The designation of April 17 as Arbor day by Governor Baldwin is in ac- with the statutory provision for the encouragement of tree planting. It is a day which has been observed for many years for the stimulation of interest in that par- ar direction, but it is open to se- rious doubt as to whether any more dea previous to its agitation. For the most part Arbor day has been left to the schools and the school children for the manifestation of the proper enthusiasm. Therein is to be | interest in setting | out shrubs, vines or trees, but further found more or les than that no organized effort i ad to have Arbor day serve the excellen ing and there are but few ind who show the proper attitude in ma ing tree planting a vearly duty. The spirit of Arbor ‘day can be carried out with magnificent most every community results in hroughout the vear there is a large number of trees which have to be removed for different reasons. Even though im- possible to put new ones in their places the bemefit of setling out somewhere a new tree for every one removed would reveal itself to every community within a few ye: In such & way many handsome drives and avenues can be planned and secured and a gen- eral improvement made in the entire city. The effort is one which looks to the beautification of every city, and | every section. Arbor day should be made the most of instead of neglected STRIKE FROM THE INSIDE. Ome of the most important declara- tions which have been made in connec- ton with the movement which has been undertaken for the geiting to. gether of the republican party forces in this state, is that which has been made by ex-Governor Woodruff when he states that it is from within and not from withcut that the effort should | come for the strengthening of par rganization. The need of the party realizing Its responsibility and its duty to itself Is emphasized when he that “whatever evils may exist in the | republican party should be attended to by members of the republican party without asking assistance from the members of any other par It is an affair with which republicans and r publicans alone should deal in my Judgment.” Bx-Governor Woodruff has set forth a truth in no unmistakable terms. Un- less the weaknesses are eliminated and an effort made from within to maintain an organization which will inspire con- fidence and attract support it must continue to fail to get the recognition which 1t deserves and which it would otherwise receive. Getting on the out- side and throwing stones, that some- one else may profit thereby is doing no good to the injured or to the thrower in the attainment of such objects as are mutually desired. What will ac- complish the most good is an earnest and united effort from within bent upon accomplishing whatever house- cleaning is necessary. The greater the distance between any political party and the evils which are apt to beset it the Dbetter for such an organization. The ex-governor has made a sugges- tion which goes to the bottom of the matter and should leave no doubt as to where he stands. NEED BETTER REGULATIONS. The anmouncement that the depos- itors in the Siegel department store bank are to receive about 14 1-2 per cent. of the money which they entrust- ed to that branch of the big business house is one of the many lessons which are constantly belng furnished for the guidance of people who have money which they wish to place at interest with assurance of safety, and for the ald of the state bank commissioners in obtalning edditlonal bank legisla tion. This instance reveais the weak- ness of legislation concerning banks privately conducted and which ds not come under stats supsrvision, It has pointed out a loophole which needs immediate attention and New York is not the only state which is realiz- ing the necessity of it, All such in- stitutions, whather they are private or chartered by the state or natien, which take the eernings of the people for pretection and e stfpalated rate of in- tesest shopid be so vegulated that the | of Canada in behalf of the peace move —‘ attention is paid to it today, after hav- | ng been an annual feature for a num- ber of years, than was given such an urpose for which it was intended. Few are the communities which man- ifest any interest at all in tree plant- viduals confidence of the depositors could not be so glaringly outraged. The people mneed to be protected from it the same as from a swindle. The Siegel revelation also calls at: tentlon again to the gullibility of the public and the willingness. to take chances with their money to get a slight advance in interest without rea- sonable assurance of the wisdom of the course. Because the offering is made attractive it is accepted with depend- business ability of the head of the con- such risks has been revealed to New York in a manner which should resuit in improved regulations for private banks, HELP THE CUTTER SERVICE. While the question of making gr er use of the vessels of the navy is being urged Senator Weeks of Massachusetts it must be realized that he has hit upon a matter which will win extensive approval. There are many who even believe that a great deal more benefit could be gained for the country if the same amount of money that is expended for the main- tenance of the navy was devoted to other purposes. Such an opinion is not shared by the Massachusetts senator, but he apparently believes in gelting full return for the investments in naval vessels and for that reason would put them to some commercial use during times of peace. Though it is possible to offer numer- ous objections to such an undertaking when it is suggested be used in the steamship because of the construction the expense of oper- ation and their ger unfitness for such work, it is not too much to b that they can be made excellent of during the winter s ular as an aid to the revenue cutter service. There are cutters in this ser- vice w h are comparatively new ves- sels and well prepared for the work required, but there are others which are not and in the saving ‘of life and property at sea they are called upon many times for heroic service which such vessels as the could render with a greater degree of safety, becat of ability to stand con- scout cruisers ditions which to older and less sea- worthy vessels mean great risk. Such a service would combine utility, safety and efficiency.
