One of the most obvious and most
serious interests of the United States
is the preservat of such forests as
we have left, with the scientific re-
newal of trees legitimately and intel
ligently cut down. A measure that
would greatly contribute TO this end
is reciprocity treaty with Canada by
which the import duties on lumber
and on paper made from wood pulp
should be removed, if not at once,
gradually and surely. Against this
measure are arrayed two very power
full and selfish interests, the protected
lumberman and the protected paper
makers. In calling them selfish we
do not mean to distinguish them dis
creditably from the great body of pro-
tected interests. They are neither
worse nor better than hundreds of 9TH
ers who seek to compel the American
people by taxation to pay higher
prices for the necessaries of ordinary
trade, But their appetites have this
mischievous element, that their indul-
gence involves grave risk to the well
fare and prosperity Of the whole coun-
try, since the wasting of our forests
has changed and is constantly chang
ing our climate, drying up streams,
and increasing the violence of destruc-
tive STORMS and floods. The represent
tatives of these interests are telling
the senators from the various states
that there is no real public sentiment
in favor of either free paper or forest
preservation. The statement is the re-
verse of true. We know of no intel
igent and candid student of the sub
ject-and of these there are plenty
who does not earnestly support both
these policies. The senate should not
permit itself to be deceived on this
point; but even if there were no such
public sentiment, it would still remain
the duty Of senators to comprehend
and to serve the public interests, which
in this case are perfectly plain.

VOLUME v, NUMBER I.

With this issue THE TRIBUNE enters
upon It's ii fth year. In doing so it de-
s;rcs to sincerely thank,,its many read
ers who have seen its birth, watched
its growth and advancement, and have
through it all given not only moral
but financial assistance, making pos
sible the building up of a newspaper
OF this kind. THE TRIBUNE was
started under'rather adverse circum-
stances and conditions, conditions
hat only those directly connected with
is publication can fathom; yea, con-
'itions that were trying to even the
+trongest. To say that it was simply
through sheer idomitable will Of the
owners that it surmounted all these
obstacles would maybe in measure
but not wholly be true. 1t has always
been a laudible characteristic of a
large part Of.the subscribers of The
TRIBUNE to take a personal interest
n the welfare of the paper, and rend-
ering every aid possible, not only in
the way OF paying their subscriptions
promptly. but in many others ways,
such as getting new subscribers, send
ing in news, ETC., and right here we
want to especially extend our hearty
thanks to our efficient corp OF local
correspondents, without whose aid
one department of our paper would be
bound to suffer. This is as it should
be. We want all of our readers to
feel that they have a personal interest
in the papers success and welfare,
and relying on this THE TRIBUNE
enters on it's fifth year with still many
obstacles to overcome but with con-
tidence that it will achieve still greater
successes in the future than it has in
the past and that its power for the
good of the community as we'll as the
country at large will only be limited
by the support it receives.

the facts square with it and the evil
dence in consequence has a manufac-
tured and unsatisfactory appearance.
''Solne time ago a man was arrested
charged with the Boxell murders. He
was able to prove an alibi without any
difficulty because when the trageey
occurred he worked for the Railroad
Company hundreds of miles from
Howard Lake. The time book of the
foreman who attended the preliminary
examination saved him from further
detention. ALPS we'll that ends we'll.
But leading city newspaper, prior to
the hearing, mapped out the theory Of
the prosecution in a startling and fore
ible article. The chain of suspicion
was wound round the prisoner by
proofs apparently as clear ass Holy
Writ Men would be present, inti-
mated this paper, to show that the ac-
cused was at Howard Lake on the
night of the murder. that he was play
ing cards till late hour in a saloon
when he suddenly looked at his watch
and announced that he must start for
Smith Lake, that he lett the village
and started west, taking a freight from
there and he was supposed to have
committed the double murder on his
trip. The newspaper complimented
one of the detectives who made the ar
rest very warmly on his remarkable
astuteness and called him old Sleuth.
Nov the point we make is this:
Supposing the accused instead of work
ing for the railroad company had been
tramping through the country looking
for work; supposing he could not say
where he was on the night in question
or what would be equally perilous,
supposing that he could bring no wit
ness to prove his whereabouts. Pub
lie opinion though divided had begun
to turn against him. He was poor and
depended on the state for the means of
furnishing an adequate defense. Some
said that they did not like his appear
ance and they thought he looked
guilty. Others remarked that he
trembled like leaf and that the detec-
tives knew what they were doing safe
enough. The foreman of that railroad
saved the unfortunate man from being
bound over and he saved the county
from an expensive murder trial. That
the prisoner would have been finally
acquitted we do not doubt but he would
have had to pass through scathing
ordeal.
"What seems astonishing to us is the
wonderful chain Of suspicion that was
cast around a perfectly innocent man
hundreds of miles from the scene OF
the murders and it begets a scepticism
in regard to detective work which goes
very far to prove that Offering re-
wards for convictions may result in
doing a grievous injustice, an injus.
t'ce that can never be atOned."

