Washington's Trees.

The trees are the chief glory of Wash
ngton. Nearly 10000 OF them adorn
our streets and avenues. and in some in
stances their spreading branches form
a complete arbor across the thorough
fares. The city. viewed from some lofty
point like the dome of the Capitol or
the apex of the Washington Monument,
appears like a forest, in the midst of
which the buildings are situated.
The authorities are very properly deter
mined that this characteristic of the Ma
tioral Capital shall not be lost. No
tree is ever sacrificed without due con-
sideration, while along new streets the
rows of trees go hand in hand with the
sewer and the water main
1t is, therefore, a wise expenditure of
money which seeks to save the trees
from the ravages of insects. A tree de-
nuded by caterpillars is not only un-
slightly, but it is a reflection upon the
skill and activity of the parking COM
mission. 1t is to be hoped, therefore,
that by the prompt action which is now
being taken the foliage of the trees will
be preserved and the beauty of the city
thus enhanced

ton, the American citizen points with a
feeling of pride to the brevity of his
revered charter and emphasizes the fact
that in the whole history of the republic
but fifteen changes have been made in
the original. His committee to search
the journals for precedents is the SUI
preme Court of the United States, which
stands for him as the arbiter of his
rights. as against the great array of con-
stitutional lawyers which are the pride
of the Old World bar and judiciary.
With this mental attitude so preva-
lent throughout the country. there is an
undoubted responsibility for good law
making and for constitutional law franz
ing thrown upon Congress and its re-
spective committees. For there is
feeling in the minds of many, rightly or
wrongly, that when the Supreme Court
of the United States declares law un-
constitutional, some one has Numbered
in the framing of it.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
SAD FATE OF STINGY BISHOP.

Once there was a great famine,
so the story runs, in the city Of
Bingen. in Germany. The bishop
of the city was an avaricious man,
and, though his castle was full Of
corn and -four. he would not let
the starving people have any ex-
cept at exorbitant prices. AS
most of them had no money, they
could not buy. At last the rats
and mice of the city, unable to
find even a few crumbs to nibble
at, rushed to the castle in great
numbers. and besieging It, cap
tured and devoured not only tho
corn and flour, but also the bish-
op himself. This is the legend
Longfellow refers to In his poem.
The Children's Hour"
They almost devour me with
kisses,
Their arms about me entwine.
Till think Of the Bishop of Bin

Rhine"

Fire Chief Croker.

From the New York World.
This born fire fighter was a product of
the old days before the civil service re-
form. A nephew of Richard Croker, he
advanced to be assistant foreman only a
few weeks after entering the force. This
favoritism, as 1t would now be called,
put him in line for early promotion, so
that he became head Of the force when
he was but thirty-seven years old. But
it gave New York a chief in the prime
of life who liked nothing so much as
putting out fires, who always stood up
for his veterans, and who never asked
a man to go where he would not lead
the way. The scream of his automobile
siren was heard by day or night. No
blaze in the congested region could get
much start before Croker was on hand.
Apparently he never cared much for
nights off. His hours OF duty were
twenty-four.

Woodrow Wilson.

From the Greensboro u. c. Record
That Woodrow Wilson is OF Presiden-
tial size is admitted. For some time after
his election as governor OF New Jersey
1t did not seem that he cared much about
being a candidate. Maybe he does not
care now, but he is doing some queer
things-things no one expected him to do.
This may be one way OF securing the
nomination at the hands of the Demo-
cratic party, but we refuse to believe It.
II we are to judge the future by the
past, it is certainly not the way to be
elected. even if he is nominated.
But the strangest thing about II is Mr..
Wilson's change of front. He has the
right to change, but the voter also has
the right to change Some queer things
do happen in this vale of tears.

Amending the Constitution.

An American citizen never feels COM
Portable when suggestion to amend the
Constitution is made, no matter what
may be the source of the suggestion or
the arguments in favor of change, how
ever slight. He knows that, despite all

form, its infeXibility, and its inadequacy
TO meet changed economic conditions. its
pages contain inalienable rights that
more than compensate for any limita-
tons or deprivations the existence of
which he is reluctant to confess.
He knows that even to-day it is the
only constitution in the world that sets
forth with positive explicitness the great
principles of civil liberty. While the
question of this liberty is at all times at
the mercy of the government in all Eu-
ropean countries under their mobile,
flexible, and expansive constitutions, that
of the United States contains an exposi-
ton of his rights and liberties that he
is ready to protect with the resistance
of most stubborn conservatism.
Every attempt to change the Consti-
tuition in any direction to provide for
easy amendment under whatever plea of
necessity or advisability, is viewed with
suspicious jealousy. The American peo-
pie would rather bear the ills they have
than fly 10 others that they know not of.

BISHOP MACKAY-SMITH.
Retirement of Head of Church in
Pennsylvania Causes Regret.

Retirement of Head of Church in
Pennsylvania Causes Regret.
From the Philadelphia Press
The retirement of Bishop Mackay-
Smith from this diocese, in which he has
been for nine years first coadtutor bishop
and for a short period bishop, Will be
deeply, regretted outside Of the church
over which he presides. as well as with
IN it. In spite of the serious ill-health
against which he has yainly but reso-
lutely struggled for nearly half his term
of service, he has won an assured place
in the pulpit, ne has been an efficient ad-
ministrutor and in an Episcopal charge
Offering peculiar difficulties he has held
even the scales of authority and success
fully prevented extreme in any direction.
These services and this record have
made Bishop Mackay-Smith known to
the entire city as a bishop whose SER
mons showed his sense of responsibility
for social issues and reform. a man ac-
tive and courageous in denouncing public
shortcomings and DESTROYS and deter
mined to make his church and Christian
teaching of practical effect and influence
on the community as whole as well as
effectual in the salvation of individuals.

Two Virginia Editors.

Editor Glass, of the Lynchburg News,
and Editor Beasley of the South Boston
News, are two Virginia journalists
around whom centers a merry war. All
the other editors in the State are being
drawn into the whirlpool, and the way
they are singing ink al each other would
make the belligerent gentleman on the
editorial tripod OF the Arizona Kicker
turn green with envy.
Once upon time Editor Beasley was
against the machine. He was a pro-
gressive, an independent. voice of the
people, anything and everything that was
in opposition to the awful domination of
the political boss. AT the same time
Editor Glass was on the other side of
the fence. He trained with the regu-
lars. supported their tickets, was with
the organization, first, last, and all the
time, and finally landed in Congress.
In the whirligig of politics the two edi-
tors have reversed their positions. Editor
Beasley is now with the powers that be,
and Editor Glass is moving heaven and
earth to GUST them. He says that Editor
Beasleys change OF heart is due to
some paid advertising which appeared in
the columns OF the South Boston News.
Editor Beasley retorts that Editor Glass
is now a reforner and a shining light in
the independent ranks because he thinks
that he can thus gain a United States
Senatorship. All the other editors are
expressing their views with great free
dom and probably hoping that either
some advertising or Senatorship, they
don't care which, will come their way.
At any rate, the complete reversal OF
form on the part of Editor Glass and
Editor Beasley is giving the Virginia
people lot TO talk about, and incidental
ly is contributing to the gayety of ma
tons
