GOV. DAVIS MOT GUILTY
Prosecuting Attorney says Records will show that Gov. Davis did not
 draw Indictments.

The Little Rock Gazette of Tues day morning contains the followingvery interesting notice and interview with Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton, which ought 10 prove of considerable interest to each and every gentlemen who heard Gov. Davis, in his recent Brink lev speech. make the assertions attrib- uted 10 him at Prescott. The article Is as follows:
 Governor Jeff Davis in his speech al Prescott Saturday night made the statement that he drew up several of the indictments and that he was re- sDonsible for the poodle investigation nov being conducted by Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton. Governor Davis d0elt al length during his speech on this subject and declared without quali- flcatlon that he drew up several of the indictments on which legislators have been arrested.
 Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton denies inc statement rnads Governor Davis aad states that an investigation of the xscoras In the Circuit Court will show that Governor Davis has not signed any oi the indictments.
 Governor Davis did moi draw any of the indictments. said Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton last night when ask eda5out it. 1t should not bs neces- zary to deny such statement. Any one should know that the indictments were drawn by myself. An investiga- fion of the records will show that Gov. Davis dil not sign any of the indict- ments. Had he drawn them he most certainly would have signed them Had anyone except myself drawn any of inc indictments other names than my own would probably appear on the Indictment

It was one of the most anti Bryan arguments that his policies would imperil the policy-holders in the great insurance companies. and the great benign heads of those companies were solemnly quoted as contemplat- ing with aching hearts the possibility of any Bryanite attack on the money of the widows and orphans.

A MOST IhPORTANT OF-
 FICE.
The Superintendency of Public InstructiOn.-.the
 Man for the place

One of the strongest, best and most prominent educators ot the state in commenting on the state superintend- ency and the great need of a compe- tent man to fill this important office, writes as follows,
 "There is no more important office in the gift of the State than that of State Superintendent of Public lnstruc- ton, and the people are fast coming to realize this. The Superintendent must have the education and culture needed for the difficult work of examining teachers. He must be ]. man of clear judgement and unquestioned courage. He must have the power of effective and entertaining speech. He must have good administrative ability. lie must be man of uayarying sincerity. He must be able to aid the teachers, counsel the directors, and advise the legislature. He must be in harmony with the leaders in educational thought and policy. lie must be man whom the teachers can throuhly trust. Mir Doyne fulfills all these conditions. He is known throughout the State as a frank, sincere. and straightforward gentleman. He is delcately concien- tious and scrupulously careful, He is one of the most effective and interest ing speakers in the State. He has the courage of bis convictions, and the full confidence of those who are shaping and improving the educational policy of our State Such men trust him and are his supporters in this campaign. Fortunate indeed would be the State, fl we could always have such men as Jordan, Hinemon. and Doyne in the office of State Superintendent.
 Prof. J. J. Doyne is unquestionably one of the strongest men in Arkansas edu ,ational circles and is safe msn to hare in this office.

FrSSno, CallfOrnla, Mar. lI, lSOO. Wn. B. Folsom, Brinkley. Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 About one year ago, you were vis itor in the San Joaquin Valley and as you were driven over the thousands of beautiful vineyards, remember your having asked the question what are the drawbacks to this part of the great California countrya" You repeatedly asked that question and was much impressed with the way you asked it, for it appeared to me that you were in tent on getting al the bottom of the matter.
 If you were only out here now you would be able to see one of the great draw backs, which is costing the peo- pie of this section millions upon mil lions of dollars. IL is the floods which are sweeping thro' the San Joaquin and Kings river valleys. There has bsen raging, for nearly 3 days, a storm of such severity as has never been known before, and the fall of snow in 1 the mountains around Fresno has been i frightful to think of, when we know i that this, when melted, will bring up on us untold loss of, possibly, both life and property.
 l remember your commenting upon 1 the remarkable manner the city of
 Fresno had of supplying its citizens with electricity. It begins to look as fl this would also be cut of. The
 Electric current, which supplies both the power for the Fresno Car line and lighting the city is brought in the city { from up in the mountains some 40 ! miles where it is generated by the mountain currents.
 ' Up at Pine Ridge, mountain town ! near Fresno, there is reported l2 foot foot fa f. f of snow, wiiiiiie fully 26 ! feet Is said to have fallen on the { mountain tops. These are the noun tains you thought were such refresh  1 ing sights last Spring. when you were here. When you were so astonished

