SPARE THE TREEs'

From reliable sources we learn that a
great slaughter Of shade trees, along
the roads southwark and ON the lines Of
farming lands, is in process and there
seems to be a mania for this kind OF
destruction. II is to be greatly regret
ted. The beauty Of the landscape ls
marred, and that we believe without
the benefit TO the land which Is expect
ed to be derived from this species Of
vandalism. We ask the farmers to stop
In their imitation Of some rash neigh
bors, until they learn the results Of that
which has been accomplished.
We presume the chief reason assigned
for the cutting down Of old trees, which
have long been an ornament to the
roads and farms where they have -four
ished, is the shade they cast upon tllla-
Bile land and the partial exclusion Of
sun and air There may be something
in that. but we are Of the opinion that
whatever may be gained, II anything,
by the destruction Of the trees, win be
lost in the decrease Of attraction by the
foliage to the humidity which Is 80
greatly desirable In this arid region
Cut down the trees and the rainfall will
be lessened SO too will those atmos-
pheric influences which tend to health
and pleasant temperature.
The planting and cultivation Of trees
both for use and ornament, for fruit
and for shade, have greatly modified
the climate for the better In every
valley of these mountains Each
newly settled vale has become more
habitable and its products more profit
able as It's horticultural foliage has
been Increased How Hat and monot-
onous and forbidding II the scene in
regions that are treeless How beau
tlful is the contrast where the lives OF
farms and roadways are marked by
trees, their leaves rustling in the

tivated tastel

AID FOR FILIPINos.

President Roosevelt is very anxious,
it appears, for Congress to enact the
measures recommended by the Philip
pine commission FOR the betterment Of
the conditions IN the islands Among
thesc are the adoption Of better
monetary system and increasing the
limit Of government land that can be
sold or leased to ore concern. secre-
tary Root specially recommends that
SSO00,OO0 be appropriated for the re-
liet Of distress IN the Islands, and sug-
gest9 that the money be entrusted 10
the Philippine government to expend
at rs discretion n the purchase and
distribution Of supplies, or furnishing
employment in the construction Of
roads or other public works. The soli-
citu1e shown for the islanders is most

THE DIVIDED POWERS.

Great Britain protests against the
permission granted by tn rkey FOR Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyers to pass
through the Dardanelles. II Is sup
posed that Austria and Italy viii also
protest while Germany and France will
remain silent.
This is very significant as an indlca-
ton Of the general European political
situation. In the Venezuelan matter,
Great Britain and Germany have been
called allies, but IN the Turkish ques-
ton their interests are divided. In the
same way, Germany, Austria and italy
are united in the Triple alliance, but
the two last mentioned countries In
this matter side with England and not
with Germany. old-time lines Of sym
pathies and antlpathles are evidently
being obliterated and new combina-
tons are being formed
one OF the significant features is the
rising antagonism between Russia and
Germany. Recently Russian high OIL
cial called attention to what he termed
the rising wave Of pan-Germanism and
declared 1t to be a menace to the Slays.
He urged vigorous action to prevent
Russia from falling victim to what
the writer calls "the merciless self
seeking in politics and commerce" Of
the Germans.
Formerly il was Russia against
Great Britain At every point their In
terests seemed TO come in conflict AT
present Germany seems to appear as a
menace" to Russian plans, The alb
sence Of German protest against the
permission to send Russian ships
through the Dardanelles. would appear
TO contradict the Russian fear FOR Ger
many, but the motive Is clear enough.
Germany does not wish to embarrass
the Sultan. It was friendship for Turkey
and not for Russia, that prompted the
silence. And that itself is omlnous, It
may mean that IL Russia should enter
tain any designs upon Turkey. It would
have to deal with Germany too

FORECAST FOR THE YEAR,

An sorts Of forecasts have been made
for the year that has just commenced.
Astrologers have also spoken, but most
ly in so general and ambiguous terms,
as TO render their forecasts entirely
Halueless.
The stars, we are told by one OF the
modern Magi win fight for the better
ment of mankind this year. Capricorn
and Uranus as well as Aquarlus are
preparing to work many marvels for
the world generally and for Uncle Sam
in particular. But there will be exciting
times, before the efforts OF the stars
IRE crowned with success 1.-THE navy"

usually actlve-l might say aggressive

able. - New territory Will be az
quired in the present year. There will
be much tension in diplomatic circles
during the spring and autumn quar-
tiers, while the summer months Will
witness favorable activity in all chan
nels,"
Too bad, that the united efforts Of
Capricorn, Uranus and Aquarlus cannot
prevent the aggressive activity Of our
navy. or the landing Of troops, proba-
