ENDANGERED TREES.

Our correspondent who calls on the Brooklyn
householders to go out and care for the street
trees which are being devastated by worms is
barking up the wrong tree. Nevertheless, he
does well TO arouse interest in the subject and,
In spite Of our sincere devotion to law and or
homilies on the popular habit of disobedience
to law, we hope the residents of Brooklyn will
be moved to mob violence against the worms;
for be it understood, the right and duty Of
caring for the trees belong TO the Park Depart
ment and not TO the citizens before whose
houses the trees may happen to stand.
Once on q time the street trees We're within
the Jurisdiction of the owners of adjoining prop
erty. But few years ago an act was passed
vesting complete control over them in the Park
Department Since then the man has been a
lawbreaker who presumed to set tree in front
of his house without permit from the Park
Department; and, having secured the permit
and paid for the tree with his own money, he
has had no right TO prune it or scrape the
cocoons off it or spray it or otherwise interfere
with it without permit
Now, that act was intended TO serve useful
purpose, and was a good thing from one point
of view. 1t put check TO the reckless deyasta-
ton Of trees by trolley and telephone companies
in the outskirts, where property owners were
indifferent TO their preservation. But il seems
never yet to have daWned on the authorities
that with their power went responsibility. No
effort has been made to care for the street trees
which private persons are forbidden to care for.
Indeed, the Park Department under Mayor Nc
Clelan seems hardly awake to the duty Of
taking care Of the trees in the parks themselves.
AS for the street trees wagons may bark them,
small boys may tear them to pieces, builders
may dig them up and worms may devour them
without disturbing the official sleep.
Some property owners who will not be bound
by the Spanish court etiquette which would let
a king perish before laying sacrlleGious hands
on him TO pull him from the fire defy the law
and try TO preserve the trees before their houses
But why does not the Brooklyn Park Commits
sioner spare them this necessity? If the street
trees are being ruined, as our correspondent
says, why should there be a resort to lynch law
against the worms? Let the Park Department
get TO work Let the people wake up and de-
mand that II get 10 work.

cHTLDREN IN SALOONS.

The work of keeping children out of saloons.
which has been undertaken by Father Curry, of
st. Jamess Roman Catholic Church, is worthy
OF the energetic support of the police and mag
istrates and of the emulation of the clergy of
all denominations in all parts of the city. The
law forbldding the selling OF liquor 10 minors
is perfectly explicit but IT is notoriously dsre-
garded in this city. as If it were merely one OF
those expressions OF ''moral yearning" that Dis
trict Attorney Jerome talks about. But even
he we think. would hardly condemn this statute
as a piece Of puritanism which lays upon our
cosmopolitan population a burden too heavy for
II 10 bear. Whatever be the real or imagined
necessity for drink on Sundays or after legal
hours or in places not licensed for the kind Of
traffic they sreedily persist IN carrying on, there

of population in fhe twenty years since that
apportionment have enormously increased the
discrepancy. There are now six constituencies
with from i61, $50 10 217 0S5 inhabitants. five
of them being Conservative, and six with only
from 1887 TO 1892 Inhabitants, only two of
these being Conservative. Although partisan
ship should so far as possible be kept out OF
such matters II Is not unnatural for Conserva-
tives TO think that Conservative Romford, with
217,QS5 Inhabitants. should be entitled TO more
representation than Liberal Penryn and Fal-
mouth, With only 1912, or Nationalist Newry,
with only 13,137
Mr.. Gerald Balfour's pending scheme would
not by any means establish ideal equality, but
It would greatly lessen the inequalities. 1t
would leave six constituencies with from 112,-
239 TO 12T, ,495 inhabitants EACH four of them
being Conservative; and six with only from
1891 to 20,1s3 each, Ave OF these being Con-
serYative. 1t would abolish such rotten bor-
oughs" as Bury St Edmunds and Durham,
which are Conservative, and Grantham and
Penryn, which are Liberal, and would give ad-
ditional members TO enormously populous COM
munlties, Conservative and Liberal alike. What
its net effect upon party strength would Do
ii is impossible TO determine with accuracy,
excepting that it would reduce the National
ist representation by about twenty-ireland
would lose twenty-five seats, but two of them
are Conservative. Upon the whole the result
would probably be favorable to a slight degree
to the Conservative party. The measure does
not, however, appear TO have been drawn upon
partisan lines but TO aim at fairly impartial
improvement OF electoral conditions.
New-York tribune., 1905-07-27

is absolutely no reason why the adult drinker
should not be made to get his own liquor.
Probably nobody will have the temerity to
defend the sale Of liquor TO children for their
own consumption. Some may be disposed TO
think Father Curry overparticular in seeking 10
stop the common habit of sending children TO
obtain liquor for their elders, but he Is abso-
utely right Children should be kept out OF the
saloons When they get liquor for others they
are being taught to get IL for themselves and
are being familiarized with all that degrading
side of life which centres about the saloon.
Especially is this true of girls for not only are
their ideals lowered by this habit. but as Father
Curry says, they are often subjected TO brutal
trea tment in such places. The strict exclusion
OF children from saloons would have decidedly
beneficial influence on their parents. They would
get their supply of beer all right, and at the
same time gain new sense of responsibility
for their children Probably most persons who
send their children into saloons never have
thought of the dangers of the practice. When
parents are made TO realize that the law efec-
lively forbids children to buy liquor, the great
body of them viii come to appreciate the value
Of that protection to innocence and be thankful
for it. A standard of conduct counts for much
in such matters. When children are allowed in
saloons as a matter of course careless parents
think nothing OF It. When custom and law
frOwn on it, families with any desire for respect
ability and any pride in their children win
keep them away; and how much 1t would mean
for temperance and morality In the future if the
small boys and girls OF to-day, even though they
be accustomed TO moderate drinking in their
families. could grow TO the borders OF manhood
and womanhood uncontaminated by the saloon
atmosphere!
Father Curry has not so far, had great success
in Furnishing those who sell liquor TO children.
Whether his proofs were really technically weak
Or the magisterial disposition was 10 consider
childish difddence in testifying q reason for
genuine doubt about the facts we shall not at
tempt to determine. But any magistrate who
fails to give fair weight 10 evidence of sales TO
children and to use his powers to break up this
traffic is unworthy of his Office and should be
removed. This is no field for the exercise by
magistrates of their habit OF deciding in easy
going fashion what they think the laws ought
to be, and throwing out Of court those who
complain OF species of lawbreaking with which
they or their constituents sympathize.
