Save the California Treea.


The recent report of the department OF
agriculture. calling attention to the rapid
destruction of the groves of great trees
which have been one of the gIories OF Cali
fnrr,ia, points to the need of checking the
activities of the relentless woodman and his
ak. In spite OF legislation, little enough
has been done for the preservation Of Amer
lean forests. and in the case of the big
trees of California there is absolutely moth
ing to prevent the thrifty wood cutter from
enriching himself by the telling of trees
which in their age and magnificence are
not equaled anywhere in the world. That a
tree should grow for many centuries, a Iiv-
ing evidence of the greatness of the vital
forces In nature, only to be hacked down
by the first thrifty person who may want
to gather in a few dollars, seems a pity
If the destruction is Objectionable for senti-
mental reasons. 1t is equally objectionable
as aepriving future generations of a feat
ure OF natural beauty. 1t would seem that
the federal government and the state au-
thorities Of California with propriety might
take joint action in this matter to save at
least the greatest Of these natural curiosi-
ties

EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON

VIII Not Support Mckinley and IL
imperialism and Mark Hanna Sub
sidy.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 2.-Act-
i've politicians, not only in Indiana, but
in all parts of the country, are concern
ed in the mastery inactivity of former
President Harrison in Nominee McKin-
ley's interest. 1t Is probably putting it
to strongly to say that General Harrison
has openly bolted Mr.. Mckinley, for the
president has long stood mistaken in
his party Affiliations, but it is safe to
say that Mr.. Harrison will take no part
either publicly or privately in favor of
the Republican national candidate. In
truth, those here in his home city
who know General Harrison we'll are
firm in the belief that he will refuse to
vote for Mckinley, and that when oc-
casion arises he will reiterate his oppo-
sition to the Porto Rican tariff measure
the Republican attempt to foist ship
subsidy scheme on the country, and the
growing tendency toward military rule
Ex-President Harrison is openly and
avowedly opposed to the Porto Rican
tariff measure. While he refuses to go
into print in any event on political mat
tiers. he did not hesitate when that bill
was pending, to denounce it. He talked
freely to his friends and even went so
far as to violate an iron-clad rule and
authorize an interview with himself
against 1t. This interview was but
three lines long, but It was positive in
it's terms Of opposition to the scheme.
General Harrison looks upon the ship
subsidy proposition as a steal, and he
holds that Senator Hanna is the arch
brigand in the proposed plan OF pillage
When General Harrison was return
ing from his work on the Venezuelan
matter in Paris he ran across the trail
Of Mark Hanna in England. Hanna
was there, Gen. Harrison has said, get
ting on the ground floor with the con-
spirators who are to be the beneficiaries
OF the subsidy. Gen. Harrison may have
been bitter partisan, but his honesty
has never been questioned, SO that his
discovery Of the Hanna American-Eng-
lish ship subsidy Job ,opened his Walls of
wrath against the connlyance Of the
masters Of the administration with the
magnates Of the trusts.
|. ), General Harrison will never say any,
thing favorable to the Hanna regime:
be may say nothing, and>saying moth
ing in this instance means opposition.

out consent and scarcely the knowledge
Of congress cannot be trusted to cope
with the Chinese situation alone, when
his own close advisers admit that his
personal interests would be greatly ad-
vanced by war.
The country stands today at a point
more critical than any 1t has occupied
since 1861. A lingering war in the Phil
ippines saps it's strength. It's soldiers
and sailors are enveloped in the storm
and the intrigue of the colossal Chinese

which has profited vastly. already, po-
iitically and financially, by one war,

The Calf Path.

40 Wall = 0eAAe
One day through the primeval wood,
A calf walked home, as good calves
should.
But made trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail, as all calves do.
Since then two hundred years have fed
And, infer, the calf is dead,
And still he left behind trail,
And thereby hangs my moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
BY lone dog that passed that way:
And then wise bellwether sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind him, too,
AS good bell-wether always do.
And from that day, DER hill and glade
Through these old woods a path was
made.
And many men wound in and out,
And lodged and turned and bent about,
And uttered words of righteous wrath
Because twas such a crooked path.
But still they folfowed-do not laugh
The first migrations of that calf:
And through the winding woodway
stalked
Because he wabbled when he walked!
This forest path became a lane,
That bent and turned and turned again.
This crooked lane became a road,
Where many poor horse with his load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And travelled some three miles in one.
And thus century and a half
They trod the footsteps OF that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness fleet,
The road became village street;
And thus before men were aware,
A city's crowded thoroughfare;
And soon the central street was this
OF a renowned metropolis.
And men, two centuries and half.
Trod in the footsteps Of that calf.
Each day a hundred thousand rout
Followed the zigzag calf about;
And DER the crooked. journey went
The traffic of continent.
A hundred thousand men were led
BY one calf near three centuries dead.
They followed still this crooked way,
And lost one hundred year a day.
For such reverence is lent
To well-established precedent
A moral lesson this might teach,
Were I ordained and called to preach !;
For men are prone to go it blind
Along the calf path of the mind,
And work away from sun to sun
And do what other men have done.
They follow in the beaten track,
And out and in, and forth and back,
And still their devious course pursue
To keep the paths that others do.
But how the wise old wood gods laugh
Who saw the first primeval calf!
All, many things this tale might teach
But I am not ordained to preach
