PLENTY OF ADVICE BUT NO MONEY FOR SHADE TREES CARE

So Says Prof. Thompson, City Forester, Who Declares Dead Limbs Should Be Cut Now. . "Ycm can get plenty of advice in Richmond about caring for the shade tree! and beautifying the town, but you can't get any money," Prof. John F. Thompson, city forester said today. He will recommend that men be employed to out all the dead limbs from the trees bordering sidewalks, bat he doubts if the board of works will expend the money. "In an investigation I made, I found that there are loads of dead limbs on the trees. If these can be cut now the trees can be saved," said Mr. Thompson. Mr. Thompson explained that limbs gradually become dead to the tree center unle.es cut off at the point where it is still alive. In that case it will soon heal and the tree will not le impaired. However, when limbs are allowed to deaden to the tree center, that also dies, and finally the tree Is beyond saving. Mr. Thompson believes coancil should appropriate money each year for the conservation of trees. As the mony in the general fund is usually in demand for other purposes, there is little chance of obtaining funds to carry on such work, he said. Park trees are kept in trim with money from the park fund, but this is not available for other purposes. For the Stomach and Liver. I. N. Stuart, West Webster, N.

WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR on DUD

In 1908 S. Edgar Nicholson was state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Pennsylvania. In that year's fall elections the state of Pennsvlvania elected a legislature, which convened

early in 1909 S. Edgar Nicholson, as state superintendent of the

Anti-Saloon Leaorue. had been

elect men to the legislature who would support local option legislation.

The legislature at that time was controlled by the Boise Penrose machine, which is notoriously corrupt and which has consist

ently and successfully opposed

liquor trade in Pennsylvania, which has more distilleries than any

other state in the union.

After the election the Penrose machine brought out John F. Cox as its candidate for speaker of the Pennsylvania legislature. The decent citizens of Pennsvlvania and the Anti-Saloon League

of that state were united in supporting the candidacy of Frank B.

McClain who had, as speaker of the House at the previous session, foucrht the liauor lobbv and had prevented, on the last night of

the previous legislature, that corrupt lobby from fraudulently jamming through a crooked liquor bill. As to John F. Cox, we quote from a public statement issued by S. Edgar Nicholson December 25, 1908, in the "Keystone Citizen," the official publication of the Pennsylvania Anti-Saloon League, printed at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, of which Nicholson was editor. He said: "Mr. Cox's candidacy was backed at the outset by Mr. Jim Mulvihill and other representatives of the liquor people. Denials have been made but denials do not change the facts. If you do not want the next Pennsylvania house organized in the interests of the liquor forces say so, and at once, to your representatives by letter or in person and get everybody else to do the same, protesting against the election of Mr. Cox or any other man de

manded by the liquor people. A great moral crisis Has I been reached if the behests of the liquor traffic must be I thus obeyed." ! Accompanying this appeal, S. Edgar Nicholson issued this statement on the same date, Christmas, 1908 : "Despite all denials the candidacy of John F. Cox for the speakership was at the outset fostered by the liquor people, and the tenacity with which he is kept in the race

is evidence that the liquor men are going to demand their pound of flesh to the last fraction of an ounce. Mr. Cox may, or may not, make a good speaker. This is not the question half so much as why the demand emanating from liquor sources for a friendly organization of the house must be obeyed." So on December 25, 1908, S. Edgar Nicholson knew all about Cox and what his election would mean and what influence was de-

jmanding his election. On Monday evening, January 4, 1909, the Pennsylvania legi islature was organized, and John F. Cox was elected speaker over I Frank B. McClain by a vote of 136 to 35. Commenting on this reI II II T-H ' 1 1 1 I T Al Al i : if 1 .

suit, tne rnnaaeipnia rsonn American, me ami-gang, umi-iiquor newspaper of Pennsylvania, said in its issue of January 5, 1909: "Not one vote of the 35 cast against Cox, the liquor seller's candidate, can be traced to the influence of the Rev. S. E. Nicholson, superintendent of the Pennsylvania Anti-Saloon League. The 35 at the wind-up were McClain's own loyal friends. This despite the PUBLICLY expressed hostility of Nicholson to Cox. Most of McClain's supporters were local option advocates but none of them a man Nicholson could swing. There naturally arises curiosity as to what happened at the quiet conference Nicholson held with Penrose yesterday at the latter's headquarters. The North American editorially reviewed the defeat of McClain who got only 35 votes, and called attention to the fact that when Nicholson came into the state of Pennsylvania to work for

temperance there were 96 votes in the legislature that could be counted upon for local option, which compared with the McClain

vote showed what had happened to the cause of temperance under Nicholson's regime as state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League. Naturally all of this did excite "curiosity." Now what hap

pened between December 25, 1908, and January 4, 1909, a space of ten days ? The investigation set on foot by this curiosity resulted

in the bringing to light on January 18, 1909 a letter, -which S. Edgar Nicholson himself had written, over his own signature Janu

ary 6, 1909 two days after the

he had marked "Strictly Confidential." This letter was written

to some of his clique in whom

dence. Nicholson not only marked the letter "strictly confidential," but in it he said: "I am writing you this in confidence, so far as the details are concerned, and think it will be well not to give all the facts to the public as yet." The full text of this "strictly confidential" letter of S. Edgar Nicholson in which he explained all the details of the election of Cox, the liquor candidate, but which he thought it would be best to keep from the public, was printed in the Philadelphia North

