Thorn Trees as Lawn Ornaments.
m Country Life in America.

From Country LIE III aIntrIca.
More than thirty years ago an eminent
hotanist called attention to the beauty of
our native thorn trees and their suitability
for hedges and for lawn ornaments.
Their hardness, graceful shapes, thick
foliage and brilliant fruit clusters all rec
ommend them, while their ability 20 flourish
under severe pruning is added virtue
in the eyes of those who desire formal
shapes. Yet up to the present time our
thorn trees remain the ornaments, not OF
private grounds. but of waysides and pas
lures while the only primers to exercise
their skill upon them are the cattle. which
eagerly browse upon the young shoots.
Many a pasture contains shrubs fitted to
grace Il public park and worthy of consid-
cradle pilgrimage on the part of lovers of
the beautiful

Camping Sites at Seneca, Md.

About Seneca there are inHumerable good
camping places. A favorite place is the
Virginia shore about mile above the dam.
1t is an easy portage from the canal to
the river and when once made renders an
other unnecessary for the next twenty-five
miles The paddle across the dam IN the
evening is very attra ctive. especially II the
Sky is clear The sheet of water, nearly
a mile wide, is beautiful as can be
found near Washington: but canoeists are
sometimes cautioned. about venturing out
on it when there is danger of storm. as
the wind has a grand opportunity to play
ball with light craft.
When in camp here on fine evening
one often hears the voices of singers across
the water. Parties of colored youths and
madens emerge from the creek and spend
several hours floating about on the river
under the stars. singing Old plantation and
jubilee songs. 1t is a good time then to lie
back and dream. The sunset and sunrise
are equally beautiful across the water. II
you make an early start and find yourself
out on the river with the big orb's frs;
rays streaming over you and light morn
ing breeze blowing, you feel like shouting
with 10y and vigor.
No more attractive route can be desired
than the river for the next twenty-five
miles for it winds between islands large
and small. fertile hills and cultivated
farms its waters being neither too rough
nor too shallow and its banks covered
with giant sycamores and elmS. which
throw their welcome shade far over the
boat. On the other hand of the
least desirable portions of tive canal for a
canoe trip is comprised in the monotonous
eight and nine-mle levels above Seneca.
Among the Islands.
About mile above Seneca chain of
islands begins in the river. The first three
are about a half mile in length. and offer
charming little channels. under dropping
trees and vines. to be explored. Various
kinds of birds fit about in the branches

hearing AH1es will be again convicted.
There are abundant reasons why he
should be COMPLETED. chief among which
is that no possible doubt as to his guilt
can exist in the minds of unprejudiced
persons who are familiar with his
case.
When he was mayor Of Minneap polls
Ames was openly and hotoriously in
league with grafters and sharpers of
every description. Be levied tribute
on them and applied the proceeds 70
his personal bank account. The fact
that there was no hope of recovering
stolen money or property for Ames
protected robbers was thoroughly es-
tablished at tie first hearing. That the
second trial did not result in a con-
viction indicates merely that Ames was
able to get enough of his friends on
the jury TO prevent it.
At the next trial. If the prosecutor
can secure competent and impartial jul
rors, a conviction ought TO be brought
about and Ames sent TO the peniten-
tiary, where he belongs. And by the
way. it might be a good idea, in the
interest Of justice. to depose the pros
ecutor who made the motion TO dis
miss and employ some attorney wLo

oDELL's MAN WINS.

r. ONERNOR ODELL has nominated
" his man Higgins for governor Of
New, York. Senator Plat, the one-time
easy boss. was forced to give consent
albeit reluctant. TO the Odell pro-
gramme. but this was merely to avoid
a. fight in the convention. The nomi-
nation of Higgins will hardly help the
Republican national ticket i'm New
York. Higgins is a man of whom lit
tie is known. even in his own state.
He is recognized as Odelrs man, and
that is the only way he is known.
Walter Wellman. the Republican cor
respondent Of the Republican Chicago
Record7Herald. writing TO his paper
from Saratoga the other day, told
about a quarrel between Platt and
Odeil over the governorship. Odel
wanted Plat TO join him and some
friends in a consultation over the nom
Snation. Plat knew the Higgins nom
ination had been practically agreed on.
in spite of his preference for Woodruff.

