opportunities for investigating
problems of practical value in oonnec-
ton with regulated grazing. Ephraim
and other towns in It's neighborhood
have suffered severely from floods
following violent rain storms In the
mountains, and 1t has already been
proved conclusively that the over
graZed condition of areas on which
the natural vegetative cover has been
seriously altered is responsible for the
formation Of torrents and the rapid
discharge Of debris-lader floodwaters
In a recent destructive storm the water
ran clear from u part of the water
shed which was within the Nattonal
Forest, and in good. condition as re-
suit Of well regulated grazing, while
from other areas II swept down sand
and lboulders. One of the objects OF
the study will be to learn how the
maxium of grazing use OF Natural
land can be obtained without injury
to forest reproduction and stream
flow.
The national forests provide range
during a part of all of the year for a
considerable part of the stock pro-
duced in the western states. Approx
'imately one and one-half million head
of cattle and horses and seven and
one-half million head of sheep and
goats occupy the forest lands each
year. These figures do not include
nearly three husdred thousand calves
an Dover four million lambs and kids
for which permits are not required.
The experts of the department be-
lieve that when the ranges which were

This is the. question of this

many, among them, some of the
subscribers of the Lawrence.

In last weeks issue of the Law
renee Union appeared an article
announcing that the Times and
Union we're to be put in one

the course of two weeks. Now
on the other band, we have
learned that the Lawrence Dem

that Mr.. Vaughn only sold to

know who ownes it, and what's
going to become of the subscrib-
