PLANTING FRUIT TREES

Seventy-five per cent of the fruit
trees planted in this city through the
efforts of the Thursday club last year
survived their first summer, and it is
the intention of the club to continue
the work this season. The members
will strive by precept as well as ex-
ample to renew the enthusiasm which
their campaign of education aroused
last year. On Arbor day, Jupiter Plu-
vius being willing, each member will
plant two trees.
But it is the interest aroused in the
school children which has been the
most beneficial result of this special
work. Last spring boys and girls in all
walks Of life received and cared for
seedlings which were sold to them at
nominal price. An effort will be
made this year to keep that interest
active. The schools of the city cooper
ated last year with the club and the CO.
operation will be even closer this year.
Arbor day will probably be marked by
more extensive tree planting than has
ever before characterized the day in
this city.
There is plenty Of room in ST. Paul
for more trees. Fruit trees, the most
beautiful of all. are conspicuous by
their absence. Yet the climate is es-
pecially well suited to certain varieties
of apple and plum trees. In the years
to come the city must be the grateful
debtor to all who plant those trees
now, and especially to those who have
given an impetus to the work of plant
ing.
All the results of the work, however.
cannot be summed up in the trees that
will live and flourish. Practical nature
work cultivates the esthetic side OF
the individual, develops character and
promotes sanity of mind as we'll as
physical health. Tree culture, even IL
the work begins with the care OF one
or two trees merely. is bound to in

THE pELueE OF LAWS

The persistent grinding of the law
| miNs of this country Is fast making
| the United States one of the worst gov
| erned-because It is the most govern
! ed-countries in the world. A writer
| in Golfers Weekly estimates that
there are 100 new laws or ordinances
passed in the United States every day
in the year, and he offers some proof
that his figures are practically correct.
The enormous total of $500 new laws
year is sufficient commentary on the
inutility of most of this legislation.
1t also eyokes the question. what is to
be done to restrict the pernicious ac-
tivity of the lawmakers?
The question is not an easy one to
answer. 1t is not possible to materially
reduce the number of lawmaking
municipal and village law mills. fed
with men who are filled with the idea
that they may leave an impression on
1 their times by putting an important
law on the statute books, these mills
running without cessation. it is not to
be wondered at that we are making
laws so fast. IL the legislators could
be impressed with the necessity for
limiting their work to the enactment
of only such laws as are necessary to
the well being of the body poll
fsa Co..
the future. But nearly every citizen
clothed with the right to frame a law
has in him some belief in the possess
! sion of the qualities of the statesman.
The senator in Washington hopes to
attach his name to a great piece OF
legislation; the house member. with an
to help his district without regard to
the country at large: the state legisla-
tor turns out local bills with a beau
tiful disregard of the general results
there have been introduced in the Min
nesota legislature this session $40
bills; the city father is looking after
when a grateful municipality will
name street after him. The multi
piication of laws makes for the crea-
ton of lawyers and the multiplication
of lawsuits. The legislators know this
very well, but the fact does not curb
their mania for lawmaking.
If the lawmakers could but be
brought to see that their fame is more
likely to endure from conscientious
thought given to one wise law than
from the passage of many laws per-
sonally inspired. there might be some
hope for the future and a falling off in
the number of undigested statutory
enactments. But what is to be done in
the face of the fact that the principal
lawmaking body of Minnesota is
spending months on trifing and un-
necessary laws, while one branch
passes a state code with 1,2OO amend
ments without even reading it?

