PLANT MORE TREES

Singular as it may seem, California
is one of the very few states that has
not sanctioned the observance of Ar
Dor day. Yet few commemorative in
the Union have more need of the move
ment which that day commentaries
Tree planting is one of the things
which California should have sys-
tematically encouraged and thoroughly
fostered from the beginning, and yet
it is one of those most neglected. Per-
haps this very lack of an Arbor day
has much to do with this.
True, this state, in much of its area
is heavily wooded now-naturally so
The biggest trees in the world grow
from it's soil. But, just as in some
parts the primeval forests are so dense
that they have never yet been trod
by man, in other portions of her great
area California presents a pitifully
barren and unshaded aspect. 1t is in
these regions that tree-planting must
be encouraged.
For long, perhaps, such a movement
in these districts would have proved
profitess, owing to lack of moisture
This, however, was before the irriga-
ton era, when the natural rainfall
was depended upon. Now great arti-
fetal supplies of water are either al
hand or under development, and irri-
CATION is making a certainty of what
heretofore was but a 'long chance"
Therefore the urging to plant trees
becomes the more pertinent. Arti'
ficially a substitute for abundant rain
fall is or is being created. Nothing
conserves moisture so much as does
ample forestration. Where that has
been denied by nature, man must pro
vide it If he is to get the full benefits
Of his irrigation enterprises.
In the encouraging of tree planting
Arbor day plays an important part
1t rivets the attention of the genera
public on the necessity for such effort
on it's possibilities, its ease and it:
certainty of good results. Arbor day
changed droughty Kansas and Ne
braska into the most fertile spots IL
the great central basin. 1t holds JUS
as great curative results for the SINH
lar regions of Acknowledgements, il
fact, for here there is a climate equalet
by none elsewhere on the globe.
California should have real Arbol
day

Mr.. Baker doesn't know, but the law
requires it.
Mr.. Baker, however, utters himself
thus, regarding this purely business
transaction:
In the first place the railroads adj
vertise in nearly every newspaper and
practically every editor rides on free
pass. This represents a steady fruit
full income and in itself dsposes the
editor to a friendly treatment of the
railroads. How easily this patronage
may be made the vehicle for influence
ing the policy of the paper! The editor
must be a man of strong convictions
indeed to offend regularly one of his
largest clients. And how adroitly the
agent of the road gives or withholds
passes or gives or withholds adver-
Using as the editor is good" or bad"
If Mr.. Baker really is trying to write
justly and fairly of his subject, he either
doesn't know what he is talking about
or he is insinuating an untruth he dare
not utter. If he ever tried to get
of his being a newspaper man, he'd
know his subject better. The real truth
is that he is trying to prove case
without sufficient evidence and he re-
sorts to a "holler" to conceal his lack
of proof. And he will land with it
just where he did with the Milwaukee
and Chicago men he accused so freely
(and unjustly), and who are now plain
tiffs against him in court. And his
employer would save money and the
credit of his magazine IL he called in
Mr.. Baker and gave him few lessons
in the art of obtaining honest infor-
nation.

FARMER AND "PARTY WIRE"
From Success.


When the Independent telephone
companies first began to come together
in conventions to exchange experiences
one fact was always commented upon
with great curiosity by the managers
of town or city plants. This was that
they invariably met with failure in
their endeavors to induce farmers to
put in what are known as lockout"
devices, by means of which every tel
ephone on party line becomes prac-
tically a private wire In cities the
party line is considered great nuisance,
because there is no privacy in CONVEX
sation, and all the bells on the line are
rung each time a subscriber calls.
Naturally, the managers of plants fig
ured that this objection prevailed in
the country also; but, almost without
exception, they found that one of the
great attractions to the farmer was
that his telephone did ring every time
the other sixteen or twenty people on
the line rang up, and that he could
hear or be overheard in conversation.
1t was a practical demonstration of
the social hunger the farmer has en-
dured for centuries, and which is now
ended, thanks to the arrival OF. tel
ephone competition. N

RAILROAD WORLD
WILL MAKE NEW LONG DISTANCE
AUTO RECORD
President of Erie Will Start on Novel
Trip From Pasadena-Salt
Lake Establishes Tourist
Car Line

An automobile. the largest ever con-
structed, equipped with steel Hanged
wheels, is expected to arrive in Pasa-
dena either today or tomorrow. The
machine is the property of the Erie
lines and was built especially for that
road.
If the car arrives in time, President
Underwood of the Erie will leave Paso-
dena March in the car, accompanied
by several friends, for 3500-mile trip
to New York city, going by the Salt
Lake, Union Pacific and Northwestern
to Chicago and thence east over the
Erie.
No attempt will be made to estab-
lish a time record and as nearly as
possible all of the running will be by
daylight. The trip is entirely an eXper-
iInental one.
The car will be stopped at the prin-
cipal stations between Los Angeles and
Chicago in order to allow the officials
to inspect 1t.
The weight of the car is five tons
and it is constructed very much on
the principles of other automobiles, ex-
cept that it is equipped for running
over the railroad tracks. 1t will be
given the same consideration that a
special train is given and the driver will
be compelled to stop at various points
along the line to take orders from the
dispatchers.
This is the first trip of the kind that
was ever attempted and will probably
draw large crowds along the line on ac-
count of the novelty of it. The nearest
approach to trip of this kind is the
trip that was made by the Southern
Pacific motor car by it's own power
from Omaha to Los Angeles.

THE NEWSPAPER
the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
A newspaper which is to be a moral
power must print news of useful
things. 1t must provide such varied
food for the mind that the reader shall
not be gradually permeated with the
belief that all men are corrupt, that
force alone rules and that notoriety is
the highest attainment of life. The
hypnotic effect of exclusive attention
to degrading thoughts is the cause
of many a crime. No newspaper which
is worthy of place In the home will
fail to furnish food for more whole
some thoughts. The daily newspaper
is the greatest power in the world for
progress in all good things.
