GOVERNOR HARRINGTON AD-
DRESSES THE CHILDREN
Chief Executive Wants Them 20 OBJ
serve Arbor Day In MARYLAND.

Under date of March 18th Hon.
Emerson c. Harrington, Governor of
Maryland, addressed the children of
Maryland in the following letter, which
is published herewith:
To THE CHILDREN OF MARYLAND.
NV dear Young friends
am sure that you know that Friday,
April 7th, will be ''Arbor Day" and that
you know also that while it is not a
legal holiday in Maryland, the day has
been specially set apart by proclama-
ton as a daY for planting shade trees
about our homes and along cur public
roads.
Most work Of public interest in the
State must Of necessity be done by
your parents and your grown up rela-
tiyes, but the work which the General
Assembly OF Maryland thought import
ant enough to direct the Governor to
call to the attention of all our people by
proclamation each year, setting apart a
special day for it, is work which little
boys and little girls, as well as big boys
and big girls, can do, and | am writing
you this letter, requesting you to help
US do the work.
If | could see each one of you in per-
son and ask you to help me to do some
thing for the welfare of our State, |
am sure you would do it if you could,
but as | cannot do that, | want you to
regard this as personal request from
the Governor and | believe you will
grant it. Our State is beautiful State
and we all love it. We love its trees
and flowers, its farms and rivers, and
loving it, we want to do all we can to
make it even more beautiful than it is.
Nothing contributes more to the
beauty of our yards and roads than
pretty trees, and if each girl and boy
in our state will carefully plant shade
tree, in place where one is needed,
along public highway. you will be
helping to beautify our State and
HelplnS 10 MAKE IL more Pheasant
place to live in. | request you to do
this, and hope that after it is planted
you will take pride in that tree, and
that you will watch it as the years go
by, and protect it from harm, and that
you will do all you can to make it thrive
and grow.
If you will do this, it will be pleas
ure after you have grown up to man
hood and womanhood, to regard the
tree as your tree and to point to it
with pride as something you have done
that has added beauty to the landscape
and give comfort to the traveller.
seud d special greeting to you all,

ON MODERN NOVELS.

IL Ia A pleasure to open a modern book and find therein something of humanity as 1t really is. Too many of the so-called popular novels are os . hot.house nature. The emotions are 50 strained and unreal that the reader rises from a reading of them with the same feeling that he wakes from a nightmare.
 Then the love story Is given pre- dominance far above it's real impor' tance In life. IL Is a strange contra diction that Americans produce sen timentai literature that. If any of It's events happened In real life. they would laugh them out of court. How their sense of humor permits them to wade through the seas of senti' mentality Is an absurdity in Itself and a good humorous subject.

-AooSiER POET" TIME.

Now that the frost is on the punkin and the folders in the shock" those who have lived in the middle
 west can take down their poems by James Whitcomb Riley and live again the kindly life of those broad plains.
 AS one critic has said. Riley Is the
 poet of the broad prairies. There Is
 nothing of the rude and boisterous spirit in him. Nothing. either, of tho great passions and tumultuous ambitions that dominates the work of the master appears In his homely
 verse.
 For his Is the simple. tender verse of quiet. busy people. He was not
 A great poet in the sense that the
 term Is commonly understood. but
 he has created a new folk poetry.
 Everywhere one of those people of
 his community stands before the
 reader. There Is the contented farm
 CT In the poem quoted above, and the Lis.town humorist. and the hired
 man In The Ragsedy Man" and
 30 on. All of them breathe the hu-
 nor and the pathos of simple coun-
 try people.
 No comment on the work of the
 poet Is complete without reference to his poems for the children. To paraphrase the book that the poet loved. whole generations of children yet unborn shall rise up 10 call him blessed There is something wrong with the child that doesn't shiver with "Orphant Annie" or have op- portunity to meet chap like The Rasgedy Man" Such q comment is the one. perhaps. that the poet would like best of all That he lived chil- dren Is written in no uncertain terms In the best of his verse
 Las, l, should be written that there Is nothing in his work that . child dare not read. His poems
 need not be placed on the upper shelf, where the child can not reach them. Ills works are as clean as the meadows that delighted him. It Is pleasure to take one of his
 books and visit for a while with just ordinary people. Pleasant it is to be where the sentiment Is clean and pure and wholesome. Now that the poet has passed away. fortunately not before he was fully
 recognized, 1t Is well to wish him 0odspeed. as George Harvey does In his address. in the words of one of his best poems

WoRpY WARFARE.

It is merely natural that the heat engendered by the friction conse- quent on a political campaign should result in boiling over when the parties thereto are careless with the steam gauge. Fortunately the i'm p,r;anco .l the result, 50 far Al the general welfare of the particular com. niuni,y in which lhc effervesceuce takes place. can be uaeAsured by that honely simile which describes a controversial warfare as . "storm in a teacup."

For to state that . member of a legislature. or other iaw.making body, is incompetent because he vot' cd for . bill which subsequently has been declared to bs poor law would argue that practically every Congrsss of the United States has been made up of incompetents. This Is. perhaps. best demonstrated by the fact that the ordinary law library is made up of about one per cent statute and text books and ninety-nine per cent volumes devoted to the elucidation of the differences of opinion that possibly can be arrived at by the judges whose place 1t Is to admin ister those laws.

 1HG AlAokAN'S VOTE.

1, Is BOW & good time for the voter to calmly si, down and figure out just what this election means to him. Although Alaskans have no electoral vote yet. they do have a way of expressinEfth ftheir confidence in the present administration. The most obvious way for them to do 50 is by vote for Sulser.
 Has this administration done the things that the voter would have 1t do? I. l, worthy of further support? Leaving party considerations aside for the moment. ia there anything that the present administration has not done that could have been ac- compllshed by the other party These are some of the questions that the honest voter will ask himself before he goes to the polls on election day.
 Granted that some mistakes have been committed. Is 1t likely that any other man or set of men would have been able to come through the fire of the past few yes4fs without few shrapnel wounds upon them? The most that anyone can ask Is that. In the face of new and strange de vices of warfare. the leader bring to bear q cool and sane Judgment.
