There were some who thought it I'M
wise for Mrs Peary to accompany her
husband, Lieut.. Robert +. Peary, on his
voyage of exploration to the north coast
of Greenland. That their purpose was a
far seeing one and wise is now being de
monstrated. Lieut.. Peary unfortunately
has been compelled to look to his own
cxertions for the capital necessary to ex
ccute bis plans for Arctic exploration
Mrs Peary is indeed fitting helpmate
of her brave husband and his confidence
in her is not misplaced There is needed
to fit out an expedition to go in quest of
the explorer sig, 900. So far the only
part of this now available is $1,000 con
tributed by the geographical society. To
raise the other sl1,000 devolves upon
Mrs. Peary. She must raise this amount
or it is probable that her husband If he be
alive must be condemned to pass another
Arctic winter in the dcsolate north with
scanty supplies and with the chances of
his ever returning to civilization ex-
tromoly small. She has bravely I'M
dcrtaken the task of raising the money by
lecturing and her efforts should meet with
u generous response. Moreover the story
of her experiences in that far Greenland
home will be of unusual interest.

Arbor Day.

Arbor day and how sfial 1t be observeds
All the Journal readers probably have
decided ere this whether they will OBJ
serve Arbor day in the spirit in which 1t
was set apart as a special occasion for
planting trees and shrubbery and beauti-
flying waste PLACES. A moments reilec-
ton will call to mind many spot that
daily comes under observation where
tree or bit of shrubbery would vastly
improve appearances. Comparatively few
can give thousands or millions of dollars
to found universities. build libraries or
secure places even in the local history for
a record OF philanthropic efforts, but
there is comparatively few of us who are
unable to plant a tree or lend aid to such
a purpose Aside from the personal salts
faction there are other things to be con-
sidered. The spirit Of the man who
wouldn't plant an orchard because he
didn' t expect to live to eat all the apples
is not one we should encourage More
over If we have but selfish interests to
crafty it may he we'll to consider whether
monument of stone or o noble tree with
grateful shade for all Corners will be of
the more interest to those who come after
us. Perhaps if the custom of ENGRAVING
upon the tree set out on Arbor day the
name or names of those who did it pre-
vailed the occasion would partake more
fully of the results desired.

Because of concessions to the sugar
and whiskey trusts by the Democratic
Congress the revenues for the past few
months have been far from encouraging
to the treasury department. AT best it
is believed that the new tariff will not in
the future provide for the expenses of the
government. Notwithstanding all this,
however, the increase in the importation
of woolens is at the rate of $50 600, 900 a
year. Now of course the American PEG
pie are not wearing out each week mil
lion dollars worth of cloth more than they
did each week last year. Consequently
less goods of American manufacture are
being used, there is less labor for the
wooden workers, less demand for the
American wool, less prosperity for all who
are connected in any way with furnishing
the products which wooden workers in
this country consume. In 1890 forty
four millions eff dollars were paid to the
1922 ,04i employees of wooden mills. Now
no one supposos thai this WOODEN industry
has not increased since 1880 in the same
proportion as the other stable industries,
up to the time that the German Wilson
tariff began the campaign against the
sheep The sheep being unable to COM
bine in trust or to manipulate the
stock exchange for the welfare of certain
people with 'inside tips" and moreover
the sheep being inotfensive animals, they
were made scapegoats of the politicians
who wished to avoid their pledges
and to construct a tariff that should bt

favoritisn. Accordingly the sheep got

in order for the Democratic party to

they are getting moro wages under exist
