APRIL 26 ARBOR DAY

Governor Hawley has issued {
proclamation setting April 26, 1912
as Arbor Day, to be observed in the
S ate of Idaho, through the planting
of trees and for general recognition
on the part of the people and partic-
ularly the schools. The proclamation
is as follows:
No more beautiful thought has
been crystalized into action than the
0 servance of day by the people OF
the various states of the American
union as dedicated to the trees and
birds. Hon. J. Sterling Morton, a
distinguished citizen of the state OF
Nebraska during his lifetime, was the
originator of Arbor Day and through
it millions of trees have been planted
in that formerly treeless state, add
ing much to the beauty, resources
and healthfulness of the common
wealth. From Nebraska the idea
has spread into practically every
state in the union and the legisla-
tive assembly of the state of Idaho
has authorized the various county
superintendents to designate day in
the month of April as Arbor Day.
"At the suggestion of the state SUI
perintendent of public instruction
would recommend the universal Sc
lection of Friday, April 26, 1912, as
Arbor Day, subject of course to the
convenience of the county 'superin-
tendents and will designate that day
or the day chosen by the county su-
perintendents in any county as a day
in which exercises shall be held in
the public schools of the state suit
able to the OCCASION and would urge
upon all our people a hearty cooper
alton in the exercises and the spirit
thereof.
"In testimony whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the state of
Idaho. Done at Boise, Idaho, this
twelfth day of March, in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and twelve.
JAMES H. HAWLEY,
Governor.

declaiming and this goes to all forms
of association. And SO 1t is not
enough to send boy or girl to the
best schools. What are the associa-
tions In and out of school? What
the character training? To the
poor Welsh people In their native
country singing is a saving grace. The
love of 1t and the art of it are in
corporated into their very beings,
through generations of practice.
A man has just returned from dis
covering the South Pole. He but fol-
lowed an instinct in going there;
whence came that instinct? We do
not know, but presume it has come
down from the men who sailed icy
seas long before Iceland was discov-
cred. In that land mothers have
dreamed of their sailor husbands off
on the waste of waves for so many
centuries that now the first impulse
of the boys is to sail a boat, and we
suspect this last discoverer followed
an instinct which has been dominant
in his race for thousand years. No
man has right to fret his life away.
The world needs all that is good in
him, and no one knows but some
child is watching him and that the
child's character is being formed by
what it sees.
We have some most excellent
schools here, but could the students
in them be led into a higher sphere
and seeing the splendor of higher
culture be enlisted to do their best,
the schools would be more excellent,
at least the students would insensibly
be led into aspiring to higher achieve
ments, for we are simply what by our
and efforts we are made
to be.

AN UNUSUAL ENDOWMENT.

DR. Max Pamm, the Hebrew lawyer
OF Chicago. has Just endowed Eve
fellOWships in the Roman Catholic
university at Washington. Dr. Pamm
accompanies his gift with a letter 10
Cardinal Gibbons. in which he ex.
presses the desire that the students
possessing these fellowships be made
special students Of sociology and
economies.
u is a remarkable evidence OF the
advance we have made in religion
that an American Jew should be the
donor Of the fellowshlps IN a Roman
Catholic university. The world has
advanced since the time whom perse-
cution Of the Jews was considered a
Christian virtue. and. on the other
hand. greater freedom Of action and

ANOTHER ROOSEVELT DEFEAT.

The consistent action OF the Repub-

mittee, was maintained yesterday
after an all day struggle on the part
of the adherents of Roosevelt 10. Dust

President. The hours OF the struggle
were stormy and bitter with crimina.
ton and recrimination, but Chairman
Root was able L hold the convention
down at critical periods OF the pro-
ceedings. The vote was uncom-
fortably close. the Roosevelt motion
being defeated SEA to $40.
This Is not a final settlement Of the
contested seats. as the fight is now
transferred to the committee on ere.
dentials. which is the proper tribunal
for the disposition OF the matters in
controversy. This committee was APP
pointed just before the adjournment
OF the convention last evening until
noon Today. The complexion OF that
committee is supposed "a be 2S for
Taft and 25 for Roosevelt. but this
accounting OF noses is no indication
that the members will exercise their
duties in solving the difficulty in a
blindly partisan manner. Again. the
committees report may be a divided
one. in which case the turmoil Of the
past two days will be repeated on the
floor OF the convention. The atmos.
phere. therefore, is not cleared TO any
appreciate extent. and the outcome
is as nebulous as IL was on the eve
OF the converting Of the convention.

proceedings In a more orderly and
harmonious manner.
That is the present prospect, but
II is believed that before the gaVel
falls on the first session OF the con
vention there may be developments
OF a disappointing character. 1t may
be mere conjecture. but the outlook
is too inehably pleasant for q political
gathering OF traditional unrest and
obstinacy. The signs that point TO
runling the calm surface is the un-
dercurrent being manifested in GER
tain quarters OF dissatisfaction with
the leading candidates. And then that
old disturber OF Democratic equanim-
lily. Mr.. Bryan, who Is just now getting
some new inspiration for strenuous
action at Chicago. will come to Balti-
more as a delegate seasoned and re-
equipped for a strangle hold on any.
thing that may not be TO his way OF
thinking. A professed friend OF the
two leading candidates, he will be in
a queer position OF ~preferring one.
but being instructed to vote for the
other. This Is the sort OF harness
that Mr.. Bryan has been unaccus-
toned to. and II subjected TO undue
chatting he is liable TO Jump out OF
the traces. And sinEularly enough. #
appears that the %oftener this man is
rejected by the people the stronger
he grows with the masses of Democ-
racy. Even inactive. he will be a
dangerous element TO any pre-ar-
ranged program mapped out for the
convention body. The stampeding
power OF the thrice defeated" lies in
the prospect OF a deadlock.
That situation is not imaginative.
Owing to the cumbersome two-thlrds
rule that prevails. no candidate has
even a mere majority in sight. Clark.
who leads. is far short Of the required
number. Even with the delegates ac-
credited to him and ~undisputed. and
the 207 delegates unpledged TO any
candidate. he will stil be shy over 100
votes OF the two-thirds necessary 70
a nomination. Wilson. OF course. IS
worse on with Underwood. Harmon.
Marshall. Baldwin and Burke trailing
hopelessly behind.
Just now a star Is rising in the
east, which is likely to hover over
baltimore with dazzling briliancy
should the deadlock become too dead
~ and p~rotratted, n that is the
tentative candidacy Of Mayor Gaynor.
OF New York. The publication OF a
syndicate story describing Mayor Cav.
nor's happy home life and his rural
tastes in a number of Democratic
papers last Sunday IS hardly a coin
cidence with the near approach OF the
Baltimore convention, but rather sig
niicant OF the boom that has been
launched for him in the past few DAYS
in the Monumental city. Right a. this
point comes the difficulty. Would Mr..
Bryan agree to the nomination Of Mr..
Gaynor? II he is not acceptable TO
he magnetic Nebraskan he will not
be chosen. and then. II the sessions
OF the convention are prolonged. look
IA for the lightning again striking
Bryan. for which he is still a con.
spicuous and attractive object.
