MARYLAND'S ARBOR DAY.

In climate like that of
Maryland, which is so favorable
to tree life that trees shoot up
promiscuously and in such album
dance that farmers are often
kept busy in the springtime up
roofing young trees that have
appeared in places where they
were not wanted. Arbor Day
has not touched the popular
imagination as it has in the dry
climate states. A proper sig
nifcance has never been attached
to Arbor Day in this state, says
the Baltimore American. The
Governor annually designates
the day with a few appropriate
remarks, but when the day
finally arrives practically moth
ing in the way of tree-planting
is done that is worth while unless
an orchard is to be planted.
Arbor Day should be attended
with practical results. There
should be an amendment to the
State law provides for an annual
Arbor Day, formulating a state
wide plan for tree-planting along
the public roads. Under the pro-
visions of the state road law the
State Road Commission might
include the planting of trees as
a part of the contracts for con-
structing stretches of good roads.
But the clause referring to the
planting Of trees is not manda-
tory. There seems to be no
other statue, general or special,
under the provisions of which
anybody ever gets sufficiently
inspired to plant trees along the
highways.
A mere suggestive coupling of
the annual Arbor Day with the
idea of planting trees along the
roadways would probably not
suffice to establish the custom.
If the women of Maryland would
only organize and get behind
this proposition to line the public
highways with trees there would
soon be something worth while
doing on the annual Arbor Days.
If the women in a single county
or in a single district of some
county would only get together
and plan and start a system OF
tree-planting along the roads,
the example would be inspiring
contagious. What is needed is
for some enterprising rural dis
trict to demonstrate that the
proposition is practicable.

It is unfortunate that the at
titude of the Administration
with respect to the mobilization
of the country's fighting force
on the Mexican border could not
have been made at the outset.
1t is not satisfactory now, but,
even as it is, it would have been
more potent to allay the appre-
tensions of the people and calm
the doubts of the MeXicans had
it come sooner and come sponta-
neously. The sending of 10000
armed men, backed by train
loads of ordance, ammunition
and supplies of war, to Texas to
engage in military "maneuvers, !"
with number of Warships hover
ing around in the Gulf close to
the shores Of Mexico, was to
lame and impotent an excuse to
fool anybody. The country saw
in it the use of the army and
navy in the interest of financial
and business concerns that had
made investments in Mexico, and
wanted the revolutionists, who
are dissatisfied with their Govern
ment and are making armed
resistance to its authority aWed
into submission because their
armed activities were endanger-
ing the security of those invest
ments. That is what the mobi-
lization meant to the people Of
the country; it was only meaning
they could figure out.
Even now the assurance only
is given that so long as Ameri-
cans engaged in lawful pursuits
are not molested, and SO long as
American rights are protected
Mexico need not be alarmed by
the reports of an American in
vasion," says the Baltimore Sun.
The rights of the revolutionists,
the Justice of their cause, have
nothing to do with the matter,
if the business interests Of GER
tain financial ci1cles in the
United States are threatened.
However, the country will be

Mr.. Bryan and Virginia.

The exclusive announcement in The
Washington Herald yesterday that Mr.
Bryan had issued an emphatic appeal to
the people of Virginia to retire Senator
Martin confirms the previous prediction
that Mr.. Bryan would not be content
with futile endeavor to defeat Mr..
Martins election as minority leader in
the Senate, but would attempt to i'll
fuence the approaching Senatorial con-
test. Mr.. Bryan's participation in the
campaign will certainly arouse interest
throughout the State, and the views of
leading Virginia editors, which were
published in The Herald yesterday, indi-
cate the diverse sentiment which will
result.
The consensus of opinion on both
sides, however, is that Mr.. Bryan's
course in I'M ecting himself into the Vir-
ginia contest will have little effect one
way or the other. This is as it should
be. The people of Virginia have suf-
hcient intelligence and experience to de-
eide for themselves between Senators
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1911-04-24

