| The idea of q tree-planting such as
Friday was all over Ohio, is only the lat.
terday reaction from the pioneer mania
for forest destruction. To the settler the

ferrous redskin. Orators always paint the
settler heroes as forest conquerors and the
ar was the sign by which they conquered.
Time has tempered the early hostility.
The Ak has been laid away; and the grand.
children of those same settlers have made
peace with the forests. They cannot re-
store the dead, but they can nourish and
multiply the liying.-Akron Beacon.
