Protection for the Shade Trees.

It seems almost Incredible that the
superintendent Of parks would tell an
employee Of telephone company to cut
trees wherever it was necessary in order
to facilitate the stringing of telephone
wires, and furnish the men to do it, but
that is the superintendent admission
in court yesterday.
There is something wrong about this
matter Of the control of shade trees
planted on the streets. Most of these
trees are planted by the property own
ers. They pay all the expense of hav-
ing them dug up in the woods in win
ter and planted in the grass plats be-
tween the sidewalk and the curb. They
naturally feel that those trees belong to
them. They take care Of them, water
them and fertilize them, and generally
see to the trimming and sometimes get
them neatly shaped up, when along
comes some employee of the park board
who seems to take sort of fendish
delight in spelling them, and, without
the knowledge Of the houseowner, pro-
ceeds to cut the life out Of them. The
man who planted them and has nursed
them for years is naturally and properly
mad, and he makes an awful roar about
it, only to- find out that the law gives
the park board jurisdiction over the
trees standing outside the sidewalk in
the street and that he is without
remedy.
It is bad enough for the householder
who has taken pains to keep his trees
in good condition to see them slashed
and mutilated on the dangerous theory
that the park board men have any care
about how they do it, and know how
the trimming should be done, but when
the superintendent Of parks goes 80 fa1
as to authorize the trimming Of beauti
full shade trees to accommodate tele
phone company wherever necessary
to serve the convenience Of the hnemer
engaged in stringing telephone or tele
graph wires, it is time to change the
superintendent or the law or both. W.
would like to see some man or dozer
of them, if, need be, go to the Legislature
this year for the express purpose Of Sc
curing legislation to protect what shade
trees the tornado has left Us from tn,
superintendent Of parks and the wire

movers. 1851

The Discovery Of sateiIte.-A new
satellite has been discovered, or, rather.

called Phoebe which was first noticed by
Professor Pickering Of Harvard in 1893.
and has sine ebeen lost to the astronomi-
cal world, has recently been found again
on some Photographic negatives made at
the Harvard subsidiary observatory at
Arequipa, Peru: Professor'C. A. Young OF
Princeton, in an article in the Aug. 20.
issue Of Harper's Weekly, describes the
finding of the satellite and its history SO
far as astronomers are concerned. The
first discovery of Phoebe remained long
unconirmed because Saturn Is now very
far south, while all the great telescopes
are in the northern hemisphere Then,
too, Saturn has been passing over the
region Of the Milky Way, which IS so
crowded with small stars as to render ex-
ceedingly difficult the detection OF such
an object as Phoebe. The satellite Is be-
lieved to be about two hundred miles in
diameter. But the data at hand now leave
no doubt as to the existence Of Phoebe.
and a formal bulletin to that effect has
just been issued from the Harvard OH
servatory. -

The Art of War Exemp1ified.

The fighting Of the last week has
shown, both at Port Arthur and along
the way to Liao-yang, an impetuosity
on the part Of the Japs which might
suggest that they had adopted Dan
tons prescription for the success Of the
French republic Audacity! more au-
dacityll still more audacity!!,' It is
true that audacity planted the French
flag in nearly every capital of Europe,
but Napoleon had audacity and reck-
lessness without the advantage Of stra-
tegic ability which the Japs have, as
shown in their movements in Man
churia, since the crossing Of the Yalu
river. The Russians made their first
blunder in permitting weakness in their
defenses at that most important point.
It is, indeed, likely that they lacked the
troops then. Lying about their mill
tary and naval resources and their
ability to "drive the Japs into the
sea- was their besetting sin before
they had a tactual experience of the
fighting qualities Of the men of Nippon.

Parker's Trust Busters.

The trust busters whom Judge Par
ker has selected to manage his cam
paign or who have selected him for
their candidate, it doesn't matter
which, are De Lancey Nicoll, prom
inent corporation lawyer of New York;
August Belmont, the New York banker
and railroad man; J. NJ. Guffey, leader
of the Pennsylvania democracy and a
petroleum king; John R. Mclean, the
Cincinnati millionaire; ex-senator
Smith of New Jersey, man of vast
corporation interests, and Senator Mar
tin of Virginia, identified with large
corporations. When this bunch gets
busy the trusts and the favored inter-
ests will know it.
But there is more Of terror to evil
doors yet. The New York state COM
mittee, is closely associated with the ma
tional committee and the chairman of
that organization is Cord Meyer of
Brooklyn, one of the most important
men in the E"sugar trust,'' while the
chairman Of the democratic state execu-
tive committee is Patrick McCarren, q
state senator and interested in two or
three Of the biggest trusts and COM
binations~in the country.
1t can readily be seen how nervous
the trusts must be over the bare pos
sibi1ity Of the election Of man who
comes into the presidency under the in
fuences which surround Judge Parker,
and to which he will owe his election if
he should happen to be elected. Pos
.sibly the judge has taken with these
gentlemen named the same position
toward the trusts that he assumed
toward the tariff in his speech Of &C
ceptanoe.

has succeeded in establishing satisfac

ROUGH RIDERS WELCOME THERE

Senator Bard Of California had an ex-
perience illustrating how a rough rider
is given precedence of all other callers
at the White House. He went there with
a constituent who had been in the presi-

and the senator said: ''Mr. President I
want to present to you one Of your former
soldiers why, hello; JIM shouted
the president. I'm glad to see YOU
Then there was ten minutes talk Of
Spanish war experiences, in which SEN
ator Bard took no part. AS the rough
rider turned to go the president said:
Come UP to dinner with me tonight.
Don't bother to dress. And, by the way,
bring Bard with you. /"

There is no doubt Of the desperate
character Of the Russian defense. They
show better artillery practice than
heretofore, for hitherto they have been
overwhelmingly distanced by the Japs
in this arm Of military service. In the
Russo Turkish war, the czar's artillery
was, in the opinion Of the best experts,
wretchedly Ineffective. Since then,
many schools Of instruction have been
established, but, at present, the Rus
SLAMS seem to be learning how to handle
artillery from the Jap practice. Mod
ern field artillery has at thousand
yards a greater velocity than the old
nine-pounder had at it's muzzle. The
war in the east is fought with modern
implements on the sea and on the land.
