OYSTER BAY, N. Y, June 90
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt announced
today that since he threw down the
gauntlet to the national Republican or
ganization In Chicago he Is being de-
luged with letters and kilograms from
persons in all parts of the United States
pledging support to the new progressive
party.
Many OF the letters also contain
money. One Western progressive who
wrote that he rs heart and soul in the
fight for the progressive movement" en-
closed a check for $1,000. Others con-
tained 81 and S. bills. Colonel Roose-
welt expressed qualification at the wide
spread interest shown in the third party
movement.
The colonel and his son, Kermit, went
horseback riding through Oyster Bay
today, this being the colonel's first ap-
pearance there since his return from
Chicago. He was accorded a hearty
ovation by his mel ghbors.
Colonel Roosevelt said
I'VE are going to make a fight. We
have to do 1t. They have put 1t up to
u.s."
Although the colonel seemed willing
enough to talk within is neighbors, he
refused to discuss the third party for
publication. When asked whether the
progressives who had deserted the Re-
publican party would amalgamate with
their party, the former President said
that 1t was too early to discuss that
question, because 1t must be seen first
what the Democrats do at Baltimore.

Fifteen hundred trees are being plant

1t is the intention of the state tc
beautify the country through which
state roads have been and are being
constructed, and the trees will be
planted in sections where at present
there are no trees. In time the trees

FIGHTING ATTITUDE OF JOHNNY CoULoN,
the past year. Coulon convinced his
admirers that Solsie didn't have an out.
side chance.
In six rounds he plucked the am
bilious kid as he willed, and once he
had him on the mat. That is usually
the way when youngster strolls into
port with eyes dilating for bantam
glory at Coulon's expense.
COulOn became a fighter in 1906 in
an amateur tournament in Chicago.
Rather it was in that year he made his
first public appearance, because he had
been pugnacious individual when
riled ever since his first day in school.
In the same year he had his first pro
fessional bout Since then he has
fought seventy times and never lost a
decision.
The champion is twenty-three years
old, but he looks thirty. This may be
attributed TO serious outlook upon
life and a sparse growth Of hair, which
gives him the appearance of being
bald. At the same time his oldish
features belle the youthful activity Of
his body, but they show this-that
COulon's brain has matured in study
ing his profession considerably faster
than his body has. That's why he
holds his title. His old head knows
what his younger opponents are play
ing for and he has more boxing knowl-
edge stored away In that cupola than
most boxers will get In decade and
more than some OF them will ever ac.
quire. That's why Coulon is called
"the little old man."
Young Johnny Solzberg. who was
Coulon's opponent recently, is a Nor
wegian. He was born in Norway, but
came TO America when eight years
Of age. He is now eighteen. Solsie
had unique experience on the occa-
sion Of his first professional fight. He
knocked out his opponent in a round
and got 81 for winning. The police
raided the club, and Johnny and the
other parties concerned were taken to
the lookup.
With his one Iron man" in his pock.
ct, Soizberg was arraigned in court
next morning. When the magistrate
fined him $40 he was a badly scared
kid, for he knew that, lacking 50 of the
amount. he would be required to work
1t out In Jail. Paddy Roche, a neighbor
of his, came to the rescue. however,
md Johnny was let go. Roche is now
managing him.

TO CLEAN UP CITY.
School Children of New Rochelle, N. w.,
Begin Campaign.

The school children of New Rochelle
N. Y, have begun a campaign in all
parts of the city to clean front and
back yards and to look after the clean
ing of the streets and alleys. Mayor
Frederick II. Waldorf and Edward j.
Cordial, president of the city council,
have offered gold watches to the boys
and girls who have the cleanest yards
and who have caused others to clean
their yards by the end of June.
The children will form corps to pa
troll the streets to keep them free of
debris and papers and ask every per
son who is in the habit of throwing pa
pers, fruit skins and cigar stumps in
the streets to throw them into recep-
tacles to be placed at intervals by the

PLANT CHERRY TREES TO
ADD TO TOWNS REVENUE.
An Interesting Experiment Tried at
Burlington, Wash.

An interesting experiment in civic
advancement has been inaugurated in
the town of Burlington. Wash. At a
recent election this town went dry"
and. in order to secure a revenue to
Offset the loss of saloon license money.
the council decided to make use of
public grounds and highways by plant
ing thousands of cherry trees, the
cherry having been established as the
most practical tree crop for that sec
ton. The town will care for and har-
vest the crop, and it is estimated that
at the end of ten years a large part
of Burlington's civic expenses will be
paid for out of the revenue from the
cherry crop.
The interesting side of this expert
ment, however, is that it supplements
in practical way the movement now
growing in the east-the ideal planning
or Encouragement of town centers and
highways. Country folk are coming to
the realization that their roads, though
actually belonging to the state, virtual
ly belong to the people of the com
munity. The pride in community mat
ters is an esimable one, for so far as
the individual is concerned it is unself
ish. Farmers are now caring for the
highways in front of their homes be-
cause they consider it a duty to the
township and an asset to their places.
In many parts of Europe roadside
fruit trees are a source of regular in
come, yielding in some instances over
$500 an acre. Oranges have recon-
mended the planting of such trees
along the highways for the beauty that
they lend to surroundings. If the idea
of beauty can be supplemented by the
idea of Burlington's harvest of funds
it will give the plan double significance
to the community.

CHlCAG0'S SPLENDID TEXT
BOOK ON CITY PLANNING,
Wacker's Manual an Aid to the Right
Citizenship Movement.

In recognition of Charles II. Wack-
er's devoted service to the city Of
Chicago in developing the plan OF the
city Walter d. Moody, author of the
civic textbook now in use in the eighth
grade uf the Chicago schools, has ded-
!catcd the book to him and entitled it
"Wacker's Manual OF the Plan of Chi
cago."
The author has mapped out the
part Chicago school children are to
play in creating the greater Chicago
of the future. Chicago must grow to
conform to a scientific plan to replace
the makeshlft that has tried to keep
pace with the city's development in
the past, and to make this possible it
must have a citizenship trained in its
duties. A large proportion of the
graduates from our schools remain in
Chicago for their professional or busi
ness lives, and this book is intended
to fit them to take an intelligent part
as future citizens of great city in
carrying out the plan Of Chicago"
The first impression of the book is
made by its many Illustrations, which
are interesting because far from com
monplace. 4 large number of them,
including some color plates, are taken
from the well known report of the
Chicago Commercial club, on which
the manual naturally is based. This
material Is clearly and simply present
ed in combination with study Of ear
ly days IN Chicago and an account OF
what has been done to carry out the
plan. The scheme of treatment is that
of short chapters, each with its group
of questions. most of which are def
mite enough to help the child in an
alyzing and fixing the information
given. There is skill in the manner Of
giving breadth of vision to the pupil,
in making him realize the Importance
of his part in solving the worlds
greatest scientific problem-the elm
ination of waste-in relation to Chi
cago
The reasons why a city plan should
be developed, all Of which involve mu-
nicipal efficiency; the possibilities of
expansion, city building in ancient and
modern times, with a special study OF
Europe; the details Of the working
out of the Chicago plan as regards
transportation, perfect street system,
park system and a civic center
these are some Of the elements Of this
study of a city's ideal.
Many inquiries regarding this book
have been received by the Chicago
plan commission from school authori-
ties, city administrators, civic work
ers and others interested in similar
matters, and it seems likely that
many cities will soon follow Chicago's
example in the adoption of a school
textbook on right citizenship and city
planning.