Those who have an idea that the
trouble in the Philippines will soon be
over please read the following bit of
news from the Minneapolis Tribune
and then use your thinking boxes:
''Despite this quietude, however,
many are asking whether the problem
is not still further from solution. A
week ago those who took an optimistic
view predicted that the terrible lesson
settle the question Of Filipino inde-
diction has not been fulfilled. AS a
matter OF fact the rebels are now scat
tered throughout the country BUSH
whacking, except at Malabon, where
they are gathered in force. Even there
their methods SAVIOR more of guerilla
than of civilized warfare, every bush,
clump OF trees and tree furnishing a
cover for their sharpshooters.
Unfortunately, for miles around, the
land is studded with bamboo jungles
and open spaces are few and far be-
tween. This gives the natives, who
fight better under cover, distinct ad-
vantage. In many places the Jungle
Is so dense that the eye cannot pen
citrate it and only by the flashes of
their rifles is the whereabouts of the
enemy indicated.''
Then when you have read the above
and noticed the conditions, read the
following and see if you don't think
that the Philippines are fighters, show
ing that they are fighting for u prin-
ciple that to them, like Patrick Henry,
is dearer than life itself.
"a close inspection showed that
most of the enemy's dead had remained
at their posts to the last, as the bodies
were usually surrounded bys empty
cartridges, while in the trenches, wher-
ever there were no dead, there was
little and often no ammunition.

we'll as the old world open for the
operation of greedy and tyranical con-
querors. If our country begins to
grab and annex territory in Asia,
what is to prevent the powers of Eu-
rope from annexing South America?
They could do it under the plea of
preventing anarchy and in the inter-
ests Of civilization as the expansion
lists now plead in the case OF the Phil
ippines. We all believe that these
Pan American republics will work
out their own salvation sooner if left
alone than if taken in charge by one
OF the greedy powers, and we ought to
be liberal enough to concede the same
boon to the Philippines.
John p. Altgeld is statesman with
clear vision. Call it democratic, pop
ulistic or whatever you like, the ad-
joined short statement suggests the
only remedy against the aggrandize-
ment OF private trusts. Either the
people must own the trusts or the
trusts will own them. You cannot
escape it. ''This is an age OF concen-
tration in all things, and the forma-
tion of private monopolies IN particu-
lar. Competition has been wiped out.
n harmony with the law it has stood
for centuries we have denounced this,
but to no purpose: we have legislated
against it, but in vain. When they
could not defeat legislation by bribery
they went before some subserv lent
federal Judge and had it declared un-
constitutional. Our remedy has failed.
Private monopoly is as injurious and
as much Of a crime as ever, and we
cannot stop its birth: we must change
our tactics and convert private mo-
nopolies into public monopolies.
Give the whole public the benefit of
the monopolies instead of few indi-
viduals. Let the government take
them. This is not state socialism, it
is simply protecting the people, and
therefore is democracy in it's broadest
sense. The European people fight So
cialism, but get the greatest benefit
from collective ownership"

The Cyclamen.

