53 trees, each named for a fallen soldier, our waysides, our
door-yards and our pleasure places.
Started in Nebraska soon after the Civil war, Arbor
Day has come to be observed by almost all the states. Wit
the growing sentiment in favor of planting trees as es
jpecially suited to commemorate the young, growing hu
man beings who lost their lives in this last year, the Sec
retary's suggestion should meet with warm response.
It is suggested also That schools and public combine
in observance of the day, and that a general interest be
'stimulated in this simple form of memorial so well cal
culated to keep memory green among every-day surroundings.

A DOUBT--AND AN ANSWER.
A man who questions the usefulness and efficacy of
a League of Nations has this to say:
"I cannot see any benefit to be derived from the mix
up with all sorts of nations and peoples. Better keep out,
stay at home and attend to our own business."
This seems to be the point of view of most of those
who onnose the League idea. It is rather well answered
bv Walter Lippman in the New Republic:
"The three problems presented by Germany, Russia
and the intervening border states do not exhaust the per
plexities which victory has brought to the victors. One
has only to mention Turkey and China. But these prob
lems do indicate how pressing and practical is the need for
an international organization by which the world can be
administered into an era of stability. No one who har
grasped those problems as they press upon mankind can
persist in the idea that peace consists in signing a treaty,
shaking hands with the Allies, and returning home to gaze
in rapt admiration at the Monroe Doctrine.
"I know this feeling quite well. I have shared it, and
have wondered whether anything could be done with that
iangle of memories which so often seems to be the mind of
Europe.
''Perhaps nothing can be done. Perhaps the memor
ies and the appetites are too strong to save the world from
a period of despair. Perhaps the men who are meeting
so secretly in Paris are too much divided to use the isntru
ment of co-operation which they have framed. We shili
know soon whether they have made a peace upon which i
league can operate. But they shall not be able to say that
they failed because America failed them, and that the dis
honor in hers. They shall not be able to claim that the
peace of the world was shattered because the strongest
and safest of all was too timid to help them."

"Am I my brother's keeper?"

RIPPLING RHYMES
By Walt Mason
HOME TO ROOST.
All evil things come home to roost, and cause much
anguish and distress; so I give righteousness a Iroost,
through selfish motives, more or less. A man must have
a fair renown if he'd enjoy his journey here; must have
high credit in his town, and in tne country far and near.
A chap may think he'll put across, unmarked, some little
crooked game; but all his profits are a loss for he has
soiled his snowy fame. Some day when he would make
the race for coroner or county clerk, his misdeed swats
him in the face, and spoils long years of good'y work. I'm
eld and full of virtue now, but never do I cease to hear of
how I kidnapped Johnson's cow, upon a distant bygone
year. I stand up in the Sabbath school, and hand out saws
and maxims fine, and while I thus expound and drool, I
hear kids whisper, "Johnson's kine !" I might be honored,
now I'm gray, and have a halo o'er my brow, but for that
dark and fateful day when I eloped with Johnson's cow.
We say a man can live it down, if he should cheat or lie
or steal, but tetter is the white renown that has no blem
ish to conceal. The evil birds are all unloosed in our old
age, a noisome host, and they come flying home to roost,
just when the blamed things hurt the most.

we firmly believe they will be even better. Do
