PLEADS FOR A PARK
Georgetown Feels Sighted by
the Government.
NOT ONE BREATHING SPOT
Change to City Conditions Makes
Fact More Noticeable.
BILL NOW BEFORE CONGRESS
Montrose Estate, Considered an
Available Site, Said to Be in
the Market
BILL NOW BEFORE CONGRESS

Georgetown is still without public
park. There is no reservation set aside
there for the use of the public, notwith-
standing the fact that the section of
Washington lying west of Rock creek is
large and populous. Time and again ap-
peaIs have been made to Congress to
come to the relief of the citizens of
Georgetown and appropriate for a public
park in that section of the city, but the
bills looking to the purchase. of such a
park have been put quietly to sleep in
committee. The Senate, to be sure, has
three times passed a bill for the pur-
chase Of the beautiful Montrose estate
for a park. but the House has failed to
act upon 1T. A bill for the purchase of
this property is now before both houses
of Congress. It has been referred to the
committee on public buildings and
grounds, and it is expected that it will
be favorably reported by the Senate
committee and again passed by the Sen
ate. What its fate will be in the House
plan to make a hard fight for victory
this session
The Montrose estate. containing sixteen
acres OF laHO, lies north OF II street ana
east OF Lovers Lane. Montrose Is a
natural park. with undulat1ng lawns and
beautiful trees. It Is said that all that
is necessary to turn the estate into a
park Ia to remove the old houses that
now stand on the property and to place
benches along the walks. If the estate
is turned into q park it will be one Of
the most beautiful reservations In the
city. The citizens OF Georgetown fear
that unless action is taken soon by Con-
gress looking to the purchase Of Mont
rose. this property will be disposed Of by
its owner and will be built UP with cheap
houses. Already property in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Montrose has been
covered with small and unattractive
houses. 1t Is said that because of the
heavy taxes the owner of the estate,
who is a nonresident of Washington,
may feel 1t incumbent to dispose of the
property.

Forest Fires More Costly This
Year Than Ever.

Officials of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture are of the opinion
that 1910 will hold the record among
many years for the severity Of the losses
from forest fires. The summer fires fol-
lowed a spring season believed to have
been the worst, certainly in the Lake
States, known for long time. Nor is it
wise to assume that the danger is over
when the fierce confagrations which have
called forth in the Mountain States the
efforts of three federal departments have
been conquered. The forests will not be
safe until the fall rains and SHOWS have
once more made 2 wet blanket of the dry
forest floor. That the total losses of the
year will run up to many millions OF dol
lars is considered certain.
How such losses may be prevented is a
matter of general public concern. To
the national forest timber burned must be
added great amounts on state and pri-
vate holdings. besides the immense dam
age done to town, farm and other prop
erty. Railroads have suffered from the
interruption of traffic as well as from
direct losses. A bulletin by Forester
Henry S. Graves discusses forest fires
and the proper methods of preventing
and fighting them, as follows:
"In some sections of the country forest
fires have always been of such common
occurrence that there is popular notion
that they cannot be prevented. The risk
from fires can never be entirely elimin-
ated, for in the forest there is always in
flammable material which is very easily
ignited. They may, however, be largely
prevented. and under efficient organiza-
ton their damage may be kept down to a
very small amount. The problem is like
that in cities, where fires can never be
entirely eliminated, but where the risk of
loss to property may be reduced almost
to insignifcance.
The importance Of systematic provision
for the early discovery Of fires and for
getting properly equipped force of fire
fighters quickly to the scene of an out
break is insisted upon by Forester Graves.

The Governor in Carroll County.

More than 1000 persons attended the
picnic of the Westminster Farmers
Grange in Euyler's Grove near West
minister. The address of welcome was
delivered by DR.. I. w. Herring, who
spoke briefly and said the organization
was honored in having his Excellency the
Governor, as guest on the occasion.
The Governor made an interesting and
suggestive speech. He urged farming
intelligently and scientifically, and the
employment of better methods.
Better transportation and organization
he considered necessary if the farmer is
to reap the just results of his toll. He
described the farmers organization in
Wicomico county, where the farmers are
not compelled to ship their products to
city markets, but sell them to direct pur-
chaSers.
"Send your boy" he said, 'at least for
one year to Maryland Agricultural Col
lege." He also advocated instruction in
the elementary principles of agriculture in
high and common schools.
The Governor said road Improvement
costs money, but is good investment.
Congressman Talbot advised farmers
to give their boys the best education pos
sible and strongly urged the improvement
of the public highways He caused much
merriment by '.jollying" the Governor on
his loneliness and advising him TO come
to Carroll county and take one of its fair
daughters as companion, il she will
have him.
DIR. Augustus Stabler, of Montgomery
county, gave talk on the prevention of
typhoid fever.
]. Wesley Biggs was chairman and
Michael E. Walsh secretary of the COM
mittee of arrangements.