Morehead, himself a Virginian, is un-
warranted and absurd. Let the resolu-
ton, adopted by the board of trustees on
March ? last speak for itself:
an view of the fact that Dr. Thor
stenberg does not insist on the use OF
said history, deeming the question of q
textbook not of vital importance, it is
resolved, at his own suggestion, that
the use of a textbook be discontinued
&c, &c.
The faculty, summing up its position
in the premises, reasons logically: 1--WE
are not greatly concerned" they say,
with this or that particular textbook,
as no textbook determines the character
of the instruction given in our class
rooms, but we are vitality concerned
with the question of academic freedom,
by which we understand the right to
discuss frankly all mooted questions with
view of arriving at historic truths"
In addition to this, professors are an
swerable only to recognized authority,
in this case the board of trustees. No
professor, no college president, should
be publicly condemned until bad faith
or incompetency is proven.
If Roanoke College tries to maintain
the right of free and honest investiga-
ton, untrammeled by any sectional feel
ing, it is not only its privilege, but its
duty to do so.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1911-04-24

Martin and Swanson, on the one hand,
and Representatives Jones and Glass, on
the other. All four of these gentlemen
have had extended public careers, they
have been lifelong citizens of the State,
and they are perfectly able to present
their own claims for popular support.
They are well equipped to fight their
own battles, and we wrongly judge the
temper of the Virginia people if the
latter would not prefer to have the cam
paign proceed without interference from
outside parties.
The Washington Herald holds no brief
for any of the candidates, but it does
have an abiding faith in the ability and
wisdom of the Virginia voters to decide
for themselves the question as to who
shall represent them in the Upper House.

More Than Apology Needed.

Something more than an apology is
needed in the case of the young lady
upon whom the ban of exclusion was
placed at the Naval Academy The in
cident has disclosed condition of af-
fairs which somebody should remedy at
once with a strong hand.
The point at issue in this case is
whether the peculiar social system" at
the Academy makes unwelcome at a
social function an estimable and talented
girl who happens to be earning her own
living" The answer of the superintend-
ent, approved by Secretary Meyer, evades
this issue and regrets that there was
a Misunderstanding as to the status of
the young lady.
This does not meet the case at all.
There are thousands Of girls in Wash
ington who earn their living. The
Business High School graduates them
annually by the score They may not
belong to the exclusive social class which
the Naval Academy affects, but they are
the daughters of estinlable parents, and
are deserving of the highest respect of
any man or any set of men. Would
their status" cause any misunderstood
ing at the Academy? If so, we have
reached regrettable period in the his
tory Of this republic
We cannot believe that the attitude
of the authorities meets with the approx
al of the young men at the Academy. If
they have the right spirit they know
that in their institution there can be
no false standards. Labor is an honor,
and not a disgrace, and character is
ennobled by it. If they are not being
trained along these lines they will not
graduate as officers and gentlemen, but
as cads and snobs

Audubon DaY.

There are many reasons why the
lives of birds should be protected They
delight the eye and the ear, they destroy
the seeds of noxious weeds, and they
wage war upon the insects which destroy
grain and fruit These considerations
have led Alabama to set apart the 4th
of May as bird day" This date is
the anniversary of the birth of John J.
Audubon, the famous bird lover, and
is to be observed by study of birds
and bird life. Appropriate exercises
have been arranged in every school in
the State, so that the children may be
brought close to the forests, fields, and
streams. A part of the plan is to take
the little ones through the woods and
meadows that they may study nature and
the birds, their habits, and the necessity
of their preservation.
The position taken by the State of
Alabama is that the conservation of
birds should be the business of the State;
that the restraining hand of the law
should be laid heavily on those who wan
tonly and recklessly destroy bird life
In this Alabama is setting a notable
example to other States.

VALUABLE POODLE
RUNS AT LARGE
Dog Worth $4,000 Elopes
from Rich Mans Home.

