NATIONAL FAME OF AUGUSTA’S TREES The following notice of Augusta appears In the Christian Science Monitor, lh- dally paper of Boston published in the interests of this cult: Augusta, Ga., Is without doubt one of the most attractive cities in the South, and this Is due more than anything else to the state ly old trees that line every street in the city, says the Little Hook (Ark.) Gazette, Augusta has great wide streets which add much to the beauty of the city, but these broad thoroughfares would not he particularly attractive wore it not for the wealth of foliage which lines them on both side and fills the parkways In the center. Even Broad si root, the principal business thoroughfare, which is aid to he the widest street. In the United States, is lined with rxees through the heart of the bucineas section, and has a parkway in its center, excepting in the ve-y heart of the city. Greene street, run ning parallel with Broad afreet and two blocks farther south. Is another broad thoroughfare with parkway In the center and .Ines of magnificent trees on either side. The city council apparently appreciates the value of the city's trees, for it has created a tree and park commission, which pays particular attention to the care of the trees, not only in the two public parks, hut throughout the entire city. This may he pointed to as Illustrating the value of municipal es thetic ism ;,s an advertising asset. This simple little story, told aa a mat- D r of Information for the public, will gain -our city favorable considera tion on the part of a large circle of readers. *lt Is the apoutaneouit tri buto to one of the charms of our city of one who has fallen under Its t poll, as all must do who have the chance to observe It. And It. gives us just cause to feel proud of our beautiful city. Hut. this handsome tribute to one of the charms of our city must also bring a feeling of self condemnation and shame to all observant AuguMans, for to receive unmerited credit must lead to such feeling. When we are credited with paying “particular attention to the care of all the trees throughout the entire city” we know hut too well that this Is giving us credit for a virtue which we do not exercise. A tree and park commission wo have, all right enough. Probably they do the best they can under t.h o circumstances. But after doing this the fact remains that our trees are so poorly cared for that most of the smaller ones arc allowed to he irreparably injured. Horses are allowed to eat them at will, and there are few of the voungor trees In the city that have not been thus damaged, and very many of them to such an extent that they can never grow to well developed treehood, and must aland as Ktunted, 111 shapen dwarfs until some wind breaks them off. For the stately trees we have of the present generation deserve no credl'. They are a heritage to us of those who lived before us. We have done little to transmit to those who shall succeed us the wealth of trees which was transmitted to us. Our city has spent thousands of dollars planting trees In recent years, but we have little to show for this outlay except the mutilated wrecks of what might have grown into line trees. And all because we do not deserve the praise bestowed upon us by a generous stranger, that we pay particular, or any other kind of attention to the core of our trees through the city. Our old trees decay and die. This Is Inevitable. Every j'ear some old arhorlal landmarks succumb to the tooth of time. Unless young trees are planted and allowed to grow as these old trees grew, the time will conn- whin this glory of our city will have departed from it. We do not fully realise what the value of our fine trees is to our city. Much notices as Ihe above should serve to Impress their value upon us. The trees of the city should receive better protection and care than Is being given them. HARMFUL AND RENEFICIAL SPECULATION Gov. Hughes, the great reform governor of New York and the uncompromising enemy of gambling, has received the report of the com mittee which lie appointed to Investigate speculation In securities and commodities and to report what changes In legislation would he advis able for the protection of investors. What the governor thinks of the report has not as yot been indicated. This committee was composed of ten men of recognized ability, and held to he well qualified for the tnsk in hand. This committee made an exhaustive Investigation and brought in a voluminous report. What cvci this report may he to Gov. Hughes, to the average citizen It can not he otherwise than disappointing. For there Is In (his report no suggestion of relief from the evil that was investigated. Some recommendations aro made as to laws re lating to some minor details, hut no drastic laws arc suggested for tho looting out of Ihls evil. The eommltfee begins its summing up by the declaration that "The problem, wherever speculation Is sirongl.v rooted, is to eliminate that which la wasteful and morally destructive, while retaining and allow ing free play to Unit which is beneficial. The difficulty in ihe solution of tin problem lies in the practical Impossibility of distinguishing what Ik virtually gambling from legitimate