Save the Shade Trees.

Monticello Express: We are
glad to note the growing disposition
to appreciate and properly value
shade trees which adorn our streets
and bcautify our lawns. There has
been vandallike disposition on the
part OF city conncils and street COM
mittees who have ruthlessly destroy
ed trees in evolving senseless sys-
TENS of gradings and regradings
Telephone and electric light com
panies have chopped and hewn and
destroyed without leave, and some-
times against the vigorous protests
of owners. But the worm has turn
ed. and people with beautiful homes,
that have been made attractive be-
cause of the valued trees growing in
front of them, have discovered that
they have some rights. Recently
the c., M & St. P. Ry. Co. issued a
circular to its roadmasters stating
that it was recently compelled to pay
judgement for 500 damages
caused by the destruction of a shade
tree, aud cautioning them not topper
nit their use for guys in any man
ner that might injure them. A Des
Moines citizen has brought suit
against the authorities of that city
for $500 damages because Of the
destruction of a favorite shade tree.
The fine old trees that grace our
Iowa towns have been third Of a
century in growing, but itonly takes
some irresponsible vandal ten min
utes to destroy them. Preserve the
trees, and make it warm for those who
take eunwarranted liberties with them.

Chinchilla is beautiful soft gray
fur. 1t is not the most durable of furs,
and, because Of the difficulty of getting
the perfect skin, it cannot be said to be
among the least expensive. A muff
and stole Of the real chinchilla cost
easily $1,000 or SO. The tiny chinchilla
itself, not more than twelve inches
long, with plump little body on short,
stout legs, thrives only in the tropics.
The little beasts have to be killed with
the utmost precaution not to injure
their fur, that grows ON a skin nearly

A Worldwide Wave.

The annihilation of the Tory party
in Great Britain is only one Of the
results of a worldwide wave of
human thought which is now disre-
garding all boundary lines.
The grand dukes of Russia are
nearing the political end of their ex-
istence, the languid English aristo-
Gratis with their monicles are out of
date and the American grafters who
have been shaping the political
moves Of this country Tor many
years are being found out and ex-
posed.
The voice of honest labor is de-
manding square deal in every ma
tion in Christendom, and the trend
of the times is in that direction.
President Roosevelt is opposed to
nearly everything which his party
has stood for in recent years. 1r-
stinctively he seems to have felt the
rising spirit of genuine democracy
and put himself in line with the
times But what OF the party that
elected him? Can a leopard change
its spots? Will an attempt be made,
and if made will the public have
any confidence in the managers of
the organization that has for so many
years favored the scheming few at
the eexpense Of the many who work
honestly and deal fairly?
The only possible chance for the
republican party, to escape the fate
of its Tory cousin in Great Britain,
is to follow President Roosevelt and
get just as far away from its former
self us possible.
