Trees Along the Road

II I were asked what, Of all the
beautiful things saw in the beautiful
country Of France, was the most beauti-
full, should unhesitatingly reply:
"The trees along the road"
have only to close my eyes to
see them now-the bng white road
stretching away, and above it the arch
ed trees.
II seems TO be general custom here
to line the highway with trees. And
it bespeaks at once the taste, the good
sense and the thrift OF these people.
Trees are beautiful anywhere-in
their native forest, dumped in mead.
ows where the cows shelter in their
shade. about the house, in the garden
and in the park-but take il all in all
| think like them best by the road
side.
There they are public-everybo
trees, as trees ought 10 be. They
shade equally the king in his coach
and the vagabond asleep at their feet.
And they are there deliberately. Men
must plant them there. And so i,
shows men appreciate them. They
stand as invited guests. They are de-
servedly honored.
And there is something about a row
OF trees that is especially appealing.
1t is the most magnificent OF process
sions. 1t is the permanent standing
army Of beauty.
AS you look down a long avenue OF
trees you find it easy to believe that
architects got their first idea OF a
cathedral nave from the spectacle OF
their meeting branches.
Such tree-guarded road is splen-
didly, solidly, spiritually charming.
When think of the infinite reaches
Of treeless bare road have traversed
in America, | wonder why we could
not follow the hint of the French.
For these trees are valuable, eco.
nomically as we'll as as sentmentallv
They say one-tenth of France is in
trees.
The government carefully looks af-
ter forestry, for wood is a considerable
national asset. Some day America
is going no wake up to the necessity
of conserving its trees.
One Of the most distressing pictures
OF the war-devastated area that re.
mains in my mind, is that of miles of
road with the trees all cut down, wheth-
er by artillery or by the malice of the
German army.
| was told that two acts of the bocbe
made Frenchmen the most furious
One was taking away French girls bv
the Germans to do farm work herded
! by brutal officers, and the other was
the needless cutting down of trees
particularly orchards, for to these peo.
pie, and to me, tree is very near tc
| being human.

LEAGUE REPUDIATED.

Other than the complete repudia-
ton Of the present League of Nations,
the foreign policy Of the new admin
istration is hazy as laid down by
President Harding in his address to
congress. While approving some sort
Of an association for world peace-a
vague, nebulous and ill-deined COM
bination Of the world, he lays the
greatest stress upon preserving our
isolation. Time will tell the wisdom
of this policy, but it seems to US that
somewhere between the irreconcila-
bles like President Wilson on the one
hand and the Borah-J ohnson element,
there was room for reforming such
defects in the present league as might
appear and availing ourselves Of its
present organization to lift the world
out of it's present slough of despond-
ency. President Hardings address
leaves one cold-chilled with the ut
ter selfishness of his world viewpoint.
His pronouncement can have no good
effect on world conditions, now in so
distressed condition.

SENTIMENT AND BUSINESS.

STORM OF PROTEST.

There has been in recent years
nothing which has caused such a
storm Of protest as has the raise In
telephone rates which the Bell Tele-
phone company has just put over in
South Carolina, with the consent Of
the railroad commission, In some
towns, indignant subscribers by the
score" have ordered their phones re-
moved in protest, and some members
Of the general assembly are urging
the governor to call a special ses-
sion of that body to protect the peo-
ple. At q time when every other
business is being readjusted to meet
changed conditions and everybody
has been forced more or less to "de-
fate" or "liquidate," the telephone
company, instead of so readjustlng
their business so as to make it profit
able at high war rates, has added an
other increase which the dictated"
people are expected to shoulder in
silent protest, but which they are
most vigorously protesting-with
what effect remains to he seen.
Railroad rates, recently kited in
this state, are now at the point where
they are "killing the goose" and yet
the public, from it's treasury at Wash
ington, is expected to make good the
loss. Who will make good the loss
of the farmers, the merchants-the
butcher, the candlestick maker, and
every other man conducting private
business?
It is time for a little readjustment
in the interest of the taX-paying pub
lie.

