decided that the honor of entertaining
Meneiek and his wife, the Empress
Taitou. shall devolve upon the count
and countess de Castellane.
Menelek is the Negus Negusti, or
king of kings. His country is full of

state superintendent Issues an Ade
dress ON Arbor Day. :,
Des Moines, April 17.-state superin-
tendent Barrett has issued the following
address to directors, teachers and pupils
on Arbor day:
II count 1t rare privilege to recon-
mend the observance of Gen. Grants
birthday, April "a, as Arbor day. The
observance of this day should serve to
instill into the minds and hearts of the
children in our public schools a genuine
love of nature in her many forms; II
should also result in the planting of
many trees, and the general improve
ment Of school grounds by boards of di-
rectors. The accomplishment OF these
purposes is greatly to be desired.
Nearly 20 per cent Of the children of
Iowa attend school in the country. and
for this reason the grounds should be
made more attractive by the planting OF
trees, shrubs and vines. / would urge
you in all cases to protect the trees al
ready planted. Where beginning has
been made, let the work be extended.
Where the school grounds are attrac-
tive, Let the arst staps ne taken To con-
vert the barren plot into place OF
beauty.
THE elements Of success in tree
Planting are trees suitable to the soil
and surrounding conditions: a we'll de-
veloped root system, kept in a living
condition; while holes and mellow soil:
and firm packing OF soil around the
roots.
Trees planted this year might most
appropriately be named for Gen. o. S.
Grant, and those who We're closely as
ISOLATED with him in military and civil
| life.
Exercises of a character suitable to
the occasion should be planned by the
teacher, thus making 1t one of enjoy
ment and profit to all. Arbor Day h y
become a quite general holiday, and I
think it may, under the guidance of the
teacher, prove most interesting. The
children, under proper leadership, will
gladly aid in all the work of improving
the school premises.
With the hope that the dag may be
one of joy and gladness tSfuout the
state, am, yours for the planting of
trees and beautifying OF school
ground.

1T Is not claimed that there is danger

bility OF danger to American industries

lations with Porto Rico, precedent
for our policy in dealing with all our
outlying possessions no one can deny
after having given the subject careful
What applies to Porto Rico applies
can say what may develop in that
much larger and equally fertile area
in the east. with its abundance OF
cheap labor?
This is what we must guard against.
Without precedent and the estab-
lished right to impose a tariff upon any
of the products of our island posses
sions the United States may in years
to come feel the effect of such lack of
Legislation to avery serious degree.
The nearer the tropics the cheaper
the cost of production. With the excep-
ton of a very limited number Of articles,
the Hawaiian island trade pays the
Dingley tariff rate. Why have not the
same objections been raised with refer
sence to the Hawaiian islands that are
now being given so much prominence in
the discussion Of the Porto Rican poll
.cy?
The analogy is not complete, and yet
the principle is the same. No harm will
be done to Porto Rico by the enacted
tariff, which is only is per cent Of that
which the Hawaiian islancs pay, and
even that viii come mainly from the
pockets of the sugar and tobacco trusts,
and all of it will so bacx to the Porto
IRicans.
BY the adoption Of this legislation
future protection will be assured to
American interests in case it be needed
from that source, or against the Philip
pines or against the Danish West In
dies, should we acquire them, or any
outlying possessions.
An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, and it is best not to fix
a precedent that will abolia right

be committed to the policy of free trade.
