TR EES ARE OF
GREAT BENEFIT

Kansas City Journal:
A half million trees a year for west
ern Kansas farmers sizes up the work
OF the Dodge City, Kan, forestry sta-
ton. It hasn't been 50 many years
since tree was a curiosity on the semi
arid plains Of the west. Now little
clumps Of timber can be seen on every
hand. They render a valuable service,
too. They furnish wind breaks for
stock in the winter, shade in the sum
mer, check hot winds and bring mois-
ture.
There has been a wonderful change
in climatic conditions of western KAN
sas," said Representative Chalk Bees
on. II can remember when the biz
would kill cattle by the thousands and
the hot winds from the south would
burn up crops and pastures in the sum-
mer. We got caught coming and going.
Now we are not bothered with either.
The trees break the billiards. in winter
and the hot winds in summer. The
saving to the farmers in cattle alone
runs into the thousands of dollars.
And as for crops, we haven't known of
failure since the trees got big enough
to do business"
The salvation Of the western country
depends more upon trees than on irri-
CATION. Only small part of the coun-
try can be irrigated at all-the river
valleys. The government is spending
$3.50, 900 making irrigation experiments
around Garden City. II they prove
successful the farmers in the long run
will have to foot the bill. II they fail
the government will be the loser. But
irrigation affects only small area. II
is the handling of the upland at a
profit that will count. And it seems
that trees offer the only solution OF
what has seemed a difficult problem.
The government has set aside 10000
acres of land in Finney county for a
tree reserve. Experiment will be made
to find out what species of timber ie
best adapted for this country. The arid
districts of Europe, Asia and Africa will
be searcehd by experts for trees that
thrive without much water. AS soon az
the government has it's reserve well
started it will supply trees to western
farmers at. small cost and encourage
them In every way to start groves.
The state now supplies 100000 trees
annually to the farmers. These are
produced at the station and shipped out
in the spring. The farmers simply have
to pay for their delivery. No charge
is made for the trees by the state

EXTRACTS FROM BEST
LABOR DAY SERMONS

Rev. William tArter, First Presby-
terrain Church, Kansas City, Mo.
If anyone should be true to Christ
1t SENS to me that It ought to be the
Workingmen. He is one of you. If
He were here on earth today He would
apply for admission, doubt not, into
the organization Of the carpenters"
Rev. ]. L. Cameron. Presbyterian
Church. Brush, Gel.
1t wss the intention Of the founder
of the church that it should become
an annex to any social, industrial or
political organization, but by furnish
ing a Christian sentiment, the church
disturbs the economics Of wrong
Wherever it exists in organized capt.
tai es we'll as in labor unions"
Rev. G. j. Mcconnell. First Presby-
terrain Church, Superior, Wis.
1.-THE, church and labor are not only
co-laborers with one another but to-
eether with Christ, Who died that these
very same enemies, sin and selfish
ness might be destroyed, and He, our
King and Saviour, has sent us forth
against the same old enemy. We can
not in justice to our common Lord,
present a. divided front to the enemy.
The church and labor must unitedly
concentrate their attention, their SYM
pathy, their money. their love and
their choicest powers as Christ did
his"
Rev. L. c. Grant. Presbyterian
Church. Eau Claire, Wis.
Our churches are Economically or
ganized.- Workingmen have the fran
chtse In our churches as fully as in
our democratic nation. The church
invites them to take as full a share
in it's government and work as they
will. Laboringmen and churchmen are
the same sort in their personnel, prin-
ciples, hopes, endeavors, and the DEM
ocratic character Of their best organ
izations: and they may work together
alphabetically for better men and a
better civilization"
Rev. J. r. Cummings, West End
Presbyterian Church, Ottumwa, Iowa.
I appeal to the laboring man to
help make the church what it should
be. Let us use the argument that
you use In favor Of a closed shop.
You say that it is not right for man
to receive the benefit Of the shorter
hours and better pay secured by the
union, who does not give, his moral
and financial support to that union.
You would not tolerate a man, who,
while not helping to support the organ
ization, would yet find fault with II
for the work that 1t had done. No more
should you find fault with the work of
the church unless you support it. I,
us member, have a right to find all
the fault in it that can, but chal-
lenge the right Of any man outside
Of l.. to find fault or criticise the

LET THE PEOPLE RULE.

AS long as the people have no veto
they cannot at all times expect to pre-
vent undesirable legislation. Unfor-
tunately experience shows that the
corporations and party machines have
more power with a majority Of those
entrusted with legislative power than
the voters have who elected them.
Where the voters have resumed their
full sovereignty and have the power
to initiate laws and also call for a. re-
ferendum VOTE corruption and graft
ing is no longer able to defeat the will
Of the people. This idea is admirably
stated editorially in the Buffalo En-
quirer of recent date, under the title,
People should own government and
says:
There is much discussion about pub
lie ownership Of natural monopolies.
But there Is one thing which is admit
ted
THAT THERE MUST BE PUBLIC
OWNERSHIP OF THE PEOPLES
GOVERNMENT.
1t must not be assumed that this
exists at present. It does not. The
proof that it does not lies in the fac,
that legislation is not always in the in
terests Of the people as whole. Elise
there would be no beef combine. nc
oil trust, no coal monopoly.
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF Gov
