WEST LEADS THE WAY IN FOREST PROTECTION j Washington. I). May I ft.?A earn paign to arouse public sent i in cut for the better protection of forests against lire that promises to become nation wide has been started in the west and is rapidly gaining headway, it is announced by the forest serviie, of the I'nited States de partiaent of agriculture. The governors of a number of western states have issued proclamations designating May ii.'t 2tt as '-forest protection week." anil iircinc till citi/i-ii- tlmt tlu-v imito ?i host efforts to prevent mnl suppress for est tires. In addition the movement has the Motive support of elmrelies. eominer rial associations, rotary clubs, selioots. fraternal societies,hihI a nuiiilier of other organizations. The object of forest protection week is to bring forcibly home to the public the need of care to prevent tires from starting, and of energetic efforts to put out forest tires quickly, if they do start. The new movement is unprecedented in this country ami will la* of much im portance in safeguarding the nation's forests and spreading the demand for their lietter safeguarding, officials of the forest service state. The west, they say. is now gradually a live to the importance of keeping tire out of the woods. This *i* partly because of the great value of the present stand of timber, but it is also beta use of growing recognition of tlie importance of permanent forests and stable industries. A large proportion of the fires which have in recent years caused the loss of hundreds of millions of feet of timber in the west are man-caused and preventable. This fact lias stimulated a determination to cut down the number of tires. In aggressive action the west has. on the whole, decidedly taken the lead over the east where, in many states, it is said little effort is made t?> protect the forests against tire. Proclamations calling for public nh servance of a week have la>eii or will la issued by the governors of Colorado. Cali fornia, Idaho, Oregon. I'tah. Montana Wyoming. South Dakota, and Washing ton. In New Mexico the governor proclaimed Arls>r Day as tire protection day. The movement is bucked bv strong public sentiment in practically all of the Itocky Mountain and far western states. Wash Wants Investigatioa. Washington. May IK.? Senator Walsh nf Mnsnchusetts today introduced a resolution in the senate, providing for an investigation into the relation hetween the high prices of necessities and the concentration of wealth. The investigation would he made by five senators, who, he said, should authorize the publication of income tax returns, tlie showing of extortionate profits hy dealers in food, fuel and clothes, in the newspapers. Senator Walsh declared the country seemed infested with a hand of robbers, coin bines anil trusts, by tacit if not actual agreement, to hold their products for constantly increasing gain and to ruth lessly exploit the buyers. Me said as this atrocious materialKin increases the government. outside a few weak and insignificant attempts, hanot even attempted the solution of the high prices. The senator said that newsprint could be sold at a reasonable profit at three cents a pound, but the publishers could not buy it for less than six cents. He contended that the rising wages played only a small |mrt in the increased prices. r.n? w h Pd?j. n j VH|T*. ff UUfT?IU? l/CIC?TCU. Mrs. Margaret Edwards, wife of Capt. W. H.

We hope there is no truth in the refiort that Representative Bradford of Fort Mill is considering entering the senatorial race this summer, to succeed Senator Beamguard, who has announced that he will not stand for reelection.

The democratic I t-rehlein may Ih? to some extent simpli- j (ied hy the onteoine of the republican I pat herinjr. For instance, if the republicans should ! nominatf Senator Johnson, of Californin, extreme radical with an especial fallowing of the foreign-horn the bailees of ^nomination of former Seeretarv \V. I!. MeAdon by the ilemocrato would lie decidedly augmented. In onipiirison to the wild radicalism of Johnson the mild radicalism of McAdoo would probably impress the business ptople of the country as conserratire, while the more conservative "labor" element would Ih* for McAdoo anyhow. It is no small advantage to the democrats that the republicans have to nutlte I heir decision as to candidates and is-mcs before the democrat* meet to make ; heirs. There may la' .same questions it the ptthlie mind which Isith of the Teat parties will lie willing to sidestep. There are other* wliieli eannot he avoid eil The republicans have to take the risk of error a* to the side*tepping and of blunders in the method ol meeting the unavoidable; the democrats will have -evcral weeks to study how public sentiment seem* to react with regard to what the republican* do.

Borah has acted as if he intended to commit the republican party absolutely against the league of nation* without rcferen?*e to tin effect such a step would have at the (tolls. He believes the step would lie a winning one. hut he would take it just the same if he thought the contrary. He is not a candidate for any nomination, either. Now, the compromisers in the repuh lican party, the men who figure that all is lost if there is a split, are calculating on the acceptance of the vice presidential nomination by John son. in spite of his declaration that he would not accept that honor. They know that he is playing for the highest thing in sight now. but tl.ey feel that his party an less afford to give him the presi tlfiitin! nomination than it could afford to give it to Roosevelt in 11)16 -ami Roosevelt was a mni'h stronger man than Johnson with the American people. They think Johnson's friends can convince him that hi* only chance to ttecome Presidetvt is by the vice presidential route, which Itoosevelt had to take. Reasoning thus, the old guard men 'way up and way hack* expect the California senator to accept a mild phink on the league of nations if he gets the vice presidential nomination. Hut they don't know whvt Borah will do alauit this plank, any more than the democrats know what Bryan will do alauit certain matters at the democratic convention. Hug bet Making Million n Year.

Friends of the former Republican candidate say that his income is $1,000,000 a year. If he really makes that $1,000,000 Hughes is making more out | of strictly legal work than any other ! lawyer in this country. Hughes' present income is in striking contrast to what he received as a ! justice of the United States supreme | court. That position pays $13,600 a year. When Hughes ran for the presi- . dency he resigned from the supreme j court. Steele Released Froai Asylum. Yorkville Enquirer.
