Franklin's paper the statesman., 1906-12-28

A bill prepared by the New Eng
land Suffrage League has been intro
duced into Congress asking that it
restore to the colored troops who
were summarily discharged from the
army by the president, the right of
re-enlistment in the army under the
same conditions as prevailed pre-
vious to the order of discharge and
asking that they be not debarred
from civil employment under the gov
ernment, nor deprived OF any Of the
privileges which they had earned up
to that time. 1t is mild bill and de-
serves the consideration of Congress.
Its passage will not burden the pres
ident with any onus Of blame, but
will right the wrong without inquiry
into the dement's of his contentious.
1t is unfortunate that President
Roosevelt, who usually has such
sound common sense, has incorporat-
ed so much extraneous matter in his
reply to Congress concerning this
matter. We appreciate all he has
done for us, but can hardly acquiesce
in his opinions that we are peculiarly
people given to rape, that we owe 1t
to ourselves to associate with the
criminal elements of our race In or
der to turn informers, not In the
main proposition that any man is
guilty of alleged crime who does not
prove himself innocent.
1t is Of no consequence In the con-
sideration Of this discharge Of the
soldiers that the president is friend
of industrial education. He Is an Of
ficer of the law sworn to do duty and
deal justly All we ask Is a fair
deal. We do not appreciate any play
to the galleries that may be made by
him or anybody else to make us feel
that we are objects of special solici-
tude. Give us a mans chance, and
then II we fail, we deserve to fail.
Special legislation is harmful for us:
special prescription Is unjust.

Blossoming, alone.
When Earths grief is sorest

Ere the last snow-drift melts, your

Wrapped in leaves We lie

There the wild wood-robin,
Hymns your solitude;
And the rain comes sobbing
Through the budding wood,
While the low south wind signs, but

Out of air and dew,
Starlight unimpassioned,
Dawn's most tender hue.
And scented by the woods that gath

How to Plant Trees.

Trees should be selected from
nursery plantations or from those
that have sprung up in open places,
such as seeding trees along fences, so
that there may be an abundance of the
small fibrous roots. The roots should
not be exposed to the sun or to a cold
or drying wind, but kept damp by COW
ering with moss, wet straw or canvas.
In taking up a tree avoid cutting off
the large roots too near the trunk.
They should be carefully followed out
to convenient distance, and in setting
them again they should have space
enough provided without bending them.
Besides the gain in nutrition thus Sc
cured by the tree, we have by this
means an additional security in the
bracing and support secured by a
broad base and steady anchorage
The ends of broken roots should be
cut off smooth before the tree is
planted. When digging the holes, the
surface soil, being generally the best,
should be thrown up on one side, and
the poorer soil from below on the
other. In filing in the better soil
should be returned first, so as to be
nearer the roots. If the soil be some
what sterile, some rich loan, compost.
or woods earth. placed below and
around the roots. would be the cheap
est means of insuring success. In set
ting the tree it should be placed a
trifie deeper than it stood before. the
roots should be spread out so that
none are doubled, and fine, rich soil
should be carefully sifted in among
them so as TO fill every space. Unless
the soil is evidently damp enough. the
trees should be well watered as soon
as they are planted, and this process
in dry seasons should be repeated from
time to time through the first and
second years. This is a service that
can be assigned to the scholars with
great propriety, but should not be
overdone. The soil should be pressed
down and around the roots to give
them firm hold. The surface should
not be rounded up around the trees. at
least no more than to allow for set
ting. In shoveling paths in the snow.
it is well to heap 1t up around the trees
in winter, to prevent them from start
ing prematurely in the spring.
When planted the trees should be
protected from injury Care should be
taken TO keep each free from agencies
that will tend to displace the roots.
This can be done by driving one or
more stakes close to the tree. to which
1t should be firmly dashed. If the
grounds are not enclosed, stakes may
be driven about each tree to which
Stats may be nailed. This Will afford
protection against intruding animals.

THE FAIRIES.

Up the airy mountain.
Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting
For fear of little men;
Wee folk, good folk,
Trooping all together;
Green jacket, red cap,
And white owls feather.
Down along the rocky shore
Some make their home;
They live on crispy pancakes
OF yellow tide-foam;
Some in the reeds
OF the black mountain lake,
With frogs for their watch-dogs,
All night awake.
High on the hilltop
The old king sits;
He is now so old and gray
He's nigh lost his wits.
By the craggy hillside,
through the nlOSSeS Dare,
They have planted thorn trees
For pleasure here and there.
Is any man SO daring
AS dig one up in spite?
He shall find their sharpest thorns
In his bed at night.
Up the airy mountain,
Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting
For fear of little men;

Trooping all together; !

deceptive. Now it comes out
and boldly announces that it has
found what it has sought for
the real question at stake in this

is danger of the board of control
becoming a political institution

bases this on the fact that Rosing
is a politician and has shown a
deep interest in Johnson's re-

matter is that Rosing will hold
the place for the next four years,

The Tribune shouts that it has
never been influenced in politics, but
been always honest and that money
never sways it, yet two years ago
The Tribune did not support Gov.
Johnson, but nominally supported
Bob Dun. Two years ago Gov. John
son had no organization and no cam
paign fund. Dun had all kinds of
organization and funds. This year
the Tribune is supporting Gov. John
son, and Gov. Johnson has good
sized campaign fund and the strongest
kind of an organization. To quote
from this weeks Tribune: factions
speak louder than words oftentimes."
"A Willmar Exchange.
The TRIBUNE supported
neither Dunn nor Johnson in the
last campaign. We did not sup
port Johnson then because we
did not know to what extent the
old Democratic state ring would
control his administration. We
are supporting him now because
we are pleased with his nonpar-
tisan appointments and the rec
ord he has made as governor.
We have never had the chance to
refuse as much as a dollar of the
republican campaign funds, and
as for the democratic state COM
mittee, we did not even make our
support conditional upon the
payment of a bill for legitimate
printing now six years old. Our
statement of the policy of this
paper in respect to editorial sup
port of candidates and their
patronage of the paper, did not
make any reference to the policy
of any other paper, and the fact
that it provoked the above item
is pretty good proof that such
exchange has a different policy.
If it is true as reported that the
Democratic committee assisted
in the establishment of the third
newspaper at Willmar two years
ago, it made a poor bargain. It
probably did not know what kind
of a man it was assisting. The
TRIBUNE did not state it's posi-
ton from any holier-than-th thou
feeling and believes that the
policy of an editorial column in
dependent of the financial end of
the paper is only one of common
decency, and we are sorry that
it did not please the latest
attempt in the newspaper line at
