Spare the Palmettoes.

The announcement made in the
News and Courier yesterday that the
commissioners who have control of the
planting of trees in the city will order
the removal of the palmettoes that
have been set out by various citizens
along some of the streets was. no
doubt. received with deep regret by all
who have at heart the beautifying Of
Charleston. The commissioners assert
that the palmettoes will soon begin to
branch so extensively as to interfere
with the comfort of pedestrians on the
sidewalks and to hinder traffic on the
driveways. If the palmetto is an OBJ
stacle to traffic and a nuisance to Pc
destrians. why is it that many other
southern cities have planted so many
trees of this beautiful species? Many
of the colored picture postcards which
are so popular nowadays represent
long avenues of palmettoes into which
the streets of certain cities-Los An
geles. for example-have been trans
formed. Nothing could be more pleas
ing to the eye. more impressive or
more typically southern than street
lined on either side with these grace
full trees.

of his own state, of the doctrine of free
raw materials. When he was in COM
mission that doctrine bore the democratic
hallmark Campaigns were made in its
name. Mr.. Carlisle was elected Speaker
of the House in December, 1888, on a
platform carrying that doctrine, and in
the next November Mr.. Cleveland was
elected President as the champion OF the
same idea In 1892 Mr.. Cleveland won
his second victory as the advocate OF
tariff for revenue only. with free raw ma
terials as one expression of the policy,
Now Mr. Mills is told that not only is
that ancient history. but that the demo-
cratic party was not on good democratic
ground in making it. Mr.. Bailey jus
titles his vote against free raw materials
by declaring that in casting it he is in
line with his party's creed prior to the
days of the leadership just mentioned.
In addition to Mr. Mills, there are two
other men who figured with him in the
making of the old democratic record.
Like him, both are in retirement, without
thought of re-entering public life. They
exercised marked influence in their day,
Shall we hear from them while the sub
ject is warm? Or having made their
record are they satisfied with it? and do
they now from their easy chairs follow
the new order of things with the compla-
cency of philosophers?
Col. Morrison is but seldom mentioned
in the dispatches these days, while Mr..
Carlisle, though active in his profession.
has taken no part in politics since he left
the Treasury Department twelve years
ago. Still, a word from either at this
time on a subject with which their names
were for long prominently associated
would be read with great interest.

Summer Outings for the Poor.

One of the most effective and worthy
charities maintained in the District is
that which provides brief outings in sum-
mer for the women and children of the
poor classes. This work has been con-
Quoted for eight years and has developed
in usefulness beyond the appreciation of
the average citizen, who may not fully
understand the intimate connection be-
tween the poverty problem and the health
question 1t is not the purpose Of this en-
terprise merely to give pleasure to the
women and children chosen for participa-
tion, but to build them up In health and
strengthen them for the remainder of the
year.
In all the work of the organized chari-
ties the prime object is to prevent the
breakup of the home, to keep the man
and wife and children together on self
supporting basis. More often than is re-
allied by those who merely contribute to
the funds maintaining these charities the
ill-health OF the wife is the determining
cause Of the wretched condition in the
homes.
All the women and children who par
ticipate in this summer outings move
ment are carefully selected by those who
are acquainted with the conditions. The
object is to send to the country the mos,
worthy and needy of the cases. but there
is always a surplus OF requirements be-
yond the means available. Every dollar
given brings its equivalent and nothing is
wasted. The work. is in the best Of hands
and the citizens of Washington who are
now appealed to for help in this worthy
cause may rest assured that what they
give will do a maximum of good in the
prevention of suffering.

The Nimble Anti-Imperialists.

The anti-imperialists have again shifted
their ground They nimble gentle
men.
First came the charge that we had
bought the Filipinos at SO much a head.
In order 10 emphasize the nature of the
offense. the figure put at two dol
lars A human being rated below the
value of fat hog, What shameful
record for a government founded upon
the principle of liberty. equality and fra
ternity, The shades Of the fathers, It
was asserted, were looking down upon
the transaction with sense Of horror.
Then we were lectured on our course
toward our chattels. Why, after buying
the islanders, pauperize them? Why not
give them chance TO make little
money? AS they were not to be allowed
to govern themselves, why not make the
government provided for them just and
even generous in the matter of trade?
AS we had deprived them of the market
privileges they had enjoyed under Spanish
rule. was it not our duty to provide them
with other privileges. as good or better?
Why not open our own markets to them,
putting them in that particular on an
equality with the Porto Ricans?
There was good argument in this, and
II took hold of the public. Judge Taft
then governor general of the islands, was
impressed with it, and threw his inf1u-
ence into the scale in favor of free trade
between the Philippines and the United
States. But as the proposition was con-
nected with our tariff problem, and that
problem was then under discussion for a
change, nothing was done. Congress de-
clined to enact the legislation requested.
and matters drifted.
But with Judge Taft in the White
House, and the tariff under revision in
Congress. the Fflipinos are on the eve
1t last of receiving some market privi-
1eges. Something of what should have
been granted. them several years ago
is now to be given.
But are the anti-imperialists pleased?
Are they helping with the program? On
the contrary, they are hindering. They
are trying to defeat it. They now ad-
vance the argument that IL the tariff
problem of the F'ilipinos becomes con-
nected with our problem, the bond be-
tween the two countries will grow strong
er. and we shall never be able to with
draw from the islands.
The latest form of anti-imperialism.
therefore, is this: Let this government
fix an early day for doing SO. or con-
tinue a policy which the anti-imperialists
have described as commercial tyranny
leading to starvation. Fortunately for
the Filipinos, neither policy will prevail.
We shall remain. and widen the market
for the leading Philippine products.

