Piping Off q Dream.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t is pleasant to contemplate e. H. Har-
riman planting trees along his western
trunk lines, making parallel rows of YER
dure from the Mississippi valley to the
Pacific slope. The scheme OF planting
trees along the right of way is not a new
one, but 1t has never before been put into
execution on so large a scale. Such trees
serve as a natural snowshed, provide a fu-
ture supply of material for ties and other
railroad work. and add to the attractive
ness of the railroad. They do not shut out
the view sufficiently to diminish the en-
joyment of the traveller, and their shade
materially adds to his comfort. 1t would
be we'll II many railroads follow the Har-
riman example.

Indiana Pure Food and Drug commissioner

that its injurious character had been es-

of an order to be issued by the Indiana
Board Of Health forbidding the use of this

Coming Retirement of Won Buelow

The announcement is made that
empire is to retire upon the adoption
of the proposed financial program now
before the Reichstag. He is the third
to hold that Office since the empire was
established in 1871 and has been in
Office eleven years.
The responsibilities Of imperial
chancellor are great and the difficulties
immense. He is the head Of a re-
sponsible ministry, which must depend
upon a patchwork majority in the leg
i~slative bodies. To craftsmanship he
must add political adroitness Of the
highest order to hold together the
groups necessary for a majority. Be-
tween his legislative duties, handling
the delicate complications of interna-
tional politics in which Germany is
immersed and the erratic, but brilliant,
emperor, the task is one TO tax the
chancellor's powers to the utmost. 1t
is not strange, therefore, after eleven
years service Won Buelow should de-
sire a rest. Should he finally retire
voluntarily and in good favor he will
be the first to do so, for both Bismarck
and Hohenlohe broke with the I'M
peror and made their exits from Office
in imperial disfavor.
Discussion Of a successor Is appar-
emily proftless at present, because Won
Buelow's proposed retirement is con-
tingent upon passing the financial bills
and this is apparently some time in
the future and may require an appeal
to the country, owing to conservative
detection from the parliamentary ma
jority. Won Buelow's stature as a
statesman is difficult to measure at
present, but certainly to maintain him
self in so difficult a position for eleven
years reflects consummate ability.

Mr.. Taft,s Warning.

In his address at Yale university
President Taft has Indirectly issued a
warning to his party colleagues of the
enate and house that they must pass
a tariff bill measuTably satisfactory to
the country or the republicans will be
taking a chance on finding themselves
in the minority in the next house.
Mr.. Taft is diplomatic and under
stands we'll the relation of the execu-
tive, but for all hat his words are not
to be mistaken. He says the party
must make good on its promises or
risk defeat when It again goes before
the people.
Whether the bill as II stands in the
senate falls short OF meeting his ideas
Of making good party promises can be
only judged by his previous utterances,
but there is ample reason to believe
that he expects material notifications
Of the bill in conference, where he
should be in better position to make
his influence felt.
Not alone in relation to the tariff
is President Taft's utterance timely.
1t is a repetition Of the pledges he
made as a candidate as to clinching
the policies of President Roosevelt.
He is quietly and unostentatiously
hewing to the line and serves notice
to all concerned that there is to be no
reversal Of policy. II congress will
do its part, as well as the president,
to meet public expectations the party
will have nothing to fear in the next
congressional election.
