Do not forget that this is tree planting
season. Trees do better planted this Eonth
than any month of the year. Nut trees and
fruit trees make good shade trees; don't forget
that fact but beautiful sycamores and oaks can
be had at nominal price. If you plant shade
trees this month, you will congratulate yourself

A recent com plant about the water pres
sure or the lack of the pressure, calls to mind
the old question of gauge on the stand pipe. An
indicator that can be read from the streets
from Central Avenue-to be painted on the south
side of the stand pipe, that will announce to
every passer by-city officer, tax payer or
stranger, the number of feet of water. No sane
man will deny that, with such water gauge
the employees at the plant, without reference
to any particular employee, would be more vigil
liant in keeping the stand pipe filled. We trust
that the city council will provide such a water
gauge. 1t would not be expensive and would be
of great benefit, actual service, in the manner
named above

INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION.

Never before in the history of the cotton
trade has such multitudinous amount OF Bear"
dope and intentional Misrepresentation of actual
facts been given 10 the south through paid ad-
v4rtisernents in the columns of the press and Ivy
the distribution of circular letters through the
the mails Operators who are moving heaven
aud earth to depress future contracts and the
prices of spot cotton are cudgeling their brains
in the modern art of juggling figures and max
ing new high records in dstorting statistics in
the supreme effort to make small yield of
American cotton take on the appearance OF
plentiful supply Hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been expended in the past two
months in cabegrams, kilograms, paid articles
in news papers, postage and market letters IN
herculean undertaking to deceive the public,
discourage the farmers and local spot holders
into rushing the remnant of this crop on the
market, unsettled public opinion in the south
temporarily so as to break the market and IN
duce LIQUID alton. The spnners have threaten
ed to withdraw from the marker, which is an
absurdity in the face Of their enormous com NIT
ments of the entire output of their mills tor the
next six to eight months Prominent Bear"
leaders take peculiar interest in daily publish
log com parative estimates OF this crop with
wears that have gone before. Thes, tangled,
muchly iuggled statistics emauate from the
offices of gentlemen who breathe the atm ost-
pbere of a climate one thousand miles from
Southern cotton fields and whose eyes have wit
messed the actual condition of single cotton
field in the south this year. The statistics and
daily reports which they put out in the stupend-
Gus fort for private gain are simply the night
mares of over charged brains ref .cting ludlvld-
ual views in the forlorn hope of changing at
least TEN porary the laws of supply and de-
mand. The interest of the spot holder is not
considered. The great desideratum is paper
contracts and hot air. Thousands OF people
read this "Bearish Dope" scattered over the
South daily aud know it to be false, yet they
tremble IN doubt and surrender their honest
convictions and Southern manhood before the
edicts which emanate from the fine Italian
hands of their enemies. This crop eau no more
be compared with past Yields in the matter of
picking, ginning and selling than could the enor-
nous production of 1904 Let every nan in the
South stand pat on the actual conditions which
confront him. Spurn these jugged statistics
as YOU would an adder invading the holy pre-
ciucts of YOUR home aud remain fixed and uu-
alterable in your deter minatlon to secure higher
prices for the balance of this crop, which will
unquestionablv prove to be one of the smallest
grown in a number of years.

Osculatory Incident Di-
videS Party in Kansas
Into Hostile Camps.

TOPEKA. Kan. April 30.-"HoCh der
kisser" promises TO be the war cry
at the Republican State convention
which meets here Wednesday. The
charge against Governor Hoch that he
tried to kiss the wife of former Gov
ernor Stanley, when she, one Of the
board of control Of the State institu-
tions, went to his Office on State busi-
ness, has split the delegates into two
camps.
Those who were inclined to oppose the
governors hope FOR a denomination have
made the osculatory episode the rally
ing point for their efforts, and he prob
ably viii be forced 10 hear the salute
''Hoch der kisser," from the floor Of

it is limited, it may cause the gov
ernor's defeat.
More than 200 Of the 1000 delegates
TO the convention are in the city. The
truly good delegates say Governor Hoch
must not be renominated. The unre-
generated. like the ''hyenas" Of which
Governor HOch speaks laugh and
prophesy that the publication OF the
scandal WI add 5000 votes to the gov
enOr' s majority.

tiOnal committeeman. said.
I'VE would be the laughing stock Of
the nation if we did such a silly thing
as to refuse to renominate Governor
HOCh."
In a telegram from Wichita. both Mrs
Stanley and her husband declare the
public accounts Of the episode to be
garbled and Incorrect. 1t is pointed out
that Mrs. Stanley retained her Office for
some time after that and on January
% she attended a reception at the eX-
ecutive mansion, assisting Mrs. Hoch in
receiving the guests.
Governor HOch viii say no more than
that the story is manifestly unjust, not
only 10 himself, but 70 Mrs. Stanley
He regards IL as an outrage that his
political enemies should thus brand the

Says Latter Are Needed
to Save Money and
Reputation.
MUST BE EXPERIENCED
Wants Forty-five Additional
Captains and LieutenantS
to Cope With Crisis.

The following advices were received by
the War Department today from Cen
eral Greely, at San Francisco:
In order TO reduce expenses. request
that troops sent here be reduced to one
regiment cavalry and one OF infantry:
aggregating one thousand men. Services
Ct fifteen hundred other troops can be
dispensed with, provided shat forty-five
selected officers and men Of administra-
tive ability, sound judgment, and phys
icaI energy, are sent here as frame
work Of organization They should con-
sist of FIVE field officers and forty cap
tains and first lieutenants. Men with
out force, experience, or tact would be
worse than useless.
From the first. my fears have been
for the future condition. realizing fully
the necessity Of restrictions. supervision.
and elimination. The checking OF sys-
tematic deceptOns and extravagant
methods can and will be possible only
through military administration strictly
subordinate At all times 10 civil authori-
ty and the Red Cross representatives
upon whom demands have been made
by ne 70 assume charge at the earliest
possible moment, demands which they
have promised in writing 10 accede 10
at the earliest possible date These
reasons have controlled my action 10
which the Red Cross. civil authorities.
and citizens committee insist on as in
dispensable TO public w-elfaree. In my
opinion earliest possible arrival of forty
five officers viii save both money and
reputation at this crisis.
Excellent health continues unchang-
ed with absence Of any prospective epi-
demic OF contagious disease. Water con
diuons improving; commercial supplies
are arriving rapidly; cooperation OF
navy, national guard and civil authori-
ties continues most harmonious"

The work Of the committee on can
vass reflects great credit on the Ma
ticnal Capital I think that a better
piece of work has never been done in
this city than that which has been
accomplished for the California relief
fund during the last ten days"
The meeting Of the citizens relief
committee at the New Willard this
morning was opened by Commissioner
Macfarland with the foregoing words,
expressing his appreciation of the re-
sponse that had been made TO the ap-
peal for aid by the refugees in the
stricken city.
The contributions and subscriptions
TO the committee continued Mr.. Mac
farland, have been magnificent Great
credit is due the 1.2c0 agents that can
vassed the city. and the response has
been a new illustration of the civ1c
pride of the community. The National
Capital has done as much. proportion

Parker said that $4,000 had already
been turned over 10 the Red Cros- So
ciety, and that the balance was still in
his possession.
