Friendship.

We remember how Doctor GLADDEN.
used to preach upon friendship, which
he regarded as the practical form Of
religion. When a mans heart is right
he is quite sure to be friendly. There
is no hate, no envy. no suspicion, no
discOurtesy, no i'll temper. To be with
out these is the fulfilling of the law
which is love. and that is religion
Much more of it is needed than ap-
pears in business, in society, in poll
tics. In fact. there is room for a good
deal more. The test of q mans re-
ligiOn is found in the extent and quail
ity Of his friendship. It must not be
the friendship OF etiquette simply, nor
even Of good fellowship. 1t is the
habit or condition of a person that
grows out of his spirituality. There is
not much use in mans participating
in all the means of grace If he hates
his neighbor. And yet how many there
are of that kind There is nothing
that the coming reconstructed of So
ciety needs so much ss friendship. It
is a sort of treason to neglect it.

State has ever touched Nebraska's
first record, though Minnesota plant
ed / 800, 900 trees on Arbor Day, 1876,
and the Province Of Ontario 10000 in
1885. The trees the children planted
have often diet, but those that the
farmers planted from the days in
spiration have usually lived. So the
lesson has had It's forces. Their in
terest in forestry has already been
felt by the nation. The children Of
San Bernardino county, California,
have decided toAreforest their noun
tains, and a petition recently sent
the government asking the establish
ment of Redwood National Park was

It would be good to inspire in all
children such a love of trees as that
held by the late Colonel w. H. Jack
son of Athens. Ga. Nearly hundred
years ago he gave a great tree there
a deed to itself, for as the tree stood
near a thorourhfare he knew it might
some day be C down. To-Day the
tree still stands, though the good
colonel was long ago gathered to his
fathers, while the deed is on record

History of ArbOr Day.

Arbor Day became a day for chill
dren in May, 1882, when at the an
nual meeting o. the American Fores-
try Association In Cincinnati, the little
folks we're invited to take part. Twen-
ty thousand school children, with
bands playing and flags flying, march
ed in body to Eden Park and plant
ed Authors Grove as perpetual re-
mtnder Of the day. West Virginia i'm
mediately seized on the idea and gave
her ArlSor Day to her school children.
Since then other States and Terri
tories have swun1 into line and have
placed in the willing, unframed little
hands the fate Of the day that must
bear so big and potent a lesson to the
American people.
How much good has come from Ar
or Day cannot be estimated. No

The next day he turned in the follow

Your reporter had some difficulty
in securing an interview with the pas
tor of the Baptist church. He found
him pushing an OK cart on the dunn
pile of the Overman mine. He said
that he was doing this not merely for
exercise but for $3.50 day. He said
that his clerical salary was nominally
$50 per month, but the irregularity
with which it was not paid was very
distressing. The butcher, he said,
had been very kind to him, but his
patience had limits, and lately when
called upon for a beefsteak he had,
In an absent-minded way, cut off a
piece of liver. His congregation had
dwindled to IA hearers, and the col

Quaint Old Eastport.

The quaint old town Of Eastport,
Me-, which is but a little way from
the easternmost point in the United
States, is of interest because during
the War of 1912 a British feet sailed
into the harbor and took possession
of the town and fort without firing a
shot. Here British troops remained
until the exact boundary between the
United States and Canada had been
determined. With the exception OF
the interval indicated above, Ameri'
can troops occupied the fort from
1880 until 1875 In the latter year it
was abandoned and later the property
was sold to private individuals. who
turned the buildings into dwellings.

THOSE DEMOCRAT NOMINATIONS.

There has arisen a point Of law,
brought forward it Is said by the at
torney general which would seem to
act as a bar to names OF democratic
candidates being printed on the Nov
ember ballots of election. Attorney
General Havner is reported to have
given the opinion that under the law
1t is necessary for candidates to have
been in the primary and receive 10
per cent of the vote cast for their
party's candidate for governor at the
preceding guberantorial election.
Some of the democratic candidates 1t
is pointed out have been selected
since the primary by district eau
cuses and will be affected by the
opinion Of the attorney general to
the extent that unleks court order
is procured they will be refused
places of the ballot. So runs the story
from Des Moines.
However it may be 1t Is to be pre-
sumed that If necessary the court
will decide to give the candidates