Conshochocken, Pa. April 23.-The
sum of $4,000 is, and has been for two
days, running loose somewhere in the
lower end of Montgomery County. Sew
eral people have had this nice little
bundle in their hands. and have literally
kicked it away from them, thereby los
ing 800 reward in real money offered
for the return of the original loss.
The $4,000 is in the shape OF dog
flesh. 1t is French poodle. which be-
longs on the estate of the late James
Sinnott, millionaire. of the Lower Merton
section. The dog disappeared late
Wednesday. Since then it has been seen
and handled in Conshocken, in Spring
Mill, in the Plymouth township district.
1t is regarded as likely that this VAL
liable lump of dog meat is now some
where in the Chestnut Hill section, near
that part of Whitemarsh township
where the exclusive Whitemarsh Coun-
try Club has its acreages.

Democratic Investigations.

The multitude of inquiries which tn,
Democrats ir the House are about tc
PROFOUND to the Republican administra.
ton is the natural sequence OF politica
events.
The Republican party, which has con-
trolled the affairs Of the nation for sc
many years, must now be prepared tc
answer for its stewardship. 1t is face
to face with an alert and aggressive OPP
position, and, besides, the Presidential
campaign is not far distant The indie
pendent vote of the country, which is
larger now than ever before, will watch
with interest the development of the
Investigations If the Democratic party
can show that there has been misman-
agement. extravaganza, or dishonesty, the
effect upon the public mind cannot be
doubted If, on the other hand, the in
quiry demonstrates that the affairs OF
the country have been we'll administered
the voters will be apt to record them
selves against a change.
The Democrats cannot avoid the in
QUESTION upon which they are about to
enter If they remained passive it would
mean tacit approval of all that has been
done. They must, therefore, seek for
the shortcomings of the party in power
but if they fail to uncover any serious
defects the political effect will be ad-
verse In the meantime, the average
citizen will wait and watch, and his
judgment will be influenced by the facts
which the investigations will bring forth.

The Alleged Dynamiters.

If the perpetrators of the Los Angeles
outrage have been arrested, as is as
serted, there should be no effort spared
TO prove their guilt, and then, if con-
victed, they should feel the utmost rigor
Of the law. Public sentiment will no,
be satisfied with less. The property loss
in connection with the event was as
nothing compared to the sacrifice of in
nocent human beings. 1t was this tragic
character of the affair which made it so
deplorable
1t does not seem reasonable to sup
pose, however, that the act was either
inspired by or oountenanced by any or
ganization. Such supposition would
be based upon a condition of affairs
which is beyond credence. One or two
men. responsible only to themselves,
might seek to wreak vengeance upon
others, but to say that any body of men,
whether associated in unions or other
wise, would deliberately conspire to de-
stroy human life is repugnant to COM
mon sense
The men who have been arrested must
undergo trial. 1t is safe to predict that
conviction will be difficult The testi-
mony must necessarily be largely circum-
stantial, and this will add to the prob
ability OF disagreement among the
jurors. In the meantime, it would be
manifestly unfair to condemn in whole
sale fashion a large portion of the citi-
zenship of the country for crime with
which their connection as an organiza-
ton has not even been indirectly shown.

Attack of Savage Wolves.

Natorna, Kans., April 23.-George, two
year-old son OF Al Paxton, a farmer. re-
siding mile south of Natoma. wandered
away from home Friday afternoon, with
his half-grown pup for companion, and
became lost in the woods. He was found
yesterday morning by Emil Prutor, after
fifteen hours search, in which more than
100 persons took part.
When the news reached town that the
boy had wandered away, general
search party was organized. and all night
long a string OF lights moved to and fro
through the hills and holIows. Morning

At daylight the hunt was renewed
with vtgor. Doctors, preachers. lawyers,
school-teachers, merchants. and farmers,
women and children. lined up for the
search, and for the time being all inter-
est centered on the finding of the boy.
When found, George was asleep be-
meath a tree, where he had evidently
fallen in exhaustion, and beside him lay
the dog, the faithful companion Of his
nights wanderings.
Farmers expressed wonder that the
child had not been attacked by coyotes
or wolves. which are plentiful in that
neighborhood, and the only explanation
they can give OF his escape Is the pres
ence Of the dog with the baby.
