ufactured and the average mill value
for each species. Painted schedules
designed for use in different regious
of the country will simplify the col
lection of the figures and make it
easy for each mill man to send in a
complete report. The work, it is
stated, will be directed by the office
OF industrial Investigations of the
forest service in Washington, but the
western part of the country will be
covered by the. district offices of the
forest service located in Missoula,
Mont; Denver, Colo; Albuquerque, N.
M; Ogden, Utah; San Francisco, CAL;
and Portland, Ore. The officers in
charge of these districts, being nearer
and thoroughly familiar with the
scene of operations, are able to secure
returns and compile results in less
time than if the work were all han
died from Washington.
1t is intended that preliminary
statements showing the production of
the principal species, such as yellow
pine, Douglas fir, white pine, and oak,
and also the production of the lead
ing states, will be issued as soon as
the figures are available. The i'm
portance of these annual statistics,
forest service officials say, is appar-
emily not fully realized by all of the
sawmill men, since past attempts to
gather similar data show a large
number often fail to reply promptly,
or neglect to make any report. A
better response has been received
from the lumber trade in late years,
and the officials in charge of the work
believe that with proper cooperation
on the part of the lumbermen final
figures showing the total production
can be announced by June, 1917.

Census of Lumber To Be
Undertaken By Forest Service

The census Of the lumber produc-
ton of the country for 1916 will be
undertaken by the forest service in
cooperation with the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association. The in
formation to be obtained by this work,
it is stated, will be of immense bene-
fit to the lumber industry, the forest
service, and other branches of the
government.
1t is estimated by the forest ser
vice that there are more than 10000
sswmills in the country and it is
planned to have the investigation
reach every sawmill in operation.
Each Of these will be asked to make
a detailed report of its production.
Information is sought as to the total

THE LOGICAL VIEWPOINT.

Big armies and big navies do not
prevent war.
Neither does lack of preparedness
insure peace.
''But this'is true-as the president
says: The nation with adequate
national defenses, consisting of an
army of sufficient size and a navy
that will command respect, is in bet
ter condition to meet war. And war
being a possibility why not be pre-
pared for it.?
1T will be too late, once a war be-
gins, to prepare for it.
This, as The News understands
it, is substantially the position taken
by the president, and it is the view
which must appeal most forcibly to
the average patriot.-Macon News.

"STRAFING THE HON. HOKE. >

THE esteemed Macon Telegraph,
which is fairly sane enough-or used
to be-on most subjects, never fails
to get itself wrought up whenever t
undertakes to discuss the Hon. IIoko
Smith, his doings and sayings.
Here, for instance, we find our
Macon contemporary almost foamir :
at the mouth because the Hon Hoke.
in the discharge of his duties as a
United States senator, takes the posi-
ton that a good way to compel Great
Britain to remove her embargo upon
cotton and other products of the
Southland, incidentally, to show a
greater respect for the rights of ner-
trails on the high seas--is for this
country to place an embargo upon
the sale of war munitions to any and
all of the belligerents. In which
position Senator Smith is, by no
means, alone, either in the United
States Senate, in Georgia, or in the
country at large.
and for this rather practical
perfectly patriotic and pro- American
9estion--though, as must be CON
fessed, it is not exactly pro-British
as is The Telegraph and so many
others-our Macon contemporary
takes him to task in this fashion:
In the first place, the policy he
50 brashly sets out to Cverturn was
set up by the president and the seer
taTy Of state, to whom the people
look in such times, and not to any
l0ud-mouthed senator who may want
to set up and fire the heavens with
his peroratiOns On the subject Hoke
Smith has attempted at times of he
most delicate stress to jam his ide as
through regardless of premises or
policy decided on by those with moro
authority and better opportunities.
too, for sizing up all the situation
than he. He has been dislOyal to
the president, rankly and selfishly
so he has been disloyal to his party
not the first line, either, in crit
cal times in the party's history be
cause the party is standing unques-
tioningly by the president and Hoke
Smith is not; he is disloyal to the
American people from whom he
comes in that his voice has been
raised only for money, never a word
as to the right or wrong of this war,
never a word as to any obligation on
our part to set our faces against the
butchery of innocents on the high
seas-Only that he must move hea-
ven and earth to get our cotton in
to German.
The Telegraph is charged with
impugning the motives of Hokl
Smith We admit that charge is
true, admit it freely and cheerfully
We believe they are of the most sell.
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1916-02-25

ish, the most unpatriotic, the most
single-idea-ed We never knew Hoko
Smith to be actuated by any othe.
kind. Ano being charged with en-
tertaining such an opinion against
him does not in the slightest hurt
cur feelings"
I'VE, sometimes almost half sus-
pect that The Macon Telegraph is in
clined to be opposed to the Hon. Hoke
Smith on general principles Blu,
be this as it may, there is no good
reason why it should so unfairly
misrepresent him and harshly assai,
him
In the first place, it is just rs
much the duty of a United States
senator to weigh and discuss matters
affecting our foreign relations, as
well as our internal affairs, as it is
the duty of the president to do so;
indeed, in the matter of foreign treat
les and relations, the president must
with the consent of the senate
'The Telegraph ought to know
this; in fact, it does know it and it
knows, also, perfectly well, that Sen
ator HOke Smith, or any other sens
tor, is well within his rights and the
line of duty when he openly DISGUISE
such questions on the floor of the
senate. Nor does it involve any
'dislOyalty" to the president, or to
the nation, for a senator, any more
than a private citizen, to disagree
with the president in a matter of
either foreign or domestic policy.
Such ali idea is preposterous on the
face Of It. We have not yet arrived
in this country at the point Of an
unquestioned dictatorship.
'Nor, again, is it true that Senator
Smith has not condemned "the butch
cry Of innOccnts on the high seas,
or expressed never a word" as to
the right OF wrong of this way. w
recall quite clearly, that he voiced
his horror at both; but in doing 50,
he did not undertake to espouse
Great Britain's cause-as The Tele-
graph has 50 persistently and un-
neutrally done
NO, the trouble with The Tele-
graph is, it does not like Hon. Hoke
Smith, whether he be right or wrong;
and it does love its mother country
whether it be right or wrong.
Real neutrals, however, can
clearly and periodically see where
in this country may we'll maintain
it's boasted-but now greatly abused
neutrality, while, at the same time
protecting its own interests and pre-
serving its own rights and integ-
rity. Augusta Chronicle

SPEAKING OF FISH STORIES,

Fish stories are a little out of sea-

Once upon a time. quite recently.
of course, couple of well known Ma
rietta gents went bird hunting, whic"
is pretty common thing for Mari

story is that one of the gentlemen
in question was telling Judge Gam
about the hunt.
Whom we ate lunch" he said
we had just ten birds, bat at four
O'Clock we counted up and we had
fifty" Now that part of the tale is
all right because the law allows a
man to kill as many as twenty five
birds in a day and two men, OF
course, can kill fifty But right here

Which one killed the most?"