The Indispensable Man.

Now and then government clerk dies
in a secondary position and but little note
is taken of his death beyond the bare
comment that he served virtually a life
time in certain capacity. In way this
may be a reflection on his usefulness.
Probably men like Thomas P. Cleaves,
who was a clerk of the Senate Commit
tee on Appropriations for thirty-seven
years, find their relative obscurity pleas
ant. He began work as clerk OF the
committee in 1873, when Senator Nor
rill, of Vermont, was its chairman, and
continued to the end of Senator Aid
rich's chosen time for retirement. He
saw new Senators come and veteran
Senators 60, and alike he outstayed
them. They had the honors and the
fame, but he was indispensable. The
sense of knowledge and authority over
his superiors which such man pos
sessed, aloof from political changes. was
perhaps his best reward. He was neither
an accident nor great statesman, but
plain necessity. In the various depart
ments of the government such men are
not infrequent. They are unknown to
the public, their services attract no at en-
ton outside of their sphere, but they are
the infallible parts of the machinery
when the administrations change 1t i
often harder to fill their places than tt

Armour, Swift and Morris Indicted

]. Ogden Armour, Louis F. Swift, Ed
ward Morris and Edward Tilden, the big
four in the Chicago beef trust, were in
dicted by federal grand jury, charged
with being in a combination in restraint
of trade, in violation of the Sherman anti
trust law.
In addition named in the true bills were
Arthur Meeker, of Armour & Co.; Chas.
Swift and several other men, ten in all,
of lesser light IN the beef combination.
The corporations named in the recent
true bill which was found faulty by Judge
Lands weren't named. The grand jury
had followed out the instructions of Judge
Landis and indicted the men instead Of
the corporations.
men" indicted follows:
J. Ogden Armour, president of Armour
& Co. and director of the National Pack
ing Company, declared to be the clearing
house for the trust.
Edward Morris. president of Morris &
Co. and director Of the National Pack
ing Company.
Louis S. Swift, president of Swift & Co.
and director Of the National Packing
Company.
Edward Tilden. former president of the
Board of Education and president Of the
National Packing Company.
Arthur Meeker, general manager for
Armour & Co. and director of the
National Packing Company.
Charles H. Swift, director for Armour
& Co. and director the National Pack
ing Company.
Under Section of the Sherman anti
trust law those convicted under this in
dictment may be sent to prison for one
year, fined $1,000, or both, in the discre-
ton Of the court
The voting of the indictments is dis
tinct victory for Judge Landis. He, ac-
cording to men close to him, took the at
titude that the constant reports Of the ex-
istence Of beef trust were persistent
enough to merit thorough inquiry. All
the court desires, these men declare, is
that the matter have, once for all, a
thorough investigation by a grand jury
not subject to suggestions by an opposing
element, and if indictments were found,
to have jnry Of twelve men pass on the
evidence and either find that there is Oh
there is not beef trust.

BOYS DON'T.

Don't cultivate taste for liquor or
tobacco They do you no good. They
are expensive, and until your tastes and
stomach are prevented they rebel against
them.
Don't go out of the hall between acts
1t looks bad. If you wish to let people
know that you are there, you have the
manager announce it. It's better taste.
Don't forget that you are to run this
great country some day-fill all the pub
lie Offices, make all the laws. decide all
judicial questions, manage all the busi-
ness enterprises. and in word, own and
control this great world.
Don't let your temper take the bits be-
tween its teeth. my boy, and imperil what
little remains of self control. Bear con-
stantly in mind the biblical injunction. that
he who ruleth his own temper is greater
than he who taketh city-or words to
that effect.
Don't spend your entire income in fine
clothes. Good manners, good sense and
good habits will bind your friends closer
to you, make you think more of yourself,
be respected more by others, and better
received into society than any amount oi
fine clothes will that you can buy.
DON'T consider it manly to be around
with bowie knife and revolver; to carry a
pipe and to swear Keep well in mind
that this is not what constitutes man.
No, boys, this will never gain for you the
place that true man may occupy. Not
even the wearing of big moustache
makes the man. Uprightness in dealings
and honorable convictions are what we
admire IN q man. and what constitute
manliness.
