the independence of -hich President
Roosevelt is the leading exponent.
a.noo.ooo moke men at work.
The New York World prints an ex
haustive review of the revival of In
dustry following the election, show
ing that 1,000,000 men are marching
briskly forward to reopened fac
tories, freshly whirring looms and
spindles and to railroad and other
shops.
From every section of the United
States the whistles of the shops and
factories are shrieking a rousing wel
come to the battalions of employes
who are responding promptly to the
call for more help to man the plants
which have been entirely closed or
practically out of commission pend
ing the result of the national elec
tion. In each quarter of the nation
smoke pours from xthe chimneys of
establishments which have , been
working reduced forces of men at
half time. Rush orders for addition
al equipment have poured Into the of
fices of machinery builders in vol
ume sufficient to swamp them and
creating at once a tremendous de
mand for additional employes.
All along the line the word has
been passed that prosperity has ar
rived, simultaneously with the elec
tion of William H. Taft, and, like a
Slant, the business .and manufactur
ing Interests have been roused from
the pre-election lethargy and, shak
ing off the shackles of uncertainly
and distrust of radical changes in
economic conditions, have ordered
the fires rekindled and the forces
doubled.
THE TARIFF WILL HE REVISED.
Tariff revision is likely to be a
preferred subject in the legislative
programme at the national capital.
In an interview on Wednesday Mr.
Taft, the president-elect, declared
that n revision of the tariff is es
pecially urgent, and on. the same day
Chairman Payne of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House of
Representatives issued from his home
in Auburn, N. Y., a call for hearings
on the tariff. Those hearings will
begin on Tuesday next, November
10, and will continue until Decem
ber 1, the Friday ureceding the
meeting of Congress, the sessions be
ginning at 9:30 a. m., each day. Mr.
Payne says that the programme ar
ranged allows more than double the
tlmo hitherto given on any tariff
bill, it is understood that much
preliminary work has already been
done in preparation for the hearings.
Information relative to the subjects
covered by each paragraph has been
supplied by experts in the technical
bureaus of the government, and data
as to manufacturing conditions
abroad have been furnished by tho
Departments of Stato and of Com
merce and Labor. Suggestions for
changing the language of tho several
paragraphs so ns to meet decisions
of tho courts hae also been drawn.
It is urged by tho committee that
where possiblo n particular subject
should bo presented by ono person,
so ns to save the tlmo of tho com
mittee, which is necessarily limited.
It is intimated that tho bill to bo
presented by tho conuuitteo will, in
nil probability, impose both maxi
mum nnd minimum duties. Tho bo
Jlef seems to bo entertained In Wash
ington that n tariff revision bill will
bo enacted In tlmo to go into effect nt
tho beginning of tho next fiscal year.
CARELESS LETTER WRITERS.
AVhon it is known that over 100,
000,000 misdirected letters are
mailed every year in tho United
States it is tlmo that something is
done to educato the peoplo to uso

--L.-
TO STUDY TIMIIER CONSERVA
TION'. The future development of the
lumber industry in this country lies
in the direction of a closer utiliza
tion of forest products. Both forest
ers and practical lumbermen now
agree on this point.
Just wuat can be done In this
field is well Illustrated In the oper
ations at the mill of the Great South
ern Lumber Company, which has just
reopened Its plant at Bogalusa,'
Louisiana, in response to the in
creased demand for lumber after the
recent slump In business. This is
perhaps tne largest sawmill in the
United States, if not in the world,
and is capable of turning out the
enormous amount of 600,000 feet of
sawn lumber board measure per day.
A reader can get a fair Idea of this
quantity of lumber when he is told
that its output is enough, to build a
little town of forty houses, along
with a good-sized church and a school
house every day.
This company was quick to grasp
the significance of the rapid deple
tion of timber resources. Last year
It began a co-operative Investigation
in wood utilization with the United
States Forest Service and arrange
ments have just been completed for
a renewal of the experiments. The
work will be along practical lines
and will be aimed to secure a closer
utilization of the products of the
southern lumber mills and at the
came time produce a margin of profit
in excess of that obtained by the
methods which are now practiced.
The field for work along this line
is broad. It is will known that the
superior grades of lumber are ob
tained from old mature trees, provid
ed they are not weakened by decay or
other influences. In other words, a
thousand feet board measure of lum
ber, sawed from a tree two feet In
diameter, costs less and Is worth
more than a thousand feet sawed
from a tree only eight inches in
diameter . Moreover, timber cut
from young trees usually contains a
large amount of sapwood. If ties,
poles, etc., are cut from such mater
ial, they will decay far more rapidly
than if cut from heartwood. It is
not good business policy, however,
in a great many cases to saw the
most valuable timber into commodi
ties which are relatively low in cost,
such as ties and poles. It is the in
tention therefore, of the company to
find out just what size and classes of
timber can be best utilized for the
cheaper commodities when given a
preservative treatment.
