LINCOLN TREE
IN HALL OF FAME

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE only
tree known to have been planted in
memory of Abraham Lincoln right
after his assassination has been
nominated for place in the Hall of
Fame for trees with a history
which the American Forestry Asso-
citation is compiling. A. S. Bailey of
DEBORAH, Iowa, where the tree now
stands, informed the association that
the tree was planted by one John
Finn. who is still living.
When Abraham Lincoln was
assassinated Mr.. Finn was in Chi
cago and he returned home much
depressed, A few days later. on
April y. 1865, Governor Stone of Iowa
declared a DAY of mourning for
Lincoln. Finn went into the woods
and dug up a small blackberry shoot
which he transplanted on the street
in front of his home. The shoot took
root and today is one of thes most
magnificent trees in Iowa. 1t is 10
feet high and nearly l. feet in cir
conference. to which facts the
American Forestry Association points
as great lesson in what can be
done in tree planting

Revolution. the Grand Army of the
Republic and historical societies of
the country are said to be reporting

Our Attitude Toward Poland.

AN Independent Polish state
which should include the territories
inhabited by indisputably Polish
populations. which should be assured
free and secure access to the sea-
and whose political and economic in
dependence should be guaranteed by
national covenant" such, you may
recall. was one of the points about
which President Wilson was most
insistent. Poles everywhere &C
claimed the position taken and
doubtless many of them expected
assistance to follow. In this they
have been grievously disappointed.
They should never have been en-
couraged to suppose the United
States would send armies to sustain
Poland's frontiers at the behest of
any power save our own, much less
lend aid to her ambition to extend
them. On the other hand they had
reason to expect long before this a
declaration such as our State De-
partment gave out Tuesday.
Promptness might have lent some
what of weight to our attitude, the
value of which affecting the present
Polish situation appears to BE-
negligible. Nevertheless it is cause
for approval that the Administration
is not disposed to recognize the boil
shevist regime. 1t is possible, and
when is considered what now it is
accomplishing, not altogether i'm
probable. that eventually we may be
forced to recognize as accomplished
what the bolshevists are laying
plans for. Moreover if our relations
with Russia were more intimate we
might not SO easily assume this atti-
tude.' against regulators and muir.
derers. Be that as it may. no recog-
milton of bolshevism that has sought
to destroy our own government, no
acquiescing in the partition of Russia
TO satisfy the greed and ambitions
of ciiques, nor in the purpose to
make of Poland the doormat OF
Prussia. is the course which we be-
lieve the American people as a whole
will approve. Even the socialists
Are sustaining that policy.

reply, We would but it would be
too hard on our clothes and shoes
Camp officials permit the prisoners
to seek outside work, which, how
ever is most difficult TO find. One
Russian, who was employed two
weeks by a peasant ruined his only
pair of shoes and then was charged
the fun amount of his wages for his
board.
Most of the prisoners have heard
nothing from their families or friends
for more than two years. and the
Rhodes scholars will try to help the
men get in touch with their homes
In almost every camp there is a rude
theater, the principal amusement and
comfort of the men, who themselves
perform the plays. In spite Of their
apathy. the men are interested in
books and instruction, and school
classes have been formed at a num-
Der of the camps.

They're Scared, That's Whv.

THE majority for the ratification Of
the suffrage amendment in the Ten
nessee legislature has disappeared"
When the valiant National Wom-
ems party leaders make this an
nouncement, it must be taken as the
truth. Nothing could induce them to
make 1t unless every resource had
been exhausted in the effort to bring
about the one thing for which the
party has been laboring So indus
triously.
Even so. it is hardly more than was
to be expected. Tennessee has never
been looked upon as sure to ratify.
1t is too near and too much colored
by the Southern attitude to adopt a
wholly forward and progressive pol
icy for itself. The mid Victorian no.
ton of woman as an ornament whose
place is in the home still prevails to
some extent
But there are evidently other con-
siderations which have entered in to
change the hopes Of the suffragists to
bitter disappointment. The suffrage
leaders note that many men who in
their home districts had pledged
themselves to vote for ratification
had since their arrival at Nashville
changed their minds. This sudder
change.of face indicates the action O,
some influence which has been ap-
piled to all these legislators alike, and
that since they left their homes and
journeyed to their State capital. Until
the facts are out-which may be soon
or never-one guess as to what the
influence is, is as good as another,
We are going to hazard the opinion
that it Is made up OF certain elements
in both parties which are afraid OF
the effect which the loosing of won
ans influence in politics will have on
them and their fortunes. The same
elements were busy in Delaware, SC
assiduous that they attained their oh
ject and prevented that State from
being among the list of ratifyine
States. These people understand per-
fectly that when the women get the
vote they will make use of it, and
that is just what they are fearful
about. Women who have entered
into the full rights Of citizenship at
once set about doing the things
which need to be done to improve the
habitation of the body polite, re-
