W. T. IRVINE, Jeweler (By J. H. Forrer, Supt.

La Crosse Parks.) The shade trees of our cities do not receive the full measure of appreciation which Is due them. Evidences of mistakes In planting and the work of the tree butcher are very common. The prevailing opinion seems to be that trees when once permanently planted take care of themselves, and when they develop their majestic branches these are ruthlesslessly cut out, the excuse being" that the tree is too large and needs trimming. Such an excuse is a very poor one Indeed, for what is more beautiful along the borders of any street than tall, beautifully proportioned and well developed shade trees? Unlike the other Improvements of a public nature, trees are an ever increasing asset to the property in front of which they grow. Pavements and walks dissintegrate from year to year, from traffic which takes place over their sufaces, and therefore they are items of additional expense from year to year In the way of repairs.

A tree on the other habd grows and therefore improves from year to year, and for the smalt time and ex pense which it needs It produces returns in beauty many hundred fold, The street trees of La Crosse for the greater number lack the necessary room for proper development, by ibeing grown too close together. In many Instances street trees are planted as close as ten feet. Cramped for room trees b6 grown cannot develop Into the well balanced out lines of specimen trees such as each one should be. They are as a result tall, lanky and poorly proportioned, and the beauty of the species la marred. Planting of Trees It would be difficult to correct conditions as they now exist and It would take years to do so.

However, in those sections of the city where little or no street planting has been done, provision should, be made to plant frees fully forty feet apart and only one variety of tree should be grown the entire length of any one street or avenue. If the community spirit does not exist, so that people cannot or do not get together and decide on the proper tree, the selection of the kind of tree to be planted should be made by the City Park Commission. Much good has resulted where the question of street trees has been controlled by city ordinances. The state legislature gives the right to all cities to pass such ordinances In regard to street trees, as may be desirable. Now, if the city council would provide, ordinances coverin: all the questions In regard to se lection, planting and care of stree trees, similar to those laws as established by the cities of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Illinois it will have made the first step In advancing the interests of the trees of the city.

The industrial organizations have done a great deal toward boosting the manufacturing interests of the city and in encouraging other industries to locate here. While all thb has been done for the city, at the same time the problem of making La Crosse a city of greater beauty should not be overlooked. In order to have trees that we can well be proud of we must provide first of all the proper protection for them. Plant Forty Feet Apart The future of a tree Is the first thing to be considered at the time of planting. It is of the first importance that the trees be properly spared, allowing room for the full development of its branches.

Forty feet between trees should be the rule that every tree planter should 'bear in mind, and as stated before, the trees along the entire street should all be of the same kind. Boulevards So planted present a neat and uniform appearance and impress the passerby with the spirit of community interest. In Illinois there is a law that shade trees must be planted forty feet apart. By acts of the legislature and city ordinances the Shade Tree Commission of cities of New Jersey have done very satisfactory work.

SPEAKER Jewish Orator Brought Here by Lodge Lights -Into Principles of Socialism David Goldstein, of Boston, who spoke on the Tactics of Socialism at Germania hall last evening under the auspices of the K.

of bitterly denounced the socialistic principals in regard to their stand on religion. Mr. Goldstein said that while the socialists claim that thej are independent of religion and that the socialist party is not connected with any religion In any way, they are strongly opposed to Christianity and that socialism is founded on principles opposed to religion. This.he says, is bv the socialist leaders who substantiate their statement by a clause from the national platform of 1908 -which says: The Socialist party is primarily an economic and political movement. It Is not concerned with matters of religious belief.

This is claimed by Goldstein to be a lie, not that the clause Is not inserted in the platform, but in the fact that the clause Itself Is an untruth. i This clause was Inserted, says Mr. Goldstein, with a hope of deceiving the public and with the ultimate object of securing votes. At the national convention when the delegates were drafting the platform they were divided as to whether or not to place the clause in the platform or to remain silent on the subject. When put to a vote the majority favored the clause although when discussing the advisability of inserting it previous to-the vote, the argument, says Mr.

Goldstein, centered, not on whether the clause lived up to ahe principles of the party but on the advisability of becoming hypo-crits by Inserting a lie in the national platform. This clause waa Inserted for the purpose of denying the statement that the socialistic principals are opposed to religion says Mr. Goldstein. The speaker 'said the Cathol'c church Is making a strong fight against socialism and thus the party loses a large number of Catholic votes. The hard knock that raises a lump Isnt half so bad as the one that leaves a dent.

The police today are watching all -of the citys hotels and railroad depots In the hope of apprehending the criminal adventurer of unusual daring who yesterday completed one of the most daring daylight robberies in the citys history.

With a brace of revolvers he entered Rectors, one of the exclusive restaurants In the heart of the city, cowed two employes, compelled them to fill his pockets with the contents of the cash drawers and the safe $3,3 02.25 and then walked out. He was unmasked and seemed well acquainted with the methods of the cafe. The police today expressed the belief that while the robbery was committed single handed, the stick up man had three accomplices. Four men are said to have left the restaurant entrance immediately after the holdup. The only clewB possessed by, the police are a street car transfer and a half chewed cigar which the lone handed robber left behind.

