The Best Monument
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

~ ARRIELE DANNUNZIO Italys soldier poet came out
n and announced that he would attend the ceremony
Of his selmposed exile at Lake Garda the other day
in honor Of ST Francis and plant for the reforesaon
of Mount Subaso.
He said that the tree better memorial to the saint
than the erection of monument.
Man has been monument building animal He differs
from the other animals putting up memorials over the
grave of his kind.
There have been many splendid monuments in the past
such the tomb of Hadran the Pyramids and the Tai
Mahal
1t is doubtful however, if anything in the way of
tree is mans best friend and the is living thing
By its annual regeneration illustrates the hope Of
mans Immortality by its shade its fruits it gives Of its
substance to mans welfare
is especially fitting in the of Saint Francis that
tree should be selected for Saint Francis was great lover Of
nature He called the birds and the animals of the forest
his friends and composed poem to his brother the
Sun.
How he must have loved the trees and have been Ura
full for their protecting life.
Man has been slowly coming to the conclusion that he
must conserve the forests well exploit them They
temper the climate they modify the effects of the rain fail
and from their wood many implements and the dwellings
of man constructed.
1t would be most keeping with the order Of things that
those who seeking for to their dead should
plant tree.
Among the ancient Germans each mans life was
to be bound up with tree and when he was dead his
coffin was made from that tree.
We not be descended from tree inhabitinp animals
it has been held but is certain that deep in the heart
of mankind is implanted love for trees and the waving
tree will be his best memorial

STIGMA UPON

Editor The washington Times:
THE case Of the People OF the
State of New York vs.. Ruth
Snyder and Judd Gray has been
settled. A verdict of first degree
murder has been brought by a
Jury of tried and true men. This
verdict carries with it the death
penalty, which means that these
convicts are to be bound, strapped
into a death chair, and actually
roasted alive" Tt means no less.
But the real point in question
is, "Just how far backward does
legalized murder take US into the
age Of cannibalism and into the
age Of blind reasoning founded
upon a principle Of barbarous re.
taliation2"

There's nothing mysterious or

we grown away from herd ideas

normal young human must re.
peat that fight in the process of
his development. It's a hard
fight-perhaps the most bitter and
difficult fight in all life. Most of