sis, to enter into any conference re-
garding IT,
Mr. WeImans idea Of the situation
is set forth thusly;

Odell was 'up against it," Odcll is in a
peculiar fix. lie is in the odd predica-
ment of a leader who does not want 10

the head Of the state organization. He
runs the party. He controls the con-
VentiOn. But he is unpopular There are
widespread and deep-seated prejudices
against him. There is a prevalent belief
among Republicans OF high and low de-
gree that If Odell we're TO go ahead and
name for governor a man who would
be subservient TO him-"his man"-such
nomination would cost the Republicans
5000 or 5000 independent votes and

me OF THE HORRORS Of war 10
- which attention is just being
called, is the hardship worked on nom
combatants An English medical mis-
sionary, Dr. A NJ. Westwater, who
was stationed in Lao Yang, reports
that injuries OF a terrible and irrepar-
able character were inflicted on the
non combatants Of that city. They
were not permitted 10 go away from
Lao Yang and many of them were
killed or wounded. Those who did not
suffer tLus were half Starved, without
shelter and without sufficient clothing
DR.. Westwater fiercely condemns the
inhumanity Of the Russians on this
score. He believes provision should
have been made for the nOn-combat-
ants. and common humanity tells us
that he is right. 1t surely would not
have done any harm TO permit them
10 leave the city. and no great amount
of expense would lave been involved
in protecting them from harm. They
were living in their own homes, at
tending 70 their own business, HARM
ing no one. Yet they suffered.
Other sufferers are the tillers Of the
fields that have been soaked with the
blood of Russ and Jap. The dispatches
told of how tie laps made an advance
under the protection of a field Of Chi
nese corn. Other advances were made
through grain fields. painfully Guilt
waited with primitive implements. Corn
and grain were, of course, utterly de-
stroyed And of course there will be
no reconpense for the On-combatants
who have seen their property vanish
in a day.
Such things are wrong. terribly
wrong. but we viii have them as long
as we have war.

THE RATIONAL SOLUTION.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION in
l. Utah these days presents a curious
mixture. Many thousands of voters
will find the problem a difficult one to
solve. May we venture the suggestion
that there is one very easy and very
simple way out of the dilemma. 1t IS:
NoIe the Democratic ticket
The Democratic nominees are absO-
lutely free of any suspicion of the in
fuence so many Republicans are COM
planning about They We're nominated
on their merits. nominated because 1t
was the honest judgment of the un-
pledged delegates to the Democratic
convention that they were the best
fitted for the positions Tor which they
are now asking the votes of the peo-
pie. If elected, and as the days go by
the indications that they will be elected
multiply, they will be no mans crea-
lures. no organizations men.
Vote the Democratic ticket.
As Judge Powers, the brilliant nomi-
nee of the Democratic party for con-
gress, said in his speech of acceptance,
the Republicans have brought nothing
but trouble upon the state since they
came into power. The Republicans
gave us TIE apostle in politics. they
made Reed Smoot senator of the
United States. Ever since we have
had nothing but turmoil and trouble
Faction has been arrayed against fac
ton, class against class. religion
against religion. Our United states
senators, Republicans, both. have de-
voted very much more time to fighting
each other than to looking after the
welfare of the state, unless the secur-
ing of petty offices for influential con-
stituents can be considered regard for
the states interests.
Vote the Democratic ticket.
Put an end now and forever to ma
chine rule OF every kind in tie state
OF Utah. The only way TO smash
Smootism is to defeat the .Smoot tick
e.. The Saioot ticket cannot ebe de-
feated by an independent movement.
IT must be beaten through the Demo-
cratic party. President Roosevelt once
placed patriotism before party when
he bolted the regular Republican noni-
nee for mayor of New York City and
voted and worked for an independent
candidate. President Roosevelt on
that occasion was a bOlter.
Vote the Democratic ticket
There is not a Republican in the en-
tire state. unless he is bound forever
TO the Smoot chariot, who cannot con-
sistently follow the example set years
ago by the present Republican candi-
date for the highest office i'm the ma
TONS gift. The way to smash a ma
chine is 10 smash il. We have little
patience with men who vote merely
for the sake of voting. Put your vote
where il win do some good.
Vote the Democratic ticket.
