Asks POr.

Inspired by the baliny weather and
occasional spring-lilke days. Carl Bann-
wart. secretary Of the Shade Tree Com

Mr.. Bannwart also figures on the as
sistanee of the children In caring for
the trees and shrubbery. The Board
of Education favors the organization
of the school children. and IL they dis
play the same intelligent interest as
last year many of b plants In the
parks and young trees win be better
cared for.
A new lighting system of the i'm
proved ornamental standard in Wash
ington Park is one of the plans of the
commission. Others r the setting
out of several large trees in the parks
by means of the moving machine, one
being a tree for Central square. a new
fountain for Clinton Park, new side
walks for Military Park. especially the
approach to the Hudson terminal,
planting of additional parking strips
and preparations for the Washington
statue in Washington Park.
Further plans of the commission are
the enlargins Of openings around trees.
according to ordinance. to insure a
sufficient supply of air and water to a
number of trees.
MI. Bannwart contemplates q vigor-
Gus and early spraying to protect
foliage and exterminate the insect
pests.
He figures on planting 200 new trees
In streets and the replacing of 600
others which died, the planting of 90
In front Of public buildings and the
addition Of 1000 In he nursery.

The Star Will Take Reasonable Care of Refused Manuscripts,
but Young Authors Are Advised to Keep Carbon Copies.

Pupils still continue to send in their
names as contestants In The Stars
Prize play-writing contest, and al
ready one play of merit has been re-
ceived. The play received is the work
of J. Warren Atkinson, of IL Hill
street, Bloomfield, and is a tragedy of
a thrilling character. This young
writer has obeyed the rules of the
contest and his manuscript will be
submitted to the judges at the proper
time.
Other manuscripts have been re-
ceived, but the play of Mr.. Albinson's
is the first one that will be given con-
sideration. Another manuscript has
been received from e. T., called a light
comedy act, in which E. T.. has in
terpolated some songs. In order to
Judge this play it will. of course, be
necessary to pass also upon the songs.
In this case the act is a musical one
and the dialogue counts for nothing,
yet the writer has failed to submit the
main part of the act. If the songs
are not the original work of the pupil
it will, of course. be useless to send
in the music, as In that-ease the play
could not be considered under any cir
cumstances.
Someone has asked a very important
question: What will become of a re-
fused manuscript? While The Star
will not be responsible for lost manu-

PROOF THAT HE HAS
CURE FOR RHEUMATISM

There are few discoveries Of remedies who
can give absolute proof that they have found
a permanent cure. One Of these rare excep-
tons is Mr.. S. T. Delano.
He is a living testimonial Of the efficiency of
his remedy. The photograph truthfully shows
the terrible effects of the racking pains OF
rheumatism, but today he is enjoying perfect
health and is devoting his life to curing others.
rheumatism was hereditary in his family.
When only a youth the disease became chronic
with him. He suffered untold agony for SO
years. and after spending $4,000 for medi-
cines, doctors and experiments, he finally dis
covered the remedy which completely cured
him.
He now offers TO send any rheumatic suf-
ferer a free package of the same remedy. and
he has literally bushels Of letters of gratitude
as proof OF his liberality. Address s. 7. De-

CHICAGO. ILL Special The
campaign OF Colonel Roosevelt for re-
nomination will be one of back TO
the people," His platform was out
lined In the Columbus speech, accord
ing TO Alexander II. Revell, Of the ma
uonal Roosevelt committee.
Colonel Roosevelt's announce
ment in answer to the plea of eight
Governors and hundreds of thousands
OF his admirers that he accept the
nomination for President marks a
climax in the spontaneous uprising of
sentiment favorable 10 him." said Mr.
Revell.
One of the considerations, which
1 think determined him, is that which
he could not have overlooked-that
among those not inclined to his nomi-
nation. no word is said OF any lack of
ability, of purpose. of high ideals, OF
earnestneSs of purpose, Of efficiency
as an executive, of his stalwart cour-
Tor what the people want. and that is
why they love him.
1 think the general demand, crys-
tallized by our committee, that has
sprung up all over the country. that
he accept, IL nominated, is based
largely on the same idea-that he
have good second term, and not
confine his national service to one
term of his own and a portion OF one
when he practically was representing
another.
The Republican party will accent
the Columbus platform because IL is
the only platform upon which the
Republican party can stand and hone
TO succeed. II is a platform which
meets the urgent and obvious needs
of the people"

Hon. NJ +. Tarpey San Francisco:
have read the statements in re-
gard to my candidacy which you have
received from Mr.. Clark 1t is n char
asteristic utterance, generous, cOnsid-
crate. unselfish, broad-minded.
OF course, i am gratefully appre-
ciative of his action and OF his kind
references to me. But most certainly
and positively I cannot for one mo-
ment consider his retiring from Cali
fornia in my favor. On the con-
trary. I am more than ever deter
mined to support Mr.. Clark and to
urge every friend 1 have in California
to support him.
To my mind Mr. Clark is the logical
candidate Of the Democracy for Presi-
dent, and should receive the support
not only OF the Democratic voters Of
california but Of every State in the
Mr. Clark has led the Democratic
party TO victory in the legislative
branch OF the national government.
He can with equal judgment and abil-
lily lead the party to success in its
ecutive branch OF the government.
Mr.. Clark, in his conduct and con-
troll OF the Democratic majority in The
legislative branch of govern. ~. has
secured for the Democratic party the
commence OF the nation. AS a Dem
the confidence of the country in the
democratic party and perpetuate that
party in power.
Mr.. Clark is not only the ideal can
dldate from the point Of view Of
Democratic policy, but from the point
OF view or Democratic principles.
The Democratic party was founded
as progressive party. To survive IL
must continue as the progressive
party OF the nation. To succeed it
must declare boldly for progressive
principles and must nominate for the
presidency a Democrat whose pro-
gressive sentiments are both sound
and sincere.
The thoughtful Democratic voters
or this country cannot be united in
support OF reactionary whose opin-
ions are opposed TO the progressive
sentiment OF the country. nor can thev
be united in support Of a pretended
progressive who in the past has had
two opinions on every question. and
at present has no opinion on any
question.
The Democratic party can best be
united in this presidential election NV
the man who united il in the success
tul congressional elections, by the
only man who has united il in nearly
a generation.
There is no honor that I would ap-
preclate so much as an honor that
the citizens of my native State might
see mt TO bestow upon me. But the
present situation is too important for
any man to be Influenced by consid-
sideration other than the general
welfare.
therefore repeat my firm Convic-
tl"n that the interests OF all Demo-
Gratis and OF all citizens will best be
served by supporting the Honorable
Champ Clark for President of the
United States.