The Cyclamen has an air of individ-
uality that makes it very acceptable
among our winter flowers. Amateurs
are often advised to throw the tubers
away after the first year and buy new
ones, but gardeners who grow their
own seedlings know that there are
often be1ated plants that bloom pro-
fusely the second and even the third
year from seed. I have in mind a
batch of choice seedlings that I saw
caught by frost one fall The owner
did not throw them away-oh no! She
set the pots down in the cold pit all
winter where they slowly recovered
and put out a few leaves. The next
spring she set them out in the garden
under a tree, watered and fed them
we'll enough to keep them growing all
summer, and early in winter they
bloomed admirably. The real secret
of success in Cyclamen culture is to
keep them growing vigorously from
tiny seeding to blooming plant But
if, through some accident, the plants
receive a check, do not throw them
away. Oh no!-Mayf1ower

black, brown or spotted seeds allowed
to remain Carefully save all such
seed-rogues- plant them in
mixed row by themselves, and you
may grow novelty. Be careful not to
plant any shriveled seeds of plump
seeded varieties, as they have poor vi
tality, but do not forget that there are
"wrinkled" seeded varities, the same
as in garden Peas. In these the nom
vital ones are usually dried quite fiat,
and are composed principally of the
SHELL while the good ones will show
the germ quite plainly.
The trenches for Sweet Peas should
be prepared at the earliest possible
moment, as soon as the condition of
the weather will permit-the earlier
the better-in order that the vines may
have a chance to make good root
growth while the ground is cool and
moist Late planted Sweet Peas run
too much to stalk, and poor blooms,
limited in number, are the result.
The seeds should be planted in
double row, four inches apart, and two
inches apart in the row. Level the
bottom of the hollow and lay the seeds
where they are to be stuck, pushing
them in with the finger to the depth of
one inch. Do not press the soil down
hard upon the seeds, as the germ of
some varieties is very weak and will
not push through a hard crust. If the
seeds are planted early no water will
be required until the plants are we'll
started.
TO support the vines a permanent
trellis should be made, but if not con-
venient a temporary movable one may
be used. For permanent trelises plant
locust posts in the center of the trench

Sweet Peas.

attain a degree of success inaImOStany
situation, except a constantly shaded
one, yet it is the finest success that we
all desire, and this can be- obtained
only when the rows are so run that
the proper amount of sun and shade
will be had.
There are differencesof opinion as to
the direction in which the rows should
run, but this is a matter that in most
cases is fixed by the plan of the gar
den. If the garden runs east and
west the rows will generally run the
same way, or north and south, at the
convenience of the owner. However,
when it can be done the rows should
be run east and west rather than north
and south. The best results will be OBJ
tanned when rows are run southeast
and northwest. Sweet Pea rows
should be so located that they will not
get the sun the whole day. By little
experimenting one can ascertain when
the shadow of building will strike
a certain spot by o'clock in the af
ternoon. If possible, locate the rows
so that by 4 o'clock in the afternoon
the whole plot will be shaded. The
greatest damage is done during the
hot, dry season in the after part of the
day. When the shade of a building
cannot be obtained, in many cases a
tree or high fence can be utilized in
stead.
The best soil for Sweet Peas is
good, porous limestone loam-deep and
friable, and with large percentage of
humus in it's composition. If one has
not such soil at hand with which to
fill the trenches, it can readily be made,
and will last four to five years. If the
natural soil has lime in it, none need
be put in the mixture, otherwise add
one-fortieth of the bulk Of the mixture
in air-slaked lime. The soil is made
as follows: Thoroughly mix together
fifty parts garden SOIL twenty-five
thoroughly rotted horse manure, rub
bed through a coa1-sieve. This is i'm
proved it, instead of fifty parts garden
soil, twenty-five parts soil and twenty
five parts leaf mold are used, and the
heap allowed to stand six months,
with an occasional turning over. New
err use green manure unless it is your
intention to allow the heap to compost.
The trenches are made by excavat-
ing to depth of eighteen inches, one
foot wide. This allows for double
row, and it should be remembered that
Sweet Pea trenches are intended to be
permanent If the bottom of the trench
is such that it will drain no drainage

stiff clay or hard-pan, a layer Of two
to three inches Of broken stone or
bricks should be put in to insure prop
er drainage, as Sweet Peas will not
thrive with stagnant water at the
roots.
