TREES.
TUSCALOOSA Globe.]


However much the subject may be
overworked, it is difficult to live thru
the spring season without "springing'
something about trees. A tree does
not have to be old to make it historic.
Mrs John +. Lacey has a weeping will
low growing near the family residence,
that is notable, tho it is now scarcely
more than a switch.
The cutting was presented to her
by Major Alder, of Iowa City. 1t came
from the grave of Washington, Mt.
Vernon, and that cutting in turn came
from the grave of Napoleon. st. Helena.
Major Alder was once resident near
Eddyville, and went to school in this
city. He presented similar cutting to
Mrs. Alice Bennett. This grew at first
but later died.
When Major Lacey was in Center
vile, some years ago, on speaking
tour, he asked to see Major Stanton.
He was driven to the Stanton suburban
residence and found only the major at
home. 1t was explained that the family
was in the act of removing to Nash
vile, Tenn, in fact all had already gone
excepting the major himself. Stanton
said to Major Lacey Il was walking
about as you drove UP bidding these
trees goodbye. My wife and 1 have
resided here for tllirty-five years, and
know personally of every tree about
these grounds There was an i'm
pressive touch of sentiment and a trace
of pattos about Major Stanton's good
bye to the trees that was not to be
passed unnoticed.
A few years ago. down in Davis
county, this state. Major Lacey picked
up by the road side, few unusually
large hickory nuts, those big long nuts
that you find only along the river bot
toms. He planted them and now the
saplings are head high, or more.
There is this unfortunate thing sell
fshly speaking, about trees: By the
time you are old enough to take an
intelligent interest in their virtue and
possibilities, the labor you perform re-
verts largely in its benefits to the next
generation. "He who plants a tree,
loves another generation better than
his own If that quotation is not
exact. it is somewhere in the neighbour
hood

residence Is at the end of the boulevard,

a tight bond Is laid and rolled very
compactly after which hot liquid tar
or asphalt or bituminized substance is
poured over it and allowed to percolate
thru the stone, cementing the whole
together. This is beautiful, resilient
pavement and is success. One course
of brick, on a good sand cushion
makes serviceable pavement at $1.50
per square yard.
There is much unnecessary cost
worked into street pavements by the
patentees of high sounding processes.
Granitoid and Hassam concrete blocks
are patented names for concrete paw
ing. About the only difference from
other concrete is rs cents per yard ex-
ira cost Likewise with the bithulithic
which has cost Grinnell S2.13 per yard.
1t is practically Identical with ST.
Paul's bituminized pavement at s1.30
per square yard. The patentee of the
Grinnell pavement receives s1.45 per
square yard for the two inch top wear
ing surface alone while almost the
same thing under another name is laid
elsewhere for so cents. The town that
would pave should see TO it that it
paves right. Then it can pave long.

CEMENT PAVING o. K
mason City Times.]

mason City~TimeS.1
Last year the mayor and city coun-
ell of Mason City, believing that CO.
ment paving would stand the test as
we'll as other kinds of paving placed
contracts for several blocks of it in
prominent alleys down town where
the traffic is the heaviest. This paw
ing was placed late in the fall dur
ing the wet weather and while it was
freezing some. and yet this paving
came out this spring without any
trouble whatever SO far as Engineer
Wilson can find.
Cement paving, al the price con-
tracted for by our city council the
other night, means without question
a great impetus to paving work, not
in this section. It's price should do
in all towns and cities, as the cost
will enhance the value of the prop
erty more than the cost of paving.
Last fall our city council let a con-
tract for six blocks of alleys to be
laid with cement paving. and altho last
fall the ground froze wet and we had
one of the severest winters that this
section has seen for years, this paw
ing showed up this spring without
single crack or break, and everyone
is so we'll pleased with the result that
the city council the other night let
contracts for around two and one-haif
miles of cement paving at S1.25 per
square yard, to be laid this summer IN
Mason City.
Cement paving means more, If any
thing for the smaller towns than It
does for the larger ones. because here
tofore these smaller towns have not
been able to afford paving on account
of the high cost necessary to get con-
tractors who can handle brick or the
other materials before used, to take on
job containing only few blocks.
Now, with the proper set of specifica-
tons, such as are used by our city en-
gineer, any reliable local contractor do
ing concrete work can properly put
down cement paving and it leaves ev-
cry local situation able to take care of
its own work.

spreading tree from the west part OF
town. and placing It in his front yard.
In cities where they are all the time
tearing things up. such feats are not
uncommon.
The late DR.. M. Stalker, Of Ames.
had more than seventy varieties Of
trees at his beautiful country home
south Of town, "The Gables" Tree en-
thusiasts are full Of fads. The doctors
brother, Dillon Stalker, formerly of
northwest Oskaloosa, had a way OF
arching a driveway. He would select
two saplings properly located. bend the
tops together, entwine them, trim the
branches below and let them grow
above. Thus bunchy arch OF green
was obtained. Leaving the original
homestead purchased by the late Alex
Caldwell, Mr.. Stalker installed the same
kind of a growing arch, on the forty
this side that he improved.
Those who have no interest in trees
are heavy losers in one Of the best
brands of enjoyment

FRACTIONAL FOLLY.
I,Snirit Lake Beacon.

