If Taft ke elected. President Roosevelt has suoeeeded In forcing- the Republi? can* to nominate his man and It Is now up to the people of this Uni? ted State* to accept or reject the Boose veil nominee. ? ? ? Rhett la evidently the strong man to the senatorial race and the one that hi) the other candidates fear most. Judging from the "way several of them centered their fire upon him and his currency plan iat the meeting In Man mug Thursday. la our opinion Mr. Rhett is net pow the strongest man, politically, la the race, but If the oth? er candidate* unite In a fight "upon aim ha will gain strength daily, to he watched In thle campaign.

Saaall poiitica. t la the object of the candl of John P. Grace, of Charles fur the senate? Mr. Grace Is S very nice young man, but he must know mm well as everybody else know* that he t* not senatorial tim and nobody knows better than he does that he has no chance what? ever ef being sleeted. Why then does he make a race for the senate at a cost of 8400 or ?600 and toe sacrifice of two monthu or more of hie time? Is he running to help some other candidate or Is ho running to Injure some other can? didate? In either case his candidacy la not bona tide and he and those who Pre using him are not treating the people of the State fairly. It In stated In the dispatches .'rom Columbia that Mr. Grace's candidacy hi understood to he In the Interest of John Gary Evans and for the purpose af weakening Mr. Rhett In Charles ten and the low country. We do not know If this is true. But If this be the purpoae of his candidacy. It Is a etepid blunder, for It ?III neither ben? efit Mr Bvane nor Injure Mr. F'.hett. It will likewise not benefit Mr. Grace for It will he seen by the people ft the State to be a piece of small politics that will not commend Itself to any? body of clear and disinterested Judg? ment?Hpartanburg Journal.

The heavy Inroads made In the ex- ' ploltatlon of the timber resources of the large lumber States on the Great lakes havo been too much for the great forests, and the amount avail? able for cutting Is getting smaller ev? ery year. The decadence of the lum? bering Industry in this region is force? fully Illustrated in the drop In the whlte-plrre cut during the past ten years. Michigan's forests of this val? uable tree were the richest in the world and were often said to be Inex? haustible. The folly of such a state? ment is shown by the report that the cut of white pine in Michigan last year was only one-fourth of what It was In 1899. only eight years be? fore. In lumbering the forests no thought was given to anything but Immediate money returns, and conse? quently the countless fires running over the land, after the timber was stripped, have killed young growth over wide areas and greatly impover- | Ished the soli. Now 8,000,000 acres, or nearly one-sixth of the State of Michigan, known as the "pine bar- j rens," have been thrown on ihe de? linquent tax list and are a burden to the people. Under proper forest management this land would have been producing timber today. Be? tween 1899 and last year the white pine production fell off nearly as much In Wisconsin as In Michigan. In Minnesota, the State which now con? tains the largest amount of virgin white pine, the decrease in the same period was nearly one-third. Taking the three States together, pine constituted nearly 48 per cent, of the total lumber production In 1907, hemlock a little more than 27 per gent, and maple 10 per cent., the bal? ance being made up mostly of bass wood, birch, tamarack, elm, beech, oak, spruce, ash and cedar, In the order given. The pine Is mostly white and Norway, which are grouped to? gether under the general trade term of "northern pines." Pine made up over nine-tenths of Uye lumber pro? duced In Minnesota, one-third of that produced in Wisconsin, and less than two-fifths of the total cut of Michi? gan. Along with this great decrease In pine there have been relatively as heavy decreases in the most valuable of the hardwoods, oak, elm and ash. Little more than one-fifth as much oak was cut In the lake States last year, for Instance, as In 1899, while the cut of elm and ash was but half of that o? eight years earlier. As Is always the case, the decreasing sup? plies of the more valuable woods have caused those once considered of little or no value to be drawn upon heavily. This has been particularly true with hemlock, so that now more hemlock than pine lumber is manu? factured In Wisconsin, and twice as much hemlock as pine Is cut in Michigan. There has been heavy Increases In the use of maple, birch and beech within the past few years, but the maximum cut of these species is probably near at hand; and taking all of the hardwoods together, there has been a slight falling off since 1899. m Why Send Your Daughter to Clifford Seminary? ? ? 1.
