THE HEART OF THE TREE


(Arbor Day. October 23)
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants the friend of sun and sky;
He plants the flag of breeZes free;
The shaft of, beauty towering high;
He plants home to heaven nigh,
For song and mother-croon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight
heard
The treble of heavens harmony
These things he plants who plants a
tree.
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants cool shade and tender rain,
And seed and bud of days to be,
And years that fade and flush again.
He plants the glory of the plain;
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of coming age;
The joy that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants a
tree.
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants, in sap and leaf and wood,
In love of home and loyalty
And far-cast thought of civic good
His blessings on the neighborhood,
Who in the hollow of His hand
Holds all the growth of all our
A nations growth from sea to sea
Stirs in his heart who plants tree.

THE danger of a Zeppelin raid.
which England is said to fear, is
more imaginary than real. OF
course, it is possible for Ger
many to send a fleet across the chan
mel that might do quite little damage
by fight over Southern England, but
on long voyages the Zeppelins have
generally proved quite as dangerous
TO themselves as they could possibly
be to a foreign foe. Time after time
they have been wrecked with great
loss of life until up to the very opening
of the war there was grave fear
among airmen that the Zeppelin prin-
ciple was all wrong and that the navi-
CATION of the air would have to be
solved by the plane rather than by the
gas balloon. There is not much rea-
son to suppose that the Zeppelin of
to-day is more effective than that of a
few months ago. The idea is still in
its experimental stage despite the fact
that Paris, Antwerp and other cities
have been "raided."
After all is said and done, all that
has been accomplished by these air.
ships has been the destruction of pri-
vate property and the killing of a few
old men. women and children. This
is not warfare and it will have no
effect in deciding the conflict The
Zeppelins may sail over London and
smash few buildings and slay few
unarmed noncombatants, but aside
from the vainglory attached to such
an exploit there is very little profit to
Germany in such an enterprise.
England would do we'll to think
more of the German submarine than
of the vague terror of the air that may
never mateFialize

served as Arbor Day throughout
= PENNSYLVANIA. That is this date
has been set aside for that pur-
pose, and in sundry schools and in
stitutions the afternoon will be given
over TO programs suggested by the
State Department OF Public Instruc-
tion-and a few trees will be planted.
Arbor Day is not taken as seriously
as il should be. We talk much OF
the conservation of our forests and
outside Of very limited radius of
official and private effort we do little.
The child of to-day is not made TO
realize the Importance of tree plant
ing. II is a question il We as a people
pay as much attention to the matter
of tree. propagation as did our an
cestors at a time when the need was
not so great.
Almost every one of the old houses
we admire so much as we ride over
the countryside or through the towns
that think too much of breathing
space to crowd their houses is sur
rounded by trees planted there by the
builder. Years must pass before the
sapling becomes the shade tree. The
child of to-day will not see the tree
he plants come to full maturity. He
is planting for the future, fulfilling the
destiny of helping to make the earth
a pleasanter place for his posterity, of
knew and loved.
There appeared recently in Life a
picture that ought to be framed and
hung in every real estate office in the
land. 1t was entitled Real Estate,
Unimproved and Improved" Under
the head of "Unirnproved" appeared
an etching of the forest primeval, with
its majestic trees. wealth of shrubbery
and purling streams. on the other
side, under the caption Improved"
stood the same lanscape, denuded of
trees and laid out in streets. hideous
in their baroness and regularity. Laid
out is favorite phrase of the real
estate developer and it is particularly
apt in this case. for about all that had
been left Of what might have made a
very beautiful suburb was a mangled
corpse.
Arbor Day ought to be a time for
tree preservation as we'll as of tree
planting. For instance. the City Plan
ming Commission might make a ruling
to forbid the cutting of trees on any
tract within its jurisdiction and in
tended for real estate development
without the express permission of the
commission. That would be a step in
the right direction. for It is a notorious
fact that engineers in running street
lines and plotting for building pur-
poses every year ruin thousands of
trees that might easily be preserved to
beautify the landscape. A remark
able example of tree preservation by
intelligent engineering is to be found
in Bellevue Park.
The City Council might also ioin in
the celebration by passing a shade tree
commission ordinance and appointing
a shade tree commission for the care
of trees in Harrisburg. There is room
for all of US to join in the observance
of Arbor Day this Fall. What a
beautiful place would Harrisburg be
twenty-five years hence if every year
every man, woman and child in the
city would plant just one tree or
shrub!

WILSON AND PALMER

~ IsPATCHES from WASHINGTON
to-day are to the effect that
IL President Wilson will issue a
letter shortly endorsing Con-
gresham Palmer for the United States
Senate.
OF course he will. Palmer is his
own hand-picked candidate. The
Democratic ticket for Pennsylvania
was named at a conference in the
White House weeks before the popular
primaries in Pennsylvania. The news
papers announced that the conference
was to be held for the purpose of
selecting a ticket. The representa-
tives awaited the result outside the
Presidents office and in the newspa-

Harrisburgers recall with interest the
splendid tribute paid to Mr.. Knox by
Roosevelt at the dedication of the new
Capitol. At that ceremony the Presi-
dent was the orator of the day and his
address was filled with illusions to the
work of the man who had been his
Attorney General. Mr.. Knox is also
the one man the Democrats have
hoped to keep out of the campaign
because of his knowledge of the futile
policies of Wilson in many matters.
