MUST NOT HAMSTRING' LUM-
RER INDUSTRY

There are two bills before the U. S
Congress, either of which if passed
will have very great bearing on the
lumber industry of the Pacific Coast,
says the Manufacturer. They are
the Capper Bill and the Smell Bill.
Both bills are aimed to protect the
timber resources of the nation. But
the Capper Bill seeks to accomplish
its purpose by complete federal con-
troll of forest lands and forest indus
try regardless of cost or hardship to
existing industry and without respect
to property rights.
Contrasted with the proposed.
piece of autocratic legislation which
would make a government monopoly
out of the largest industry in the
west, we have the Smell Bill, which
provides for carrying out its aims on
the time -honored principle that the
governments proper part is to en-
courage and bear its due financial
share of locally determined program,
as one beneficiary, and with imperial,
helpful influence; not to attempt to
govern at long range, imposing the
cost locally, with certainty of re-
sentiment and conflict.
The whole tenor Of the Smell bill
is towards such cooperative regula
ton of industry and not toward ar
bitrary one-man power or bureau
cratic regulation; it contemplates
schools rather than penitentiaries in
order to bring about the desired re-
suit; it not only provides for the tim

AWOKE TO WRITE
HIS WAR MESSAGE
Wilson Penned Famous Docu.
ment on Back Porch of
White House.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J.. July s.
President Wilson's famous war mes
sage was not dictated at his office
as part OF a days routine, as has
been generally believed, but was
written under unusual circum-
stances after days and nights of
hard thinking. This was disclosed
yesterday by william C. RedheId:
Secretary OF Commerce in the Will
son Cabinet. as he chatted with
friends at hotel here.
The President had thought and
worried days and nights over his
war message. but ii seemed the
words for which he yearned would
not come" said Mr. Redfeld. "One
evening he retired, quite discour-
aged. about IL o'clock. Two hours
later he was awakened by the force
Of his inspiration. At last he real
lied he had within his grasp
thoughts which had been eluding
him. He switched On the light, sat
on the side Of his bed and jotted
down geographically the swiftly
coming thoughts. When he had his
message well under way he put on
his batrobe and took his pencil and
paper to the back porch.
About an hour later Mrs. Wilson
was awakened by the light which
the President had forgotten to turn
off. She looked for him and finally
discovered him on the porch. She
inquired solicitously about him. but
he assured her he was all right,
though little hungry. That was
enough for Mrs. Wilson. She went to
the kitchen. not disturbing the
maid. and delved into the refrigera-
tor. She took out some milk and
carried it to the President with a
box of crackers and he was CRATE
ful for her attention.

SHIELDS DEFENDS
ANTPETOL LAW
Says It Would Not Restrict
Use Of Legitimate
|, Weapons.

Former Assistant Secretary 'f
War Crowell. on behalf Of the Army
Ordnance Association. Of which ne
is president. Is opposing the Shields
anti gun-toting bill to prohibit IN
terstate transportation of pocket
pistols and revolvers on the ground
that such a law would operate TO
impair the function Of the army
for national defense.
In a letter to Senator Shields MT
Crowell said:
I'VE are Informed that the pas
sage of this bill would restrict the
manufacture Of pistols and revoiv-
ers to the quantities bought by the
army, navy and Marine Corps. In
asmuch as the termination Of che
war left the military services with
great reserves Of these weapons, IL
will be many years before the war
and navy departments again become
heavy purchasers OF .tnssn trims.
Thus. the passage OF this Dill
would destroy the industry upon
which this government must rely IN
case of war not only for its pistols
and revolvers, but largely for It's
machine guns and similar weapons.
and in the event Of another emerg-
ency there would be no establish
ed industry to which the govern
ment could turn for these tndis-
pensable arms"
In reply Senator Shields wrote
Mr.. Crowell:
You have evidently misunder-
stood the terms and purn~s>s OF
this bill. 1t does not prohibit the
shipment of such pictols as are
ordinarily used in the United States
army and navy. but especially ex-
cludes them from its prohibition.
"The several States Of the Union
all have laws prohibiting the carry
ing OF firearms OF the class the
transportation of which is intend
ed to be prohibited. and. with few
exceptions. all have laws prohibit
ing the sale Of such firearms. These
laws haved proved abortive because
the manufacturers Of small pistols
advertise their wares in the papers
circulating in the States and ship
them by mail or express to anyone
desiring them in the State. and thus,
through the mails and through the
interstate commerce carriers they
have interfered with local govern.
ment and the States police power
in their efforts to suppress crime.
THE small arms are not used m
warfare. nor are they necessary To
enable the citizen to keep arms in
his home for defense. The large
pistols are the ones used for these
purposes, and are best suited for
these purposes. The small pistols
which are carried concealed about
the person: are used for the purpose
or executing vengeance. robbery,
assassination and murder, and not
for any lawful purpose"
