that he Is making a fight for the

THAT he is their sole bulwark against

It's Ohio birth and Is coming back to

sorry a spectacle OF himself In his
Columbus speech as possible to

The particularly offensive bunk to
which the Star referred was this
from Johnson's speech: TT Is with
shame as an American citizen that
l say that to-day the most humili-
ating character In all American his
tory is President Taft"
The star went on TO say that John
sons utterance did not make this
true and charged him with being
blinded by the Bull Moose frenzy. But
II added that johnson was Governor
OF state and as such proclaimed
Taft the most humiliatlng figure.
Then II said; lie puts him beneath
Benedict Arnold, who Is more like
Roosevelt, for he won Ms country's
plaudits and turned traitor when he
might have gained in n victory. He
put him beneath Aaron Burr, the only
equal OF Roosevelt in arrogance, self
ishness and intolerance in all Amer
lean history. The Ma
ton made a very unfavorabla esti-
mate OF johnson at the Republican
National Convention.

overbearing disposition and ungov-
ernable temper; the same ruthless
ness in disresarding the ties OF
friendship, gratitude and reverence;
the same tendency to bully and brow

egotism and greed for power and the
same mental tendency generally. II

SAMUEL GOMFERS AND
THE AMERICAN LEGION

81 cannot see any reason why ex-
service men, whether members of or
gained labor or not members of or
canned labor, should not join The
American Legion"
These are the words of Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, written to the
secretary Of the union labor council
in California.
1t seems unnecessary to relate
here that Gompers has a reputation
for Tearlessness and for devotion to
his organization. If Gompers thought
for an instant that The American
Legion was inimical to the cause of
labor, no one who knows him can
imagine that he would hesitate to
say so and to warn union men
men against affiliating themselves
with the Legion.
But GomDers knows there is no
clash between the purpose of the
American Federation of Labor and
The American Legion. individuals
in one organization may have their
differences of opinions with individ-
uals IN the other, but that cannot
mean that the organizations are at
odds.
Gompers Cannot see any reason
for union labor men not joining The
Legion; as matter of fact, no such
reason exists. His statement rather
effectually confounds the efforts of
certain "borers from within" to make
it appear that labor has a quarrel
with The Legion.

BIG MONEY RAISING
TREE CROPS ON FARM

Washington, April 28.-The for
est lands held by farmers in the
Southern States constitute total of
1874, 100000 acres, which is more
one-third of all the farm lands in
that section, says a recent Farmers
Bulletin from the Department of
Agriculture.
81 may surprise some to know that
farm woodlands represent more than
one-half of the entire forest land in
the Southern states, including the
great holdings of the lumber COM
panies, and yield annually about
S94, 100000 worth of timber prod
ucts. Of this amount nearly one
half is sold in the form of logs, other
cut products, and as standing tim
Der. The remainder is used on the
farm"
To make farming pay better by
showing the way to the more profit
able marketing of farm timber is one
of the principal objects of farm for
estry. Some owners use timber that
ought to be sold, while others sell
timber that ought to be used on the
farm. The foremost purpose of
woodlands is to supply firewoOd,
posts, rails, poles and rough building
lumber for the maintenance and i'm
provement Of the farm. Millions of
young pines which have been shaded
out and have gone to waste in old
field stands would have made fence
posts and given ten to twenty years
of service if they had been properly
treated with creosote; on the other
hand, choice white oak butts have
been made into fence posts because
they worked easily" notwithstand-
ing the fact that less than mile
away there was a sawmill which
wanted such logs for quarter saw
ing at $40 per 1000 feet.
Small-sized trees are being cut for
ties, poles and cordwood which should
be left for additional growth and en-
tire woodlands which contain con-
siderable choice timber, much more
valuable for lumber, have been cut
clean for nothing but ties.
High-grade logs Of white oak, vel
low popular, red gum, ash, cherry,
black walnut, etc., says this bulletin,
can in most cases be sold in carload
lots direct to the manufacturing
plants, even though these are located
considerable distances away.
Steep slopes, poor soil, rocky land,
unused corners, quilted land and wet
land afford places for growing tim
Der profitably, these various classes

IMPROVING CROSSINGS

City Engineer Willis has a large
force of men taking up the culverts
in the north part of the city and
replacing them with boxes which will
greatly add to the appearance of the
streets and which can be maintained

The boxes extend across the entire
street instead of only part of the
way, as did the culverts. This will
