ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN

Rotten SerVice.-If Mayor Harri-
son wants to get line on what the
PEOPLE of Chicago really need let
him spend an hour on Madison street
some evening from the Northwestern
station to Racine avenue.
He will see crowds of people stand
ing at the corners waiting for a
chance to get on car going west,
and sometimes four or five crowded
cars passing corner without stop
ping men, women and children
waiting, waiting, waiting for chance
to get home.
The service is scientific from
street railway standpoint. The peo-
pie are packed in like sardines. Front
and rear platforms are crowded to
the last inch of standing room and
every inch of space in the car is
packed with suffering humanity.
1 walked from Halsted street on
Madison to the Northwestern station
to get car going west one evening
this week-about 5 o'clock. What
was done to human being in the way
of packing and crowding wouldn't
be permitted in cattle cars. But it
makes money for the street railway
magnates- ride to and from the
loop in automobiles.
would like to see all automobiles
kept out of the loop for week, so
that street railway owners and man
ayers and mayors and newspaper
publishers would have to use the
street railways and thus find out for
themselves what the people of Chica-
go who don't own automobiles have
to submit to.
Other lines are just as bad. cite
the Madison street line because of
what l saw on this one occasion.
And wondered at the marvellous
patience, good humor and philosoph- |
ical submissiVeness of the people. |

Downtown Subways.-The people
will do well to keep an eye on that
traction fund. The owners of street
railway bonds and stocks very like
ly get nervous when they see that city
fund gradually climbing at the rate
of several millions year. Doubt
less they would like to see the money
spent so that it won't go on increas-
ing like the Marshall Field fortune,
which is invested and re-invested
for accumulation"
If the money can be sunk into loop
sQbways that won't be worth a darn
to the city but can be used by the
street railways to increase the con-
gestion in the loop, that will be fine
business for the loop; and may help
ward off the day of municipal own
ership.
Any subway scheme the loop news
papers advocate will doubtless be sat
isfactory both to the street railway
interests and to the State street
stores, for the subways will have en-
frances, no doubt, to Marshall Fields
store and the stores of other big adj
Vertisers.
Chicago should not start in on any
subway program until the city is
ready to construct subways for all Of
the people of Chicago and go through
with the program once it is started.
Citizens can regard with suspicion
any subway scheme that is fathered
in the loop.

They seem to have forgotten that the
streets of Chicago belong to the peo-
pie and not to insult, Busby and the
heirs of old Marshall Field.
Street railway service in Chicago is
rotten. 1t is disgraceful. That Chi
cago 81 WHIP stuff makes me laugh.
The cattle, sheep and hogs at the
stockyards get more human treat
ment than the men. women and chill
dren who really make Chicago. What
l can't understand is why they stand
for it.

HOW NATURE pRunEs.

Shade is Natures pruning knife,
Each tree wants to expose to the air
and light just as much leaf surface as
possible. Because of crewding only
the upward branches can develop
freely. The lower branches, because
of shading. fail to perform their func-
ton, SO Nature gets rid of them. She
does this In the following manner:
When the lower limbs become shaded
many of them die. The trunk of the
tree in time entirely frees itself OF the
limb When the branch dies the an
nual layer of wood continues to be
formed around the limb. This ulti.
mately forms a collar which SO tightly
grips the dead limb that in time the
wind either breaks it OFF or It falls of
its own weight. After a while, IL all
goes well, the hole closes over, and no
exterior evidence of the limb remains.
Orehardists and foresters aid Nature
in speedily healing the wound by cut
ting off the limb just as close to the
trunk as possible. The longer the
stub that Is left the longer 1t will take
to heal, and the more chances there
will be for decay to get foothold. II
a stub is left 1t must die, for there are
no twigs with leaves on them to pull
up the plant food.

TREES HAVE HUMAN TRAITS
They Possess Some Of the Same Char
aeteristies That Belong to
People.

Trees have the power of suggesting
thoughts and feelings. These thoughts
and feelings are attributes of people.
In other words, trees are sometimes
thought of as being possessed of some
Of the same characteristics that belong
to people. The oak tree, because OF its
size and shape Of limbs, suggests
strength. The elm tree symbolizes
grace and beauty. The birch is some
times called the Lady OF the Forest"
Some trees are weeping, some gay,
some quiet and retiring. Some, such
as the sycamore, are ghostlike others,
like the honey locust, because Of the
great array of thorns, appear warlike.
The Lombardy poplar, which grows so
tall, suggests precision. One of these

Trees furnish safe shelter and
natural resting places for birds. Birds
are the best allies we have in fighting
insects, but the removal of the forests
has greatly lessened the number of in

products, such as fruits, nuts, sugar.

goes much farther. 1t underlies the
great questions of soil preservation
and soil fertility; the use and control
of rivers and streams; the water sup

on trees. There is no crime against
nature that draws down a more certain
