Political quid nuncs throughout
the country cannot but be interest
ed in the reported near retirement
of two Republican Senators who
have held office in the United States
Senate each for thirty years. They
are Senator Aldrich of Rhode Is
land and Senator Hale of Maine.
During the past fifteen or twenty
years no two Senators have exert
ed more influence or as much infu-
ence as these two men in the great
legislative affairs of the country.
Senator Aldrich has long be n
known in Newspaper Row as the
boss" of the Senate, and the title
has been more than a mere name.
Senator Hale has as long been
known as the ruler of the Navy. 1t
is fitting that they should resign.
They have had their day. AS Cic-
Gro SAYS, 1.-THE times have changed
and we must change with them. p"
New wine should not be placed in
old bottles" Actors and beauties
seldom know when to retire. They
continue to make last appearances,
but the younger generation finally
forces them off the stage. The
younger generation of Senators are
Beveridge, LaFollette, Cummins,
Deliver, and others. Talk about
ancient or medieval history! The
every day history which we'll in
formed people discern in the col
umns of the daily newspapers is
surcharged with meaning far more
important and interesting to the
man that reads it than any previous
era in the history of the world.

AS the Panama Canal draws daily
nearer and nearer to the time of
completion, it is interesting to
think of its great influence on the
commercial and industrial force of
this hemisphere and on the world.
Information comes that an increas-
ing number of students from South
America are seeking learning in
American colleges and universities.
This is especially so, 1t is said,
with regard to Peru. 1t is nearly
three thousand miles west of Lima,
the capital of Peru. This city is
almost directly south of New
York and Washington, and trade
will doubtless during the next de-
cade be opened up over all the
western coast of South America,
not only with the Pacific coast
cities of the United States, but
also with New Orleans and other
cities Of the Mississippi Valley,
as well as with the great ports
of the Atlantic coast. Excessively
high tariffs and all restrictions on
trade are inconsistent with time
and opportunity. There will soon
be migration of technically edu-
Gated young men southwark to pen
citrate the Andes where mineral
wealth in gold, silver, zinc, copper
and iron were barely scratched four
or FIVE centuries ago by the old Inca
civilization.

HIGH COST OF LIVING
BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE.

There are too many actors to bore as
And stars who are hardly shine;
There are too many girls in the chorus
SuDsisting on Holsters and wine
There are too many catered and waitered,
Who call for the fzzy-and-dry.
Too few who are sowing and killing and hoe
ing
so living-well, living is high.
There are too many thrummers and strum-
mers
Annoying the keys and the strings;
There are too many chauffeurs and loafers
Who are riding in automo-things.
There are too many schemers and dreamers
And only few who produce,
Too many investing in golden-egg nesting
And too few who are growing the goose.
There are too many preachers and teachers
Who work the south half of their faces:
There are too many tourists of jurists,
Whose suits are concealed in their cases.
There are too many lawyers and lawyers
Who demand, but who cannot supply,
And they serve a subpoena upon Martini
And wonder that living is high.
Too many are looking for cooking.
Too few are encouraging spuds;
Too many find SHINING is simpler than spinning
To dress in delectable buds
There is too much Of diction and fiction
And not enough actual TOLL
There are too many diggers at fictitious
figures
And not enough diggers of soil.
There are too many rhymers and chimers
Iike me) doing versihed stunts:
There are too many gapers dixie you) of the
papers
Who read and forget both at once.
There are too few who skin hard the vine
yard.
Too many imbibing it's juice.
And the while we inquire: ''Why does living
grow higher?"
The bulk of us fail to produce.

ArbOr and Bird Day
Proclamation By The Governor

"By virtue of the p over vested in
me by law, l, James 0. Davidson,
Governor of the State of Wisconsin,
hereby designate Friday, May 6, as
Arbor and Bird Day and request
that it be duly observed by all
schools, colleges and other edu-
cational institutions by the plant
ing of trees, and the adornment of
school and public grounds, and in
other suitable exercises having for
their object the advancement of the
study of arboriculture, the promo
tion of spirit of protection to
birds and trees, and the cultivation
of an appreciative sentiment toward
them.
The value of tree culture and the
necessity for the preservation of
bird life are now generally recog-
nized. We failed TO appreciate the
great bounty of nature in our prim-
eval forests until the waste of reck-
less logging and proven table fires
reached such dimensions that the
country became alarmed, and con-
sequent expensiveness of fuel and
material caused people generally to
consider our natural resources and
favor steps that would tend in some
measure to repair the damage
brought upon US by recklessness
and greed.
The establishment of forestry de-
partments in many states, and the
decision of courts of last resort to
the effect that private owners of
timber land cannot denude it of it's
trees so as to cause said erosion or
interfere with the navigability of
streams, are evidences of progress
that augur we'll for the future.
This subject is worthy of the
most serious thought of all of our
people, and / trust that the citizens
Of this commonwealth will continue
to lead in all movements that make
for public welfare"
