WEST LEADS THE WAY

Washington. I). May I ft.?A earn

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

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.

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. Mr. Bradford is a
mighty valuable man as chairman of
the ways and means committee of
the lower house, and we hope he will
decide to stay in the house-where
he has proved himself of great service
to the people of York county and
the State generally.

FORT MIL.L, 8. C., THU
CHOICE OF CANDIDATES
NOT YET DETERMINED
Washington. May 17. Uncertainty in-j
creases as to tlit* presidential nomiiia- I
tions as tlo> dates of the national con |
vent ions draw nearer. 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. And should
the republicans split at Chicago the
likelihood of democratic cohesion at San
Francisco will Is* doubly greater.
t>11 the surface, it would appear that
the problem of what to do with Hiram
Johnson is the most serious confronting

Senator from t'alifornia.
These students of the situation reason
that the thing that Senator John

and that with him the issues of the
day are means to that end. On the oth
er hand, they regard Borah ns deeply

to which he is opposed in its entirety

Johnson is violently aggressive and
radical, hut he is not a fanatic. lie i?
piaving politics all the time. 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.
Charles K. Hughes may not have assayed
ltK) per cent, as a presidential
candidate back in 1916, but as a lawyer
and as a money-getter in the leoral
field, it doesn't seem he h28 any serious
competitors.
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.
