Mart Hoover years ago, when Kan
sas was not the cultivated common
wealth 1t has since become, had sent a
consignment Of corn to commission
merchant In Kansas City. The mer-
chant telegraphed, telling the consign-
or: "Your credit is $27.40. Draw on

But Hoover was mad. He had eX
pected his money, and none came. He
felt he had been duped, and he treas
ured up the grievance. One time,
about six weeks later, the commission
man came TO Hoover's town, got out
of the bus and started to walk down
the street Hoover saw him and In
stantly drew his revolver and fired.
His eye was fairly good. The bullet
cut away the merchants necktie and
unfastened his collar.
Then Hoover put up his gun.

The Spring Election.

Many of the newspapers of the State
are strongly in favor of the ultimate
adoption of the proposed constitution
al amendment abolishing the February
election and providing that municipal
officers shall be chosen in November
at the same time the general election
occurs. In fact, the sentiment of the
editorial writers seems to be practical
ly unanimous in favor of the amend
ment
Should this amendment become a
part of the State constitution it will
have to pass through the regular pro-
cess prescribed by the constitution it.
self. That is Go say, having passed the
gauntlet of this legislature it will have
TO be favorably considered by the leg
islature of 1909 and then submitted to
the vote of the people. 1t will be per-
ceived that the earliest date at which
it could go into effect would be Nov
ember, 1910
The strongest argument against the
amendment is the fear that the cleo
sion of councilmen and other municip-
al officers in November would assist
the designs of the partisan. Usually
party spirit runs rather high during
gubernatorial and presidential camp
aigns, and the probabilities are that
s)me unfit men would slip into office
under stress of political excitmeut.
However, it is quite evident that the
independent voter is growing in num-
bers with each passing year, and it
has become possible to secure the de-
feat of an unworthy candidate even in
the heat Of a national campaign if the
truth be properly presented to him.
The chief argument in favor of the
proposed change is the great expense
Of holding primaries and elections un-
der the new laws we have recently
placed ON our statute books. Two reg
istrations. two uniform primaries and
two elections involve heavy expend-
iture annually. The idea is becoming
very prevalent that no harm would
come if the expense were cut down
one-half by the abolition OF the winter
primaries and the February election.
The cities and boroughs, as we'll as the
townships, would probably get as good
officers by the new plan as they do
now. perhaps better. And the in
dependent voter would still have his
opportunity.

Something rose in Dalton'S throat

even during the good natured, lazy run
Of his wooing. Janet wanted him! He
thought he had not cared. Now he
knew that he had cared all along. But

The Planting of Trees.

The Tree Planting association Of
New York city has just been making
through its secretary, some pointed re-
marks that fit Danville conditions
quite as we'll as they do those Of the
metropolis Recommending the plaut-
ing of more trees in the city streets
Wherever the conditions are favorable
as they are in many resi- .entlal por-
tions, where their shade and beauty is
notable only by its absence, he goes on
to draw attention to the fact that the
planting season is practically at hand,
boo~nse -deeiduous vegetation is al
ready awakening in answer to the call
of spring. Also, that while the plant
ing season bids fair to be an active
and orderly one, it will certainly be
none too long for the work to be done
A few years ago DR.. J. T. Rothrock,
for so many years Pennsylvania for
estry commissioner, as he was the in
ceptor of forestry preservation in this
State, and still an active member of
the commission, supplied on request a
list of varieties of trees especially ad-
a)ted for street planting in this clim-
ate. While it is not at hand at this
writing, it Is essentially identical with
the list just sent out by the New York
association. The list says: Of varieties
TO choose from we have the elms. the
naples, the oaks, poplars, tulip, locust.
horse chestnut, sweet gum, sycamore
or plane tree. Western catalpa, beech,
linden. Under some stress, even the
ailanthus and the willow" the list
closes. These last are probably named
with the thought in mind of "the
more open territory in outlying bor-
oughs. These, ,assuredly, here as there,
are entitled to more consideration
than they receive, both from our offici-
als and from property owners.
There are several suggestions, dwelt
upon with considerable detail in the
associations circular that may well
receive full consideration here, where
such consideration is certainly needed
Much greater is the attractiveness
OF the streets and neighborhood where
trees have been planted and cared for,
with it's resultant consequence of
favorable influence on the value of
property. Another is the undoubted
sanitary value of tree growth and their
shade in the heated term Of the year.
Then. often for long spells together,
we have in this city blazing sun like
that of the tropics beating down on
nagstoned sidewalks and dusty
highways in a manner destructive to
health and vital power.
Finally, do not GO out into the
woods to select your own trees for
planting, at random. The nursery
grown trees of whatever variety you
prefer, from two to three inches in
diameter with symmetrical top and,
most imperatively of all, with roots
full aud compact-for there, as all
horticultural authorities are unit in
recalling like the vigor of life and
the promise of healthful growth.
Would that there were long stretches
of the wastes of highways, such as
there are, for m lies around this city,
set out with shade trees by their own
srs or by the county authorities. A far
greater degree of public spirit in re-
gard to this important adjunct to the
public veal is desirable and would
bring its own great rewards. 80
