Also notes odd anecdotes from Ex on marriage habits and a German sugar factory stack releasing soot.

Forest wealth wasted in United States timber trade
The article condemns U S forest exploitation as wasteful and contemptuous, citing timber wealth producing over $1,000,000 yearly and contrasting it with mine outputs. It contrasts party loyalties in the Senate, noting Republicans and Democrats altering alignments, seat changes, and potential impacts if Dupont of Delaware is seated. It also critiques Atlanta Journal coverage of William J Bryan and calls for a return to Jacksonian Democracy.
