Fighting Tree Pests.

Wash:ngton's fight against tree pests
Is proceeding, and the early start made
this season together with the lateness OF
the leaf season leads the tree defenders
to believe that damage to foliage by in
sects this year will be reduced to tire
minimum. Many cities are sending out
alarms that elm-leaf beetles and tussock
moths are defolfating street and park
trees. In Washington the insects have
appeared, more especially the beetles. but
preventive and protective measures have
been taken.
In the parks, where the trees are under
the protection Of the Office of public
buildings and grounds, most of the trees
liable to insect injury. as the .elms, ma
pies and lindens. have been girdled about
six feet above the ground with a bread
band of extremely sticky matter. across
which caterpillars, climbing upward from
the earth, cannot pass to the crown Of
the tree. These gum sirdles were applied
to the tree trunks several weeks ago, and
are as soft and sticky as when they were
put on.
The street trees are being worked on by
a force OF men from the office or the
superintendent of trees and parking, and
the sprayer as it operates along the tree
rows, drenching the foliage with a fine
spray OF arsenic-lead solution, attracts a
great deal of attention. The elm trees
of the city have been quite thoroughly
"wet down and the hard naples are now
being charged with lethal doses for leaf
eating insects.
Tree loss has recently been heavy in
Washington from storms that break out
he nNf a ,,tf IN
some Instances uproot trees. usually OF
the quick-Srowing soft wood varieties, an
silver naples and lombardy poplars.
There is also the loss incidental to ex-
tensive building operations where trees
are accidentally and sometimes un-
avoidably injured. The annual paintings.
Of course. offset the losses and the tree
population Of the city maintains steady
growth. The gain is largely accounted
for by setting out trees along newly. cut
or newly improved streets. Especial care
Is required to preserve the trees In the
elder parts Of the city, more especially
in those parts where business is extend
ing.
II may not be generally known that
some Of the finest tree rows and foliage
arcades in Washington are in the older
sections. Four-and-a.hah street has one
of the shadiest elm arches In the city.
1t is particularly dense and graceful on
the southern squares of that street. The
lower part Of 9Th street southwest has An
arcade of Plane trees nearly as fine as
that which overarches the central western
approach to the Capitol. and there Is no
shadier street In the District than 1st
street southwest. which is elm-embowered
from n street south to the Eastern
branch. Third street southeast. has fine
planes. and the elms of North Carolina
avenue southeast are as noteworthy as
any other elms IN Washington.
Trees representing years OF growth and
care are deserving Of great effort to
protect them from insect foes. which
would appear to become more active and
pernicious with each recurring season.

The South and Reciprocity.

That the President Is not playing poll
ties with the reciprocity pact was well
shown in New York last night.
A large portion of his audience was
composed of southern men, representing
the progressive business interests Of that
section. They heard him with pleasure,
and cheered him, we are told, enthusias-
tically. He put the question in its bear
ing upon the south, and demonstrated
that reciprocity with Canada upon the
lines laid down would benefit that Sec
tion as much as any other section. His
argument was so strong his hearers were
convinced at once. and gave him proof
that, as he did, they desired the pact, the
whole pact. and nothing but the pact.
And yet there will be no electoral votes
for Mr.. Taft in the south next year. The
south will support the democratic nOmi-
nee for President. whoever he may be.
and upon Whatever platform he may be
standing. Whether the man is Gov. Har-
man, thought to be a little conservative
on the trust question, and therefore
favored by the men who nominated Judge
Parker; Gov. Wilson, who as a
politician is reversing the views he ex-
pressed an educator and author, and
has gone over 10 Mr.. Bryan; or Speaker
Clark, who, except as to wool, stands
about as he has always stood on the
leading issues; or Mr.. Bryan, who is e
platform in himsef-any Of these men, or
anybody else, carrying the democratic
standard would be in no danger OF defeat
in the south as against Mr.. Taft, or any
body else, carrying the republican
standard.
The situation will present sort Of
humorous feature. This pact probably
will be the only piece of tariff legisla-
fion entering into next years campaign
as a modification of the Payne law.
Nothing seems likely to come of the pop
gun mea sures the House has prepared, or
has In contemplation. They are so many
plays to the galleries. What sort of wool
schedule, or cotton schedule, or metal
schedule Mr.. Underwood would report II
the whole Payne law were in hand for
revision and the democratic party in
compete control cannot be estimated
from his present program.
Reciprocity with Canada, then, win be
the only tariff pact accomplished, and
Mr.. Taft as its author will be entitled to
the credit of both Initiating and pressing
the measure. And the south viii be
benef1ting along with north, east and west.
But the south will oppose her benefactor
at the polls. and give her votes to the
democratic candidate.
Mr.. Taft. however. takes no note of that,
and saould take none. II the tariff is
anything ii is a national policy. AS pro-
lection Is designed to advance the inter-
ests of all. reciprocity as its hAndmaiden
must perform a similar office. IL Mr..
Taft had undertaken 10 shape reciprocity
with the object principally of winning
votes for himself next year he would have
failed. a jughandied maneuver of that
kind would have subjected him to de-
served censure But as he proceeded upon
the broad principle Of the national well
fare. and as that will be forwarded IL the
pact is ratified. ratification should be as
prompt as possible.