To this end a careful study will be
made to ascertain the amount and
value of tho produqts sawed from
trees of different sizes and just how
each can be best utilized so as to se
cure greatest economy and profit.
For example, can a tree eight inches
in diameter be best utilized for ties
or for flooring, and how will the
profits compare if treated with those
sold untreated? It seoms reasona
ble to suppose that the profits de
rived from the sale of treated tim
ber will exceed those from untreated
timber.
Moreover, the greater use of chem
lyically preserved wood will undoubt
edly result in that wood giving a
greater life In service. Hence, tho
amount of timber cut annually in the
United States, simply to replace that
which has decayed, will be material
ly decreased, and a further conser
vation of forest resources will result.
Recent estimates by the Forest Ser
vico place this reduction at 10 per
cent of the total timber cut. The
practical benefits of these experi
ments and of the Investigations for
tho utilization of sawmill waste are
at once apparent.
THE DAY OF MILLIONS.
Wo Americans have gotten so in
tho habit of talking "millions," that
wo have literally cheapened tho ordi
nary estimates in which tho common
er phases of human comfort nnd In
dulgence were wont to be regarded.
It is a bad sign. Tho poorer of us
must measure our lack of means by
gunges that emphnslzo the actualities,
and make us the poorer in the awful
contrast, while tho ordinary, quiet
venture, Involving meagro thousands,
is mado comparatively contemptible
in tho light of the braggart excesses
of the day. Marshfleld is ono of the
cities of tho land absolutely without
a millionaire; but we all gabble mil
lions with tho samo unction and
spirit ns If wo were a treasure cen
ter of tho universe. It has its comi
cal sido; but it is a bad sign, all tho
samo.
Tho Cnnndlan government Is ox
ponding grent sums of monoy In
now railroad construction, in impro
vements of waterways, in industrial
bounties, subsidies to steamships nnd
In various other ways to develop tho
country.
Tho reclamation of tho marsh lands
of tho United States Is ono of tho
most Important natural develop
ments confronting us at this time.

VANITY".
The sun comes up and the sun goes
down,
And day and night are the same as
one;
The year grows green, and the year
grows brown,
And what is it all, when all is
done?
Grains of somber or shining
sand,
Gliding into or out of the
hand.
And men go down in ships to the
seas,
And a hundred ships are the same
as one;
And backward and forward blows the
breeze,
And what is it all, when all is
done?
A tide with never a shore in
sight, i
Getting steadily on to the
night.
The fisher dropped his net in the
stream,
And a hundred streams are the
same as one.
And the maiden dreameth her love
lit dream,
And what is it all, when all Is
done?
The net of the fisher the
burden breaks,
And always the dreaming
dreamer wakes.
ANON.
The satisfaction a man has in los
ing his money on a bet Is that his
family didn't spend it foolishly.
"No," declared Mr. Nagget, "there
never was a woman on earth who
could refrain from turning around
to rubber at some other woman's
clothes."
"No?" remarked his wife, sweetly.
"Didn't you ever hear of Eve?
Teacher Yes, dear children, every
American boy has a chsnee to be
president.
Small boy I don't wantjto be
president.
Teacher Don't want to be presi
dent! Why, what do you want to be,
Willie?
Small boy I want to be a cham
peen second baseman.
What a great misfortune this is,
tho habit of considering the weather!
of thinking that we must consider
the weather. It Is largely due, is it
not, to clothes? No mention is made
of rain in tho Garden of Eden; but
we must not, therefore, contend that
rain was disagreeable and omitted;
we must recollect that Adam and
Eve did not need to consider rain;
furthermore, in blessed Ignorance,
they did not know that It whs any
thing to be considered.
To mind the rain no more than
the May sunshine, but to plunge into
it and let tho drops pelt as they will?
to accept it without a thought of
discomfort, but, rather, to enjoy the
thronging presence of it; to pursue
ono's daily stint regardless of
whether the sky be dun or blue
this Is a state which we long, long
have lost.
Wo regain it, some of us, In the
wilderness camp, where wo hunt, or
fish, if the day bo dark or if the
day be bright. And where wo find
that tho dash of the soft rain on
one's faco is not death, after all;
thnt wetness and dryness are mere
ly relative terms.
All the centuries of fussing and
fuming with the weather have not
affected tho weather ono particle; it
still rains, and snows, and sleets, and
blows, just as dictated by circum
stances. Therefore what's tho uso?
Are your puny diatribes, or mine, of
any greater potency than those of
othors gono beforo? Evidently not;
accordingly try tho plan of being
friendly with tho wenthor of agree
ing with it instead of fighting It
and, 'pon my word, presently It will
bo ngreolng with you. E. L. Sabln.
