ers Thinks it would Be a
Good Plan for County to
Plant Trees Along Roads.
AN EXPERIMENT WAS
MADE ON ONE ROAD
County Trees on New Paris
Pike Not Entirely Satisfac
tory, Having Been Planted
Much Too Close.
The conservation of the county's natural resources by the planting of trees along its highways is being ad
vocated by many local citizens, who are much Interested in this subject,
which was almost immortalized by ex 'President Roosevelt. It is being ar
gued that if railroads and other great corporations, as well as the nation and the state, see the value of planting trees, the county government should
follow so good an example.
In this county there are but a few
miles where trees are planted on elth er side of the various roads. The coun
ty has tried the experiment in only one Instance. This Is along the New 'Paris pike east of the city, where for
a few hundred yards trees are grow.

any other trees, with the exception of those planted in Richmond and the
county towns, and cared for by the
citizens. These trees are trimmed ditches to either side of the road fill

Views of Wiley. In speaking of this means of con
serving the county's wealth Mr. Wiley
stated that the trees along the New
Paris pike are planted rather close to
gether and during the rainy periods of the year the shade is so dense that It
requires a, long time for the roadway
to dry out. In this respect, Mr. Wiley
rbelleves that the trees are a damage
to the road as they keep It too damp.

modified for the public good, and to be Interpreted for the public good.
One of the great reasons why President Roosevelt's administration was
of such enormous value to the plain
American was that he understood what St Paul meant when he said: "The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." To follow blindly the letter of the law. or the form of an institution, without intelligent regard both for its spirit and for the public welfare, is very nearly as dangerous as to
disregard the law altogether. What we need is the use of the law for the public good, and the construction of it for the public welfare.
Law Is Supreme. It goes without saying that the law
lis supreme and must be obeyed. Our civilization rests on obedience to law.
But the law is not absolute. It requires to be construed. Rigid con
struction of the law works, and must
work, in the vast majority of cases,
for the benefit of the men who can
hire the best lawyers and who have the sources of influence In law-making
at their command. Strict construction necessarily favors the great interests
las against the people, and in the long
run can not do otherwise. Wise execution of the law must consider what the law ought to accomplish for the
general good. The great oppressive trusts exist because of subservient
lawmakers and adroit legal construc
tions. Here is the central stronghold
of the money power In the everlasting conflict of the few to grab, and the many to keep or win the rights they
were born with. Legal technicalities seldom help the people. The people, not the law. should have the benefit
I of every doubt.
Equality of opportunity, a square
deal for every man, the protection of
I the citizen against the great concentrations of capital, the intelligent use
of laws and Institutions for the public
good, and the conservation of our
national resources, not for the trusts, but for the people; these are real Is-

the simple things are tle things to
work for. More than that, we are coming to see that the plain American
citizen is the man to work for. The
imagination is staggered by the mag
nitude of the prize for which we work. If we succeed, there will exist upon this continent a sane, strong people,
living through the centuries in a land subdued and controlled .for the service of the people, its rightful masters, owned by the many and not by the
few. If we fall, the great interests
increasing their control of our natural
resources, will thereby control the country more and more, and the rights
of the people will fade into the privi leges of concentrated wealth. Unwearied Absorption.
There could be no better illustration
of the eager, rapid, unwearied absorp
Hon by capital of the rights which be
long to all the people than the water
power trust, not yet formed but in rapid process of formation. This
statement is true, but not unchalleng
ed. We are met at every turn by the
indignant denial of the water power
interests. They tell us that there Is
no community or interest among them, and yet they appear year after
year at these congresses by their paid
attorneys, asking for your influence
to help them remove the few remain
ing obstacles to their perpetual and
complete absorption of the remaining
water powers. They tell us it has no significance that the general electric interests are acquiring great groups
of water powers in various parts of
the United States, and dominating the
power market In the region of each group. And whoever dominates power, dominates all industry. Have you
ever seen a few drops of oil scattered
on the water spreading until they
formed a continuous film, which put
an end at once to all agitation of the
surface. The time for us to agitate
this question is now, before the sep
arate circles of centralized control
spread Into the uniform, unbroken
Nation-wide covering of a single gl
gantlc trust There will be little
chance for mere agitation after that.
No man at all familiar with the situation can doubt that the time for effec
tive protest is very short. If we do
not use it to protect ourselves now,
we may be very sure that the trust
will give hereafter small consideration
to the welfare of the average citizen
when in conflict with Its own. Man Who Counts.
The man who really counts is the
plain American citizen. This is the
man for whom the Roosevelt policies
were created, and his welfare is the end to which the Roosevelt policies lead. As a Nation we are fortunate
at this time in this fact above all oth
ers, that the great man who gave his
name to these policies has for his successor another great presid ent whose administration is most solemnly pledg
ed to the support of them.
I stand for the Roosevelt policies
because they set the common good of
all of us above the private gain
some of us; because they recognize the livelihood of the small man as
more important to the Nation than
the profit of the big man; because
they oppose all useless waste at pres
ent at the cost of robbing the future
because they demand the complete,
sane, and orderly development of all our natural resources, not fssjretting our rivers; because they Insist upon equality of opportunity and denounce
monopoly ' and special privilege; because discarding false Issues, they
deal directly with the vital questions
that really make a difference with the
welfare of us all and most of all. be
cause in them the plain American al
ways and everywhere holds the first place. And I propose to stand for them while I have the strength to stand for
anything.

improvement will involve 1,500,000
cubic yards of excavation, and the
installation of 25.O0O yards of masonry and the removal of twenty grade

These improvements have been ren

a large amount of coal and coke from the West Virginia coal fields is used.
The cost of this undertaking will be

The old lady Is nervous and has a weak heart, so Etta sent her out Sunday night to call on a neighbor, while she got ready for the burglars. As a souvenir of a trip to Coney Island she had one of those 5 cent baby squawkers which when blown into yields a noise that is a cross between a child yelling "Mamma, mamma" and an argument between two tomcats on the back fence at midnight. That fiendish noisemaker was the main part of her device. A bicycle tire pump completed the alarm and it worked like a charm. The police are now looking for the two ice cream soda customers.