men to whom this duty is assigned. Trees
are often ruined, "butchered" through un-
shillful pruning. This is matter in con-
nection with tree culture that should re-
ceive careful considera ton. All trees can
not be treated alike in the, pruning process
A system or style which would be benefi-
cial to some varieties would be ruinous to
others. Hence, 1t Is necessary that the
primer be versed In the habits and likes
and dislikes Of the trees Of different kinds.
Goodness Of a Tree.
Nothing adds more to the atrractiveness
of our streets and lawns than healthy
tree and plant life, and Congress ought to
be liberal in providing money for the pur-
pose Of tree planting and culture
The Importance OF trees to wholesome
neighborhood conditions cannot be over
stated, fact which should be appreciated
by the governing authorities in all large
cities and thickly settled communities The
authorities in many of our larger cities
are paying a great deal of attention to
this matter just now. A recent writer in a
New York paper has this to say on the
subject:
ut is not shade alone that makes 1t cooler
under a tree in summer. The GOODNESS of
the tree itself helps, for it's temperature is
about 45 degrees Fahrenheit at all times
as that of the human body is a fraction

more than 9S degrees. So clump OF trees
cools the air as a piece of Ice cools the
water in a pitcher. That is why the legis-
lature has authorized the park authorities
of New York city to plant trees in the
tenement districts. If the air can be made
cooler and purer by the trees fewer children
will die of heat ailments AS 1900 more
children die in New York during June,
July, August and September than IN any
other similar period of the year, the i'm
portance of adopting every known means
to save life is undsputed."
1 believe that our local authorities (the
Commissioners are alive to the Importance
of this subject
The section of the city in which 1 live
columbia Heights) is particularly fortu-
nate in possessing conditions favorable to
the best tree development. Our uniform
building lines and large parking spaces in
front of the houses afford the trees OPP
portunity for perfect growth and ramifica-
ton. AS a result the trees in our section
are, as rule, in good, healthy condition.
Improved tree culture in our streets
should be encouraged.

other varieties. There is nothing in nature,
perhaps, more satisfying to the eye than
the autumn foliage OF these trees. Good
specimens of the red oak may be seen on
Harvard street east Of 14th, and of the
pin oak on Executive avenue between the
Treasury and White House. The Norway
maple may be seen to advantage on 18th
street north of Florida avenue, while the
sugar maple will be seen on Vermont ave-
nue. between Mcpherson and Thomas circles.
The Ghinko.
Another tree that is well adapted to Gull
ture ON our narrower streets Is the ghinko
1t is rather slow of growth, but is hardy
and clean. The old gold tint on the foliage
of this tree in the fall and winter seasons
makes it most beautiful and attractive dur
ing that period. Grand specimens of this
tree may be seen on the extension of 18th
street through the Agricultural grounds.
The oriental plane tree, which is being so
extensively planted just now, does not
meet the requirements of our local cond-
lions. 1t has it's strong features, it is true,
but these do not counterbalance its short
comings. 1t is of rapid. bushy growth, and

interest-the working of this important
function of our local government.
Many of the varieties of trees formerly
planted were unsuited to this climate and
our peculiar local conditions-asphat pave
ments, insect pests. summer drouth, etc.
In the past the authorities have deemed 1t
expedient to experiment with various spe-
cles OF trees, course which has proved
Doth costly and disastrous in many in
stances. Washington seems to be an ex-
pertinent field for all sorts of fads and
fancies. even to the management of our
public school system. In the tree line we
, have had inflicted upon us trees which
are VIGOROUSLY unsuited to street culture
among which may be mentioned the silver
maple, the linden, the chestnut the poplar
the ash. the elm and the sycamore all OF
which have proved altogether unsatisfac-
tory
There are not many varieties that are
suited TO street culture here, under the pc
culiar and exactng conditions which pre-
vail, but a few have thoroughly demon
strated their adaptablity Among these
are the pin, red and scarlet oaks and the
sugar and Norway naples, which meet
the requirements in every respect. They
are all of symmetrical, vigorous and healthy
growth, with beautiful attractive foliage.
They are also reasonably free from insect
visitation which is so objectionable in many