speculation.” The line of dcmnrkution between "wasteful and morally destructive” and "benefi cial" speculation being so hazy and Indistinct, no effort was made by the committee to locate It definitely. Hence no practical suggestion, in the line of the reform that was sought, could be made. Margin trading, one form of speculation regarded as gambling pure and simple by Ihe layman, Ih approved by the committee. In regard to ll they say: "Purchasing securities on margin is as legitimate a trans action as a purchase of any other property In which part payment Is de ferred * We therefore see no reason whatsoever for recommending the radical change suggested, that margin trading he prohibited." The greatest disappointment In the report will, howovor, be caused by wluil It contains about gambling In futures. On this subject the report says: "The silling of agricultural products for future delivery has been the subject of much controversy In recent years. A measure to pro hibit such selling, known as tho Hatch Anti-Option bill, was debated at great length In congress during tho years 1X92, 18911, and 1894 Al though II passed both house and senate In different forms, it was finally abandoned by common consent. As shown hereafter, similar legislation in Germany has proved Injurious; and when attempted by our states it lms either resulted dotrlmentnjly or been Inoperative. The subjoot was exhaustively considered by the industrial commission of congress which m 1901 made an elaborate report (Vol. VI), showing that selling for fu ture delivery, based upon a forecast of future conditions of supply amt demand, Is an Indispensable part of the world’s commercial machinery, by which prices are. as far aH possible, equalized throughout the year to the advantage of both producer and consumer. The subject is also treated with elearnsss and Impartiality in the Cyclopedia of American Agriculture. iu an artlolo on "Speculation and kSirm Prices;" where It is shown that since tho yearly supply of wheat, for example, matures within a comparatively short period of time, somebody must handle and store the greni bulk of It during the Interval between production and con sumption. Otherwise the price will be unduly depressed at the end of one harvest and correspondingly advanced before tho beginning of an other. "Buying for future delivery causes advances In prices; selling short tends to restrain Inordinate advances, In each ease there, must be a buyer and a seller and the Interaction of their trading steadies prices. Speculation thus brings into the market a distinct class of people pos sessing capital and special training, who assume the risks of holding and distributing the proceeds of the crop* from one season to another with the minimum of cost to producer and consumer.” While what Is called hedging,'' also treated In the report, la legiti mate business, this is quite different from the ordinary dealing in fu tures, which does not contemplate the actual delivery of the goods, but is betting or gambling pure and simple on the future price of these commodities. Whatever may be the technicalities of existing la vs, and whatever the conclusion of experts arrived at after an exhaustive nffi ctal Investigation, tl remains that dealing in futures, causing fluctu ations in the price of staple commodities by tho manipulation of men who neither produce nor actually hold them. Is wrong. Governor Hughes appears to have made a mistake In the selection of hts committee CUBA’S DEBT TO SPAIN While Cuba was a Spanish province she became a heavy debto to Spain When our country Interfered and whipped Spain to make her give Independence to t’ubo, this debt amounted to about $400,900,000. The hill for this amount has now been presented by Spain to Cuba, with the polite Invitation to please rom it at once." This adds to the troubles of (tuba Libre. She husn’t money enough In her treasury to pay her cur ent expenses, with so many patriots so anxious ta serve thetr country that they must be given an office to pro vent them from starting a revolution; and she has nothing with which to pax*the $10,000,000 she owes us for twice “estortng order in the Is l;*nd. \nd now comes this old debt of $400,000,000 to add to her per plexities. It ;s an honest debt atl right, as such debts go Neither can it he olainn'd that the freeing of the Island liquidated the debt. Spnln agreed to the independence of t'uba because we demanded it. and she was not in a position to turn down the demand. But nothing was said about this debt, and Us status remained unchanged. Cuba owed It In IX9B, and she owes It now, with intereai added to date. What is to he done about the settlement 'of this debt is a question to perplex Cuban statesmen and ot hens. Of course it is impossible for Cuba ever to pay tt In .