ARBoR DAY.

In the setting aside of Friday of this week to be observed as Arbor and Bird day, Governor Baldwin has taken proper recognition of the inn portant part which the children can and ought to take in the carrying out of the purposes for which it is desig- mated When he directs that the teach CTS make it the occasion of explain ing to their classes why the anni- Versary has been constituted and what it means, he puts into action the greatest forces for strengthening the interest in the growth and protection of both the trees and the birds, two of natures gifts which add materially to every day life
 For two decades the day has been observed and it serves to enlist the sympathetic support and interest which otherwise might be neglected Trees form an important part of the Identification of any community and the inreads of pests and age are con- stant1y causing their removal. Many are the streets of this city which have been deprived of much of their beauty through the cutting down of trees, and also there are those which have been greatly improved by the addition of trees. Wherever 1t is found necessary to remove a tree, for whatever pur- pose, no better effort could be attempt ed than the replacing of it with an other or the planting of one some where to make up for each that is re- moved Shrubs and Towering bushes likewise perform an important part in Identification and all are included within the aim of Arbor day.

scHOoLHoUsE FIRES.

It isn't necessary to have attention called to the danger of fires in school houses as it is readily recognized that a sehooIhouse is public institution in which the greatest effort for pre- vention should be exerted, but when Insurance Engineering shows that
 scheel building fires average one a
 day; and reach q total yearly loss of
 three million dollars. it is apparent
 that every effort that is possible has not been made to guard the property
 er te protect the lives of the pupils
 Large loss of life in different in
 stances has resulted in building tions which improve the chances of the pupils escaping but much attention can be devoted to prevention of fire. and directed towards the point. where 1t invariably starts or is most likely to start It is in the prevention that the greatest safeguard is to be found. and with the assertion that there are 250, 900 schoolhouses. in the country built to burn, 1t is evident that there are plenty of outlets for ambition in the effort to conserve life and prop erty The making safe of every feat ure connected with the heating appar- atus of schoolhouses is bound to se- cure a reduction in that class of fires and there is no better place to use the ounce of prevention. This with the overcoming of carelessness in the use of conabustibles would accomplish ap- preciable results, even though many school structures are architectural monstrosities

ELEVATOR DANGERS.

Elevators and elevator shafts have since their general adoption been a source of danger for those using them. Constant improvement is being made and legislation to overcome many Of the periIs has been enacted, while special ordinances have been passed for promoting safety as much as pos sibie in this method of quick convey ance> Notwithstanding the great ben efts from what has been done to ameliorate the mechanical defects of the elevator, it has not been possible te overcome entirely the carelessness of the operators though all kinds of safety devices have been arranged and additional duties required of the e1e- vator man. Carelessness is account able for accidents in every line of service and the finding of the jury which investigated the death of Jus tice Bischoff of New York who plung- ed dozen stories to his death upon alighting from an elevator, is that of ordinary negligence.
 Endeavor to make haste in the mad rush from one floor to another, the operator failed to comply with the detail which would have prevented the accident and death. It is another instance where the desire for speed and carelessness in the face of danger has added to the already large toll Legislation has not done all it can As on the railroads there must be sought and required an automatic de- vice which will prevent the operation of trains past signals or faster than the rules allow. so must safety meas ures be applied to the elevator to re- Quire the observance of safety pro visions

RALLooN4Ne OVER THE OCEAN.

Aeronautics have held the center of <he stage for some time, but there cannot be other than the deepest in terest in the renewal of the effort to cross the Atlantic in the air which is to be attempted this month by Joseph Brucker. a representative of the Aero club of France He is not seeking to benefit by the offer of Lord Northcliffe to give s5D. 0Ga to the first to accom- pfish the feat by aeroplane, for he has determined on a dirfgfble balloon to accomplish the I0ng flight which from the fact that our own W'eIlman has disappointed his admirers by his eff forts to accomplish il by that means gives added interest.
 France may win this coveted honor. for as the Kansas City Journal says; 'FTenchmen are daring and sincere sportsmen- Although the heavier than-afr flying machine was invented in America by an American. it was in France that the art of aviation has reached it's highest development Ger many has. been foremost in building dfrtgibIe balloons, but in France this kind of air craft has been made to do more sensational feats than was ever dreamed of in the F7atherfand. Therefore it would not he surprising that after aviatrrs of other nations have faA1ed to fly across the Atlantic the daring and skillful Frenchmen should achieve the feat Success seems to be the logical and legitimate right of the Frenchrnan who is now wait ing at Las Pa1Hlas to risk his life in this thrilling aerial adventure

PRESIDENTIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

The return of the sundry civil bill to congress, containing as it does ap- propFiations for a large total for the conduct of the eountry'S business. as well as the objectionable presence of the rider which caused it's veto in the last administration. promises to ob- tain for President Wilson much crit icism if he adheres to his opinion fla voring the rider and his announced intention to sanction such action in congress, The practice of attaching riders to important appropriation bills needs to be discouraged and it is the veto, apparently, which will accom- Tlish it, but the determination to ig nore the action of President Taft dur ing the closing hours of the sixty sec ond congress is liable to lead to com lex situations in the future
 On the grounds that it was class legislation and rank injustice that la Dor unions and farmers organizations should be exempted from prosecution under the fund provided for such purpose for violations of the Sherman antitrust law President Taft did not hesitate to express his disa pproval. Though the contention of the demo- crats is that it will last only for year and must be passed every year if continued in that form, it neverthe- less sets an example for others to fol- low, and future action would have basis therefrom. It is with surprise that President Wilson has taken the view he has of the particular portion of the sundry bill and it is to be hoped that he will see the error of his way before he gives it his sig ma ture. Any such legislation should be passed on it's merits and not in connection with necessary appropria- tions.
