New York. Aug. 1O.-Rebecca Gold
stein, widow and keeper of a little
candy shop at 129 Essex street, Jersey
City, will never need a husband or a
patent burglar alarm so long as her
1S-year-old daughter Eta lives at
home.
The girl fixed things up SO ingen-
iously this morning that the visiting
burglar. whom she had expected
thought the bureau drawer, in which
he looked for treasure, contained a
yelling baby or a ghost that could
shrek, and he fled from the house in
terror.
Etta's suspicious were aroused on
Sunday afternoon when two men came
into the shop and ordered ice cream
sodas. When one of them offered a
S. bill in payment Mrs. Goldstein went
straight to the bureau in the back

President Board Commission
ers Thinks 1t Would Be a
Good Plan for County to
Plant Trees Along Roads.
AN EXPERIMENT WAS
MADE ON ONE ROAD
County Trees on New Paris
Pike Not Entirely Satisfac-
tory, Having Been Planted
Much Too Close.

The conservation of the county's
natural resources by the planting OF
trees along it's highways is being ad-
vocated by many local citizens. who
are much interested in this subject,
which was almost immortalized by ex-
President Roosevelt. Il Is being ar
'gued that II railroads and other great
corporations, as we'll as the nation and
the state, see the value of planting
trees, the county government should
follow so good an example.
In this county there are but q few
miles where trees are planted on eth
er side Of the various roads. The coun-
ty has tried the experiment In only
one instance This IL along the New
Paris pike east Of the city, where for
q few hundred yards trees are grow
ing and thriving. They are kept In bet
ter condition in all probability than
any other trees, with the exception OF
those planted in Richmond and the
county towns, and cared for by the
citizens. These trees are trimmed
whenever 1t is required, according to
C. e. Wiley, president OF the county
commissioners.
Views Of Wiley.
In speaking OF this means OF con-
serving the county's wealth Mr.. Wiley
stated that the trees along the New
Paris pike are planted rather close to-
gether and during the rainy periods of
4 the year the shade is SO dense that it
requires . long time for the roadway
Ito dry out. In this respect. Mr.. Wiley
believes that the trees are damage
Ito the road as they keep 1t too damp.
/, However there is no more pleasant
tdrive In the summer time than on this
broad.
Mr. Wiley believes that the county
could plant trees along the highways
and exercise little mare Judgment
In respect to planting them. He be-
lieves that the highways would not be
injured II the trees we're planted SO
that the sun could shine on the road
bed and dry up the mud puddles.
Just how many trees could be plant
ed along the highways OF the county
would be interesting information
When the trees would nave attained
their growth, it is said they would be
q source of revenue to the county.
Would Be = Benefit.
Those who favor such planting 81
y trees say that the county authorities
could plant them along the highway
lines and thus define the boundary o.
the road. In many cases when the
sfences along the highways are chang
ed by the farmers. instead of putting
them on the line again they encroacf
on the highway. For example, the ma
tional road is probably twenty o.
more feet narrower than 1t was orig
inally.
The erosion of the soil on either sid
OF the roadway would also be pre-
vented to q considerable extent by thu
planting of trees. After each rain tn

business of making carpets at Thomas
Vile, Conn.,, long enough to come to
New York to lunch with Acting Presi-

to get up into the air again before his
sister makes her trip. He arranged
with Mr.. Forbes to make an ascension

he will be obliged to make ten trips in
balloon. On his last two trips he
will be obliged to fly the balloon in

It is expected that Mr.. Roosevelt
will be a pilot within at least six
weeks and will take part in one of the
national balloon races to be held from

AN INTRUDER

Speckles, the yellow and black
goldfish, swan slowly around the
new resident of the fish globe
That's a funny little fish," he
thought; brown in color, and
sucn a big, round head and long
tail. He has a funny name, too
for heard mistress call him Poly
wogg. He's very shy, and won't
have a thing to do with Silver and
me-"
So the inquisitive goldfish swan
away, leaving poor Polywogg lone
some and longing to be back in
the big pond where all his folks
held concerts every night.
Several days later Speckles told
Silver very excitedly that Poly
wogg's tail was growing shorter
and his head larger, and Silver
looked to see. Sure enough, it was
true. After that two very curious
goldfish stared at Polywogg, till
to their immense surprise they
saw he wasn't Polywogg at all,
but a young frog who had shed
his tail and now had two hind legs
and two forelegs with four toes
each.
He ate more than his share OF
dainties dropped in the water, and
once even had the audacityli ITO
spring down through the water
and snatch a fishworm which SiI-
yer and Speckles were playingffug-
o'-war.
They had meant to eat the
worm themselves, and of coufse
such rudeness on the part of a
frog was not to be allowed.
Hence bitter enmity arose between
them. &c
Froggie's hind legs by this time
were getting strong enough to mop.
One day he crawled to the top
of the little stone castle in the
globe and jumped out on the. IA
BILE, where his mistress found him.
That settled froggie's future, rfor
he was taken in a tin can to the
banks of a creek, where he might
hop to his hearts content and join
in the nightly chorus of his
brother frogs.

WHY THE TIMES OPPOSES BALLINCER |.

Now that the tumultuous incident known as 'sthe
Banger controversy is again at its height, The
Times desires to make known as clearly as possible
its attitude toward Secretary of the Interior Balm
GER and the fault it has to find with his official
duct.
The nature of the Ballinger controversy has been
such that the facts have not always been kept in
plain view the subject is intricate one, requiring
careful reading and retentive intelligence above the
ordinary. Not few hasty readers have generalized
the entire controversy and eptomized it to the sim
gle conclusion that Mr. Ballinger has been accused
of some criminal act.
The Times has never accused him of criminal
wrongdoing Mr.. Balinger is intelligent
and keen lawyer. That he should submerge his
general and legal intelligence to the depth of Grim
NAL act would be an absurd proposition.
MIR. Ballinger is corporation man and corpora
ton lawyer education, environment and experience
have fitted him to approach controversies between
corporations and the people with pronounced bias
In favor OF the corporations. In addition, Mr. Bal
inger belongs to the old school of governmental
and political thought; he has been an economic
conservative, while the majority of the people have
been progressive. Thus he clings to those old ideas
OF the paramount rights Of capital, which most of
cast off decade back He has legal inclination to
take full advantage of the law for the benefit of
those law created beings known as corporations. To
him the impressive array of capitalists means more
than the irregular, undriled and often incoherent
mob called the people
This is the constitutional fault The Times finds
with Mr.. Banger, and the present controversy is
only manifestation of it in an acute form.
The Times objects to the candidacy of R. L. Nc
Cormck for the United States senate for the same
Identical reason Mccormick, imbued and saturat-
ed as he is with corporation doctrine is totally
fit The Times maintains to represent the people in
any capacity.
But to return to the Ballinger question. This pa
per has charged that Taft's cabinet member,
either private citizen or as public official,
has gone without the confines of the law to aid
corporation.
At the time The Times cannot hide from
itself from it's readers that Mr. Ballingefs inter-
pretatons of the law are and have been to corpora
lions rather than to popular advantage.
For these The Times has censured Mr..
Balnger, and will continue to do unless he
changes his policies. But at the same time The
Times want the limits of its censre and the grounds
OF it's complaint accurately appreciated.
Let none of the foregoing be construed
apology for anything The Times has printed
about MIR. Ballinger, OF in the slightest way
condoning of his ideas. The Times considers
MIR. Ballinger dangerous man to be custod-
ian of the peoples domain. He is bound by un-
breakable ties to men whose personal attitude
is not one of honesty, and must ever, as long
as he is public official be a menace to the
public welfare.
