White Pine For Reforestinc.

Observations and experiments IN
northern states lead our forest experts
to recommend white pine as the most
suitable as we'll as the most profitable
for planting on low priced lands in sec
tionS where reforestation is desirable.
In many cases al that is needed is to
encourage and lirect the natural proc
esses of rcforestation.
Opinions differ among forest authori-
ties as to the best Seeding for the
average conditions of northern soil. All
agree, however, that rcforcsting should

New England farms and are cheap for
the purpose. But some experimenters

How the People of IL Kansas Munich

This probably is the only town in
Kansas, and perhaps in the west, where
official provision has been made for the

Sedan IS typical of the smaller coun-
ty seat towns of Kansas. With
population of 2,0C0 like all other county
capitals, it numbers among its citizens
many retired farmers, many old sol
diers and quite Il sprinkling of ex-
county officials. AS in many county
seats in Kansas, these three classes
form an important and interesting part
of the population. Until the oil boom

IDEAL MODERN TOWN
PROFESSOR LUCY NJ. SALMON OF
VAssAR DESCRIBES 1T.

Makes strong Plea For the Neg
Iected Thousands In Their Hours
of Leisurc-'aThe Wrecks of Human
ity" and the saloon.
The ideal town Of the twentieth cen
fury is thus defined by Lucy Maynard
Salmon, \. NJ. professor of history at
Vassar college:
"A town with clean streets, well
sprinkled streets lined with we'll cared
for shade trees.
streets and roads that are freed
from blllboards that are a stencil in
the community
/ Vacant lots now used as dumping
places turned into attractive squares.
Benches along the roadside for
weary pedestrians.
Back yards that are visions of
beauty instead of eyesores.
"Window boxes that brighten dull
walls and recreation piers on the banks
of the river.
"All these make for patriotism as
well as for civic beauty and righteous
ness.
''If it is true that the boy without
playground is father to the man with
out a job we may well shrink from
looking into the future Boys and girls
are turned loose on the streets. Mis-
chief, vice and crime result, and when
these conditions become unbearable we
turn to the curfcw as negative
means of dealing with conditions that
ought never to have existed"
Miss Salmon also makes plea for
social reform. She advances as n con-
trast to the existing aristocratic clubs
a settlement plan which shall provide
amusement ana offer instruction to the
"other half"
In her plea for the neglected thou
sands In their hours of leisure Miss
Salmon says:
What remains for the other half of
the community but The saloon, where,
as some one has said, man for five
cents may join the most democratic
club on the face Of the earth? The
wrecks of humanity are wrecks mainly
through lack of social intercourse that
has had legitimate means of gratifca-
tlon''
Miss Salmon turns to the Daughters
of the Revolution to help better condi-
lions in the world particularly in this
corner of it,
Gould the Governor Clinton house
become Il social center, could it become
a town house where could be found the
headquarters of organizations yet to
be formed, like the City Improvement
society, could it be the visible express
sion of public opinion united to Sc
cure civic bettermcnt in all of these
ways, then would it have passed on to
a future generation the torch received
from heroic past"

A wealthy Manufacturers Interest.

4 wealthy manufacturers Interest,
John H. Patterson, Il wealthy manu-
facturer Of Dayton, o., was u pioneer
in the city beautiful" movement
which led to the formation of the
American Civic association. A Day
ton paper says that Mr.. Patterson is
not losing a single opportunity to make
a more beautiful Dayton, as is attested
by the work he has had done at Sixth
and Jefferson streets This Is where
the Big -Four, Pennsylvania and Erie
lines cross Jefferson street. The bill
boards, big iron fence and dingy little
watchman's shanty have been an eye
sore for Il hong time. About 100 men
were set to work to beautify the place
Mt Mr.. PattcrsOns expense. Rows of
shade trees We're planted near the
fence, and 'shrubbery was set inside
the fence on the property of the rail
road companies with their permission.
The telephone poles were strewn with
vines that will make them veritable
pillars of green before the summer is
over. West of the street there is a lit
tie strip of ground owned by the rail-
road companies, and this was filled
with trees and grass seed sown. With
in year it will form pretty little
park and become Il resting place for
the tired pedestrian. Other places of
a similar nature will, it is understood,
be given the same treatment, the re-
suit being that Dayton will be made
still more beautiful

