j. Sterling Morton,
Founder of ATbOT Ddu


AS a result of his resolution Nebraska
is no longer treeless, but has been
named officially the Tree Planters
State"
Following Nebraska. Kansas estab-
lished Arbor day, then Tennessee and
Minnesota followed the example, and
other states rapidly took up the custom
until today it is a national institution.
Mr.. Morton himself had no little part
in popularizing the holiday. He became
a master Of the subject of forestry and
lost no occasion to speak against the
reckless destruction of the trees. When
he first went to his new home there
was only a little cabin, but this soon
was surrounded by a young grove.
Twice the home was rebuilt, each time
on a larger scale, until a comfortable
mansion housed him during the declin-
ing years Of his life. This he named
Arbor Lodge. 1t stands a short dis
lance outside of Nebraska City in the
midst of an oasis of stately trees.
On the tomb Of the builder of West
Minister abbey Is the inscription, 'If
you would behold my monument, look
about you A similar inscription
might have been placed on the tomb of
the founder of Arbor day. Wherever
a tree grows. planted by the hand Of
man, it speaks something In memory of
this friend and protector of the forest.
Mrs. Morton was quite as enthusiast
tic on the subject Of tree planting as
her husband. She died some years be-
fore his own death, and fitting memo
rial was erected in her honor. Then
the sage of ArbOr Lodge" calling his
four sons about him. told them that
only those who proved worthy should
be buried beside her. One of these sons
Is Paul Morton, former secretary of the
navy and now president of the Equita-
BILE Life.
1t is related Of j. Sterling Morton
that when n neighbor cut down a splen-
did tree that he might rob a squirrels
nest the sage of Arbor Lodge" wrote
these lines and pinned them to the
stump:
What nature reared by centuries of toll
A scalawag in half day can spoil.
An equal fate for him may heaven pro-
vide
Damned in the moment of his taIlest
pride.

/ ed by five men, is handed to him by
the handful and the bricks brick at
! a time.
Thus the mason plays he is working
throughout the day-and at night,
when the employer has left for home,
the mason and his apprentices delib-
erately and openly proceed to take
away with them, for their own use, all
the material and implements that they
can load upon their backs. The ex-
preston, He'd steal a penny from a
dead mans eyes," was undoubtedly
coined by some Anglo-Saxon traveller
who had run afoul of some Persian
workmen.
The wealthy Persian carries his dis
taste for work so far that he, unlike
all other slave owners ever known to
history, actually stands appalled, at
the thought of making his black chat
tells do hard labor of any sort.
AS some one has aptly said, Persia
is the paradise of slaves. Black field
hands are seldom or never seen. The
slave is universally spoken of as a
"black brother" He is the confden-
tial and trusted servant Of his master,
the playmate of the children, the fell
low student of his young master.
There is no breaking up of slaves
family for pecuniary reasons. A Per-
sian who has fallen on evil days, fl
nancially, frees his slaves, never sells
them. But the slaves do not want
freedom. They recognize that the
worst punishment that can befall them
is to be turned adrift. How then
could they become rich? They would
no longer be trusted servants and so
situated that they could take brides,
rake-of1s and tips right and left from
merchants and others desiring the
patronage or favor of their masters.
The Importation of slaves from AT
RIGA was placed under the royal ban
some years ago.

AUTHOR OF ARBOR DAY.

At the back of the monument, ex-
tending in a large semicircle, is stone
seat, with beautiful carved figures at
either end. The memorial was erected
by friends of Arbor day throughout
the nation. At the time of the unveil-
ing many distinguished people were
present from all parts of the land, and
a letter was read from Grover Cleve-
land, in whose cabinet Mr. Morton
served for four years as secretary OF
agriculture.
The statue could not have been plae-

GREAT REVEALS
Have Been Held in All Ages TO Lead
Men out OF Darkness into Light.

