Tho long list of petitioners Is not considered "axxertlvo Hcntimcnt" by tho Itrcnnh It may have proven a dead letter law, but our law makers are passing ninny another act that will be dead-letters and that are of very little importance to tho pooplo. The ''dead letter" exeuw.) offered by tho ltcvmd Is pretty thin. Why not have given the petitioners tho satisfaction of knowing that there is such a law by passing it even If It would only have been u dead letter y Governor Hastings has Issued a pro clamation fixing Friduy, April I), and Friday, April 21), as Arbor Days. The Governor says: "The custom of annual ly fixing a day to bo celebrated as Arbor Day, has spread Into every section of the country. The value of these celebrations has been abundantly mani fest, ' In the state which claims the honor of having originated Arbor Day, more than 350,000,000 trees were planted during the first Ave years. The cere monies Incident to Arbor Day have created Increased interest In the growth and care of trues, und have quickened the appreciation and importance of forest preservation. The necessity of covering with a new growth of trees the otherwise useless areas of our State Is apparent In every section. To this end our law makers have appropriate legislation In progress. Young und old more than ever appreciate that there Is not a spot on earth which tnuy not bo made more beautiful by tho help of t rees and flowers. School grounds have been adorned, the. surroundings of tho home have been beautified, public parks have been multiplied and the landscapes und charming scenery of Pennsylvania may yet bo made still more attractive. We aro rapidly passing from a destruc tive to a constructive policy. We have learned the. lesson that trees and the forests are essential to our continued , prosperity, and that he who plants a troe, whether boy or man, Is a publlo many puh:i-lierx ill be patient if tlio xuliMTibi rx hhow that they mit "tugging a little harder to H-rape the dimes tocrlher." lion't slop my inipi'i-. ininli'i-; linn'i iii-lui' my inn ill yet : You Unoiv the liine MM' hi iliiL'ellt A ml ilnlhi i - Inn il In ui'l , Hut Mm ii tittle hiiiiler N 11 Iim i I mi'tin iimIh.
