The most valuable land in the
world is in the Sahara Desert. II is
made valuable by the late trees that
cover every spot where enough water
can be had TO make them grow. This
great land value comes because man
has there utilized the productive
power OF the tree, natures greatest
engine of production. II is really
remarkable that we in the United
States have used trees so little to
do our work for us.
An orchard OF black walnuts. or

els, or Ohio Valley pecans. with
trees as good as the best wild ones

THE LARGER MINORITY"

President Wilson says the New York World. might have gone fur
ther than he did when he told his audience at indianapolis that the Re
publican party is still more OF a minority party than the Democratic,
and that "as between the minorites think W c can claim to belong 10
the larger minority
The World has compiled the official vote for representatives III
congress in November. These returns show that the Democratic party
poled a larger percentage of the total Democratic Repubfcan-Progres-
sve vote than it poned in 1912. and that the Republicans and Progress
sives combined po1ed a smaller percentage than in 1912
In spite OF the great Republican gains i'll the house due to the re-
turn OF the Roosevelt voters to their old allegiance, the fact remains
that the Democratic vote vas relatively larger than it was two years ago.
In 1912 the Democrats poned approximately As per cen Of the total
Democratic Re pubican- Progressive vote. The Republicans poIed L
per cent and the Progressives poned 80 per cent In 1914 the Demo
cratic congressional candidates poned 474S per cent of this total vote,
the Republicans po1ed $3.50 per cent and the ProgresFives poled 69z
per cent This shows a Democratic gain of nearly 21a per cent a Re
publican gain OF 21H per cent and a Progressive loss of p per cent It
shows also a combined Republican Progressive loss of 2H per cent
The official returns from the various districts indicate a total Demo-
cratic vote for members Of congress OF 5267F, a total Republican vote
OF SCOOPS, and a total Progressive vote OF 769S63. In addition $1,000
votes were cast for Democraic-Frogressv fusion candidates and 253432
votes yer cast for Republican, Progressive fusion candidates. There is
no basis o which this fusion voe cn be apporhoned. But it is plain
that At best the total Progressive cote was well below a million, as
against 4119,507 two years ago.
There were no general Republican gains in the popular vote in 1914
at the expense of the Democratic party. The Republican gains we're all
at the expense Of the Progressive party. and even the returns of the lost
sheep left the Republicans far below the Democrats in actual numbers
Various masters OF political mystery in Washington choose to in
terpret the Presidents indianapolis, speech as an announcement of hi
candidacy for denomination in 1916 Such an announcement IN Mr..
Wilson's part would be superhuous. So far as the rank and file Oft the
Democratic party re concerned, he is their candidate, aNd they have n
second choice. The only mn who a prevent the denomination of
Woodrow Wilson is Woodrow Wilson.

with Mr.. Davis they agreed to man
ufacture a stove i'm accordance with
the views presented to them for the
