Washington Star.
Politicians may disagree as to the public
virtues of j. Sterling Morton. whose death
is just reported. But those Americans who
love nature. who feel that the State ives
her a debt and who believe in the possibil-
ity of training the people to love her IN
turn will agree that Mr.. Morton made a
high mark for himself if only through his
encouragement of tree planting. As the
author of Arbor day, he established a Gus
tom which, with proper development, may
solve one of the great problems of the
future. He inculcated into the farmers of
the country a respect for a growing tree
which few of them possessed before. He
DEMONSTRATED that tree culture is a prac-
teal necessity of the day, when all the
tendencies of modern industry and trace
are toward tree destruction. The public
conscience was unquestionably somewhat
Smitten in regard to the wantOn waste of
trees which the decades had witnessed. and
it required some such quickening touch as
the suggestion of Mr.. Morton 10 work re-
form. That reform has only just begun,
however, and IL will need persistent work
by the tree lovers and the practical for
esters TO keep alive the sentiment which
has already gone so far in works. There is
an essential difference between teaching
children that a tree has a commercial and
a social and a sentimental value combined,
and practically checking the devastation of
waste. There must De system and law.
Arbor day will serve well the purpose of
keeping the sentiment for the trees alive.
1t will furnish the motive power perhaps of
a great national movement. But without
laws and the cooperation of the men of
usine whose interests now seem to lie in
the way of forest destruction. that ceremo-
NAL will not avail TO any great extent in
checking the devastation. Mr.. Morton was
not a dreamer in this matter. He recog-
nized that the sentimental love of the tree
would be of little worth without legal
measures sustained by business interests.
But with hundreds OF thousands of children
annually participating in ~tree-plantlng
rites and learning the lesson they teach,
the enactment and execution of laws, far
seeing and practical, will surely result.
Out of public sentiment, created by just
such means. grow great works.

FREIGHT RATE QUESTION
1T WILL SOON BE DISCUSSED WITH
UNION TRACTION COMPANY.
Shippers Committee and City officials
Will Take Part in Conference
Municipal Affairs.

Interurban freight rates in and out of
indianapolis will be discussed next week.
If an appointment then can be conveniently
arranged between the officials of the Union
Traction Company, the committee from the
indianapolis shippers. of which James l..
Reach is chairman, and Mayor Bookwalter
and the Board of Public Works. Mr..
Reach and George o. Griffin. of Schnull &
Co, a subcommittee. called on Mayor
B~ookwalter yesterday afternoon and dis
cussed the arrangements. Besides those
named Harold B.. Hibben. of Hibben. Holl-
veg & Co, w. ]. Mooney, Of the a. Kiefer
Co, and F. L. Mayer are members of the
shippers committee.
w find all interested in the solution of
this question: said Mr.. Reach. ready to
do the fair thing. The shippers here be
lieve that the city has made a good inter-
urban contract. and we find Mayor Book
walter ready n willing to enforce it. 1t
is equally true that the Union Traction
Company appears in the same spirit L took
10 the mayor a letter l received from c. w.
Mcclure assistant to President McCulloch,
in which he explained the gravity of the
question not only as affecting Indianapolis
but many other points where the company
has been receiving freight. In this letter
MCGUIRE suggests TO the committee that 1t
become familiar with the present freight
and express rates of the steam railroads
He also says that the question was so i'm
portant with the Union Company that 1t
had decided to enter on no system OF
freight transportation nor terminals until
definite plans had been discussed and made
satisfactory to all interested. From his
letter 1 take it that the company is ready
10 be fair in the schedule, which, under
its contract. it will have TO adopt.
MANY of the shippers believe that II the
traction companies can afford 10 haul pas
sengers for one-half the present rates
charged by steam railroads ii would be
fair for them TO transport freight for at
least one-half the rates now charged by
steam roads. The committee will use these
rates as an advisory basis. doubtless, after
a proper classification has been made. L
ave written Mr.. Mcclure, asking that he
fix a convenient date early next week"

VIII Open Bridge Bids To-Day.

Bids for the construction Of a bridge
across White river at Washington street
will be opened by the County Commission
crs at 10 o'clock this morning. There is a
prevailing apprehension that no bids for
a stone bridge will be within the appropri-
alton OF $4,000 made by the County Coun-
Gil for an S0-fOot bridge. A sentiment has
been growing in favor OF stone since bids
were advertised for. and COMMISSIONS Nc
Gregor has expressed himself as being In
built of stone. This cannot be done with
out a special session OF the County COun-
ell. as IL made the appropriation for an
A-toot bridge. MeGregor thinks that a
60-foot bridge would be adequate. basing
his calculation on the capacity OF the VIA
duct. Indications are that few iron men
will enter the contest for an iron bridge.
and the principal bidders will be combina-
ton iron and concrete bridge builders. II
is expected that a number OF foreign COM
panies will enter the contest.

Defective Vault Cleaning.

City Sanitarian Buehler has taken up the
effectiveness of vault cleaning. complaints
of which have been made. Orders of the
sanitary force to clean vaults result in
numberless cases Of only a partial cleaning.
This, the sanitarian believes, is frequently
worse than no cleaning and in strict vio-
lation of the city ordinance giving the
board it's powers. He has, therefore,, di-
rected that letters be sent to all the vault
cleaning companies and real estate men
citing the ordinance provision and notify
ing them that a strict compliance will be
exacted. DIR. Buehler thinks it will not be
long before the Board of Health will ask
the passage of an ordinance requiring all
vaults that may not be connected with
sewers to be so connected.
