Of Senator Thomas 5. Martin and our
own Repre- entative. Hon. W. a. Jones.

Immediately thereafter. Mr.. Jones
presence there was perfectly natural
occurrence was the necessary conse-
quence Of mis- retention as counsel In
an import mt law cause, and his desire
70 consult with his associate counsel.
But il has been construed as a declara-
ton on his part that he was ,candl-
date for the Senatorial toga. in refus-
ing 10 announce himself candidate,
Mr.. Jones has displayed his usual good
sense and discretion. All the same his
presence there and the attendant Juror
in the daily press proves one thing at
least. That is, that the position he
took at the Roanoke Convention, with
regard to the selection Of United. States
Senators is not only d righteous, but a
popular one. Some weeks ago we
quoted from Thomas Jefferson TO show
the ideas and wishes Of one OF the
fathers and architects Of our republic
upon this subject. This was the opinion
Of the wise men Of the past. In the
sudden cry which Mr.. Jones presence
in Richmond occasioned. is seen the
sentiment of the present. not so much
for Jones himself, as for the idea he
represents. The people, and the people
alone, in Democratic Republican form
of Government have right to voice
in the choice of every representative,
whether in the State or Federal Senate,
and the public is awake TO that idea.

SHADE TREES IN HEALTHY GROWTH.
sock moth are the most destructive. To
keep these pests in check requires much
vigilance and labor if undertaken by in
dividual citizens.
As u cities grow older and our citi-
Zens grow wiser more and more trees
will appear along their streets, soften
ing and breaking the bare dull lines and
ugly badness of brick walls and mo-
notonous roofs and house tops, protect
ing mar from the heat of the sun in
summer and from the fury of the wind
in winter. It has often been said that
God made the country and man made
the city. It still remains for man to
make his creation more like Gods by
identifying and enriching his handi-
work with those priceless trees which
covered the hills and valleys long before
the first city came into existence.

Although America is called a new

is the lack Of water supply for the roots,
another is the n of natural and
artificial gas poisoning, another the
deadly smoke of furnace and factory,
and still another the attacks of insects.
While copious enough rains may fall
over a city, tagging and modern pave
ments carry it swiftly off by way Of the
cutters into the sewers where other
wise it would slowly percolate through
the soil and be drink for the thirsty
roots of the trees. The remedy, if trees
are to be planted where the rain that
soaks down in the soil is insufficient
for the health or life of the tree, is to
convey to their roots by artificial means
the necessary moisture. In such cities
as Salt Lake City and Denver, where
vegetation has to endure a prolonged
drought each year, irrigation pipes for
the purpose Of supplying water to the
city trees have been successfully intro
duced. In our eastern cities the water
cart is found to be an effective remedy.
Another question to which city tree
planting associations are directing their
timely attentions is the careless laying
and jointing Of gas pipes in the streets.
This permits leakage and the absorption
Of the poisonous gases by the soil, and
indirectly brings about the death of
many a fine city shade tree. The equally
malignant sulphurous fumes that come
from factory chimneys will not disap-
pear until a complete combustion of
smoke in cities is enforced by law. All
of u native trees, however, are not
deleteriously affected by these smoke
fumes, the American elm being almost
entirely immune.
It naturally follows that the most de-
sirable shade trees for cities will be
those having sufficient hardihood of con-
stitution to Withstand the unhealthy
emanations Of chimneys and gas mains,
and strong enough to endure the cold of
our winters and the drafts of our
summers. Pre-eminent among it's fell
lows, in its ability to do this, stands the
American elm. It is not a fast growing
tree, but its massive trunk, its thick
crown of foliage and it's gracefully in
terlacing branches make it a beautiful
object. Long colonnades of full grown
elms can already be seen in many New
England towns, forming beautiful gothic
arches of shade and verdure. Next, per-
haps, m the sugar maple (Acer
sa~ccharinum), which attains a long life
and is a model of symmetrical growth.
The silver leaf maple will thrive in
damp soil, SO if planted in urban streets
must be we'll watered. Its one other
fault as a shade tree is that, while be-
ing the fastest growing variety of tree
in u country, there is always a dan
ger Of it's larger limbs giving way be-
fore high winds.
The red oak is an excellent shade tree,
but to be successfully transp1anted must
be nursery grown. In the nursery the
young oak is deprived of its taproot,
and consequently sends out lateral roots
not entering too deeply'in the ground.
The Carolina poplar has the advantage
of being a very speedy grower and, like
the native horse chestnut, seems to en-
joy a peculiar immunity from all at
tacks of insects dangerous to more deli
cate growths.
Of these insects that attack city
shade trees certain borers and the tus-
