combe about the danger Of destroying our forests by
cutting the timber our needs demand As timber De-
comes searcer and more expensive, we shall gradual,
lv adopt other materials, brick, stone, concrete ana
steel Moreover, it has been demonstrated that a tar
if policy which invites importation OF Canadian Ium-
Der encourages waste, for, when in competition with
the Canadian lumberman, the American ZIMMERMAN
uses only the best of the tree, leaving the poorer ana
eoarser part TO decay or be burned IN the forest
upon the same principle as any other tariff. II pro
lection is right in principle it should be applied TO
every industry in which the cost of production is hlgh-
ar under the American standard of living and cost OF
materials than in the country with which our indus
tries compete. Canada has a system OF selling TIM
Der from the public lands which gives the lumoerman
of the dominion an advantage over the American pro
Queer. There is also alleged to be a lower labor cost
in Canada. Whether this difference exists, ana what
the extent the difference is, may be a matter OF
doubt, but when it is demonstrated that there is a
difference in cost of production, there should no long
err be any doubt that lumber will be given a protect
i've tariff on exactly the same principle that Is toi-
lowed in the tariff act in general

PROTECTION ON LUMBER.

Professed advocates OF protection once in a while
express rather peculiar views on tariff questions. One
for instance argues in favor Of free trade in lumber,
in order that we may use Canadian timber and save
our own. He fears that our forests will be depleted.
Such argument means, If it means anything, that
while we are saving our timber, our logging camps
will be closed, sawmills will cease saving, planning
mills will hum no longer on this side of the border
while north Of the boundary Canadian mills will be
working at full capacity and new sawmills will be
erected to supply the demand. Canadian lumbermen
will be drawing, wages which they will spend for
Canadian clothing, Canadian food and Canadian serv-
ices of numerous kinds
We cannot save our forests without buying else
where. If free trade will result in buying Canadian
lumber. then there will be q diminution in demand
for American lumber, with less employment for
American labor and less buying of American goods.
If saving our timber is the proper policy, then let us
extend the policy. For fear that the fertility of our
farms will be depleted, let us buy crops produced in
Canada. For fear our mineral Deposit will be ex-
hausted let US purchase, all our minerals abroad. Lest
some of our men Of genius break down under the
nerve strain of great ~exertion, let us save their en-
ergies by employing Canadians to,direct our great in
dustrial enterprises. what few we have left after clos
ing a lot of them to conserve our resources.

LEGALLY QUESTIONED.

At the election on May 10th, to vote upon a state
bond issue for road purposes, Sheridan county not
only voted heavily for the issue, but voted over
whelmingly in 1avor of a county issue of 100000.
The county authorities advertised the sale and pre-
pared to market the securities, and did effect a sale
to a Chicago bond brokerage house Of excellent re
pute, subject to the usual condition that legality Of
the issue be established.
Upon the data submitted the attorney of the broker
age house cites two principal reasons for declining
the bonds. The one that the notice of the election
failed to specifically designate the polling places in
each precinct. The second reason given is that the
electorate has almost doubled since the last election
on account of the Acknowledgement of women and
that the vote on the bonds was carried by two small
a majority. -
The reasons assigned by the bond houses attorney
are mere subterfuge. The regularity of the proceed
ings are in conformity to Wyoming statutes, and
Wyoming is the original womans suffrage state.
There has been no change in her status since terri
torial days and when the state was admitted to the
union in 1890 the organic law gave the franchise to
women on an equality with men. The Sheridan au-
thorities are of the opinion that the failure to take
up the bonds under the agreement is based not upon
the illegality of the issue, but upon the present adj
verse bond market.
If further legal analysis places doubt upon the is
sue the county commissioners will resubmit the ques-
ton Of isue and if carried will await a more favor

Times are changing, I am glad

Hard times are putting a crimp
in the divorce business They're

they are no longer considered to

bona fide claims.
But during the abnormal period

suits filed were those brought by.
parties who regarded them as
luxuries or lived in childless

permits a wife to spend a good
