Burying Trees

Strangers visiting Lincoln Park and
Fruitmere during the winter and
spring months are frequently nom
plussed by the hillock-like elevations
which they see in the orchards that
resemble the mounds reared by the
Chinese over the sepulchers of their
ancestors.
Their surprise is intensified wher
they learn that within each one of
these is a peach tree which is pro-
tected from the frost by a covering of
burlap, hay, straw, or such light rub
bish as may be found about the prem
ses with perhaps, little earth thrown
over it to make it secure against the
wind.
The peach tree is native of semi
bloomer. Were it not protected in
our warm winters the buds would
develop SO rapidly the spring frosts
would catch the bloom and kill the
fruit Therefore the trees are buried
and the buds kept dormant till dam
gers of frost are past.
1t occurred to Thomas Abt, for
mer rancher on Lincoln Park, about
twenty years ago that if he buried
his peach trees in the fall and kept
them covered until the blooming peri
cd was over in the spring he could
grow a crop of fruit every year. His
experiments in this direction were a
success and it was not long until 9TH
ers began to emulate his example
with gratifying results.
In few years the custom of bury
ing peach trees had become general
and is now regarded as equivalent to
a guarantee of crop. AS has been
indicated the covering of the trees
is not so much to protect them from
the cold during the winter as to throw

The Philippine Junket.

Plans for the summer trip of Sec retary of War Taft, members of con gress and others to the Philippines have been made public. The secretary will have in the party ten United States senators and nearly a score of congressman. They include both dem ocrats and republicans. The itinerary provides for short stops at Honolulu. Yokohama, Nagasah and Kobe. In order to prevent any misapprehensioD on that score it is announced that the several ladies and others accompany ing the official party will pay their own expenses.
 A month perhaps will be sl mt in the Philippines. Railroad. as we'll as governmental, problems are to be studied on the ground. and it is be- lieved that those democrats who have been loudest in shouting "the Phil ippines for the Filipinos," will get more thoroug conception of the situ- ation on this journey. They will have an opportunity. for one thing, to study the miniature revolutions now in progress there, of which there are several and about which little is re- ported. They should. indeed, obtain some very practical ideas of the Phil ippines government-as Secretary Taft gained by his long experience there.
 A couple of millions of dollars are to be expended this year in railroad building in the islands, and the con gressmen will see how 1t can be spent to the best advantage, also what other appropriations the Fiftyninth congress should justly consider. As to the mat ter of tariff reductions on certain i'm ports that will materially assist in the development of the islands nothing will do more good than this sermon ac- companied by illustrations on the spot.
 On the whole, this junket ought to result in better understanding among the antagonists of the admin istration as to the requirements of the Philippines and the real needs of the people. It will disclose. no doubt that immediate Independence is not one of them. And that is why the trip Is being made.

The Gold Standard Universal.

It is but a few years since the an nouncement that Mexico had changed her financial system to a g.sld basis would have created an international sensation Mexico was one of the il lustrations chiefly relied upon by the advocates of free silver. The country had developed liberally and rapidly under the wise administration of Diaz. The changes attributable to stable and orderly government, to the great influx of outside capital and energy and the development of native resources, were assigned to the fact that her coinage was on a silver base. Experience without agitation has shown differ ently.
 Mexico's internal development has reached point where her commercial relations with other countries are very large and important. It has been found impossible to safeguard these without a suitable rate of exchange. When the purchasing power of the dollar varied daily in foreign markets, business was crippled and curtailed. For her cwn sake Mexico has been obliged to adopt a fixed standard that is. to go to the gold basis.
 This change. like that of other coun- tries, Is not consequence of any agi- tation. of any fixed financial scheme, of any conspiracy on the part of any body, but is exactly such a trade movement as throws aside any impIe- ment after a better has been found. Mexico really had no option in the matter. The change from silver as a standard began away back in the last century. It was not engineered to benefit or to oppress anybody, but was exactly the same sort of movement that substituted the moving machine for the scythe. One country after an- other fell in with it because they were all obliged to. To stay out meant com mercial loss as well as financial confu- sion. without any benefit in the end. The gold standard has now become substantially universal

The Problem of the Idle.