A TARIEE FAILURE

There could scarcely be more utter
collapse than that which has befallen
the movement for the restoration Of
protective duties in Great Britain.
After several years of lively public dis
cussion, after the championship of
as Joseph Chamberlain. after an open
alliance with the party in power and
after confident predictions that the next
general election would return a pro-
lection majority, the advocates of the
Chamberlain idea do not even dare to
stand up and be counted. A resolution
for division was adopted by vote of
254 to 2
The first effect Of this is to jeopardize
the alliance between Premier Balfour
and Mr.. Chamberlain. They are held
together now only by a consciousness
that either is lost without the other.
The prime minister is convinced that
the Chamberlain policy is a loser. and
would cut loose from it tomorrow il he
did not need the votes of Chamberlain's
followers to keep him in power. Mr..
Chamberlain knows that he has failed
to make a serious impression upon the
country, and votes with the ministry
rather than against it because there is
nothing else for him to do. 1t is merely
coalition of two elements without
common views or common sympathiesy
to prevent as long as possible the in
evitable dissolution of parliament and
an appeal to the country.
The future of the liberal party is
made very plain sailing by this policy.
Every day that the incoherent mass
that represents a majority in parlia-
for the party by which the government
is now nominally conducted. English
men are conservative and accustomed.
to their time honored system. That
system requires political party to re-
tire gracefully from power when it no
longer commands the confidence of the
country and majority in the house.
The conservative party today has
neither. 1t lost the support necessary
for its maintenance when it took up
the Chamberlain tariff idea. 1t would
not have majority today if it dared
to meet a straight vote. Only by
squirming and lodging and absolving
its membership from voting on party
lines, on what is really the ruling party
question in Great Britain today. can 1t
evade the formal defeat that it must
accept as a call for it's resignation.
This course enables its leaders to
hold Office for few weeks or months
longer, but is an expensive experiment.
1t is costing votes every day, and is
more effective than any campaign that
the liberals could wage. The day of a
return to the protective system by
Great Britain has not yet dawned.

MONDAY, MARCH 27, 1905
ONE RUSSIAN VICTORY

sign of Russian success for long
time, and they may now find it in
somewhat unexpected field. By the
refusal or reluctance of the financiers
of other nations to place her loans
Russia experiences a seeming misfor-
tune, but really scores an advantage
over Japan. Her proposed loan of
$100,000,000. has been taken up by her
own people at 90, which is certainly
fair price for Russian bonds at the
present juncture; while Japan's new
loan of $15O,OOO,OOO has been placed
one-half in London and one-half in
New York.
On the face of it the advantage
would seem to be with Japan in COM
pairing these transactions. They GER
tainly prove the confidence of the
world in her ultimate success and in
her financial soundness. There is
hardly money center anywhere today
in which Japan's bonds would not be
accepted as gilt edged security. There
is settled conviction that Japan will
secure a large money indemnity along
with other concessions when peace is
finally made and that the finances of
the empire will thus be placed in a
hoarishing condition. Russia, on the
other hand, must struggle against
manifold calamities, must raise in some
fashion any indemnity to be paid, and
must be the loser by the territory an
nexed by Japan and its revenues, as
well as by the immense expenditure
required to place her military and
naval resources once more in good con-
dition
nevertheless, that nation is happiest
and most secure whose obligations are
held by its own people. The United
States found that out long ago. For
thirty years after the close of the civil
war our credit was practically at the
mercy of the foreign bondholder. Our
bonds were sent back and forth across
l.
tions dictated. Our gold supply was
built up or drained away at the pleas
ure of London, Paris and Berlin. and an
enormous volume of the product of our
daily industry was devoted to the pay
ment to foreign capitalists of interest
on the debt. That these circumstances
affected deeply the national prosperity
and that they prevented that rise TO
financial independence and command
which we have since attained no one
VINO lived through that period will
deny Had the people of the United
States been rich enough at the time
OF the civil war to subscribe for their
own debt and had they held it at
nome, recuperation would have been
far more rapid and the growth of
wealth more immediate.
The feeling against an absentee owner
OF obligations is sentimentally absurd
but economically sound 1t does make
G vast difference whether interest
charges are paid to others in the same
community and spent there, or whether
they go abroad. 1t has great effect.
aise, upon domestic measures. Where
the people themselves own their bonds
and are their own creditors, political
agitation against the bondholder and
the capitalist would not be merely un-
successful. but wiped out Of existence. II
is~a wise and modern policy that sub
rnits bond issues to the people directly
concerned for subscription before ap-
plying to outside money lenders. Rus
