FAVORS SHIP SUBSIDY
PRESIDENT SENDS SPECIAL MES.
SAGE TO CONGRESS URGING
LEGISLATION.

Washington, Jan. 23.--The president
has sent a message to congress call
ing attention to the great desirability
of enactment of legislation to help
American shipping and American
trade by encouraging the building and
running of lines of large and swift.
steamers to South America and the
Orient. The urgent need of our coun-
try's making an effort to do something
like its share of its own carrying
trade on the ocean has been called to
his attention, the president says, in
striking fashion by the experiences Of
Secretary Root ON his recent South
American tour. State aid to steam
ship lines, the president says, IL as
much a part of the commercial system
of today as state employment Of con-
suls to promote business. The pres.
ident says that the proposed law,
which has been discussed in congress,
is in no sense experimental. It is
based on the best and most successful
precedents, as, for instance, on the
recent Cunard contract with the Brit
ish government. The president dis
cusses the bill now before congress
and says:
1T would surely be discreditable for
us to surrender to our commercial
rivals the great commerce of the ORR
ent, the great commerce we should
have with South America and even
our own communication with Hawaii
and the Philippines"

Germany.
Berlin, Jan. 26-The government
has won a definite victory in the gen.
eral election for new reichstag. The
Liberal, Radical and Conservative
parties, supporting Prince Won Bue-
lows colonial policy, have won at
least twenty seats, but more impor-
tant to the government than the sue
cess Of its colonial plans is the smash
ting defeat administered to the Social
lists, who will lose seventeen or eight
cen seats.
This is the first election since 1887
that the Socialists have not increased
their representation In the reichstag
by from five to twenty seats. They
have lost especially in several large
cities, among these places being Bres-
lau. Halle, Magdeburg, Leipzig and
Koenigsberg.

UNWILLING TO SERVE.
Difficult to Secure Jurors in the Thaw
Case.

Case.
New York, Jan. 26.-FIfty-one tales
men were examined in the effort to
complete the jury which is to try
Harry K. Thaw for the killing of
Stanford White and at the end of the
days session two names had been
added to the jury roll. making seven
in all. One hundred and one tales
men have thus far been examined.
That there is increasing difficulty in
finding men who are willing or COM
petent to serve was evidenced by the
fact that on the first day of the trial
three jurors were sworn from among
nineteen talesmen, one of them being
excused subsequently by the court.
On the second day three jurors were
secured from among thirty-two tales
men, while the third day it required
the winnowing Of more than one

DAY OF RECKONING.

The biennial day of reckoning is at hand
for the state institutions and departments. The
appropriation bill must be agreed upon and
passed within the next week and the task of
pruning demands to fit the states re sources is
more difficult than ever. Bills being consider
ed call for $7,2S0,OOO more than special revenues
are likely TO oring in during the next two years.
Some close pruning will be necessary to reduce
that amount to 100000, which will require a
direct levy for state revenue of 2.5 mills, com
pared with IL mills for the current year.
It is "A day of reckoning for the legislature,
too. It's members have apparently failed 50 far
to realize that the great growth Of the state
and it's institutions must mean increased ex-
penditures.
There is no denying the need and the justi-
fication of the money demands now before the
finance committees barring two or three items.
The requests of state institutions are reason
able and right. The state must have
revenue to meet these demands and unless the
money is raised by special taxes, it must come
by direct levy the real estate and personal
property. \ larger levy will not mean extrava-
gance so much as failure on the part of the leg
islature to provide revenue in other ways
The tonnage tax iron alone would
have brought in 81 100000 a year extra to the
state treasury, or 100000 in the biennial
period, the equivalent of a levy of 15 mills.
The house refused TO vote a tonnage tax. 1t
has voted to increase railroad taxes measure
of very doubtful justice in view of the reduc
tons in rail road rates and one which the senate
will probably kill
Other revenue measures of smaller import
ance have been passed, but the Legislature has
signally failed to rise to the opportunity offered
by the wide-open tax amendment and reach
forms of property that now escape their just
share of the burden. The consequences appear
when it comes to striking the balance sheet
The legislatures failure means that the
plain, everyday taxpayer will have to bend his
back to an extra load. He will do it because he
must, but he will not forget to place the re-
sponsibility.- Minneapolis Journal.

CHILDREN AND ARBOR DAY.

