IN HONOR OF AN ABSENT STATESMAN

I territory in the Western Hemisphere
by Old World Powers, but also to the
regulation of such troubles in or be-
tween the American commemorative
as might afford a reason or a pretext
for European Intervention.
Who can doubt that the proposal
from Brazil, Chile and the Argentine
is largely due, if not entirely due, to
Secretary Roots journey during the
Roosevelt Administration and to Col
onel RooSevelt's recent presentation to
the Southern republics of the corol-
larry of joint and equal responsibility?
In Colonel Roosevelt's letter in the
current number of the Outlook we find
general expression Of his attitude
on the subject of peace and war. 1t is
well worth reprinting:
II very earnestly believe in peace.
abhor unjust war. | abhor and de-
spise all men who lightly or wantonly
do deeds that leopard peace. l be-
lieve that ways can be found which
gradually, as nations grow more civil
lied, more on an equality of good con-
duct and right living. will permit of
the substitution of other methods than
those of war for the settlement Of in
ternational disputes. But in this in
ternational body polite, as in every
other body, natural or artificial, it is
as foolish to attempt to draw into
, existence function before there is an
organ through which 1t can act as to
create an organ before the function
itself can be exercised The
peace of Righteousness is noble ideal.
and as yet 1t can be obtained in the
world at large only IL the righteous are
able to defend their rights. The free
and peace loving nations, in the pres
ent state of the worlds progress, can
pursue the blessings of peace and
righteousness only as long as they are
both able and willing, if necessity
should demand it, to use their poten-
tial strength against wrongdoers"
Honor, we say, to the patriotic and
energetic North American who has
done so much to spread in South
America these sane and admirable
doctrines!

[From the New York sunl

1t must be quite we'll known that
The Sun has never hesitated (and in
tends never to hesitate) to speak
plainly about Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt when in our judgment his ideas
are pernicious or his acts deserve re-
buke. This circumstance makes it all
the more a duty and likewise all the
more a pleasure to give him full credit
for recent service of the first i'm
portance to the country and to the
cause of peace in the Western Hem
isphere.
The plan of mediation between the
United States and Mexico by the three
largest republics of South America
may or may not avert war. Whatever
the result the experiment will count
tremendously for good. The very pro-
posal marks an epoch in the develop
ment of the Monroe Doctrine.
The one distinct message which
Colonel Roosevelt carried to South
America was variously expressed by
him in his address to the people of
Brazil, of the Argentine and of Chile;
and it made profound impression
wherever it was delivered. This is its
substances:
''As soon as any country of the New
World stands on a sufficiently high
lOOllHB VI OTueTly liberty anu aCnleNeu
justice, of self-respecting strength, il
becomes a guarantor of the Monroe
Doctrine"
''It is to be invoked only in the in
terests of all our commemorative of
the Western Hemisphere"
1T should be invoked by all our ma
tions on a footing of complete equality
of both right and obligation"
''It is a doctrine which the United
States promulgated. but as rapidly as
any other American republic grows to
possess the stability, the prosperity
that comes with stability the self-re-
specting insistence upon doing right
to others and exacting right from
others, just so rapidly that country be-
comes itself a sponsor and guarantor
of the Monroe Doctrine"
'If 1t ever becomes vitally necessary
to enforce it, each would help the
Others"
This fine, reasonable and desira BILE
extension of the Monroe Doctrine,
preached by an eX-President of the
United States during his travels in
South America, applies of course not
only to direct attempts at conquest of

THE TREE BUTCHER

I-HE TELEGRAPH is in receipt
of communication from one
i who evidently feels that his
work as tree trimmer"
lr lTht not be appreciated by the pro-
posed city shade tree commission. The
letter is unsigned, but in it appears
this striking sentence:
What right has anybody to say
that a property owner shall not
trim a tree down to its trunk If he
wants to, would like to know
since It is his property even though
1t does grow in the street.
This is an argument that has been
raised repeatedly during the periodical
discussion of the advisability of a
shade tree commission for Harris
burg, The answer is plain. Nobody
has any right to do anything that
will damage his own property when
by so doing he mars the beauty of
the city or interferes with the enjoy
ment of others. And that is exactly
what any property owner does who
permits the tree butcher" to perform
major surgical operations on the trees
that by their location along the curb
belong in measure to everybody.
What is tree butcher, anyhow"
asks the. same correspondent. AS a
rule he is a day laborer equipped with
a saw and a trimmer. He knows moth
ing about trees or their growth and
does his mangling thoroughly in or
der to put in time and give his patron
the impression that he has got the
worth of his money. The more he
saws off a tree the longer he takes and
the more money he makes. He can
! undo in two hours the steady growth
| of a dozen years He can leave more
mangled trees in his course of ii days
ranging about the city streets than
nature in her most industrious mood
could restore in a hundred years. His
butchery is apparent in every part of
Harrisburg and something ought to be
done to stop him.
| AS well let a carpenter with ham
mer and saw set to work tuning the
piano as to turn an inexperienced
trimmer" to work on your tree.