RUSSIAN LIAR AN ARCH MURDERER? ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 6. Despite his many confessions to the murder of Count Vassilli Bouturlin by the administering of diphtheria germs. Dr.

Ivan Pantchenkoa chances escaping heavy punishment are considered good today. The prosecution, completely upset by Pantchenkos repudiation of his confessions, today began a determined effort to prove that letters purporting to have been written to Pantchenko by Count OBrien de Bas-sy, Bouturlins brother-in-law and the alleged Instigator of the latters murder, were actually written on de Lassys typewriter. These letters deal with the contemplated murder of Bouturlin but are written in such guarded language that they are be lieved to be damaging against the prisoner and de Lassy only in the event that the confession stands. The belief is growing that'Pant-chenko, instead of being the greatest murderer of modern times is merely the greatest modern romancer. NO NEW TRIAL FOR MVLIUH LONDON, Feb.

6. An adverse decision on the appeal of Edward Mylius, sentenced to one ycbrs imprisonment, for libelling King George is considered Mylius did not defend the case there appears to be no ground for appeal. fitiS of these organizations which by tL way are under the direction of fa-park board, or work in conjunction with it. Diagrams specifying the needs of the sh4de trees and conditions under which they will grow are Issued to all who contemplate the planting of street trees. The Commission also decides the kind of tree, and the exact spot where it should be planted.

Thus the questions of unity and harmony are settled at once and for all time. In the selection of the kind of tree for planting on any street, the width of the thoroughfare, conditions of soil, and nearness of the houses to the street lines, must be carefully considered. The good judgment of the Shade Tree Commissioners is carefuly exercised, and the interests of all in the cause of -good shade trees are well taken care of. Then again only men who are competent to do planting and do it correctly, men who have studied trees and know their individual needs are delegated to care for them. Lack of Knowledge Every man who engages in tree work, knows that an intense love for trees exists in every man, woman and child, but there seems to be ai lack of knowledge as to the "planting And proper care of trees, and this Accounts for the many disappointments, the result when the novice does the work.

Every tree worker must have a thorough understanding of the habit of tree growth, and must 'be familiar with all the tissues of a tree from the heartwood to the outer bark. Without this knowledge the tree worker will never produce satisfactory results. This lack of knowledge accounts for so many cases of tree butchery, and this done by men who know little or absolutely nothing about tree work, and in the practice of the profession they foist their services upon the unsuspecting property owner who supposes that these men know their business, and nothing Is done to prevent butchery, from which the tree never fully recovers. Severe pruning is to be severely condemned every time. If necessity, however, demands the removal of a largo branch there is a right and a wrong way of the operation.

Here it is that the knowledge of the tree expert shows itself, and the work of so done that the tree will readily heal the wound caused by the operation. A protruding stub will never heal over, and gradually dies hack to the main stem. At the same time the elements have opportunity to do unforBeen damage. The settling of moisture Into the tissues of the slowly decaying heartwood makes conditlohs ideal for the entrance of fungus rot, which is eventually carried into the heart of the tree. There unnoticed, and hidden the work of destruction continues until the supporting strength of the tree is undermined as it were, and then a storm blows down the tree, the splintered ends revealing the conditions which caused its unexpected end.

Then comes the realization that it will take years to produce a similar stately tree. The department of parks is at ail times willing to co-operate with citizens in regard to the care of their shade trees. The necessary work on trees in the parks will be started toward the latter part of February and the men who are to do this work will be thoroughly instructed, and the work done under careful supervision. Butchery of trees will not be tolerated, and there will be no eiidence of it. Wherever it is deemed "best to save a tree wlch has become more of less decayed, the cavities will be cleaned and filled with cement.

This is an operation must- be understood. for if It is not done e. nr- SOCIALISTS REPLY TO K. 0. SPEAKER R.

C. McCalpb Quotes Bible By Their Fruits Yc Shall Know Them, in Retort Referring tT the speech of David Goidstein, anti-socialist lecturer, brought to La Crosse by the Knights of Columbus lodge, and "who delivered a -denunciation of socialism at Germania hall yesterday afternoon, R. C. McCaleb, leader of the socialistic movement in this section of the state, said today: Goldstein attacks us on moral issues. The Bible says: 'By their fruits ye shall know them.

Goldstein was brought here by the Knights of Columbus to attack socialism. Our chief of police and our city attorney are both Knights of Columbus the houses of prostitution are still running. That is all we have to say. rectly the tree will not be benefited, and destruction continues. Cement filling should never be attempted by the novice unless he be thoroughly acquainted with the growing tissues of the tree.

Tree renovation can he carried on until the buds are beginning to advance their leaves, when all tree operations should cease immediately.1 Work on street trees will be done for private individuals at actual cost, and there need be no fear" but the work will be dope by men who know how to do tree work In the best manner possible. It is to be hoped that the welfare of bur city trees will appeal to every man, woman and child, and that all 'will encourage needed and much desired legislation so that the good work may go on in tfle interests of La Crosse as a city beautiful, a city of parks and fine trees.
