The ladles of tbs V. I. A,of whioh

aeats to replace those broken and de
stroyed, which will be located at oon
venient places. Lost season several

The ladioa are generous in thirlr ef

an excellent and deserved reputation
for neatness and it should have one

How to Plant Trees
Acoording to EnglUh tree growers
who beve made extensive and rx.
pensive experiments in planting trees
the method heretofore 'pursued is
unnecessary and costly. 1. baa al
ways been nrped that cam should be
taken iu planting a tree. That a
large bole should be dug, the roots
carefully spread out, tbe dirt placed
about the roots so as to fiill all the in
terstices and a stake driven near to
which the tree is faaiened. This is
all wrong. They say dig small
hole, Jam the roots in It aud then
ram tbe dirt down on them taking
no care whether the roots are In.
Jnred in the prooeia. A long serlea
of experiments show that St percent
of trees thrived nnder this method,
in 27 per cent there was no differ
ence bpt ween the old and new way.
and only 14 per ountsbowed In favor
of the careful way. They claim that
the fibroua roots so called, which
nurserymen say should be protected,
are of no value. Tbat tbs root a
throw out new fibres whiob are tbs
real feeders, Thus does science
overthrow tradition. Dig a post
hole, jam the tree In it, throw iu
dirf, rum it down and go away feel
ing that you have planted the tree
in the most approved, modern
method.

"Ths cry that there is a scarcity of

Tbs tariff fight thai Is now being
vagi'd in Washington is incrsssing
la intensity snd interest with svsry
day tbat passes The represents.
tires of tbe great corporations and
trusts tbat want law amounting to
a license to plunder the American
people ars hart on the ground de
manding the highest tariff that was
there, but they are, however, seed
ing some very vigorous and spicy
letters to tbe Senators and Represen
tatives tbey sent to Congret s. If lbs
people f this country wonlg do
mors letter writing to tbeir Con
gressmen, they would get better
laws from Congress than they bavs
been getting. About 200 years ago
tbe French Nobles secured laws ex
empting them from taxation, so that
all the burdens of the Govsrnmenl
felt on ths middle snd lower or peas
ant classes. Tbe 'American Nohlrs'
,sre now trying to do the very ram
thing.
One of the things that frightens
' Senators most ia tbe projiosal of aa
iLComs tax which President Taft
ht artily favors snd whicb would do
T.ore towards placing the proper
share of tbe burdens of the Govern,
inent on tbe wealtby snd prosperous
than any measure I bat was ever pro
posed. The leading Senators tbat
detest ths income tax are crying out
that this is Democratic doctrine and
are endeavoring to have it squelched
by raising this kind of a partisan cry.
This charge la nothing less than an
infamous lie. Tbe first income tax
law was passed by a Republican Con
grets snd signed by tbe immortsl
Lincoln aud yielded millions of dol
lars of revenue during the war times
ot '61 to '65. Ws have now come to
the point where mora rsvenue must
be raised and nothing is more just
ihsu that a tax shsll be levied on tbe
snsrmous incomes tbat a few man in
this oounfry sujoy. Senator Aldrlch
whose daughter Is ths wife of Jobn
D. Rockefeller Jr, which of course,
makes him closely a kin to the 8. Oil
and Rockefellers, is horrified at ths
idea of an income tax and ssys tbst
it we have an income tax, it will
mean the abolition ot tariffs and con
sequently tbe abolition of protection.
This Is one of his trick arguments.
Ths Government at ths present time
Is failing to raiss rsvenue for its nec
essary expenses by about $100,000,
000 per annum and au inooma Us
which would yisld about $30,000,000
to $50,000,000 would still be inade
quate even with ths tariff to raising
the necessary revenue for running
tbe Government.
Senator Aldrioh is working ovsr
time to convinoe his fsllow Bsnstors
that the rsvenue from an income tax
will not bs needed, and so tenderly
does be feel for ths millionaires of
ths oountry, that he is deliberately
trying to deceive ths country Into be
lievmg this nntrntb, which he knows
too well to be false.
Tbis wily old Senator, dsnlss that
ths country was promised a rsduo
tioo of the tariff, hs claims thai re
vision is all tbat was promised, and
while bs knows ths oountry ander-
stood tbst both parties promised to
"reduce,' he holds that revision
means a raising aa mnch as a lower
ing, and raisiug is what he lualsta,
as long aa it enables tbe monopolists
to gouge deeper and deeper into tbe
pockets of the common people, whiib
Abraham Lincoln aild God must
bsve loved or he would not bsvs
trade so many of them.
One thing however, about Congrem
that all people heartily endorse, and
that ia their desire to pass a tariff
bill quickly, aud gat away as soon
as possible, so tbe country can have
an era of quiet and rest.

As ths law stood Justices in surety
of the psaos complaints had little
Jurisdiction except to bind tbs de
fendant over to court. After an In
Ytatigation ins matter oftsn was
found to be trivial, perhaps with no
foundation mors tban a half con
eaalod or conditional threat. Both
parties were pat lo trouble and cost
and the county was affected. To rem
dy theM evils ths following act has
been passed and signed by tbs Uor-

his binding ovsr to ths nsxt term of

oftsi hastily and thoughtlessly
made ; and great costs unjustly put
upon ths several oonnties of tbe
Commonwealth by having trivial
oases sent to court, therefore, to rem
sdy this svtl,
Section 1. Bs It enacted, etc.,
That in all oases ot surety of the

Copies of a speech made by Hon.

yet, as a candidate against an avow
ed protectionist he, a free trader,
was elected by an overwhelming
majority. This statement was re.
ceived with vociferous applause on
tue ueinooratio side of the Hons.
An analysis of ths voto would nrob-
ably determine whether Mr. Palmer
was elected by the more intelligent
sunrages ot bis constituents or by
those who follow r DsrtT shlhhnlnth
regardless of beneficial effects. He
should remember tbat against him
was a candidate who oould not sneak
in a tone of voice loud enough to be
oeara even when bs whispered 'well
boys what will you have', to sav
nothing o' bis ability to avow his
protective sentiments in audible Inn-
gunge. While Mr. Palmer is blessed

"ore rotundo," or full utterance,
which enables him to fill an acre of
pure sther with resounding phrases.