OUR DUTCH FARMERS

Our Pennsylvania Dutch are good
farmers but not so good as their rela-
tives in Germany. For every bushel of
wheat Pennsylvania farmer produces
from one acre, the German grows two
and a tenth bushels.
His farm is small, but the man who
delves beyond the Rhine makes each
acre produce exactly twice as many
potatoes as do our farmers.
The man who bows. to a Kaiser in
stead of President extracts just half
more oats and over third more barley
and about go per cent. more rye from
each acre than does the improvdent
American.
The man who has but dollar can
live for a long time on 1t. whereas the
prodiga1 can waste a $40 bill on one
dinner. The German has so little
ground that he makes 1T work doubly
hard.
When the United States has 10000
900 population our farm production per
acre will likely have doubled from sheer
necessity ty.--"Girard" in Philadelphia

that the political regeneration of Ger
many and the establishment of its
military power, which guaranteed
liberty and freedom, laid the founda-
tions for the unfolding of the nations
economic power.
Perhaps the most striking feature
OF this study of Germanys prosperity
and growth is that which deals with
the organization of business and the
freedom that has been secured for all
classes of commercial and industrial
undertakings. While the government
of the United States has been hamper
ing and retarding by system of in
quisitorial laws and restrictions the
harassed business of this country, the
business interests of Germany have
been encouraged by governmental
friendliness instead of governmental
waste is guarded against as a
fundamental policy of the German
people. and they aim at removing, so
far as possible, conflicts and losses
which must necessarily result from an
unplanned and disordered working of
one against another" They seek to
unite all interests and intellgently Sc
cure for them the maximum of eco
nomic success.
In Germany, as in the United States,
there has been a gradual shifting of
the population from agriculture to
manufacturing and commerce-from
the country to the cities.
1t is impossible to read this careful
analytical study of the progress of the
German people without being deeply
impressed with the fact that we have
much to learn with respect to a proper
appreciation of the development in
our own country that has come about
through the genius and energy and
vision of the giants of finance, industry
and commerce who are now being
bound hand and foot by the little men
who happen to have climbed into high
places.

GERMANY AND UNITED STATES

ERMAN economic progress and
national wealth have been
the subjects of discussion dur
ing the last year in practically
every society having to do with the
industrial and commercial develop
ment of our own country. The Ger
manistic Society of America, in fur
therance of its purpose to promote in
this country wider and more accu-
rate knowledge of the German people,
has taken the opportunity of making
accessible to American readers in an
English version work by DR.. Karl
Helfferich on the development that
has taken place in the economic con-
ditions of Germany in the last twenty
live years. 1t is the complementary'
part of a larger work issued at the time
of the celebration held by Germans
throughout the world to commemorate
the peaceful and prosperous reign of
the present German Emperor.
Even glance through this impor-
tant treatise shows the great under
lying principles of Germany's prosper
lty and progress. They are so radically
different in many respects from our
own country's attitude with relation
to business that it is difficult to un-
derstand how a practical people like
those of the United States should have
gone so far afield in the working ont
of theories that are so contrary to the
proved policies of a nation like Ger
many, which has developed along all
lines.
Perhaps the most striking sentence
In the introduction of the work. es-
pecially in view of the present position
of the Administration at Washington
on the enlargement of the navy. is
this statement:
The imposing bulwark of our
army. to which our Emperor has
added mighty navy, has insured
for us more than forty Years of
peace, and has given protection and
encouragement to the German, not
only at home. but wherever he
might settle in any part OF the
world. Thus enjoying the protec-
tion OF peace and working with un-
resting, unfiagging energy of head
and hand, the German people have
made up for the centuries lost in
impotence and self-destruction;
they have broadened all the condi-
tions of their life from con
tracted narrowness to an undreamt-
of expansion, and all things consid-
cred, they have achieved an ad-
vsncement such as, compressed
within so brief time, the history
of nations can hardly parallel

the tremendous development of Ger.
many understand that political evoIu-
ton has been followed by period OF

THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 80
A FRAGRANT MEMORY

ONE years have elapsed since the
late Sara J. .Haldeman-H Haly passed
- out of this life, but her memory
grows greener and more fragrant.
If possible, with the passing of time.
This by reason of the fact that she
made possible the fine public library
that is doing a service in this COM
munity the extent of which even this
good woman could not have foreseen.
Thousands of people many of them
girls and boys, are using the library
from day to day and it's value as a
public institution is becoming more
and more apparent.
Such a legacy as that which Mrs.
I4aly left to Harrisburg is a more
conspicuous and enduring monument
than any shaft of granite or sculp-
tured bronze. Her memory is en-
shrined in the hearts of children and
as these grow to manhood and woman
hood their children will also learn to
respect the memory of the one who
looked beyond her own day and gen.
Grafton into the future Years, proVid-
Ing out of her abundant means for the
education and happiness of thousands
yet unborn and making it possible for
scores and hundreds of poor girls and
boys to enrich their minds with the
best in literature.
We of the present day owe a debt of
gratitude to those of the past and we
fall short of our obligations to the
future when we fail to provide for
those to come after us the means for
betterment of the race through edu-
ration. attractive environment and the
other features of modern civilization.
