"A perfect tire is simply a matter

But standards come first. For In

IMPEACHMENTs.

Apropos of the resolution before congress
looking to the impeachment or removal from
Office CT Assistant Secretary Of Labor Post, it
may be noted that the senate has heretofore set
nine times as court OF impeachment In three
cases the accused officials were removed from
office. In enc case, that of Senator Blount, Of
tennessee, the accused resigned his seat and the
proceedings were dropped. The other trials re-
suited in acquittals. The officials impeached
and removed were all judges-John Pickering,
Judge of the United States district court re-
moved in 1904; West Ii. Humphreys, judge OF
the same court, removed in 1862, and Robert
". Archbold, associate judge of the United
States. commerce court, removed in 1913. The
most famous case was that Of Andrew Johnson,
president of the United States, impeached and
acquitted by ma ority of one vote in 1868. In
England impeachment proceedings have gen
orally been successful, and on such occasions
party feeling ran rancorously high. Some of
the accused were extraordinary maefactors
while others were high-lninded innocent men,
Eut during the stormy centuries when those lib
critics we fell heir to were gained and main
tained, many high British officials-often the
highest in the realnl-lost their heads.

THE PAPER SHORTAGE.

Santa Ana, Cal, Register: The
question of shortage of print paper is
something not generally understood
outside the publishing and printing
business. People wonder why there
should be a shortage and why in
creased production has not kept pace
with increased consumption as in
other lines. Here are some of the
elements Of the problem. The manu-.
facture of paper from wood fiber has
developed within the last fifty years,
but with accelerated speed during
the last decade. The use of news
print alone has increased more than
200 per cent. in twenty years, al
though the newspapers use but % per
cent. OF the total of wood pulp paper
produced. In six years the price in
large quantities has advanced from
cents pound to 81 cents. Ten years
ago the United States produced it's
entire supply of pulp wood, but now
it imports two-thirds Of it's consump-
ton. This means added cost off pro-
duction. We bought from Canada
last year 100000 tons Of pulp and
prices advanced from $40 cord to
as high as S25. Canada has increased
the number of her pulp mills 81 per
cent. in ten yers, while only one news
print plant has been constructed in
the United States since 1909. Paper
mills cannot follow the receding tim
Der supply into the forests as do the
sawmills. Much pulp wood is now
freighted 500 miles
There is. much criticism Of the
newspapers for waste of paper, but
the above statistics show that it is
not newspaper consumption which is
making the wood pulp supply made
quate to the demand. The newspapers
consume only % per cent The news
paper publishers are themselves sur-
feting from the high prices and the
difficulty Of keeping supplied with
stock as a result of the tremendous
increase in paper consumption in
multitude of other forms than pub
fishing papers. Seventy eight per
cent. of all the paper is consumed in
some other way. No possible economy
and restriction of use on the part OF
newspaper publishers can put an end
to either the shortage or the high
prices, else they would have been
ended before now. The matter is
deeper than that. The American For
estry association suggests several
remedies. such as the developm.ct or
the pulp industry in the great forests
Of the northwest and Alaska, the pra-
motion Of reforestation in cutoyer
areas, by perpetuating forest areas.
