That the present prodigious waste - of the nation's natural resources must stop at once If we are to continue to prosper, is the warning given to the people of the United States by J. A. Holmes, chief of the technologic branch of the United States geological survey, who has just returned to Washington after a three months Inthe west. spection trip through Holmes, who is an expert on fuels and one of the best known scientists In the country, toured the entire west at to the Instance of the government learn just how serious the conditions are. He returns with the statement that in the mining operations of the present nearly half of the total coal supply is being left under ground; that water, the most valuable of all mineral resources, as a Eource of power la being wasted day after day and year after year to the extent of millions of horsepower, and that forest fires have burned more lumber than has been used in the building of homes or in the industries. One of the great national problems is the conserving of the fuel resources At the pressays Holmes. ent rate of increase in consumption, the better part of the fuel supply of the country will be gone by the end of the present century unless the proper step3 are taken. The future ascendancy of American industries will depend largely on our manufacturers being able to secure cheap fuel. The value and cost of labor will never be reduced in the United States to what they are in foreign countries; but this, fact renders all the more essential in the struggle for industrial and commercial supremacy that the manufacturers of Mils country be able to obtain fuel supplies cheaper than they are to be had in other countries. The world recognizes Americans as the most wasteful of peoples in the utilization of their resources. Certainly no nation received so rich an inheritance as did the United States in its combination of soil, forest, climate, streams and mineral resources. The natiop has literally grown up in luxury. Out of the very abundance of these resources we have developed an indifference to economy and the f waste. We have destroyed our game for its hides and horns; our forests for their tan bark or a pittance trf the lumber they would yield; and meanwhile, with a thoughtless indifference we have allowed forest fires to burn more lumber than we have used in the building of homes or in the industries. h;lt PROLONGED PROSPERITY. When a period of commercial 4 pros- perity becomes prolonged, it begins to Invite the caution of the prudent and arouse the fears of the timid. Such an luterval occurred during the Civil war and such another one is passing at the present time. It Is at periods of this character that every circumstance which tends to heighten the prevailing distrust is brought forward by Interest, prejudice or passion, and displayed as the true cause of the commotion. The prosecution of certain railroads for secret rebating; the condemnation of certain monopolies for repeated violations of law and good faith these and other pretexts are being sedulously put forward as the causes of the existing financial uneasiness. Nor are such grounds of alarm entirely destitute of plausibility; for alarm feeds as readily upon belief as fact, upon sentiment as upon reason. But, after a careful examination of the subject. It will be found that, aside from a remediable constriction in the monetary field, there is nothing in the situation to warrant any apprehension for the immediate future, and as for such construction, Amusement.

This means about $0,000,000. The production of some two score xnd minerals aggregated 819,000,000, besides 177,000,000 of secondary minerals and chemicals. Metals yielded the gross total being 873,000,000, 11,8(19,000,000 in value. The mines of the Transvaal yielded In July 54,438 tine ounces of gold, against 54,918 in June and 48,185 in July last year. The this year monthly average output amounts to nearly 50,000 ounces, much more than double the average of 1904, and making an Increase of nearly '1,000 ounces per month over last year. The output of the last three months hai been the greatest ever recorded. Thus. In the production of the year 1907 there is to be observed no material falling off In any general direction, and in most directions a material gain. In a few words, the original material elements of prosperity produced this year should bring to the producers as much money as they did last year, or more. The foundations of our welfare are thus seen to he solid. Who win Be President?

He believed it until he saw how he had been bitten, how he had been used as snapper to the whip wielded For It by the doughty Nebraskan. was Bryans work; Bryan, the man who eats politics and everytime a political thought is digested, ejects a new political battle cry. For Bryan used Hearst as a stool pigeon, as a commodore bird, wltnout exhausting the classification of ornithology. He wiled the yellow man into a subjugated state that was reany pitiful. He held alluring hopes and promised him, Tammany, Murphy and all those big fellows, Including TimAnd Hearst bit. othy D. Sullivan. He announced his retlment, just because, dangled before his political-befoggeacumen, the bait of a nomination in 1912 was held out, or else a second place on the ticket. But Timothy D. was doing something himself. He was hiking about oa a still hunt for some pumpkins along political lines. And when he lit on Lieutenant-Governo- r Chanler of New York unmercifully shoving Tom Johnson and Folk and others aside even Bryan woke up with a gasp and found a first rate hotbed of sedition fired and fanned. Into which he was expected to precipitate himself and howl to the gang who watched his writhing for mercy. Heigho, times were stirring for Bryan just then. He never has and never will permit the intrusion of any foreign substance or mass into that clavicle of political heart that he has been creating for so many silver-coate- d years. So he got busy and he began thinking. Now Bryan, as a rule, will talk first for his tongue is his most convenient vehicle and think afterwards. But In this case he got wise to the new move and he worked first, and the talk Is still coming. Even with Hearst an open and avowed adversary the path was smoother for him to weld his party into a Bryan chain than it would be to have quiescent a most determined enemy, whose very enmity might prove the salvation of his own prospects. But, if a greater sop were handed to Hearst, and that gentleman who favors saffron sheets could see a second place on the ticket, what better than Bryan should name himself, and then to whip New York with into line, assume an alliance Hearst which would give that state to his column and give him a walkAnd as it over In the convention? was ordered, so it probably will be. Timothy Darnit Sullivan and his pet can go hang for all of Bryan. That gentleman of the Platte Is not going to lose the peerlessest state In America just for a flipdoodle hanger on of Timothy D. So If you see Bryan named, with a yellow streak to his kite, you will know wrho his running mate Is. And Teddy! My, what an astute politician that man is. He is doing more to disrupt the notions of. those old fogies who seek to control the eastern political situation than has happened In fifty years of history. He justs look at those hoary-headepastmasters of the art, and glides right over them, never paying any more attention to them than If they were a cold potato in th,e wilds of Wyoming. Unless every infallible sign fails, Teddy Roosevelt will be the nominee of the Republican party for the presidency in 1908. If he refuses to accept the nomination, it will practically spell defeat for him a contingency that he never will and never did consider. Here in New York the other day, it was sought to have the state Republican committee endorse Charles Hughes. Did that committee do It? Not much. It was just a matter of handing out pieces of frozen bullion that so effectually checked the hopes of the followers of that gentleman that they have been drinking Toms and Jerrys ever since. It was worse than having Teddy give them the marble heart. But Governor Hughes maintained that he did not want the endorsement. That Is where he was smarter than his followers. He realized that to make a bid for it and fall was an Infallible sign that his hopes were gone. It would be much better for him to make an open race with whatever chance In sight there may be, than to be killed at the very thresh-hol- d of the nomination. He realized that It Is a Roosevelt committee and that for him to attempt to meet Teddy on his own ground, was more than a sign of weakness; it would be an indication of political senile decay. So he tabooed the Idea and must rely on some sort of an uprising among the money kings to help him on his , way. That Is why Roosevelt must accept If he does not, he the nomination. never can control New York. Tabulated statements going about the country at present, assume to show that Taft would get something over two hundred and seventy votes In the national convention on the second ballot, with two hundred and thirty-nin- e necessary for a choice. But that Is misleading. That count was not taken from the people hut from the assumed political bosses of the states that were questioned. And again, the straw vote as taken gives only an of inferential Tafts knowledge strength from the fact that the vote was cast in the majority of cases for Taft, with the understanding that it this. d case-hardene- d d ( i - 1 505-60- District No. 32 E.