MR.. FURTICK REPLIES
TO SENATOR CROSSON.
Editors Dfspatch-News:

Editors Dkspatch-News:
I want to thank you in advance
for space in. your valuable columns
to reply to the recent brilliant at
tempt and dismal failure of my friend
Senator Crosson in defending his
weak position relating to the ap-
pointment Of the late Board Of County
Commissioners.
T want to say at the outset that
have no word of censure for either
of the four geneltmene in question.
So far as I know they are gentlemen
in every sense of the word.
The personnel of the board shows
only one out Of four a country man
to attend to business purely Of a
rural and AGRICULTURAL nature. I do
not claim that these men are not
fully competent to transact this busi-
ness, but that there are other farmers
and business men not living in the
towns Just as competent and better in
position to see and appreciate the
conditions and with more time and in
terest in them.
I know of no town in this county
where men from the country are put
in charge of affairs pertaining entire
ly to those towns. Do you? Now,
senator, you say: II personally NOM
mated the four gentlemen who COM
posed the old board, but neither Of
them was elected" Now: Senator, I
know and can furnish ample proof
that you did not do this. But for ar
gun1ent sake, admitting that you did,
do you thus openly admit your utter
lack Of influence with the delegation
of which you are the honored chair
man, being senator, that you could
not put across at least one man out
of four for the board?
Honest to goodness, now, Senator,
why this noticeable lack Of influence
with YOUR delegation Gas you term
it). of a man who could SO influence
the great State Highway Commission
and induce them to shake themselves
loose from fifteen thousand dollars, as
you claim.
Now, Senator, it seems to me that
YOU have offered lame, pitiable eX-
planation which fats absolutely to eX-
plain because late developments show
conclusively that long ago the "D1E'
was cast and that you no doubt saw
in your vision at night the names OF
some at least Of the personnel Of our
Board Of Commissioners.

to- be unduly hard on our debtors,
ana we are willing to give them ample
time to get on their feet before press
ing the payment Of the debt. In this
connection it is well enough to con-
slider that the great bulk Of the debt
is owed by France and England, both
of which countries, while suffering
terribly from the war, also received
benefits in the way Of expanded ter
ritory from which they will in time,
at least to some extent, recoup IN
part their war losses. The United
States received nothing whatever in
the way Of benefit under the terms OF
the treaty and 1t is asking a large
draft on our generosity TO cancel the
war debts owed the United States. II
the payment of interest on these
loans is so great a drain upon the
resources of the debtors as to mater
tally retard their progress back to
normal. we can cancel the payment
of interest for a period sufficient to
enable them to get started, but even
tually they will be able to pay the
nrincipal and our sympathy ought not
to run entirely away with our busi-
ness. The taxpayers of the United
States are being burdened to pay back
the war losses, including interest on
these debts, and the great majority
of them we believe are unwilling to
throw away the huge sum owed to
us.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1s. 1921.
Cooperative MARKETING.

When the farmer begins to turn
his attention from the raising Of cot
ton and looks around him to find
out what other crops he can best
crow that may be proftably turned
into cash, the first problem that con-
fronts him is the marketing Of such
crops. Most municipalities, in their
endeavor to protect their butchers and
green groceryman, have. levied re-
strictive licensing upon the sale or
sarm products direct to the consumer
by the farmer to such an extent as
To make it almost prohibitive for our
farmers to atempt such sales. Besides
this is an age Of hurry and hustle
and the time consumed in peddllng
stuff from house to house can be more
.profitably utilized. Some other means
must be devised Of disposing Of the
surplus food products. 1t is noted
with qualification that steps along this
line are taken by many communities
in the organization Of cooperative
marketing associations by farmers
throughout the state.
But the farmer alone cannot make
the success Of cooperative marketing
which it should have. He must nave
the support and announcement or the
dwellers in towns and cities, who are
dependent upon him for the food
which sustains them. They should be
willing and anxious to buy from our
own people rather than from Western
farmers through the medium OF brok-
ers. One of the troubles which they
have encountered when they have
attempted to do this is that our far
mers do not try to meet
their competitors Of the West. Ger
tainly it is much more advantageous
TO wholesaler to have delivered at
his side door a carload OF corn OF
oats or other produce on which he
has 80, days to pay and which is prop
erly graded and sacked or otherwise
nut in proper containers, than II
would be to buy the same carload
from ten, twenty or perhaps more
individuals and pay out the cash in
driblets. Trade, like almost every
thing else, is bound to take the line
Of least resistance.
Cooperative marketing associations
having selling agents in whom all con-
eerned. had confidence, and assuring
to the farmers square deal While
smoothing out some Of the difficult
tics of the present haphazard method
ought to prove highly beneficial to
all concerned. The farmers, how
ever. have been offered so many reme-
dies for their ills and have had so
much really bad advice, that they
will be naturally cautious about new
movements. It will, therefore, be
fortunate if our cities and toWnsare
willing to help take up some such
movement and pledge their aid in
helping to make cooperative marketing
= success. The enormous amount
sent out Of this state every year for
food can be largely kept at home if we
make up our minds to do it, but be-
fore our farmers are warranted in
growing food crops for market they
must have some assurance that they
will be able to dispose Of such crops.
A truly cooperative marketing plan,
in which all citizens Of the state will
jain, will go far towards providing
the means for accomplishing this re-
suit.
