And yet another thing that Smyth
omits to mention, is that this suit was
instituted, as was that against the Argo

C. 7. SMYTH AND
THE OCTOPUS.

i.
THE OCTOPUS. December II, 1901,
the Hon. Constant
inc j. Smyth, formerly attorney -gener-
al of the State of Nebraska, appears as
a defendant of himself and his admins
tration of the office in which he so long
ratified around. Mr.. Smyth's plea is
exceedingly puerile. He says that the
Standard Oil Co. is a trust and that it
was his duty as attorney general to
move against that trust; that he did so
move that the aforesaid octopus re-
sisted the action and attacked the anti
trust statute upon every conceivable
ground, and that Mr.. Woolworth, ex-
president of the American Bar Associa-
ton, headed an array of counsel repre-
senting the trust that the court listened
to their contentious for year; that it
resulted in complete victory by Smyth
over Woolworth, of the state over the
Standard Oil octopus, and the estab-
lishment of the validity of the anti
trust law in all of its parts.
Then, saith Smyth, the case was sent
to referees to take testimony, and he
(Smyth) tried to get the dispositions of
certain officers of the company, but
failed; and then, as a substitute for
the testimony which was desired, he
took the deposition Of one George Rice,
with which he was not satisfied. Then
he applied to the court for an order on
the trust to permit him to inspect it's
books, and this application was singu-
larly enough resisted by the Standard
Oil Go. Nevertheless, the Court grant
ed the application, and thus, according
to Smyth, the success of the state
in the contest was almost assured.
Smyth then declares that we have a
statute which provides that if the
party upon whom such an order already
made fails to comply with it in the
time limited, the other party may
present to the Court an affidavit show
ing what he claims the books contained,
and this affidavit will be taken as true.
The time in which the Standard Oil
Co. might elect to pay the order ex-
pired few days befo~c Smyth's term of
Office came to t-.--.Id, and this melan-
choly fact, according to Smyth, dumped
the whole matter over into the hands of
his republican successor, Mr.. Prout.
Now Prout, according to Smyth, has
done everything that he ought not to
have done and nothing which he ought
to have done, in regard to getting the
Standard Oil Co. to quit doing business
in the state of Nebraska.
One thing that Smyth fails to state in
his elaborate defense, dated at Omaha
on December IL, 1901, is the terrible
oppression and extortion which the
Standard Oil Co. has put upon the peo-
pie of Nebraska This tleaginous octo-
pus is selling oil TT from to 20 cents a
gallon. for which we paid in the early
days $l.50. Another thing which Smyth
omits to mention is the great benefit
that would accrue to the people of this
state, provided the Standard Oil Go.

could not get five dollars apiece for the
larger trees. A fair margin of profit
surely between grower and consumer
The work of cutting these young trees
for the city Christmas trade has been
going on in other parts of the state for
several years. What this trade means
in the way of forest destruction the
country over is appalling to consider.
These young evergreens are cut in Yer
mont every year literally by the hun
dred thousand, and the work is doubt
less going on in every other section
where frs and spruces grow-unless the
farmers in other sections are wiser than
those of Vermont We are cutting off
the grown forests at wholesale to make
lumber and paper stock, and at the
same time are at work at the other end
destroying the young growth that would
otherwise replace them in part. 1t is
true that in many cases judicious
thinning out Of the young trees would
be advantageous to those remaining,
but when the axe and saw take every
thing, as is the custom, the loss is ire
parable. And what any one farmer or
landowner gets in return for this van
dalism is hardly enough to pay him for
the tools to do the work with This is
sad degeneracy from the thrift and far
sightedness of the farmers who made
our hill towns and farms what they
used to be.
While we are discussing in a peda-
gogic way the profit there is in tree
planting and tree-growing as a business
proposition, there is need also to discuss
this end of the proposition-that Of

ture herself has planted and given ten

ing to save the birds and the flowers,
gin to consider what this wanton de-
struction of young trees means?
A few thoughtful men in the cities,
who see what the trade involves, have
been calling halt for two or three
years past against the unrestricted use
of evergreens at Christmas. The cru
sade may yet have to go hand in hand
with that against the wearing of bird
plumage in women's hats. Even when
it won't do any good unless the majority
of men prove more amenable to sense
and sentiment than the majority of
would. be fashionable women have done.
The Phoenix, in it's article last week,
greatly underestimated the number of
young spruces and frs which have been
cut in Marlboro and are being shipped
from the Brattleboro station to the
Philadelphia market for the Christmas
trade. 1t is apparent that the shipments
already made, and to be made, will
reach at least 20 car loads, making no
less than 10000 to 100000 of the young
trees. Probably 25 car loads have al
ready passed through Brattleboro from
the North. But this is only small part
of the trees which have been cut in the
central part of the state, as the great
volume of those shipments goes down
the other side of the mountain by the
way of Bennington.

Vermont Phoenix,
published at Brattleboro in that state,
each one of which contains an article
against the vandalism of Christmas tree
dealers, and The Conservative with
great satisfaction reproduces the fol-
lowing:
The Phoenix wishes to call attention
editorially to this paragraph sent last
week by it's South Windham CORE
spondent:
"There is one factor in cutting ever

Tree Vandalism. cussions that have
seen, and that is
that those who cut them, tut only the
tops of the trees, cutting from one to
ten feet from the ground, leaving the
limbs below where the tree is cut off to
grow, covering the ground and prevent
ing anything else from growing, which is
positive damage. If those owning trees
will observe in how short time these
little trees will produce timber through
judicious trimming it would do more
than anything else to correct the evil.
The practice of selling them as shrubs
is like killing the goose that laid the
golden egg, for on very much of the
land that grows spruces nothing else
will grow"
This correspondent is a man of in.
telligence, who knows what he is talk
ing about. He was born and raised
among our Vermont hills. His state
ment shows that there is nothing what
ever to the claim that the young spruces
and frs are sold because the farmers
want to get rid of them to clear and
restore their pastures. The trees are
sold, with no knowledge of their actual
value, because there is present paltry
dollar in them, without regard to their
future worth and possibilities. The
vandalism is worse than we supposed,
or at first charged. 1t gives one the
shudders to think of the old hills and
pastures covered with the desolation of
these sawed-off skeletons.
