Probably some Of our readers
gathered from the last issue Of
the Review that the new SEN
ators and representatives from
Thu, state were sworn in on
Thursday of last week. Such is
not the ease. The new members
can be sworn i'm only ON the first
day of the session following the
end of the o'd congress. Ii
special session is called they
wild be required to take oath of
office on the first day of the
special session: if no s,R4h session
is called they will be sworn in
when congress convenes for reg,i-
lar session i'm December next.
Although not actusslly sworn in
and not therefore qualified to
perform amy official act, it in
understood that the new con-
ercssiOnal members are actually
officials. so far as the payroll is
concerned. at any rate.

TREES A TANGIBLE ASSET
Municipality That Desires Growth
Cannot Afford to Do Without
Its Street Ornaments.

Even II a town or city cannot realize
readily on the money value in its
shade trees, cannot ever issue bonds
against them, Is it might upon its wa
ter supply, they are nevertheless a
tangible asset to the municipality. The
testimony of the real estate men
proves that without the necessity OF
further argument. In a less definite
way the value of highway trees has
been appreciated in this state for at
least one hundred years, in proof of
which are the superb old trees still
standing along many a village street,
and still further evidence of an ever
increasing appreciation of their impor-
lance is found in a study of the stat
utes enacted from time to time to en-
courage roadside planting and to pro-
tect the trees from willful injury. But
every now and again it becomes neces-
sary to call public attention to the
trees, lest they be forgotten in the
hurly-burly of modern life. Our fore
fathers were able to stick a tree in
the ground and let nature do the rest.
Those times have passed. A hard
lot has fallen to the trees, what with
imported bugs" of assorted shapes
and sizes to prey their life blood, and
with man pushing his ingenious i'm
proved pavings and DRAWINGS around
their feet, and his chatting and burning
wires through their tops. Happily
those trees that our ~forbears planted
were mostly possessed of good old
fashioned New England constitutions,
and able to Withstand a lot of abuse,
but we may not neglect them with i'm
punity today. They need friends now
as never before.-Allen Chamberlain
in the Boston Transcript.

STATE OR PRIVATE BUSINESS
Two Ways of Looking at Necessary
Refreshing Of Waste Lands of
a Community.

There surely ought to be a better
way of reforesting the waste lands of
Michigan than the n just proposed
furnishing the young trees free and
paying the owner of the land a bonus
for planting them. If tree planting
is a paying operation, why should the
state pay individuals for going into
the business? If !. is not, II the trees
are to be planted for the effect they
will have on the climate and for the
good they will do to the state at
large, a bonus for tree planting will
not serve the purpose. The owner
of the and will have no inducement to
bring the trees to maturity If that
means an expenditure Of money and
pains. If the bonus is big enough to
tempt him to plant trees, and there
is no further inducement to care for
them, he will leave them to take their
chances, and most of the money will
be thrown away. AS a matter Of fact.
tree planting has been proved to be
a most lucrative business, but not for
the individual, for the mar who plants
rarely lives to reap the harvest. Con-
%sequently, few men care to go In for 1t.
1t is a business that should be under
taken by the state, which lives for
aver and will itself reap what profits
there may be.-Detroit Journal.

First Enallsh Paper.

Gu March IL, 1902. appeared the
first British daily paper. Its title was
the Daily Courant, and its publisher
was e. Mallet, against the Ditch at
Fleet Bridge" But our daily papers
have altered in the two succeeding
centuries. The Courant was a single
sheet of but two columns. 1t pub
lished foreign news only, and was in
nocent of any editorial matter. the
reason being that the editor-publisher
supposed "other people to have sense
enough to make reflections for them
selves" And it will cause no sur
prise that such an editor soon gave
up his job, sold his paper, and that
its very site is now buried beneath
the Times.

Good Year for Oil Companies.

Not for many years have the Scotch
oil companies experienced such a
brisk demand or as good prices for
all their products as at the present
time. All classes of oil, sulphate of
ammonia, and parafin wax are being
dispatched Immediately they are man
ufactured, and there are no stocks on
hand. Another feature is the large
amount of fuel oil being sold at a
very remunerative price to the Scotch
companies. Formerly this oil was
something in the nature of a drug in
the market, but it is now a valuable
product.

He loved Virginia Leighton-she
might not have guessed it, nor others

madeline bones of it. Miss Leighton
laughed at the ~pretentions of the noisy
young man. She was ever indulgent
TO Frank, but he attributed this to
her liking for his sister, Kitty.

1t is a solemn thought that every

Buggy as Useful as Ever.

1t appears now that the automobile
hasn't ever put a crimp in the buggy
business. Statistics show that the bug
gy sales in this country last year broke
all previous records and reached the
rather staggering total of 1900, 900.
However, this is not so strange as it
appears at a glance. There are Just as
many young fellows and girls to do
their counting nowadays as ever be-
fore; more, in fact. And you can't
