 s. c. Grove, member of the city fire department, and over whom the whole disruption of the department is said to have originated, yesterday stated to The Age-Herald that he is in nd way connected with the so- called shake up in department af- fairs and disclaims any credit for seeking the retirement of the veteran chief or other members, but who Is also understood to be slated for the position held by Chief Middleton.
 While denying implication in the unearthed plan to shatter the ef- ficiency of the depar rtment, rowe, in another part of his statement, takes fling at the chief of the de- partment which, the tenor of his statement tends to show was in- spired by his discharge from the local force and subsequent rein statement by Commissioner cloe. In reference to this, Grove says:
 tsAs for the seeking to advise MT. CIoe in regard to matters pertaining to the department,this
 deny. but I have stood ns all fimes ready to ee-operate Cor the betterment of working con- dftions and efficiency of the de- parmcnt. There has been a dis- positiDH nt all times on the part of s. A. Mtddiesand and J. A. Browning to keep up agitation and dissatlsfaetion among the si, firemen.

 Grove bitterly; arraiens function ing of the department of which he Is member. with the assertion con-, tained in his signed statement that:

 "Commissioner Cloe says he Ia moving two of the men im the fire department for scause.' Az to that can't say. but I am sat- irfied of one thing and that is that we are having first class fire protection. If there nre to he removals good reasons should he shown.
 "Chfef Middleton fs first class fire fighter in whom the people have faith. He has dem onstrnted his ability to handle fires with as little loss as pos- sibie. As long ms we are pro- tected NO efficiently I would gret to see Chief Middleton or any of his assistnnts Eo."
 II am opposed to firing any men in fhe fire department SO long as they prove efficient" said Sol Caheen. "In the last few years the fire department has been on the Job. We have had few fires of any magnitude and they were remarkably well handled.
 "I am willing to leave the mat ter up to the fire underwriters. They nre familiar with the situ- ntfon. but I ann surc they wilt say that fire risks have been ex- trcmely low since Middleton has been chief of the department"

quently sighted which could not be
found on the latest and most anthem
tic maps CT the territory. Tales of
unknown water bodies are constantly
being brought in by trappers and
p~rospectors. Less than a year ago a
lake 40 miles long and a half mile
wide was discovered at the head of
Short Bay. This lake has over 1000
acres of surface area and is less than
and and a quarter miles from tide
water, yet because of the surrounding
country's rough Typography has re-
manned unknown and unnamed.
Recognizing that many other OF
these lost lakes may be sources OF
valuable water power, the forest ser
vice has laid plans to map this nc

aerial photographs. A few Gays

THE PRIMARY PURPOSE.

"The primary purpose of a tariff is
to raise revenue" says the New York
Journal of Commerce. Not on your
life! The primary purpose of a tariff
is to protect national industries from
unrestricted foreign competition. The
Journals idea is the Democratic idea.
If the Democrats could put~it over.
hey would be glad to pass a tariff
rw with an adj valorem of 5 per cent,
SO that ten billion dollars worth of
imports would yield $500, 900 900 in
ustoms revenues. But the Republic

Nalorem tariff of 20 per cent, which,
on imports totaling $500 900,

Senator Simmons wanted the higher
duty or lumber, and his views on the
subject were expressed in the follow
ing quotation read by Senator Nc
Lean:
The bill under consideration re-
duces the duty upon rough lumber
that is, sawed board-from 81 to 81
per thousand feet. The equivalent
advalorem rates are respectively,
about l per cent and 5A per cent. l
am opposed to this reduction and in
favor OF retaining the present duty
upon lumber because the present rate
is upon q revenue basis and because
the proposed reduction will probably
not reduce the price Of lumber to the
farmer or home-builder, or, if at all,
only slightly and in a comparatively
limited area, while it would work
great hardship to the lumber industry
and the sections of the country in
which this industry is conducted by
charging the market zone Of Canada
for this product"
Mr.. Simmons was willing that great
hardship should be inflicted upon the
silk manufacturing industry, or the
wool manufacturing industry, which
nave no particular interest to his
state, but he protested vehemently
against a reduction of the tariff on
lumber because his constituents are
producers OF lumber. The important
point OF his address, however, is that
ne acknowledged that reduction of the
Tariff would not reduce the price OF
lumber enough to compensate Tor the
injury that would be done TO the Am.
erican lumber producer.

DEMOCRAT WANTED
LUMBER PROTECTED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-One aft
another the Democratic senators
are forced to testify to the funda-
mental soundness and efficiency of a
protective tariff. Ashurst, of Ari-
IONA, was an early supporter of a
protective duty on long staple cotton.
Hefling, of Alabama, came willingly
to the support of a protective duty on
graphite. Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
stood for protection of potash. DEM
ocratic senators from wool and beet
sugar states went to the aid Of the
industries in which their constituents
were interested. But one of the lat
est to be quoted in support of protec-
ton is the leader of the Democratic
membership of the Senate finance
committee, Simmons, of North Caro-
lima.
A few days ago the senate was con-
sidering the silk schedule, and Sim.
mons was attacking the proposed du-
ties on silk yarn and silk cloth. He
was insisting that silk had become not
a luxury but a necessity, and was pro-
testing against imposing a heavy tax
on this necessity, assuming that if q
duty is imposed, it will enhance the
price of silk goods in corresponding
degree, Notwithstanding the demon
strated fact that importers always
charge all the public will pay, if they
have control Of the market. Sena-
tor Mclean, OF Connecticut, answered
with facts to prove that the silk in
dustry had been built up in this coun-
try under protection and now affords
employment to 100000 people and
support for not less than 100000
men, women and children.
Then, to show the utter inconsist
ency of Simmons in his attitude on
the tariff, Senator Mclean quoted
from an address by Simmons in 1905
when the lumber schedule was under
consideration. LAUNDERING is n OF
the chief industries of North Caro-
lima, and the lumber of that regi0T
is shipped into the northern state:
east of the Mississippi river. Undel
