LET US PLANT TREES

State Commissioner of Forestry
Pennsylvania owes much to this dis.

DIR. Rothrock favors the reforesta. a.

which cannot be utilized for agricuI-

hardly be questioned by anyone, that
trees are infinitely better than waste

are said to be 100000 acres of use
less areas in Pennsylvania that might
be utilized in the growing of trees that
would produce timber and conserve the
water supply in all parts Of the Conn

A KING UPON THE WING
ILouIsVIIIe Courier-Journal. !

King Peter fleeing in rattletrap au-

continuing his flight in q farm wagon,
IS a picturesque and pitiful figure of
the Serbian debacle. But he was born
an adventurer. has lived as an adven-
turer and deserves as little sympathy
as any cutthroat who ever wore the
purple in a petty European State.
Peter eorgevitch-"Peter the
Grandson of Black George" is the
meaning of the name-is one sovereign
concerned in the war who is not a
member of either of the several royal
families which have become Virtually
one through intermarriage and who
mold the thrones of the great Euro
pean countries. One of the bloodiest
boldest, most ruffianly double murders
OF history cleared the way n dozen
years ago for Peters ascension to the
throne at Belgrade. He was waiting
at Geneva when the officers of the
serbian army who had communicated
with MIN to ascertain whether he was
ready to accept the crown at once if
they should call him went into the
palace and emptied their revolvers
upon King Alexander and Queen
Draga. Not content with murder, they
slashed the body of the queen with
their sabers until twas sunrecognizable,
and then threw both of the corpses out
of a window into that garden below.
Peter kept his appointment The blood
upon the floor of the royal apartments
had hardly been washed away before
ne was posting to Belgrade to assume
the place of the victims.

describes a monument, it is this unset
fish and modest naturalist who
has given unselflshly the years
of long and useful life to
the betterment of his native heath.
Fortunately for Pennsylvania, others
have followed in the footsteps of DIR.
Rothrock and the splendid department
which he has created in the State gov
ernment is to-day doing a wonderful
work under men trained by the first
Commissioner OF Forestry.
But 1t is not enough that the thou
sands of acres of waste lands be util-
lied in the growing of trees. There
are spaces in every city like Har-
risburg-along the sidewalks, in va
cant lots and elsewhere-which pro-
vide ideal places for the setting out
of the proper kind of trees This Fall
hundreds of trees have been planted
in this city; thousands more should
be planted before the snow flies
Doubtless City Forester Mueller could
give a more or less correct estimate
of the number of trees that might be
planted to the advantage of the COM
munity. Many of the old trees in the
parks have reached their full develop
ment and are now in their decadence
City Commissioner Taylor during
the last year has planted hundreds OF
trees. but there are still many vacant
places which should be planted in
shade and ornamental trees. During
the last week the park department
has completed the planting of the
American elms along the west side OF
Front street between Emerald and
Seneca and 1t is understood that this
planting will be continued to Division
street Much of the same kind of sys-
tematic planting has been done on AL
lison Hill and along the Cameron
parkway.
There are many young trees in the
city's nursery on Hargest Island which
should be set out without delay. 1t
would have been better had they been
planted before now; but 1t is not yet
too late to make use of them where
they are so greatly needed.
So much for the city's duty in this
respect. Every owner should feel a
similar obligation and it would re-
quire comparatively small expendi-
ture for the owners of property in a
given neighborhood to agree upon the
planting of the same kind of tree so
as to obtain harmony and the best re-
suits.
In the planting of trees, of course,
it is necessary to obtain knowledge of
the best varieties and how to plant
them so that there may be no disap-
pointment with the coming of the
Spring.

WHY CLING TO HATRED?

off you just like an ould shawl that
slips from your shoulders when you're
not lookin', an you'll be KNOWN we'll

busy, productive life has no room for
these time consuming, heart burning,
smouldering Goals of bitterness. Such
fuel were far better used to make
steam for the boiler and drive the
engine.

THE sEANiEN's LAW

TIME La Toilette seaman's law, nav
ing come back to haunt the
Democratic administration at
Washington, Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury Malburn has been charged
with the task of making the country
believe it was passed by Republican
votes in the Senate. Malburn made a
very plausible explanation and it might
have misled lot of people had 1t not
been for the prompt reply of Senator
Gallinger, Republican senator of New
Hampshire, who proves that the bill
was put through by Democratic trick,
signed by Democratic President, and
is therefore very much a Democratic
law.
The New Hampshire senator says
also that the House and Senate confer
ence report on the bill was adopted in
the Senate by snap vote when he and
two other leading opponents of the
La Toilette marine program were tenn
porarily absent from the Senate cham
Der. He believes the measure was
saved from defeat only by this pro-
cedure, which he regards as discredit.
able to those who engineered it.
Senator Gallingers letter to the New
York Sun on the subject follows:
Under date of November 10 no.
ticed that Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Malburn comes to the
rescue of the La Toilette bill,
charging that the Republicans al
lowed the conference report to pass

agreed to by the Senate under Cir
stances that are not at all credit

not over ten minutes, and Senator

Congressional Record will show
that senator Smith entered a pro-
test the next day and moved re-
consideration of the vote, which
motion was defea ted. as l remem-
ber. by bare majority.
This is especially interesting, not
only as placing final responsibility for
the seamens bill where 1t belongs, but
as a sidelight on the INSCRIPTIONS po-

that has been pretending to be all that