American of Monday, January 18, 1909, under the following headlines and story: SECRET LETTER BY NICHOLSON BARES HIS PENROSE DEAL

CONFESSION TELLS OF LOCAL OPTION'S BETKATAL INTO SENATOR'S HANDS.

Took the Tip and Became "Less Boisterous" in His to Cox.

"Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 17.

tiously marked "strictly confidential, the Rev. S. B. Nicholson, state superintendent of the Anti-Sal com League, has written an astounding confession of double dealing by which the cause of local option has been betrayed into the hands of Penrose. He tells of secret letters he wrote to Penrose, to W. R. Andrews, state chairman, and to George Oliver, the liquor interests' slated candidate for the United States senate. "He tells how he had a long, f riendly secret interview with Andrews, Penrose's secretary, and brother of the late Charlie Andrews, who was head of the state liauor lobby, on the Saturday preceding the opening of the legislature. "He tells how, on the Sabbath evening following, be spent hours in secret confab with Penrose himself and how they arranged the deal for the election of Speaker John F. Cox, representing the liquor crowd. "He tells how, at Penrose's wishes he was to become less boisterous in opposition to Cox, against whom the Anti-Saloon League had declared unequivocally because he was regarded as the tool of the liquor crowd. "He 'put on the brakes and he tells how he suggested, and Penrose agreed, that he (Nicholson) could not afford to openly endorse Cox, thereupon Penrose suggested that the League 'would still have to be in the attitude of opposing Cox.' "Further the Rev. Mr. Nicholson tells how his campaign of duplicity was carried out. He tells how the Anti-Saloon headquarters were crowded with legislators the next day, local option members seeking to learn the attitude of the League on the speakership; how he gave a pretended endorsement of Frank B. McClain but adding that 'the situation had materially changed ore night.' " In this "strictly confidential" letter written by S. Edgar NfcTa. olson over his own signature in his effort to explain the defeat of McClain, the anti-liquor man, and his secret support of Cox, the liquor candidate, he says in his first secret interview, "We talked over freely the situation, politically and otherwise. Speaking of his secret interview with Penrose, Sunday night, January 8, the night before Cox was elected, he says, over his own signature: "After covering practically the same ground that I had done with Chairman Andrews the evening before, and after the senator had made a good many explanations to me about political matters in the state and after stating the reasons which he termed political altogether, for taking up Mr. Cox as a candidate, and which I could understand in a new light, he announced what was to be the legislative program of the organization towards local option and the temperance question, which included fair treatment to the local option bill." But about six typewritten sheets farther on in this "strictly confidential" letter S. Edgar Nicholson writes: "I am willing to admit that in all probability the organization believes at this time that there are enough votes to kill the (local option) bill and for that reason they are willing to guarantee fair treatment. After discussing at length his secret Sunday night twrffafr with Penrose, S. Edgar Nicholsan goes on: "I then said that while appreciating mot fully what he had said to me, I could not see that we would be at all satisfied, even now with Mr. Cox's election, and he replied he thought we could not and we would still have to be in the attitude of opposing him. but added that he hoped we would not be too boisterous about it." He then writes that he thanked Penrose and promised to consider the matter. The next morning, the day of the election of the speaker, the members of the house whom Nicholson could control and who sought his advice came to him for counsel. He writes that he found fault with McClain and with Cox. and that he said if he were in the caucus himself he would vote for McClain, but to quote his own words in his "strictly confidential" letter: "I was compelled out of the spirit of fairness to them and to the cause, to say to all of them that the situation had changed over night, and that while my advice was as above stated, I was compelled, in justice, to say that I could not look upon Gov's election with the same degree of anxiety and consternation that I had done twenty-four - hours before." Now, go back to the beginning of this and read what S. Edgar Nicholson had to say of Cox on Christmas Day, 1908, just ten days before he said the above. The editor of the Item has been worried because he finds I have changed my opinions in five years. Perhaps he can explain why the leader of this Anti-Saloon League effort to turn the city over to the whiskey joints, changed his mind over night in the Pennsylvania speakership fight in the face of a great moral crisis-

In a letter which he
