THE "MERIDIAN ROAD"

The News has no stones to throw
at the so-called meridian road prop
osition. 1t is a g~ood-enough plan, no
doubt. And people who do not care
to bother with the smaller things of
life, but are attracted by something
that sounds large and important, may
be attracted by the fascinating idea
of a great highway, running from
Winnipeg to the Gulf of Mexico. II

vaults were was reached by heavy stone
steps, supported by brick or stone arches,

SECRETARY MEYER FAvORS
FUND FOR entertaining
Regards It as Wrong That Naval
Officers Should Pay for Uphold
ing Nations Dignity.

Advocating a money allowance for OFF,
cjal entertainment to relieve naval officers
q personal payment. the Secretary Of the
Navy will say in his annual report:
ut has long been recognized as q cry
ing injustice to our higher-ranking naval
officers that they are compelled to spend
some part of their pay for entertainment
which has no other purpose than to up
hold the dignity Of the government In
all other services than our own an en-
tertainr.ent fund is provided, and is usu-
ally called table money For admirals
of the different grades 1t Is a fixed sum
for each grade, and for other officers It
varies. according to the nature of the
service.
I'm all nations except our own it is
recognized that entertainment to uphold
the dignity Of the nation and for its
benefit should be paid for by the nation
and not by the individual naval officer
out of his own pocket OF late years 1t
has been possible to allot small sums
for specific entertainments required OF
our ships. but this requires q specific
authorization in each case. 1t should be
provided that each commander-in- chief
and officers acting singly should have a
fixed sum to draw upon for official en-
tertainments, and ! recommend this to
your consideration"

The Friendly Trees.
a the Lewiston CMe.) sun.


Oliver Wendell Holmes used to talk
about his tree friends. and certainly II
you want friends from the open you
can't do better than cultivate the ac-
auaintance of the trees in your corner
of the world. The flowers will leave you.
the birds soon tire of your company and
fit away. but the folk whose roots are
deep in the soil are not so tickle.
Then. too, trees have such beautiful
manners that il is culture of the best sort
10 associate with them.
Have YOU noticed that however long a
tree lives in the city, it never learns any
city way? 1t never gets in a hurry.
never tries to copy the latest fashions,
never attempts anything in the way of
keeping up with modern thought II
simply reaches for the light and the blue
air above the dark roofs, il listens to the
song of the spheres, and sometimes in
lighter mood seems to look down with
quiet amusement on the Tuning humans
at its feet.
A lombardy poplar standing at the
angle OF two streets is the serenest of the
tree-seers that We know. BY day and
night the old monarch stands above the
worlds fret and hurry slide away like
water at its foot. At twilight X YOU
linger an instant in its neighborhood there
is no street noise loud enough to drown
the mystic voice of the seer dreaming In
the shadows overhead. That silken
whisper is full of the mystery of the
dark of the dsep-hearted earth, of the
glory of the wheeling stars.
Not even the music Of the pine can
better awaken the sense Of beauty and
pathos and wonder than the voice of tine
poplar. That delicate stir and rusfie
builds a ladder to dreamland down which
the ghost of a song might come. or the
soul of star slip into the heart of the
listener in the common street below.