One of the more advanced of the sociOlogists who has been scanning the social horizon anxiously has discovered an idle class which she believes Is bound to consti- tute serious menace if profitable em- ployment is not immediately found for

tage than those countries have known since 1873. During the past five years there has been a steady increase from year to year. In 1901 the number Of paupers was 7O4, ,446. In 1905 the num- Der. as we have seen, is S23.S54.
 The decadence of agriculture in that country, the flocking of the rural pop tremendous competition of American and German manufactured products with those of British origin are the chief causes of these conditions. The man who sees these conditions and comprehends their perilous signifi- canoe more clearly, perhaps, than any other is Joseph Chamberlain; and there is not much doubt that his at tack on the English free trade system and plan for restoring the protective system, with the free admission of products from Canada. Australia, South Africa, India and other British possessions, are regarded by him as the only available means for arresting the blight which is sweeping over the population of England and Wales.
 Rider Haggard is now in this coun- try under the auspices of the Cecil Rhodes trustees with q view to inves- tigating our own social and industrial conditions, and especially the coloni- zatIon plans of the Salvation Army It is thought that one result of this inquiry and the scheme in the inter est of which it is made will be q sys- tenn of wholesale deportation and col onization of British paupers. largely 10 South Africa. That would be repeat ing methods adopted by England 200 years ago and over when she sent large numbers of her incompetent, worthless and vicious dependents to America, where they were bound out at service for a series of years, and go entered into the early life of this country.
 Whatever scheme or number of schemes may be adopted, there is no doubt as to the urgency of the situa- tion and its growing seriousness. Eng land Is facing an industrial and social crisis which will require wise states manship for its solution; and in the settlement of it America as well as Germany may find their interests in- volved to a degree few in either coun- try now anticipate.

its members. This class consists of young women who have finished school and whose parents are able to support them in afluence, and who are. there fore. deprived of the privilege of join ing the army of the employed.
 For these the soclologist advocates the establishment of normal courses in suitable institutions for the purpose of directing their now superfuous ener- gies into practical phllanthropic chan nels. She explains at length her plan in Charities" an eastern sociological paper, claiming for 1t that it need not interfere with a young woman's social career as 1t would not consume more than four or six hours a day. and that it would possess the inestimable ad vantage of fitting her for the responsi- bility of married life. It sounds very we'll and it Is possible that in prac- tice it would prove even better.
 But. nevertheless. there is something to be said in favor of the idle. espe- cially of the idle represented by this class to which the sociologist has re- ferred. It Is doubtful. indeed, whether those young women who have finished school and who have returned to their homes to enter once more into the family life there are the idle creatures that the sociologist would have the public believe. To many of these the odds and ends of the worlds task fall and they perform them most satisfac- torily.

Can Mir. Roosevelt be PersuadedP ?

When President Roosevelt was at the Grand Canyon. two years ago. 1t was pointed out to him that in mere ly passing through the northern part of the territory he was missing a sight of the real Arizona, and that he should see Prescott, Phoenix and the Salt section of the territory generally, if he would get at first hand a satisfac- tory idea of this region. He confessed his disappointment at not being able so to arrange his itinerary as to take larly, and he promised that he would come and see us at a later date. He indicated that he might come within two or three years.
 It may be that the opportunity is now at hand. He will be at San An tonic, Texas, this week, at the reunion of the Rugh Riders. Thence he Is to
  trip, and it is expected that he will then return directly to Washington, although Albuquerque and Santa Fe are hoping that he can be induced to take a detour into New Mexico. Why could he not come to Arizona. before or after his hunting trip? It is surely worth while for Arizona's representatives at San Antonio to UT gently invite him to come.
 Certainly. upon being urged by Gov ernor Kibbey and the other Arizon- ians to make a real visit' to Arizona and become acquainted with this terri tory and its people, MT. Roosevelt will not lightly decline. It would result in vast good to the territory if the trip could be arranged.
