BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "Am I my brother's keeper?" , j This Is the time o'year when this lit-1 tie Interrogatory thrown down the ages by our old friend Cain, begins to ! haunt the background of the conscious

ness of the civic beautifler and those religiously inclined. For the snow if not beginning to melt, will have to in the course of nature and thus reveal to the world ail the grime and general obnoxiousnesa of our streets and alleys. This town has a waste-paper ordinance but you wouldn't notice it exactly. This has been animadverted upon before but its worth another turn. How many people observe it? Very few if a windy day is to be taken-as any criterion. If you, yourself, carefully segregate all your waste paper in a covered box or barrel and conscientiously pick up

or have picked up all the odds and ends that float Into a well kept yard or lawn even with the most assiduous care, it causes you to literally foam at the mouth to heboid flurries and, later, avalanches, of dirty paper and other refuse sucked up into your own carefully looked after premises. This happens on every day when there is a brisk breeze, and when

there is a genuine big blow the air is full of debris from other people's backyards and the city alleys. There is no reason why this ordinance should not be rigorously enforced. The people who do observe It should not be Imposed upon by the people who don't. In many cities, notably Brooklyn, receptacles are found at intervals on the streets for the depositing of paper and other things thrown about and this should be done here. Many persons go along the streets carelessly throwing down peanut shells, apple-cores, scraps of paper, orange-skins, old letters, empty envelopes, banana peels and anything else that they happen to want to dispose of. Then there is the fiend who tears paper to small bits and strews it along the sidewalk. Also he who decorates the sidewalks and Its fringes with cigarette and cigar -stubs, dead matches and other incunabula. There also Is the beast who spits. Although, to do the town Justice, the ordinance against spitting in public places and on the side-walks is pretty fairly observed. It is not entirely so, however. Hence many places where people walk abroad are made distasteful and disgusting from this cause. If everybody united to keep the town clean, the thing could be accomplished in a day. Why wait until an officer comes round and compels you to observe an ordinance or law. Why not feel some Individual res

ponsibility? Some personal civic

pride?

This is your town. It doesn't belong

to the Mayor or the Council or the Board of Public Works, or the Democrats or the Republicans or the So

cialists or anybody else.

It belongs to you. Why sit scornfully apart and loftily say that you don't give the celebrated tinker's dam or damn. No-one has ever arisen to explain from just what part of the etomological pond the tinker fished his traditional appurtenance. Therefore whether to spell it profanely or not is left to the fancy of the individual. Anyway why not consider yourself a part of your own civic fabric and lend

a hand, or at least a countenance, to "movements" to advance things generally. If politics are so- '"dirty" why don't you help .clean 'em up since you admit your own superiority. Politics shouldn't be dirty, however. It, or they, should be the cleanest thing in the whole scheme of social procedure. Richmond, as has been said frequently of late, is in a fair way to lose her beauty through the destruction of her trees by the pig-headed and assinine policy of side-walk contractors and

certain property owners as well as by the officials having these matters in oversight. Why, in heaven's name, hew down trees that have taken a half century to attain their present state of perfection, just to make a straight line! Every fine tree in town should have been given leeway. One of the most splendid maples ever grown in Richmond on South Eleventh street was wantonly destroyed by the unwarranted action of a brute of a cement man who refused to wait until the house-holder telephoned to the city building to see if operations toward its annihilation could not be stopped. Before the householder had time to get a message from the city building the cement man had the tree so far,

I gone that the permission to bold the

matter up until an official could investigate was of no effect. Two beautiful elms, one in front of the residence of Mr. Harry Mather on South Eighth street, the other on South A to the left of Mr. Harmon Shofer's lawn, are dying through depredations of the cement and wire people. Two such trees in a foreign city would have been conserved with care. Such trees should be built around

very far around. A mere slight detour

in the walk makes no difference. If every-one in town would read the

fine series of articles on trees being written by Mr. John F. Thompson, of

the high school faculty, and published

in this paper, a tremendous amount of intelligent information about trees

would be acquired. Mr. Thompson is one of the best known authorities on trees in this section, is a leading edu

cator of the state aad hla' scholarly and enlightening treatise of this subject Is as admirable as it la available ! to every kvsal resident. - When we have a man living here in Richmond who is regarded as an acknowledged authority on trees and their care, why not "heed his admonitions?" Yon don't have to' write to some distant city for the opinion of an expert. Tou have an expert you can call up in the telephone. It Is said that the row of maples which lines the Reeves estate on South Sixteenth street, is in danger f demolition because some persons think a sidewalk should be built to conform to the line of that on the block above. If the city permits this row of splendid trees to be cut down it deserves no consideration from the outside in the Juture. Straight lines are not invariably beautiful. Frequently they are positively ugly. What law of society or nature calls for the hewing of these Incomparable examples of their tree class?

The right of the community is some

times dominant over that of the indi

vidual.

The citizens of this town should prevent this destruction if it is actually contemplated. The truth is that certain groves and

aggregations of trees ought to be pre

served 5n Eoine way.

The Reeves wood, in instance,

ought to remain intact.

It is made up largely of beeches and it would be a thousand pities to have it cut into. Another beech grove i3 that on the National and Henley Roads. There arc magnificent trees in this small wood and picturesquely placed. They should be kept together. A collection of sycamores on the North side of the National Road opposite the golf links should be preserved intact. Why don't some-one endow these groves instead of giving a lot of money to some institution? To return to the individual's responsibility toward his community some attention should be turned to dripping eaves, which "abut" on sidewalks and other public civic highways. In the North end one stretch on F street is made entirely unfit for walking in wet weather by the draining of the roofs in that section. Public com plaint of this nuisance has been long and loud. The property owners should be called to account and made to show on

what ground they are annoying the

residents of that vicinity who are forc

ed to use this street.'

Why should the anthorities permit

a street to be turned into a "rushing torrent":, and , made Impassable . in wet

weather just because some property owner is too lasy or stingy to put his premises into a condition where they will not constitute themselves a public nuisance?

Certainly Cain's little aphorism should be brought into play locally with no uncertain answer.

Soapsuds make the fruit trees grow.