President Roosevelt has addressed a
sage to the school children of the United States
in which he calls attention to the Importance
of Arbor day and the important part they can
play in the development of forestration. The
message reads: n'.'
Arbor day-which means simpIy-"tree
days observed in every state in our
our union-and mainly in the schools. At var1-
Gus times from January to December, but chief
ly in this month of April. you give day or
part of day to special exercises and perhaps
to actual tree planting, in recognition OF the
Importance of trees to as nation and OF
what they yield in adornment, comfort and
useful products to the communities in which
you live.
1t is we'll that you should celebrate your
arbor day thoughtfully, for within your life
time the nations need of trees will become
serious We of an older generation can get
along with what we have, though with grow
ing hardship but in your full manhood and
womanhood you will want what nature once so
so beautifully supplied and thought
lessly destroyed and because of that want you
will reproach us, not for what we have used
but for what have wasted. For the nation
as for the man or woman and the boy or girl,
the road to success is the right of what we
have and the improvement of present oppor-
tunity.
When you help to preserve forests or to
plant new ones, you acting the part OF good
citizens The value of forestry deserves, there
FORE to be taught in the schools, which aim to
make good citizens of you. If your arbor day
exercises help you to realize what benefits each
one of you receives from the forests and how
by your assistance these benefits may continue,
they will serve good end.

Cultivatins tho Garden.

The majority of farmers give but lit
tie attention to gardening. They regard
the spade. hoe and rake as implements
which involve too much time and To-
Dor. If a farmer desires to grow a
corp Of any kind he prefers to do the
work with pillow and cultivator, and In
wholesale manner. This repugnance
to using the small tools, in order to
grow supply of vegetables, has been
the cause Of depriving hundreds of
farmers of luxuries that would have
cost but little If they had considered
the value Of the crops from a garden,
and also the real cost compared with a
crop OF grain or potatoes But there
are, however, some farmers and their
wives who know how a garden helps
to make farm enjoyable, and they
are the ones who will now enjey the
work Of planting the seeds Of the many
different kinds Of vegetables, for there
Is no portion Of farm life so agreeable
as that of preparing the ground In the
spring for the garden. There has been
an advance in the system Of gardening.
While the hoe, rake and spade still
hold place in the list of garden tools,
yet they have been superseded mainly
by the single and double wheeled hoes
and seed drills, which save time and
labor and which can be used for doing
good work.

Fruit Tree Planting,

For fruit tree planting, when the
sub-soil Is clay and apt to be water
logged, not only should it be well drain
ed first, but the bottoms of the holes
in which the trees are planted should
have placed in them some coarse rubble,
to act as drainage also. Apart from
such material helping to keep the roots
out of the clay below, 1t serves also to
keep them fairly dry and aerated, and
that Is very important for the future
health Of the trees In making holes
on such ground, throw out to fully
three feet wide and twelve inches deep.
Into each hole then put four inches of
old brick and mortar material, or
clinker, or other hard, coarse material,
well trodden and leveled. Upon that
put, If obtainable, pieces Of turf, upside
down, then three inches of soil, and
plant the trees. In that way not only
will the roots be kept near the surface
and be healthy, but because the trees
are on slight mounds, they can be fed
each summer with a mulch Of manure.
Too much trouble can not be taken In
planting trees on stiff soil, to keep the
roots near the surface.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1907-06-22

In the home garden care should be
taken to see that the soil Is pressed
down firmly after the seeds are in. The
result will be to bring the moisture to
the surface and hasten the germina-
ton Of the seeds. As soon as the seed
lings appear, however, the garden
should be gone over with rake to loos-
en- up the surface and form a mulch,
the purpose being to prevent the mois-
ture from escaping. A smooth, hard
surface will be followed by a loss Of
much moisture which will be brought
to the surface by the capillary action.
When the surface is constantly stirred
and kept loose and free, this capillary
action Ia retarded and the moisture 10
retained to support the plants. This
point Is very important one, and anna
teur gardeners will find 1t to their ad-
vantage to bear these facts in mind.

Two Women.

A woman whose altogether unintelli-
gible and fncoherent remarks branded
her Enthusiastically as proud parent,
was wheeling an exceedingly small
child Of perhaps years next Thurs
day down Prospect avenue yesterday
afternoon in one Of those upright baby
carriages, says a Cleveland newspaper.
The remarks mentioned were addressed
TO this child In a series Of suppressed
shrieks and gurgles.
As the woman continued to push the
small conveyance down the street,
stopping ever and anon to ask the
child something, they approached an
other woman who was leading French
poodle by q small chain. The dog wore
o cute little ga blanket and was
clipped to look as IL the barber had
started on 1t and then thought Of a
previous engagement.
At the sight of the dog the woman
with the baby fairly bubbled over with
ecstacy. It had Immediately struck
her that the sight Of the dog would at
once appeal strongly to the baby's es-
thetic sense and that the baby would
derive great deal Of pleasure from
viewing the dog as It passed by. For
fear. however, that the baby would not
realize what was up the fond mother
sought to convey the information by
means Of multiplicity Of half inartic-
ulate gurgles and gesticulations that a
certain dog was about to pass "See
the pretty doggie," was the only thing
she said in English, but her remarks
were along that line. In the meantime
the woman with the dog had come up
to them and the mother heard someone
saying. "See the coot little baby. Just
ook at the little baby" The mother
turned from the baby to look at the
dog. and then her expression changed
to one of polite scorn.
The other woman had the dog in her
arms and was showing the baby to It.
