CAN'T BE TOO MANY TREES.

There Is no one day at this time
of the year that is <better than an
other for the planting Of trees and
shrubs. It does not mean that trees
planted on Arbor day will positively
thrive, or that they will grow any
better than as if set out the day be-
fore or the day after, but there Is need
Of a concerted endeavor in every state
for giving special consideration to ma
ture and for the encouragement of
Identification of home grounds and
streets. The setting aside of a par
ticular day calls forth greater atten-
ton and a better response than as If
it was left to the individual to re-
spend when he pleased to such an i'm
portant matter. It is also a day with
it's educational value.
It doesn't require a view Of many
streets where there has been a s1augh-
ter of trees for one cause or another
to appreciate the loss which such ave-
nues have experienced, and it doesn't
need to be pointed out more than a
dozen times that the tree-1ined and
shaded highway is a thing Of beauty
which inspires every user. be he res
ident or q visitor. The contrast be-
tween the sun-baked and the regular
- SHaueu highway 10 SaAPe4eiI "
bring about greater response to the
appeal which is made every year by
the governors of states for. q proper
observance of Arbor day.
No city has so many trees that il
should not establish the practice pt
replacing each and every one that is
removed so that while various reasons
might require the cutting down OF
iaundreds each year, Arbor day OF
this season of the year should witness
the planting of a like or greater NUM-
Der at some point, If not that where
the removals took place. There Is nc
danger of there being too many trees
Too many are the streets which haven

JITNEY REGULATION.

In the effort which is being made
before the general assembly to regulate
the jitneys, which have made their
appearance or which may later set up
business in this state, through bill
originated in committee, it appears to
be a matter which ought not to be
pushed through without a thorough
consideration of all that is involved.
It is a question whether the state
legislature is in a position to take
wise action regarding such matter
at this time because Of the slight un-
derstanding Of just what 1t is be-
ing called upon to regulate. There is
nothing to prevent just such service
as the jitneys furnish where there are
large crowds to handle and it is a
question whether they would cause any
serious competition where existing
transportation facilities are meeting
the requirements, and 1t is a question
whether the various communities OF
the state want to stifie any such in
f1uence for greater public accommoda-
ton, reaching as it doubtless would
into sections which are not now served
by the electric lines.
The jitney is likely to be a fad and
while it must Of necessity expect that
there will be regulations adopted for
it's control and the protection Of the
people, it is believed that such action
can best be taken by the cities in
which they are located. Every city is
bound to have its local problems ir
that regard as well as any other and
it is only reasonable to leave the hand
ling of this question to home rule, the
same as traffic regulations.

IN ACCORD WITH THE FACTS.

The prompt manner. in which the
legislative committee on new towns and
probate districts disclosed a majority
against the petition for the separation
Of the town of Norwich was a just move
and greatly to the credit Of the COM
mittee. 1t was impossible to figure
how any other decision could be made
if the merits OF the matter received
consideration.
The action which authorizes an I'M
favorable report to the general as
sembly is in full accord with the tes-
.tifnony which has been introduced at
three hearings and the only surprise
that can result IS that it was not a
unanimous vote in opposition. From
the great amount OF evidence which
showed that it was for the interest of
all concerned that Norwich should re-
main as it is and while the presen-
tatfon of a majority report against
the petition will undoubtedly mean a
vote to give the petitioners an oppor-
tunity to withdraw, yet from the noun
tain Of evidence raised against 1t the
committee would have been justified In
ending the matter after the second
hearing. Never was there a sound
reason advanced for the granting of
the petition and the adverse report
by the committee is only what was
due to the rernonstrants. That the
committee found it unnecessary to visit
the premises indicates the convincing
character Of the testimony In oppost-
ton
That the legislature viii be guided
by the report Of the committee is to
be expected. Certainly no other action
could be taken and render justice to
Norwich.

Does Wireless Cause ExpIosions7

A well-known scientist recently
suggested that the mysterious exp1o-
sion which destroyed the British bat
tleship, the Bulwark, might have been
due to the influence of wireless waves.
The theory that wireless causes ex-
blossoms was put forward some time
ago by a French engineer. To prove
his point, he called attention to the
fact that the disaster to the British
steamer, the Volturno, which was
burnt in the Atlantic, took place just
on the junction point where the wire
less waves from the Eiffel Tower and
Glace Bay meet The mysterious nine
explosion at Senghenydd also occurred
on the Clifden-Paris wireless line.
The French engineer also points out
that in his opinion wireless has q
strange effect on the mind, and he
considers that it is for this reason
that collisions between ships have