Have Been Held in All Ages W AO1~N
Men out of Darkness into Light.
Let US resolve that we Will be
healthy, that we will drive from our
system all vestige of disease. Let US
take this subject into our hearts and
if we think upon it seriously we shall
discover that life without health is
pain instead of JOY, that i'll health
dwarfs our manhood and limits our
possibilities.
There is one thing universally de-
sired, and it is something most people
might possess if the voice OF expert
ence and the dictates of common sense
and reason were more generally
needed.
Everyone wants good health and
nearly everyone might have it by
using Dillingham's Plant Juice to
keep the appetite good, the digestion
and assimilation perfect, eliminating
active blood, pure and rich, circula-
ton free, equalized and strong, nerves
energized and all organs and func-
tions of the body toned to the require
ments of the strenuous life.
Weakness is not natural; sickness,
especially chronic disease, should
never be; people should never let
themselves run down in vital force
and gradually drift into the sorry
conditions of chronic invalidism.
Such course is a lasting regret,
the greatest mistake of their lives, a
sin against self and society.
We have no more moral right to
be sick when ways and means to attain
health are at hand. 1t is sin to
triAe with usefulness and happiness,
to deprive oneself of enjoyment and
harrass or burden others, to put off
from day to day matters of such vital
Importance as the attaining and pres
ervation of health and efficiency.
Be kind to the only body you have,
keep it in repair so as to enjoy it
while you may, ''for when you are
dead you are a long time dead. "
Dillingham; Plant Juice, the great
restorative, imparts new hope, new
ambition, new energy, new strength.
1t wards off approaching disease and
either drives out or overcomes ills
that are already seated. Can be OBJ

WANTED TREES AS A MONUMENT

Governor Hogg Asked That Pecan Be
at His Head and Walnut at Feet.
On the evening before his death last
week former Governor J. S. Hogg of
Texas talked at length as to the kind
of monument he wished when he should
die.
II want no monument of stone," he
said, "but let my children plant at the
head of my grave pecan tree and at
the foot of my grave walnut tree,
and when these trees shall bear let
the pecans and the walnuts be given
out among the plain people of Texas,
so that they may plant them and make
Texas a land of trees.

BUYING RIGHT OF APPEAL
THE SHOCKING CONDITION THAT
EXISTS IN SOME STATES.
Man Without the Cash Can't Have
His Case Reviewed by Higher
Court. Stranger Put Up
for Hoch.

Johann Hoch. who murdered his
wife, has been hanged and the world
has no further interest in him, but it
is highly interesting to know that if a
stranger had not paid the $500 requir-
ed to cover the cost of an appeal he
would have been hanged six months
ago. In the state of Illinois there is
no provision for an appeal to a high
er court in the case of the man with
out the cash 1t is simple matter of
dollars and cents.
How many other states permit so
shocking a condition can be ascer-
tanned only by further inquiry, but it
appears that in New Mexico, terri
tory under the eye of the national
government, the right of appeal is a
matter of money even in capital cases.
In the ease of John .COnley, convicted
of MURDER an appeal was granted re-
Gently to the New Mexico supreme
court, but it is stated that as ConleY
lacked the money to pay for trans
cript the evidence was not reviewed,
and the governor refused to grant a
reprieve for thirty days in which the
case would have been reopened. SO
Conley was hanged on February 26.
Commenting the Washington Post
very pointedly observes:
mot all, in fact not much, Of the
RESPONSIBILITIES for this 'abhorrent thing
rests on New Mexico. The United
States government is primarily re-
sponsible for it, because all territories
are subject, in their local affairs, to
the control of the central authority.
When a man is put to death on CIV
en- day who, but for lack of money to
pay for transcript of his trial would
be permitted to live on for an indefi-
mite period it is not possible to con-
vince the average mind that he is not
executed then and there for lack of
funds. If ever our criminal juris-
prudence is to be reformed-and it is
VIGOROUSLY execra ble-this phase of
it must be abolished. It's undeniable
shamefulness should challenge the at
tention and remedial efforts of nation
al and state lawmakers.
The Post adds that it is disgrace
to the country and "an irremediable
wrong to society,"" but offers no def
mite suggestion in the way of reform
further than the declaration that it
were better to abolish the right of
appeal than to allow the enjoyment of
the right to depend on the possession
of certain amount of money.
The right of appeal will and should
never be abolished. Reform of this
shocking practice can be accomplish
ed without that. If the state can pro-
vide counsel for an accused man who
is too poor to provide it for himself,
why cannot the state pay the cost of
an appeal when it is unquestionably
proved that the man convicted in a
lower court can not through his own
efforts secure the appeal that has been
granted him? This would add to the
states burdens, but that would be bet
ter than the monstrOus injustice of
the present arrangement.-Macon
