unfortunately become the subject of
bitter partisan controversy, it ia dif
ficult for any newipaper to discuss
the subject without being suspected
of undo influence of aome sort This
aewspa;.er iray be pardon!, there

and is entitled "Follow Yoar Nose.'
It lays, in part:
The official text of the Constitu

Doblisbed by every unponani
newspaper ia the United States. Get
that official text and read it for your
self, with plain horse sense.
Yon will then see what ground
then ia for these senatorial bogeys.
It does not destroy the sovereignty of
the United States. It does not and
cannot infringe the Constitution of
the United States, for that cannot be
changed in any respect except in the
manner which itself prescribes. It
does not put our army and navy at
the arbitrary disposal of anybody. It
does not in the least restrict our free
dom to protect ourselves from at
tack by Mexico or any other stato.
It does not leave us helpless to de
termine our own immigration policy.
"Any possible federation of nations
must be essentially like a partnership
among, individuals.
"If the United States is going to
assume that it can trust nothing at
all to the good faith and common hon
esty of any of its prospective part
ners in the Leagoe, or to their desire
for friendly relations with os, tnen
any league ia out of the question. If
we can take no chance on internation

to competitive armaments, with a
.million men and equipment re.... fi
instant call and a billion a year for
the navy. That ia the choice before
us.

Lumber Mills Krfuaing Orders
Producers of west coast lumber are
over-sold. Orders hnve- exceeded pro
duction for the past two months. Mil!
stocks are depleted. Physical condi
tions of manufacturing properties ni
cessitate such extensive repairs dur
ing July and August thnt heavily re
stricted Immediate production is cer
tain. Notwithstanding the heavy volume
of business booked and offering, the
industry, as a whole, is not prosper
ous. Costs, held somewhat in cheek
on a high level, through government
al regulation during war times, are
again showing disposition to pyra
mid. The composite cost statement
of 40 representative mills for the
nonth'of April, shows that the pro
diction of a thousand feet of lum
ber cost $-'1.54. The composite sales
report of the same mills indicate a
return of $20.68 per thousand feet,
or, considering the bulk of the indus-
j try, a losa of Sfie nn every thousand
leet or lumber inanuiiicturetl during
the month of April.
The condition of the lumber indus
try shows that there is no likelihood
of S'jmber being cheaper in the near
future. Steel has advanced and cop.
per Is advancing. The man who now was evidenced this morning when
holds up building operations await- three carload of people runipsttiig or
lug a drop in prices, haa a long wait
ahead.
