As the World

Age of the Theorists.

The National Civic Federation will

Cleveland to find solution for labor
problems; to evoke some plan to AVOID
strikes, and to formulate an agreement
through which a shorter work day may
be brought about without resort "to
the revolutionary method of strikes.
with the attending distress and too
frequent bloodshed." The intentions OF
the gentlemen who compose the indus
trial committee of the Civic Federation
are perhaps well intended. But what
is the use of such a conference?
Wherein will discussion by theorists
and doctrinaires, with here and there
practical suggestion, benefit either
employers or the employed? What in
formation can the men who will dis
cuss the question in a public meeting
give either manufacturers or workmen?
What influence can they exert on men
with grievances or on two parties In
controversy?-N Y. Sun.

city with William r. Smith, in charge
of the botanical gardens. Mr.. Dana
said of Mr.. Smith that he knew more
about trees than any half-dozen men
Of Mr.. Dana's acquaintance Mr.. Smith
has In his gardens number of his
torlcally interesting trees. There is n
Kentucky oak grown from an acorn
planted by John J. Crittenden, and
story goes with this information about
the intimacy that existed between

the elm grown from one planted by
George Washington at the time he laid
the cornerstone of the capitol. Work
men killed the tree while excavating
for the architectural terrace at the
west front. Mr.. Smith propagated the
new elm from the old roots, and the
new tree was planted where 1t is by
Senator James B. Beck OF Kentucky.
While Jefferson Davis was secretary
of war his wife gave Mr.. Smith some
seed of the Monterey cypress. from
which was produced fine specimen

specimens of the bald variety OF cyp-

ese tree was grown from seed obtained
at the grave of Confucius. and was pre-
sented to the garden by Charles A.
Dana and planted by Representative