Mr.. Mills Deliverance,
Roger Q. Mills. from his retirement
Texas, is quoted as follows:

Roger Q. Mills. from his retirement in
Texas, is quoted as follows:
The present exhibition in the Senate
by senators calling themselves democrats
and assuming to read out of the party
those who do not bear the mark of their
approval is shameful. In fact, it Is a
difficult matter in these degenerate days
for real democrats who belonged to the
party for the sake OF the principles which
IT represented to have any idea as to
what q democrat is.
THE party now represented at
Washington might as we'll pass out OF
existence. for 1t has survived its useful
ness and only serves now to make a
humiliating spectacle to make honest
democrats hang their heads in shame"
Mr.. Mills served in the House for a
quarter Of a century. and for the greater
part of the time as one of his party g
most prominent men there. He was one
of Col. w. r. Morrison's lieutenants In
the tariff contests In the Forty-eighth and
Forty-nnth Congresses. He was the
leader Of the House. In the Fiftieth Con-
gress and presided over the ways and
means committee which reported the
tariff bill bearing his name. And he wa s
second TO Mr.. Carlisle in the minority
membership of the ways and means COM
mittee of the Fifty-first Congress when
the Mckinley bill was passed. Surely a
veteran with such record is entitled 10
a hearing when the tariff is under dis
cussion.

the repudiationyby his party friends in

No More Night Sessions.

The Star expressed the opinion when
they were ordered that the night sessions
of the Senate would not hurry action on
til. tariff bill, and now the fact is con-
fessed and the sessions have been discon-
tinued. Crowded galleries and the smart
costumes of the women proved too much
for the Solons on the floor. They talked
tariff, but their hearts were not in the
subject. They put pleasure before busi-
ness They became entertainers, and
looked elsewhere than among themselves
for attention and approval. Their con-
duct may not have been statesmanlike,
but it was very human. Let him who has
never been under the spell wag the first
tongue against them. Meanwhile, con-
gratulations to the regular summer at
fractions. With the big house on Capitol
Hill dark, their business should increase.

Loafers in the Parks.
le Portland (Ohio) Telegram.


The determination to drive loafers
from the city parks will meet with
general approbation 1t is one of the
steps in park administration that
should have been taken long ago.
The term loafer in this case means
the man who makes the park a Sleep
ing or lounging place. To any man
who desires to seat himself in these
public areas in an attitude of decency
for the purpose of reading or resting
or enjoying the open air and the bright
sunshine this term does not apply. The
genuine loafer Is a creature familiar
to almost any person endowed with
common sense. He is the fellow vino

his presence is usually unsightly, as a
man who is not accustomed to doing

ways, where he does not become an
annoyance to those for whose decent
enjoyment the parks were created.

GRAY and the Presidency.
Again the Gray boom A Pennsylvan
state senator Is quoted as follows:

Again the Gray boom. 4 Pennsylvania

When in doubt play trumps. When IN
despair propose Judge Gray.
II is mot to be denied that the Della
ware jurist is a fine man, and worthy of
the confidence, both as man and jurist. he
enjoys. He made good in the Senate, and
has made good on the bench. But in the
matter of national political leadership
he is handicapped.
In 1912 Judge Gray will be In his sew
enty-third .year-an age beyond prudent
presidential calculations. There are sew
eral objects in view in nominating
comparatively young man for President
% The office is exacting. 1t takes physi-
cal as we'll as mental vigor to carry
man through in the White House now
(o) A veteran In years is too ''set in his
ways for the politicians. They prefer
a man young enough to learn new tricks.
C3o A second term Is always to be con-
sidered. A party must appeal to the coun-
try on it's record, and that, as RUE,
requires the nomination of the man under
whose leadership the record has been
made.
Young men have been the wear for
forty years Grant, Garfield, Cleveland
and Roosevelt were under fifty when they
took up the burdens of the presidency.
Hayes Arthur. Harrison and Mckinley
were under sixty. Vigorous as all were.
they had no vigor to spare. And the
man now on deck is young and hearty.
Instead Of for President why do not
Judge Gray's friends propose him for
Secretary Of State? His years would not
be too many for that post, and his talents
would fit it admirably. In that way the
prestige of his name could be utilized in
national campaign By nominating a
ticket measuring up to the Gray standard.
and then giving 1t out that the Delaware
man is the one for the State Department,
the democrats would play good card.
But, at last, everything depends. 1t Is
not possible today to forecast the value
of the democratic nomination in 1912 1t
may not be worth a bawbee. and. if it is
not. Judge Gray could not be induced to
accept it. If the Taft administration is a
success the head Of it will be reelected
with ease. If, on the other hand, panic,
or drouth, or party divisions over the
tariff and the currency question, should
put the republicans in hole, and the
skies brighten for the democrats In the
next three years. then that partys noml-
nation will be the object of such strenuous
contest that a man of dignity serving on
the bench, without machine to help him,
will be a negligible quantity. He will not
count at all in the struggle for the honor.

Terrors.

With placid minds we may endure
The perils to our ship of state.
In wilds where life is insecure
To go we do not hesitate.
But there are terrors which compel
Both hate and fear as they draw nigh
It's simply fierce to have to dwell
Near to the ordinary fly.
Where bullets fly we may defy
The fates upon the battlefield;
In airships we may sail the sky
Where lightning flashes are revealed
We brave the darkness Of the mine
And scale the glacial mountains height
But hope and courage we resign
When mosquito starts to bite.

Base ball played at night by electric

cover the ball, the bat and the players
clothing with some phosphorescent sub
