The Auiiicr of Our Constitution.
And, now comes the announcement by Dr. Hannis Taylor of his theory
that Felix Webster, who died in Philadelphia in 1795, was the author of
the Constitution of the United States. Web
ster belonged to the family that produced
Noah and Daniel. He was a graduate of Yale
and a large merchant. His attention was called to the need of a new
constitution by the fact that he was a man of large means and a banker
of the Confederation, and by his - realization that the new government
must have the power to tax. According to Dr. Taylor, Webster not only
outlined in full, and with detail, the lines upon which the Constitution was
written, but he foresaw the needs of control of commerce, and deplored
the fact that this part of his suggestions had not been carried out. Dr.
Taylor declares it to be a startling fact that one hundred and seventeen
yjars later our Government realized the necessity for this same control.
Few have suspected that so broad and far-seeing a plan of government as
o ir Constitution should have been the creation of a single brain. Rather,
wa have grown to think of it as a combination of the ideas of many brains
the result of the observation and experience of men who had lived
through the most trying years of the organization of a government of en-
Irely new principles. If this old theory i3 now to be exploded and we are
to consider our Constitution the work of one man, we cannot forget that
this man, whoever he may be, merely collected methods and ideas which the
diversified experiences of a widely scattered people had taught them to
look upon as best under certain circumstances. Even then, Webster was

sociation of the United States. This is a pJaus-
ble undertaking, and is worthy the commendation and aid of all patriotic
Americans especially of us of the South. The whole matter is explained
by the Wilmington Star. We quote: "The Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Association of the United States, which i3 the incorporated title of tl e
organization, was created at a dinner party held m tne city or wasmngton
on April 13th 1902, in celebration of the birthday anniversary of the author
of the American Declaration of Independence, and was regularly incorpor
ated on July 3rd of the same year with upwards of 400 charter members.
The association is absolutely non-partisan. Its object is not only to honor
the memory of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, but also
to commemorate the promulgation of that great paper on July 4th lb,
this being the first organization ever formed for such purpose. The pro
posed memorial to be erected on one of the government reservation? in
Washington, will be a replica in white marble ol the famous Parthenon at
Athens, recognized as the most perfect architectural structure in the
world. ' It is approximately estimated that the memorial, exclusive of
sculpture, will cost $500,000. It is proposed to have the money come from
the mss3e3 and no appeal will be made to Congress for funds, as has been
frequently the case in the erection of tributes to other Great Americans.
A law has been enacted by Congress, however, providing for the making
ai- the Philadelphia mint of 150 bronze medallions, which will be given to
all contributors to the memorial fund. Each contributor also receives a

great waste at the sawmills in the
form of slabs, edgings and sawdust,
all of which must have a value, but
at present is, for the most part,
simply burned to get it out of the
way. In fact, not more than 50 per
cent of the tree as it stands in the
forest comes to the market in the
form of valuable materials.
In the year 1906 the reported cut
of southern yellow pine was some
12 billion board feet. A conserva
tive estimate of the actual amount
of turpentine alone, to say nothing
of wood fiber and other materials,
which could be produced from the
wasteboard of this one year, would
place the amount at not less than 30
million gallons. This is a surprising
figure, when it is remembered that Your skin should be clear and bright

to the present annual production of
gum spirits in this country. If this
product were extracted from the
wood and sold at even the current
price of good wood turpentine, the
gross saving would be easily $14,
400,000. Men have realized for some time
that an enormous waste of valuable
substances is going on, and a few
have succeeded in extracting the
turpentine and placing on the mar
ket a material of a fairly good qual
ity. In the majority of cases, how
ever, the article has been of an in
ferior grade, due generally to the
fact that the technical methods used
have been faulty. As a result of
this, wood turpentine is at present
often considered as an adulterated
material, or at best a poor substitute
for gum spirits. It is true that in
some cases these opinions are well
founded, but inferior products have
put an unnecessary damper on the
whole industry.
The section of wuod chemistry of.
the forest service l as lately been ;r-
vestigating this subject, and sou e
valuable results have been obtained.
It has been found that 'for the re
covery of turpentine from waste
wood, the steam distillation process
is far superior to that of chstilling
the wood destructively. The crude"
turpentine is in all cases more uni
form, and the final refined materials
i ra as a rule of better grade and can
dsmand a higher price. When prop
erly made and refined, experiments
have shown that the steam turpen
tines are in many cases even more