Whether they are insidious foes of
the progressive members Of our Iowa
delegation or merely superv1cealble
friends of the president the men who
have sprung the movement for an adj
ministration organization in Iowa have
made a serious political mistake.
President Taft was in no danger of
censure at the hands Of the approach
ing state convention. No republican
who places party interests above those
of any man or who loves his country
more than either should be willing to
bind himself or his state two years in
advance to the support of Taft or any
other individual.
In the state of Iowa it has been the
purpose and endeavor of many allied
with the progressive wing of the party
to keep fractional politics out of the
state campaign this year. Such strife
in some congressional districts was
unavoidable. but by these it was held
to be practicable and helpful, all things
considered, to give Governor Carroll a
second term without opposition and to
make no organized effort to elect or de-
feat factional state candidates as such.
The answer Of Iowa standpatism to
this conclusion seems to be a determin-
alton to force a contest between Taft
and our senators here at home and to
challenge progressives to contest all
along the line. Neither in Iowa nor
in Washington have these people been
running away from a fight when it has
been insisted upon by the belligerent
reactionary
This Iowa movement to force a fac
tional fight would seem to be supple
mentary to an announcement made at
Washington a few days previously The
Des tMoines conference in its trouble
breeding proclamation seemed to rec
ognize itself as part of the national or
ganization pledged to contribute speak
ers and influence to a factional row in
our state. Such a campaign can only
emphasize party misfortune, more con-
spicuously diagram the patriotic pur-
poses Of our insurgent senators and
congressman and place the president
unnecessarily at increased disadvant-
age.
The attitude of this paper has dis
tinctly favored all possible relations OF
peace and harmony. AT the risk Of
giving offense to more jealous influ-
ences with which it has labored it has
favored unanimous denomination for
Governor Carroll and general armis-
tice in the state campaign. Enough Of
such influence was given expression
to practically assure the success of
such program until the recent erup-
tons at Washington and Des iMoines.
The result is not now definitely fore
Swallowed but at this writing almost
any measure of belliferency may be ex-
pected. And it is logical to assume
that the more that is done along the
line of vindicating the administration
against party attacks not in contem-
plation and in condemning our senators
for the crime of carrying out the
wishes of an overwhelming majority
of Iowa republicans the more monu-
mental will this reactionary fully ap-
pear.

A CLEAN IN THE SHADOW

Yesterday brought a terrible calam-
fly. The wreck of the Rock Island
train on the Great Western tracks
north of Marshalltown was the worst
In the history of the state Its multipli-
cation Of horrors has been partially
told and need not be repeated. 1t was
a dark and gruesome day but with all
It's red horror it has its brighter side.
Il it was a day that brought un-
speakable sorrow and despair it also
brought into high relief the highest i'm
pulses of humanity. Human helpful
ness responded to human need and the
sp1endor of common brotherhood shone
thru the shadow. Pity and tender
charity walked thru the aisles between
the dead and wounded and tore at the
wreckage with one thought that human
being lay beneath it to be rescued and
assisted. Homes opened and men and
women poured out to offer such aid
as they might bestow. If it was day
of horror it was also a day that proved
that the hearts of men are altered to
a common chord.
Who could help helped. There was
mo question except of the possibility
of service. Men stood about stunned
to awake to intense activity when OPP
portunity offered. It was a beautiful,
hopeful and comforting thing to see
and realize such common pity, char
tty and willingness.
So with all it's horror, calamity, even
such calamity has a face that smiles
on the future and brings humanity
closer to each other and to God. 1t
requires calamity to bring out the best
that is in mankind. Each teaches it's
lesson, and the horror of yesterday,
which darkens today and will darken
many days to come shows thru the
anirk of its lowering shadow a glimpse
of sunshine which should bring hope
and comfort even to those who mourn
Ddeepest.

The Denison Bulletin says "that good

Carroll didn't get much done on his

A,,.ME TO IMPROVE THE TOWN,

This is the time of year when towns
and cities thruout Iowa should be get
ting ready to pave and to lay sewers;
most of them have water mains. 1t is
the public utility improvements that
make the town more desirable than the
farm for residence, that make the
small city more desirable than the viii
lage. A house with all the modern
Improvements means nowadays a
house with city water and sewer serv-
dee for bath room and a furnace or
BOILER heating plant, but it is only
possible in towns that build the sew
srs and water works
Z Water usually comes first 1t is nee

cry town has its water works but not
nearly so many have built sanitary
sewers. These are just as necessary
and even as essential to good health.

When 1t comes to street paving,
however, there is room for a wide
baving to select. Heretofore street paw
ing has been kept a luxury to be in
5ulged only by the larger towns. The
paving men are to blame by keeping
profits, graft and unnecessary litiga-
Jon have kept the price of paving
much higher than it ought to be, so
high that the average county seat town
gould not afford it. However, good