influence. We write this with feel
ing of state pride. Washington has
done we'll in continuing in the lower
house Messrs. Jones, Cushman and
Humphrey. At the end Of their pres
ent term they will have served, the
two former eight years, the latter four
years. 1t is known to all that a man
serving one, or even two terms has
little chance to more than acquaint
himself with the rules of the house
and the routine of business, and that
then if retired the state loses all
chances of gaining much from his SER
vices. Hence it has been the custom
in many of the older states to continue
members particularly if they showed
quickness and adaptability-for several
terms. or as long as they desired to
remain in public service. The leaders
in congress today, and it has been so
almost from the beginning, are wheel
horses, having gained their influence
and prestige through long experience.
The state of Washington, therefore,
has made no mistake in keeping in
office three such men as Messrs. Jones,
Cushman and Humphrey. And without
disparagement to the aspirations of
any who may desire to fill so honorable
a position as congressman, the people /
should think twice before they make
change.
A congressman's or senator's status
at the national capital is understood .
by the committees he is assigned to.
There are a few committees that have
to deal with the most important legis-
lation of the country. such as the
ways and means committee. commit
tee on appropriations, on irrigation,
the judiciary, etc. New members are
seldom assigned to these committees.
It will be observed, upon examination,
that some of our congressional delega-
ion are upon all of. these committees,
| fact that speaks volumes for the
standing and influence they possess.
The state of Washington is in the
infancy of its greatness. Great as
las been the growth and development

ITALIANS FOR SAW MILLS
The Incompetent and Unreliable Negro
Being Displaced in the South

At tn meeting of the Interstate Saw
Mill Association at Jacksonville a few
days ago many matters Of interest to
the trade were considered, but no ac-
ton was taken on the matter Of furth-
er advances in prices although it is un-
derstood this will follow at the meet
ing next month.
One matter of great importance dis
cussed at length was that Of securing
foreign labOrers. The proposition of
Mr.. B. F. Book, third vice president
and general manager Of the Italian
American Agricultural Association of
New York to locate colonies Of Italian
laborers in the southern states, which
has already been accepted by eight OR
ten large manufacturers was laid be-
fore the association.
After considerable discussion the sec
rotary was instructed to furnish each
member of the association with a copy
Of the proposition in full and at the
next meeting of the>association def
mite action will be taken. In the
meantime, it is understood, quite a
number Of manufacturers will close
contracts with Mr.. Book for certain
numbers of these laborers, who will
later bring their families and locate on
lands to be secured by the Italian

Mr.. Blackburn seems to put more
confidence in the ability of lawyers
than in the jury which is to try him.
He seems to think that it will take the
best legal talent to be had in the coun-
tr to secure his innocence. If he can
make it so plain to a jury that he is
not guilty of the charges preferred
why is it that he thinks it necessary
to employ such noted LAYERS to defend
him as Hon. John G. Carlisle and

the best local legal talent? Does it
take such LAWYERS as these to convince
twelve sturdy North Carolinians that
he is not guilty?

The fact that the railway rate bill

subjects in congressional circles in

won by the democrats Is admitted
everywhere. and though Senator. Till

Of the presidents close advisers in the
senate. There is a general DISPOSE
ton among the democrats of the sem
ate that the Tillman-Hepburn bill. as
it is now known. should be passed
with little amendment as possible.
The debate on the bill begins next
week and both of the North Carolina
senators will speak in favor of rate
legislation. Every n in Washing

description of the bill as something
which the presidnet handed out to
Hepburn on a waiter, saying, Here,
