More Street Trees.

Two thousand trees will be added to the
streets of Washington this spring. some
are to replace trees removed for one rea-
son or another, and some are to grow
where none grew before. The gain in the
number of trees will be large. Year by
year the city tree is coming into higher
regard More and more people come to
the conclusion that the tree is worth
planting, nurturing and protecting.
Many cities heretofore Indifferent to the
tree are now encouraging 1t. Baltimore,
with miles Of shadeless streets. is moved
by a tree campaign. One Of the civic i'm
provement associations of that city took
up the question Of street trees. and the
matter was recently before the city coun-
Gil, with the result that the Monumental
city may become one of the sisterhood Of
tree-growing cities.
Some cities which have encouraged the
tree habit among their citizens have found
it necessary to control tree planting in
order to produce desirable results. In
those cities where tree planting and pro-
lection have not been a public function
but a private enterprise citizens have
been prone to follow their own taste. and
to plant trees of their preference and at
uneven intervals. Lack Of symmetry has
followed. Trees not especially adapted for
street growth have been planted. and not
fiourishing or perhaps dying have added
to the irregularity. 1t is better that the
people through their. city government
should conduct tree culture. Tree plant
ing in Washington is a municipal func-
ton.
Not long ago there was introduced In
the Pennsylvania legislature q bill to pro-
hibit the planting, and to provide for the
removal from any street, of all Carolina
poplar, ailantus and "silver maple" trees.
The ailantus, though frequently a hand
some tree. has roots that send up OFF,
springs and an odor that is fetid. Its
Punishment as q street tree is probably
just. The "silver maple complained
against Is probably not . maple at all, but
the tree generally called here the silver
poplar, which filters the ground with
aments or pussy Willows" and IL left
alone will cover large areas with upshoots
from its roots. Washington has had ex-
perience with Carolina and other quick
growing poplars. and finds red oaks. pin
oaks. willow oaks. buckeyes, hard ma
pies and planes the most satisfactory
street trees. knowledge of the variety
Of tree to plant in city streets has been
obtained by experience that does not cover
a very long period.

Enter the Shad.

Getting the Seines Ready" was a
headline in The Star last night. and the
news following it was that the Poto-
mac fishing season was about to open.
Seine hauling Is one of the picturesque
features of spring in the Potomac
country. The catches are not SO large
as they once were. but because OF in
creased food prices the money value of
a good haul Is considerable. Seine
hauling was spring business, and in
some cases a spring pastime. in the
waters that front Washington, but that
was before the fishing industry in the
Potomac had been so closely developed
in the lower reaches Of the river. Only
a comparatively small number Of shad
and herring can now get by the traps
and busy seines far below Washington
The shad season brings pleasure to a
large number of people. The shad, de-
spite the difficulty OF eating him, main
tains his popularity, and there are those
who hail him as the most toothsome
fish that swims.

Young Men and Politics.

Winston Churchill. speaking in the
house OF commons the other day. referred
to himself as young man under fifty,
and greatly amused his hearers by adding
that "a politician Is a man of promise
until he is sixty" He and Lloyd George
are both early birds in the way of repu-
tation and power. The one inheriting the
influence OF a great name. and the other
with nothing at the start but his talents.
have done some unusual things in poll
tics ct an age when many men are but
starting.
According to this scale Of reckoning we
have some young men OF great promi-
nence and promise in politics ourselves.
Mr.. Bryan has Just celebrated his Nifty
first birthday. Mr.. Roosevelt is only
about eighteen months older. William r.
Hearst has not yet reached the fifty
mark. President Taft 10 not quite fifty

Mexico and the Future.

Az there is good in everything" may
we not see something good for both
Mexico and America issue from this
racket on the border and the cause of it?
Americans have not been strangers to
the opportunities for investments in Mex
lean industries. Many OF them. with
large wealth and credit, have placed their
money in Mexican mines and lands and
railroads, after an investigation of the
riches and prospects Of the country. Mex
leo looked good. and they picked her for
the field in which to employ their capital.
But today the average American knows
more about Mexico, its area, its posses
sions, its people and its government,
than ever before. The topic has been
made popular. The sO-called war news
has carried with 1t details as to what
the revolt is about. Newspaper articles
and addresses by public men have set
forth in interesting forms Information
of value to men of business enterprise.
and they have read 1t all. How blessed
by nature our southern neighbor is makes
q very attractive story.
Mexican statesmen have for long been
inviting foreign capital. They have seen
that through such means development
would come; and OF course they have
wanted the country developed. 1t has
made great strides. but greater should
follow. and will follow after the present
trouble has been composed, and assur-
ances as to the future are given. And
American capital, being close at hand,
will probably find its way across the bor-
der in increasing quantities
Nobody denies to President Diaz the
qualities of a sound soldier and civil ad-
ministrator. or attempts to belittle the
services he has rendered his country. He
is the greatest of the Mexicans, and
what he has done for his people merits
unqualified praise. But his sun is set
ting. and a new order approaches. What
should the new order be?
1t should not be anti-Diaz, in the sense
of condemning the Diaz achievements
and attempting to undo such as have
contributed to the country's credit abroad.
1t should, however, and probably will.
take account Of the marked difference
between the present day in Mexico and
when President Diaz first took office. He
found his people impoverished from strife
and demoralized from divisions, and he
acted with the energy demanded of such
conditions.
If his rule and methods are now too
hard: If his performances have been so
successful that by reason of that very
fact they require amendment to meet the
conditions they have created. why may
not amendment be effected without shak-
ing the country to the center and impair
ing it's credit at home and abroad? In
q word. why should not his successor
be a Diaz up-to-date. administering at
fairs firmly but conservatiyely, and
taking full account of the advance OF the
people as well as of business during the
past quarter century?

in favor of the perpetuation of great
names and the memory Of great events In

Restoring Old Street Names,

Boston has picturesque plan for pre-
serving old street and place names. The
Daughters of the Revolution have long
sought to accomplish THE. and the Boston
street department has at length ordered
that az fast az the present street signs
need renewal or repair the original name
of the street shall be inscribed in small
letters below the preeept name.

busy. close built streets will appear such
names as Turn Again alley, Frog lane,
Blackjack alley. Fish lane, Cow lane.
Gray's alley. Ship street. Sea street. Lime
