It not posslble-is 1t not a fact, indeed,
that the trades unions regard the pres

1t is 4 testimonial to the improved con-

times OF prosperity that the eight hour

industry is depressed and men are forced
to work on half time. or not at all, such

is then that men arc glad to get work

Rev. ]. B. Kenyon. OF Syracuse, N Y,
boldly accuses ex.secre.ary OF Agricul.
tnre ]. Sterling Morton OF plagiarism.
and unless Mr.. Morton can show that hi,
use, In an address, OF poem written
by Henry Abbey In 1880, without credit
to the author. and making It appear that
he tMr. Morton) had written It for the
occasion, It will appear to some people
that Or. Kenyon has made out good
case. We do not believe this, but the
prees OF the country has been laborlng
under the impression that the poem was
tho work of the ex.cabinet officer, and
has extensively published It as his pro-
ductlon; and In their comments the
newspapers have highly complimented
the poetic genius Of the distinguished
gentleman. Mr.. Morton entitled the
poem Tree Planting and no matter
who the author 10, Il is a good one and
worth repeating. 1t Is as follows:
What do ". plant when We plant the tree?
We plant the ship which will cross the

We plant the mast 10 carry the sails:
The keel, tho keelson. the beam. the knee;
We plant the ship when we plant the tree.

We plant the staff for our country's nag;
We plant the shade from the hot sun free.
we plant all these when we plant the tree.
Mr.. Morton delivered this poem { the
meeting OF western grange, and It has
appeared. perhaps by mistake. over his
signature. DR.. Kenyon, himself an au-
thority on literature, seems TO think it
was case OF plagiarism. and says that
the verses were bodily taken from the
works Of Henry Abbey, where 1t appear
ed under the title. What Do We
Plans?" and was written for an Arbor
Day celebration.
We do not believe that e1-secretary
Morton should be hastily judged in this
matter. 1t is more than probable that
the publication Of the verses as his orig
inal production was due to a misunder-
standing on the part. of the newspaper
that published the report Of the address
in which 1t was incorporated. It is not
probable that Mr.. Morton would be
guilty Of approprlating as his own the
work Of another. Mr.. Abbey's poem was
written no longer ago than 1890. and ap-
pears in a volume published but three
years ago. II will not do to charge Mr..
Morton With plagiarism until he is given
an opportunity to explain. Everybody
will be slow to believe the impression
that he claims 1t as his own is correct.
