wv II can think of no honor that
M VIII be more worthily be-
wv slowed than the testimonial
luncheon which is to be ten
dered DR.. j. T. Rothrock at the Har-
risburg Club on May 4th, at which
time there will be presented to the ex-
State Forestry Commissioner, on be-
half of his friends in the forestry and
conservation movement, a handsome
loving cup. There is not to-day a.
more practical forester than the dis
tinguished Pennsylvanian who is thus
to he honored by those who best IN
derstand and appreciate the important
work which he has accomplished for
his native State.
DIR. Rothrock was preaching and
teaching forestation long before many
of the active conservationists were
born. His life has been devoted to
the cause of conservation and he has
given impulse and intelligent direction
to the movement in Pennsylvania
first as a lecturer at the University of
Pennsylvania and later as the first
State Forestry Commissioner who
placed the department upon a SUBJ
stantial basis.
With increasing years he has been
compelled to retire from some of his
activities as an exponent of the re.
forestation of Pennsylvania, but he is
still deeply interested in the work.
1t is eminently fitting that the pro-
posed testimonial luncheon should be
given In honor of DR.. Rothrock and
the occasion is certain to be one OF
much interest at time when conser-
walton of the natural resources of
Pennsylvania has been given a new
meaning through the intelligent CO.
operation and direction of Governor
John X. Tener, whose administration
will go down in history as one that
was conspicuous for it's constructive
work in this direction.
1t is also a good thing to give honor
while they are yet alive to the men

When will those citizens of Harris
burg who have turned their beautiful
shade trees over to the trimmer" learn
that 1t requires years to produce tree
which can be destroyed by the tree
butcher in few minutes. Harrisburg
has some splendid trees throughout Its
length and breadth and there ought to
be some way of protecting them
against the annual invasion of the
executioner, who travels up and down
with a saw and axe and leaves in his
wake MANNED and unsightIy trunks.

There is more activity within the
ranks of the Republican party at the
present time than has been known for
several years. 1t requires some such
jolt as was given the party two years
ago to arouse the rank and file to the
importance of constructive effort In
support of the principles which have
made the party great. Also, there has
been an injection Of the elixir of good
sense here and there where such treat
ment was sorely needed.
