Athens Gazette Says-Similar
Cases Recalled.

New York.-Cable dispatches from
Athens effectively contradict the as
sumption that Mrs. William B. Leeds,
through her recent marriage to Prince
Christopher, youngest brother IF for
mer King Constantine Of Greece, &C.
auired the status of princess of the
blood and the title of "Royal High
ness.' The latest issues of the Off
cial Gazette of Athens publish an an
nouncement by the Hellenic govern
ment, in the name of the crown, that
Prince Christopher, before he married
Mrs. Leeds was obliged to renounce
his rank as a prince of the sovereign
house Of Greece and his place in the
line of succession to the throne. The
remuneration automatically erased his
name from the official roster of the
princes and processes of the royal
house.

OF Italy at Copenhagen. He was not
permitted to marry the girl he loved
until he surrendered his royal rank
and right of succession and had ac-

with the title of Count Rosenberg.
\, Still another case was that or
Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Hoi-
listeln. who fell in love with Miss Mary
I,Esther Lee of New York and was not
llpermitted to marry her, as he did In
ll1S64. until he had definitely renounced
his status and prerogatives as prince

was that of Duke Henry Borwin OF
Mecklenburg- Schwerin, who married
1.-THE former Miss Elizabeth Pratt Of
Kingston, N. Y. at Dover, England
in 1911. The marriage was declared
invalid In 1913 by the Supreme Cour'

Nursery-grown trees should be used
for street planting. They should be
transplanted at least every two years
while in the nursery to insure a thor
ough root pruning and an abundance
of fibrous roots close to the trunk. If
woodland trees are wanted, most kinds
should be grown for a few years in a
nursery before being planted on a
street. A tree should have light
trunk with a good set of branches, the
lower ones being to 9 feet above the

in advance, or if the excess of dryness
does not make the soil difficult to
handle the tree may be planted and
then thoroughly watered. After water
ing or inches of the loose soil
should be spread over the wet ground
to prevent undue evaporation. 1t
should not be tramped or pounded In
any way after the water is applied. If
trees planted in moist, retentive soil
are watered after planting, they should
be provided with mulch OF similar
earth. East of the Missouri river
trees planted in soil that is in good
condition usually do not need watering
at the time of planting.
Pruning Directions.
At planting time the tree should be
so pruned as to remove half to three
fourths of the leaf buds. Specific direc.
lions with regard to pruning are diff
cult, because different species Of trees
differ materially in the character OF
their growth In addition to pruning
the tops, broken ends of roots should
be removed with clean, sharp knife
as new rootletS put out more readily
from Clearly cut, fresh surfaces thar
from ragged breaks. Under certain
conditions young trees usually need the
support of strong stake and Otter
some well constructed guard to {
height of or Z feet
Proper care of mature trees invOlve
: thorough understanding of tre
growth. The removal of dead or un
desirable limbs should be done by cut
ting them off at the crotch so that tn
wound is parallel with the remainin
branch. The closer this cut is mad
> to the remaining branch or trunk tn
. better. There should be no stubs LET
to harbor decay and prevent healing.
It is difficult to stimulate artificial
: the growth of street trees. Sometime
I trees can be benefited by dissolvin
! one-half to one pound Of nitrate {
: soda in so gallons of water and appl,
y ing 1 to % gallons of the liquid {
: a time the amount depending on tt
1t size of the tree. Unless this soil
II damp, water should be applied immed
: ately afterwards. This solution shou
l. be used only when the tree Is in fl
e leaf and growing.
!" Care of Street Trees.
:, Water, of course. is one of tt
n great needs Of city trees, as Il
y ground is frequently covered wi
"a water-t tight paving. Street trees a
IN subject to attacks by insects and sc
eral varieties have their destructi

- formation with which the
ideal of ''the city beauti-
full may be brought
nearer realization is con-
tanned in bulletin,
street Trees" of the
United States depart
ment of agriculture. Fol-
lowing are some of the
points brought out:
Providing shade on city streets is
municipal function. Probably the
most satisfactory supervision is through
an unpaid commission of three or five
members appointed to long terms.
Funds may be provided by appropria-
ton from the general tax fund or by
direct assessment against the property
owners. 1t is probably best to assess
the cost Of tree planting against prop
erty owners on a frontage basis. while
maintenance may be provided out of
general funds.
An almost universal fault is to plant
trees too near together. A common
practice is to set street trees 80 feet
apart. If public opinion will permit
the removal of one-half of the trees
at the proper time, this IS a good ar
for the eastern half of the United
States and on the Pacific coast is to set
trees so feet apart in the case of most
varieties. For larger growing trees
60 to 20 feet is even better.
Some of the more obvious obstacles
with which a city tree has to contend
are water-tight pavements the remova
of top soil in street paving, careles,
digging for public service utilities
saturatiOn of the soil with gas from
defective pipes, the pouring of sal
water from ice cream freezers int,
cutters, the gnawing of trunks b.
horses and the slashing of tops by line
men and tree trimmers. A common
mistake in young, growing cities is t
provide wider street pavements tina

POLITICAL WISDOM.

At the last moment, United States
Senator William E. Borah decided to
remain away from Pocatello where
the Republicans were holding a state
convention. Developments indicate
that his determination was based on
the usual political austuteness which
has aided to make Borah a power in
Idaho and the nation.
Borah strongly advocated, and con-
tinues to advocate in spite of defin-
itely opposing party stand, the return
to the direct primary system in this
state. Borah Is VIGOROUSLY opposed
to Frank Gooding. And yet the party
which Borah heads in Idaho showed
enough spunk and ability to manage
it, own affairs to repudiate his leader
ship and dictation in both these mat
tiers. Idaho Republicans at Pocatello
would have done the same thing il
Borah had been there.
Borah, sensing this, stayed away
1t was, too, . wise Borah who chose
this course.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1920-08-31

Practically every county convention
held by Republicans in Idaho and
now the state assemblage, have gone
Of record ardently applauding Sena-
tor Borah's stand in the United States
senate against the poor, abused league
of nations. Nowhere has the slightest
opposition developed to placing the
stamp of approval on this stand.
And yet, The Tribune questions
whether, in single convention where
this action has been taken, there have
not been men, men of intelligence
and generally credited in some degree
with Republican party leadership in
Idaho who have not and do not hold
opinions varying greatly from those
entertained by Mr.. Borah. Yet these
men have permitted Mr.. Borah's stand
to be made their own in the eyes of
the world.
Has Idaho Republicanism reached
the stagew here it must be subject to
dictation and lack initiative or ex-
preston of an admitted minority
opinion? Who is Senator Borah, who
