Value OF Shade Trees.

The Massachusetts Forestry Assocl-
alton, according to bulletin recently
issued has been trying to determine
the value of shade trees on streets.
The question is asked Of a large nu'
mber of real estate men: "How much,
in your judgment do tullgrown
shade trees along the street improve
the adjoining land for house lots?'
The great majority of the answers
ranged from 10 to 20 per cent fair
average falling between % and Az per
cent Expert tree appraisers. acco-
riding to the bulletin, say that A
shade tree in good condition and well
placed is worth 81 per squar inch OF
cross section measured at breast he'll
ght. At that rate the Forestry Assoc
iation figures that tree one foot In
diamerter is worth Sll3, while tree
two feet in diameter is worth Si52.
Obviously a lot that is supplied with
shade trees is much more valuable
than a lot that is bare, 1t is rather
difficult to make any hard-and-fast rule
of tree value, since this depends lar
gely on the variety, the age and the
condition of the trees. Street trees
differ greatly in these respects and
while some of them may lie OF merely
nominal value there are others the
worth of which scarcely can be esti
mated in dollars-EX

La Toilette s Overthrow.

4 political career OF great promise
at one time came to an end in Wiscon-
sin on Tuesday when, at the Republl-
can primaries, all of Senator LaFollet-
te's candidates were defeated Gaining
fame and power as foe Of bosses, he
became boss himself and persisted as
bosses must
LaFollette has been overprased by
himself and others. Under his leader
shin Wisconsin was relieved OF railroad
rule. To accomplish that end, some
hard lighting was necessary and he
performed his part well. Like many
another contender, however, he carried
personal animosities and ambitions in,
to his conflicts and on the wreck of the
railroad bossism he reared a tyranny
of faction and favortism that has hard
ly had an equal in America.
one of the worst of LaFollette' S
faults was his inability TO admit that a
man iilBhb WIN biihi 'NNi

dangerous and an infamous character
His political enemies were personal
enemies. Censorious insolent, vitup
erative and delamatory, he triumphec
for a time because most of his adver
saries, whether mistaken or not, wers
gentlemen.
How complete LaFollette's over
throw has been is shown by the fac
that his candidate for governor ha
been beaten by standpat stalwart ant

by a prodigal Progressive. 1t was Re

Repeal the Primary

The political wisdom OF hsYins
nomination convention to frame piat
form and select candidates is nlost EN-
phatically confirmed by the late pin
arv election in Wisconsin. on both
sides, Democratic and Republican, only
those candidates for Governor ana
minor offices in the main, were sue
cessful before their respective voters
who came to the ballot box with
nominating convention behind them.
Such of course appeals to the voters
because it clarifies and simpliies mat
tiers and has something definite in It's
appeal to their understanding. WV
Ever since the primary became the
rule of our political action we nave
been without form and void OF sub
stantial good government in WIS
consin. Dozens of states have been mis-
led by the so-called Wisconsin idea,
and, as sure as fate, unless warned IN
time, they will fall into the same grie-
vous mistakes that our people nave
made.
1t is plausible specious theory, dam
gerous to the well being OF the com
mon wealth because it ignores the safe
tn and conservatism of a truly repre-
sentative method of doing things In
a word, it is democracy running away
! with itself into disorder and confusion.
II DESTROYS coherent party action bee
ause it destroys the representative
voice of the people. Under its dom
ination there is no chance for the
voter 10 manifest his opinion upon any
question at issue. 1t is not real Anne
rican democracy which works out Its
problems through the wisdom OF selec-
ted leaders. On the contrary, 1T beco-
mes nothing but form OF confused
| individualism. every man Tor MN
self and the dovil take the hindmost. -
II is under such condition OF affairs
that the scheming demagogue makes
his way. Such men meet much great
er difficulty in securing place and pow
er when they have TO run the gaunt'
let of a nominating convention compo-
sed of the wisest and best citizens in a
party.
The Wisconsin Primary was put
forth by LaFollette under the specious
claim that it was taking nominations
and platforms back to the people, the
true source OF authority. But it has
proved Pandora box out Of which has
come a troop of political ills that have
cost the taxpayers of the state most
sorely. The proposed amendments tl
the Constitution in favor of the Initial
i've, the Referendum, and the Recall
are spawn of the same breed Al,
these schems Of so-called Progressive
ism are born of socialism. They are
destructive of a Republican form o.
government, and are full of bad anC
not good results 49, Jefferson County

that he has had since he had won his
first nomination for governor in the
