dying utterances of his, will, trust,

take the liberty of sending them
to you as the "father, author and or

special suggestion of your State Super
intendent of Public Instruction, Will

we'll as that of your governor, I have
recently also called the matter
Knowing your living interest in all
that pertains to forestry, and extended
influence, may not take the liberty
of calling your attention to this sub
ject and bespeaking your cooper
alton in advancing the good cause? I
should highly appreciate whatever you
can do.
My attention has been called to
quite number of editorials, COM
menting favorably upon the idea and a
few of these 1 enclose to you.
In the last few days I have heard
favorably from about 20 of our govern
ors: and the governors of Ohio, In
diana, Minnesota, Michigan and Colo
RADIO have written me definitely that
they will incorporate the idea in
Arbor Day proclamations. Governor
S. R. Van SAINT, of Minnesota, after
writing very warmly in the matter,
says: 81 will bear the matter in mind
and will call the attention of our legis-
lature thereto so that the Arbor Day
law may be amended to meet your
suggestions. 1 do not think that,
save in exceptional cases, existing
laws will have to be changed. am
calling the attention of the superin-
tendents Of public instruction in
many of the states to this idea Hop
ing have not trespassed unduly up
OH your time, and that you will kindly
advise me Of any action in the matter,
have the honor to remain,
Yours very sincerely,

message will outline systematic plan
of reforestation and ask for all ap-
preparation therefor, is of especial
interest at this time because Of Pres
ident McKinley's we'll known love for
trees and his utterances in respect to
the same Oh that last Friday Of his
life.
In this connection it is of interest
to know that several of the state ad-
ministration, as we'll as the national
administrations are likely to advocate
through Arbor Day proclamations or
otherwise, the planting of trees in
honor of the late Presidents memory.
1t is Orlin M. Sanford, of this city,
who is responsible for this latter sug-
gestion and who has communicated
with quite a number of the governors
and some of the national officials in
respect to adopting this scheme
From the replies received it is likely
that the state Of Ohio will lead off in
it's forth coming Arbor Day pro-
clamation, as the governor writes
that he thinks it all excellent idea,
and will be pleased to consider it
in his Arbor Day proclamation.
Governor Mclean, of Connecticut,
has referred the matter to the
local press and he is also likely
to take action Favorable replies have
also been received from other govern
ors, including New York, Kansas,
North Dakota, and others are expected
soon. A letter just received from
Secretary to the President, George B.
Cortelyou, indicates that the matter
has been laid before the President for
his consideration, which is likely to
be favorable in view of his attitude
in reforestation. The New York In
dependent thinks the suggestion good
one and writes that the matter has
been put before the proper editor for
a forthcoming editorial OH the sub
ject. The governors of Colorado and
Wyoming are likely, it is thought, to
entertain the idea favorably, especially
as their attention was called to dis
patches from Denver recently, stating
that over so miles of forest in the
mountains between Colorado and Wy
oming were burning.
1t is stated on good authority that
the available forest area of Pennsyl-
vania is equal to strip of II miles
wide across the state north and south,
but this area by the same authority
is said to be diminishing at the rate
of about mile year, so that at the
present rate of progress, or rather de-
struction, which is likely to be in
creased rather than diminished, this
supply will be exhausted in II years.

1t is easy perhaps to dismiss that
tribute as the pathetic sentiment of a
man who was considering the har-
mony and beauty of nature for the last
time, but[s better course is to make
some practical use of it, Mr.. o. M.
Sanford, general agent of the Equit-
able Life Assurance Company at Pitts
burg, suggests in the Dispatch of that
city that our municipalities and
schools and citizens, should perpetu-
ate our late Presidents dying
love for the beautiful trees by
planting memorial Mckinley trees in
honor Of his life and love and death.
In those last words of his, expressing
his dying wish to gaze upon the beau
tiful trees, did he not plant the seed
of thought in our hearts and shonld
we not forthwith carry out that
thought to a legitimate and loving
fruition by planting the trees he loved
so well?" We certainly cannot have
too many incentives for the stimula-
tion of tree planting. The plea of
utility is all sufficient were it's force
adequately estimated. But sentiment
is frequently an even more powerful

serve and multiply them. The last
