THE FIRST POLITICIAN
MARTIN VAN BUREN, was tn

MARTIN VAN BUREN, was the
IVA first machine made politician In
the presidency. and he was more than
that when put to the test; he was the
first Of the presidents to have been
born under the American nag, rather
than under the British, and he and
Roosevelt are the only presidents not
wholly descended from Inhabitants Of
the United Kingdom.
Sprung from Dutch families on both
sides, Van Buren married into Dutch
family, and was able to speak the
language Of his ancestors. He was
born and he died In a little Rip Van
Winkle village on the east bank Of
the Hudson, where his father was a
farmer and incidentally tavern keep
er. Leaving school and entering a law
office In his native town at fourteen,
after the manner of most American
leaders from Jackson to Lincoln, he
picked up as he went along such ed
ucation as he gained. Yet not. one
of cur many lawyer presidents has
won higher rank In his profession.
While only boy so small that he
had to stand on bench to address
the jury. he scored his FIRST success at
the bar. At forty, he retiped from
practice with money enough for a man
with Dutch thrift, which was mis-
taken for stinginess by the less pru.

We are not advised as to parti-

suits Of last Tuesdays election are
construed as "a remarkable gain" for
the national Non-partisan league In
q statement to the Associated Press
today by Oliver s Morris. director Of
league publicity and editor Of its ma
tional publication
League candidates polled more
than 100000 votes In 1920 In nine

more than three times the vote Of
two years ago. and is remarkable
gain In Republican landslide year
Although the league candidates
for state oifice in Minnesota were de-
feated by large majorities. men en-
dorsed by the League in Wisconsin
and North Dakota were elected gov
ernor. and In North Dakota. the first
Non-partisan United States Senator

I'VE increased our membership in

tives from four to SIX" Mr. Morris

PAYING FOR WANToN WASTE
Settlers Have Lived to Regret the
Ruthless Destruction Of Their
Black Walnut Trees.

Not many years ago the settlers of
the middle West were glrdling black
walnut trees In order to kill them, the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle OBJ
serves. They were too lazy to cut
them down and took this method to
destroy the life Of the trees, so that
they might plant corn and sow grain
among the dead and leafless trees.
In some localities mills were saving
the walnut logs into lumber for all
purposes even for boarding, floors
and clapboards, inside finish and
everything that could be made from
1t; and many a good walnut board has
been split up for kindling.
Walnut was then cheap and plenti.
full. The settlers wanted to clear the
land. and no one thought that the
timber would become exhausted. Then
the forests were full Of grand old
trees, any one of which would today
pay the possessor the purchase price
OF many acres OF lanu.
Today walnut Is hard to find and
the price Is very high, as is Illustrated
by the fact that Maryland farmer
recently sold four old walnut stnmps
for $1,0OO-just such stumps as the
farmers worked hard to pull and burn
to get them out Of the way.
Walnut Is not alone In Its scarcity,
but the many purposes for which wal
nut could be used made It wood Of
great value, and now efforts are being
made to ref0rest the denuded lands
with black walnut. II Is safe TO as
sumo that those little trees will be
watched with great care until they
grow to merchantabl" size, and then
others will be set to replace the cut
tings. There will be no more ruth
less destruction Of the forests, wheth
er It be walnut or any other variety
Of wood. The people have learned n
lesson; costly one, It Is true, but
one that will never be forgotten.
The demands for timber are such
that all governments are now pro
tecting the forests. and the time Is not
far distant when the owners Of timber
and timber lands will be the men to
whom the people will take Off their
hats, and to whom they will even get
down upon their knees. so to speak,
for timber will be king.
