PLANT TREES.
75 years Die present supply (if

timber
la thin country will be exhaust-
ed. at the present rate of i onsumpl Ion,
Inn admonition to plant trees becomes
slonuent with meaning. There Is
great value In trees, Bays the Kansas
City Times. The big lumber fortunes
bare been made In the main, not In
buying and selling lumber, nor even
In manufacturing lumber for sale, but
la buying vast tracts of timber laud
jU holding them for the Inevitable
VJ ranees In timber prlciH Incident to
rapidly decreasing supply. Now,
t would not prullt any man or cor
pc ration to buy large areas of land
tbat could be profitably used for agri
culture, fruit growing or grazing, and
let them in trees; but It would bo
profitable for all who own timber
lands that could not be profitably
used for other purposes to maintain
them as permanent forests, using
only the matured treeB ami cutting
them and clearing the slash In such a
way as to give the best possible pro
tection to the immature timber. Al
bo, It would be profitable to every
owner of land to plant trees on any
part of It that cannot bo utilized for
ether purposes. If this great nation
could Inspire Its landholders with
this one purpose for a given time, to
the end that all land that should be
planted with trees would be so plant
ed, the problem of the future lumber
upply would be solved.
The treasure chamber beneath the
palace of Necessldades, Lisbon, Por
tugal, has been opened and examined
by the minister of public works at the
request of King Manuel, who feared
for the safety of the crown Jewels and
certain personal property of the royal
family. The Jewels and valuables
were found In the underground cham
ber Intact. An Inventory showed
thein to be worth upward of $;,000,UOO.
Among the Jewels was the diadem of
ex -Queen Anielle and a necklace given
ber by her father, the Compte de
Paris, valued at JjnO.OMl. There was
found also a table service of solid tier
man silver, weighing over a ton, also
a crown and scepter of gold studded
with precious stones; also several
bricks of gold, the largest weighing
45 pounds. The ministe r of finance
announces that all valuables which
are the private property of Manuel
and his mothtr will be returned to
them. Those belonging to the stale,
such as the crown and scepter will
be placed In the national museum.
Some peculiar rights are being set
tled in New York. A man recovered
dearly $l,wn) damages from u police
man for clubbing him because the
man In question kicked In his own
door. As the man's wife had request
ed the policeman's Interference, she
having locked tho kicked In door,
this decision for damages looks like
a desperate stand on the part of mere
man to avoid being kicked out of do
mestlc supremacy.
A man In New Jersey was lately ar
rested for assaulting a neighbor. But
It developed laur that the assailant
bad been run over by bis own auto

would have been clearly superhuman
self control which would have checked
an attack under tho clreumstaitccB,
the assault was condoned by a law
recognizing the limitations of human
nature.

tory It is Now

New York Reciprocity with Can
ada must bo adopted now or never
and muBt stand or fall by its own
terniB. Amid tremendous applause
and the waving of handkerchiefs so
declared President Taft in an ad
dress at the Waldorf-Astoria at the
fourth annual Joint banquet of the
Associated Press and the American
Publishers' Association. His address
was the first of a series in which he
plans to evoke public sentiment in
support of his policies, and lie ap
pealed to the c:ipiiny of editors and
new spa int owners, gatnereu nom un-
length and the breadth of the
tn Imnrcs In the public, mind
laud
that
reciprocity should stand alone and
"ought not to bo affected In any re
gard by other amendments
to the
tariff law." His
recommendations
were- warmly cheered.
All talk of annexation he charac-i
terlzed as "bosh" and said that the
I'nlted States has all it can attend
to with the territory It is now gov
erning, lie raibod the Houso ot uep-
resentatives for Its passage of the
agreement; decUred that it would
not Injure the former nor any special
class, answered in detail tho objec
tions that have been raised to reci
procity and begged for at least "a
! kind of test" to dispel tho ghosta ex
hibited to rrlghten tho agricultural
classes."
"I have said that this was a criti
cal time in tho solution or the ques
tion of reciprocity." concluded tho
President. "It Is critical because un
! less it is now decided favorably to
; reciprocity it is exceedingly probable
' that no such opportunity will ever
'again come to the I'nlted States. Tho
' forces whlrh are at work in Kngland
1 and In Canada will derive an
; Impetus from tho rejection of this

Washington, D. ('.--Victor Ilorger,
of Milaul,"e, the Socialist member
of Congress, In a resolution Intro
duced in l lie House, not. only pro
poses to nbolhii the Seuale, but alms
to strike from the hand of Iho Presi
dent the veto power and 'ake from
the courts authority to Invalidate
legislation enacted by the House of
Representatives. All this it proposed
us an amendment to the Constitu
tion, which, If petitioned for by 5 per
cent, of the voters In each State,
shall be submittevl to a genera! refer
endum.
"The Senate lias run lis course,"
r.aid Mr. Merger after his threaten
ing document had been dropped Into
the hopper on the speaker's desk. "It
must some day, as with the llritlsh
House or Lords, yield to tho popular
demand for Its reformation or aboli
tion." The resolution was not referred to
the Judiciary Committee until after
several hours' delay, caused by rais
ing the question as to whether a
clause In the preamble attacking Hie
.Senate might not be a violation of
the House rules. This clause re
ferred to the Senate as "a menace to
tho liberties of the people" and as
a "body, many of tho members of
which nre the representatives neith
er or a Stale nor of Its lioople, but
solely of certain predatory combina
tions." House rule 22 authorizes the
Speaker to throw out bills and reso
lutions of an Insulting character. It
was determined, however, tliat the
resolution was not a violation.
The rule prohibiting members of
one legislative body against criticis
ing or attacking the other body is ap
plicable only In debate on the floor.

MAD :RO'S VIEW OF IT.
Says
Diaz and Corral Started Inter-
vent on Scare t
Kl Paso, Tex. General Madero,
speaking or the alleged interview
with Vice-President Corral concern
ing the Fnited States, had this to
say:
I am not sure that Corral mado
tho statement credited to him, but
I do know that when the revolution
was In the formative stage it was
part of the Diaz-Corral strategy to
give the impression that the I nited
States would intervene in behalf or
the Mexican government. This wns
to mnke us appear unpatriotic.
"However, the revolution got un
der way and is winning, yet there has
been no Intervention. The govern
ment, therefore, Is now trying to
mnke It appear that the revolt does
not owe its spread to tho unpopular
ity of the administration, but to
foreign elements which they allege
