What is the logical correlative of the

as much reason for the one as for the
other, and that, too, right here in Yer

such law in this state, the candidates

STREET TREES VALUE.
They Increase Price of Real Estate and
Make Town Attractive.

Make Town Attractive.
Not all ones time and means should
be given to ones own premises. OPP
portunities are many for caring for
public property where the same repre-
sents value to you that should be
plain TO see. In the district where the
writer lives several Of us gave 50 each
to save some oaks out in the street.
One man. in front of whose place grew
n very fine tree. gave so and would II
necessary have given more in order to
preserve it. We all benefit by the
presence of these trees. and the value
of real estate and the reputation of the
neighborhood are benefited by the pres
ervation of all such trees.
A case is known where a land com
pany in putting a new tract upon the
market ran the sidewalk around
large tree. Inasmuch as they were
ignorant of what q tree needs most
(airl they had the cement walk placed
close about the tree. In grading the
street they took off the best one or two
feet of soil. AS If this was not suffi-
Gent to destroy any tree. they oiled
the street. Any ordinarily intelligent
! individual should have known that the
tree would die, and no doubt the
agents suspected as much, but they
were selling lots, and, as a rule. rank
deception is part of the game. OF
course the tree died. and in time some
one cut it down for fuel Later some
boys set fire to the stump, and a great
hole was burned in the earth. Comes
now an enterprising, public spirited
citizen, one of those good souls who
are of the veritable salt Of the EARTH
He caused a deep hole to be dug the
full size of the opening through the
cement Good soil was placed therein
and young tree planted. Now for the
sequel. The young tree grew apace, and
which the tree grew was sold at sever
al hundred dollars more than were ask
ed for the adjoininglots. Do street trees
have value? Another question arises
which is not difficult of solution: If
they have a value so high as demon
strated by the above instanced sale,
why do we not pass a reasonable
street tree ordinance and provide a suf-
fcient city forestry department? If
number of people demanded such.
legislation it would be enacted.

SEVERELY INJURED.
CoIIides With Auto AS He Turns
Out To Pass Another Car.

With cut nearly three inches long
on the left side of his head and de-
preston of the skull which may result
seriously, Bert K. Landers, No. 100
South Main street, Rutland was picked
up unconscious near his home Wednes-
day evening, about Z. 10 O. clock. A col
lision with an automobile was the cause
of his severe injuries.
Mr.. Landers was riding a bicycle
along Strongs avenue near the corner of
South Main street on his way home
from Louis Abraham tobacco store,
where he is employed, and was follow
ing an automobile closely. The ma
chine was stirring up a lot of dust and
this combined with darkness which was
coming on, apparently made it impossi-
BILE for him to see an approaching ma
chine when he turnedout to pass the
one he was following.
The front wheel OF the bicycle struck
the forward lamp on the car and Mr.
Landers was hurled violently to the
ground, striking his head with great
force on the hard road He was rem
dered unconscious and was picked up
and carried into the house just a few
yards away. He recovered consciousness
slowly, but could remember nothing of
what took place. The car was driven
by j. H. Eitasence.
DR.. A. H. Bellerose was summoned
and dressed the wounds. Unless some
complication develope from the depres-
sion of the skull, it is expected that Mr.
Landers will recover. Mr. Landers has
had rather unfortunate career as re-
CARDS accidents. When boy, he was
run over by one of the old horse cars
and lost a leg. Rutland Herald,

The power of wealth, or supposed
wealth, to encroach upon the rights and
safety of the public, and the great diff
Guilty of getting laws adequate to pro-
tect the public in such case, is constant
ly illustrated in the above mentioned bill.
Thus the statement that a provision that
'automobilists must always regulate
their rate of speed by the conditions of
traffic, it is believed, will prevent any
recklessness under the high speed limit
thatis allowed, " is an illustration of this.
For in most cases it will do nothing of the
kind.
We notice again the penalty for run
ming car, while intoxicated, is made one
year Imprisonment for first offence and
not less than one year for second. This
clause of course is practically bur-
lesque. The provision should be that no
one using intoxicating liquors should be
given license. Railroad companies do
not permit the employment of engineers
using intoxicants, least of all should the
State permit such to operate automo-
biles.
The clause in regard to running away
after an accident is inexcusably worse
than any other. For such action is with
out possible excuse. Any one doing it
should be punished severely, and license
permanently revoked.

ignoring the fact that there is almost

With the increasing number of seri-

of our best known and prominent Frank

opportune time to direct attention to
that class of automobile drivers who
seem determined to disregard the law

WHY the fellow returned 10 the Par

though. that he forgot to got some
