Arbor Days NeW Meaning
philadelphia Public LEDGER

Despite the efforts of the forestry
associations and the support of the
State and Federal governments. Ar
Dor Day has been celebrated too
often in a perfunctory manner. No
one denied the value of tree plant
ing, or of encouraging scientific for
estry, or of conserving the natural
resources of the State, but the an
nual proclamations of necessity be-
came somewhat stereotyped and
only the enthusiasts whose minds
were made up anyhow reacted to the
yearly stimulus. This year. how
ever, Governor Sproul has been able
to strike a new note, and his elo-
quent appeal that the two Arbor
Days of 1919, April IL and April %,
be given over to tree planting in
the interest of the soldier dead
should accomplish two praiseworthy
purposes. In the first place. the
tree-memorial idea is given official
recognition and very beautiful
form of memorial vigorously in
dorsed by the Governor himself
Then, secondly, by reason of this
memorial idea being associated with
the problem of conservation an inn
petus is given to the general prob
lem of reforestration that should
prove of the greatest value to the
State. So in sense Arbor Day is
remade for Pennsylvania and re-
made under inspiring conditions
that associates the primal natural
resources of the State with the un-
dying memories of those who from
love CT country made the great
sacrifice for their fellow citizens and
their own here in this great and
patriotic Commonwealth. From this
time on Arbor Day in Pennsylvania
and throughout the Union cannot
but have a new and deeper meaning
as is forecast in the proclamation of
the Governor.

WORK WELL DONE

"HE change in the public mind
regarding the manner in which
the draft was administered is
perhaps the best tribute to the
loyalty of the boards identified with
the operation of the selective SER
vice law in Pennsylvania, whose
official existence ends to-day. The
men who served on the various
boards are deserving of all the
praise that can be given them. Not
only did they stick to business in
most trying times and fulfill orders
which were hard to understand, but
they ev1nced their patriotism by
giving the American Square Deal.
When it is considered with what
suspicion and apprehension the ad-
vent of the draft was greeted; how
rumors and reports of favoritism
filled the air in the first few months
of it's operation and how aliens and
soft heads, to say nothing of the
traitorously inclined, tried to ham
per its operation, the popular attitude
in support of the boards at the close
of the war te1s it's own story. Even
in parts of Philadelphia, where dis
satisfaction had been most rife dur
ing the first half of the draft period,
the belief was general at the close
of the time of fighting that the draft
had been honestly administered by
men who realized their responsible
ties to the Nation. In other sec
tions of the State where the call to
service also fell heavily the boards
were publicly commended by leaders
of their communities for impartial
ity. In this part of Pennsylvania
the general feeling swung around to
the support of the draft officials as
men who were striving to do their
best in work not always pleasant.
AS Major w. G.. Murdoch, the
chief draft officer, says in his fare
well letter, the draft was made a
success by patriotic effort and hon
esty on the part of the men who
came in contact with the great army
of registrants and often with mem
bers of their families.
