"Spare the Tree." If you should come home some evening and discover a stranger digging a hole through your roof, you probably would not waste any words with him. If you are like the average man or woman you would take very hasty steps to get hold of that man and you might even go so far in your anger as to break a bone or two in his body. Why is it then you look with so much indifference on the vandals who come along destroying your shade trees? Your shade tree is necessary just as your house roof is. It also adds to the value of your property, and wantonly destroying it is as bad a piece of business as digging a hole in your roof. It was a good move by the Board of Works when it decided last Thursday to take steps to save the shade trees of Richmond. Considering the value of the trees involved and the rapid rate at which they are now being destroyed, there are very few things which the city administration can do that are more necessary or more laudable. We have a superintendent of parks. This is a wise thing and bespeaks our business sense and our civic pride. No taxpayer, however grouchy he may be, will for a single moment want to abolish the department of parks. But why isn't a tree growing along the street as much entitled to a superintendent as a tree growing in Glen Miller? The maples growing on
Main street are worth just as much as the maples i growing in the Tenth Street park. Nobody can i cut a maple tree down in that park without per- j mission of the superintendent. Why should any- j body be permitted to :k at a maple on Main i street without permission from some other su-j perintendent ? j If we can have a forester put into office well j equipped in the knowledge of trees and how to take care of them and panoplied "with the legal authority which he would need, we can save to! Richmond hundreds of thousands of dollars in j
trees. Many of those which are now being hollowed out by decay can be saved if they are gone at in time. And hundreds of others which are going to be butchered and destroyed during the next year or two can be saved. The citizen who wants to take some part in the public life of the city will find few things more worth his while than to interest himself in the saving of our shade trees. And there are few things which the members of the Board of Works will 'more appreciate than to have you actively co-operate with them in this great work.
has been guilty of ariznes continental in scope, but it will escape the penalties of law. It is such things as this that give foundation to the arguments of those who aver that property interests are above law. It is such as this and not the rhodomontade of frothy agitators that have brought on our present crisis. And when the high and mighty have so little respect for the rules and laws of a modern civilized state, what can we expect of the disinherited, the discontented and the depressed? To this great wholesale injustice committed on the open stage of our public life, and many others just like it, we respectfully call the attention of those who spit out fiery epithets against the thousands of reformers and agitators that rebel against such a state of things. Of course, the upholstered friends of the big railway system are giving a great many explanations of how it all happened. But these explanations do not explain. They are unloaded on the public mind in the same way and for the same purpose that the squib ejects its cloudy fog when its foes approach. Their explanations are couched in the recondite language of high finance. They may satisfy themselves but they will not satisfy a public which has had the cold facts laid before it by such a body as the Interstate Commerce Commission. Big business is its own worst enemy. As rapidly as it can it is hanging itself, and it, more than any other, is to blame for the public suspicion under which it now labors. Until it shows works meet for repentance it will continue being held under suspicion.
MISS SCOTT HERE Librarian Discusses ProWary Changes for Richmond. Miss Carrie B.

Big Anarchists. The Interstate Commerce Commission has just made public its findings in regard to the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, which corporation it has been exhaustively investigating for some time. The upshot of the commission's report is nothing else than that this great railway systen has deliberately and of plan deceived the American public as to its financial standing and methods of operation. In its printed reports, the railway expanded its 1910 income by more than $5,000,000. This was done in order to attract more capital.. Subsequently and under other circumstances, it reported a $2,000,000 decrease in income in order to create public sentiment in favor of increased freight rates. The Puget Sound railway, which belongs to 1 he St. Paul system and under the same control, swelled its income report for 1910 more than $2,000,000. It also reported a valuation $100,000.000 in excess of its cash investment. The St. Paul system also claimed a great increase in labor expense. As a matter of fact in 1911 its cost for labor was $500,000 less than in 1910. These, with a number of other items, form the indictment which the Interstate Commerce Commission has made against the system. If some soap-box agitator had made these statements, we might be inclined to think them ungrounded or exaggerated, but coming as they do from the nation's Interstate Commerce Commission, there is no chance of explaining them away. The facts made public show that the railway company obtained money under false pretense. It deliberately cheated the public. It made a cold-blooded attempt to override the laws of the land in its own interests. When Emma Goldman does this, we call it anarchy. When a railway system does it, we call it well, de won't often call it anything, but it is anarchy just the same. Strange to say, this thievery on a vast scale will escape punishment by law. When a southern negro stole a dime from a white girl and forced her to kiss him, a judge sent the young reprobate to the penitentiary for thirty years. When a half-starved man out of work in Dayton stole a coil of copper wire from the People's Railway company of that city, he was sent to the penitentiary for two years. This railway company
Shall the Guest House Fail ? The devoted women who have been promoting the Geust House have investigated widely, have spent evening after evening in deliberation, and many of them have toiled unstintedly for the cause at all times of the day and night and in all sorts of weather. How disheartening then to wind up the long campaign of two years' labor of love $9,000 short the necessary amount! It is a disheartening thing for them to drink, not of the cup of defeat, but of bitter discouragement, but they must not feel that this result reflects the verdict of the community as a whole. Men and women of all creeds and classes have struggled for it. The whole town believes in it. The whole town wants it. The discouraging result of the week's campain simply means that the public has not fully realized just what the Guest House stands for. It has not yet come to understand how badly the right kind of a home is needed by Richmond's working girls. It is not yet understood how much Richmond women need a social headquarters for themselves and all their various activities. It does not yet deeply feel how unjust it is in not furnishing the girls and women of the town the same privileges it has already accorded the men and boys. The women who have toiled for the project with no other than the most unselfish motives, must not be downhearted. In reality, Richmond is behind them. Eventually it will support them. Let them but hang on a bit longer and work a short time more as loyally as they have in the past and they will receive the amount still lacking. No doubt this means more hardships, more toil to the midnight, more weary tramping from street to street, but only with such toil and with such sacrifice is any worthy work accomplished. It is the way of the world. The wreath of achievement crowns the cross of sacrifice. "Be strong! Wo are not here to play, to dream, to drift, We have hard work to do, and loads to lift. Shun not the struggle, face it, 'tis God's gift. "Be strong! Say not the days are evil who's to blame? And fold the hands a sacquisce O shame! Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God's name. "Be strong! It matters not how deep intrenched the throng, How hard the battle goes the day, how long; Faint not, fight on! Tomorrow comes the song."

The colors were yellow and black. Two contests were a principal feature of the evenings entertainment. One of these was determining who was the laziest man In . the neighborhood. There were three ) candidates, Frank Connelly, Chas. j Dailey and Samuel Wlllitts. Samuel 1 Willitts received the most votes and '. received as his favor a very beautiful white cake. The amount of this con- ! test was $9.50. The other was guees- j lng the number of pieces of candy in a jar. The best guess was 416. This j amounted to $1.75. The next feature t
was the selling of the boxes provided i
by the ladies. The highest price box brought $4.