> dor to get It off the books It would seem w. ll ta establish a national bankruptcy system, by which a nation like an Individual can go Into bankruptcy, pay so much on the dollar as may he -ivreed upon hv the court, and start over anew with a clean sheet. Vml not (or Cuba alone hut for other nations as well would such a system come a- a great relief, by the way their Indebtedness is piling up. and tt scents to be the mtv post! hie way of relief that is in sight for several of the debt burdened countries. THE AUGUSTA HERALD A MOLE HILL AND A MOUNTAIN Protection Costs $5,000,000 a Year on Jute Bagging and $5,000,000 a Week on Clothing The farmers of the South complain bitterly against the tax on tagging and ties, but have little to say about the tax on clothing, blankets, bedding and other similar textiles. Senator Clay says the tariff on bagging costs the farmers of the South $5,000,000 a year. That is bad, but not as bad as the tariff on clothing, which costs them nearly $5,000,000 a week. There are several ways of looking at the tax on bagging and ties, but only one way of looking at the tax on clothing. The farmer is the ulti mate consumer of the clothing he uses. The tax he pays on it Is money gone forever. He cannot pass it down to anyone else. It is his loss in its entirety. He does not complain about, it, however, because It is taken from him on the quiet, and he doesn’t know how much he is paying. But* the farmer can pass down to the consumer the tax that, is required of him on bagging and ties. It is probable that the price of cotton is slightly increased by the tariff on bag ging and ties, which slightly increases the cost of production and of market ing. But if one does not. look below the surface could an tone wish a better profit than the farmers get for their bagging and ties. They cost about $1.50 per hale as bagging and ties, and are sold, often the same day they THE WHISKEYLESS DRUNK OF TEXAS It is not easy to get ahead of ! Texas in anything. Within a few | days after the chemist of the Berke | ley University in California an nounced his discovery of a process to 1 produce drunkless whiskey by the ex traction of the synamide which is found in all regulation rye and Hour | Pon goods, the startling information i came from Texas htat any citizen of that state by merely chewing the ! peyote bean can enjoy a whisky;,less drunk which because of its staying qualities and intensity discount every thing heard or dreamed of in tho line of variegated jags. Wo are told that the p'eyote bean is callable of producing a drunk of the granda flora type which not only lints a man through more different kinds of paces than he ever' im agined were possible, hut it remains i with hltn for many days, unless a ! separation is secured by the efforts of a hard-working physician.

Mrs. Smith made a charming ! escape lit one of the season's latest kimonos. It was of pure china silk with a pretty flower effect; ankle length and gored lu the back. It can be made with slight expense, and is very pretty. The Sirfithk have a late ly home, and it is too bad that It was burned so badly. The firemen were becomingly garbed in blue suits and full-cut red blouses. Tho weath er was delightful for an affaif of the kind. The effort of a big man with a horn was a pleasing feature. Mr. Smith was not present. He is in New York City ns was mentioned In our comlng-and-going column today. There was lots of excitement. After awhile the fire was put out. Because of the fire. Mrs. Jones, of No. 374 Dash street, opened her house for Mrs. Smith and her two children, one a bright little hoy of eight, and the other a lovely girl of live. The expression waa -Heard upon ali sides that it was a most suc cessful event. Somebody said that the nffair would cost $2,000. —The Bo hemian. HERALD ECHOES She Should Leavitt Alone.

If #e are taking only a surface view, is not this profit of 100 per cent ip one day a pretty handsome return? The bagging and ties on a bale of cotton weigh about thirty pounds, and cost about $1.50 —5 cents par pound. The cotton is sold after the bagging and ties are put on for more than 10 cents per pound, and of course the weight of the bale includes tho weight of the bagging and ties, which the former thus sells for twice as much as he gives for them. But this is considered by the buyer in fixing the price, and he gives a shade less for cotton with the bagging and ties on it than he would give If It could be delivered to him uncov ered? We admit this is true, but is it not also true that, he pays a little more for cotton with the tariff on bagging and ties than he would if there were no duty on them? If one of these circumstances is taken into consideration the other is too. So we have the spectacle of the far mers and their representatives rais ing a big howl about a tax of $5,000,- 000 a year on which they pay out money, and get most of it back, hav ing little to say about a tax of $5,- 000,000 a week, which they pay with out. getting any of it back. “What fools these mortals be.”— Jacksonville Times-Union. fore, it is not surprising to hear that prohibition state-wide or -in any other form has no terrors for the convival Texan who can carry enough peyote beans in his vest pocket to keep him on a wild and continuous whiz tor several months. It is said that two or three of the little beans ohewed slowly cause the world to look life fairyland, and life becomes a riot of joyous song, of beautiful visions, and glorious danc ing, but nothing is said about the aftermath. We are inclined to be lieve, however, that in the "tapering off” period of the whiskeyless drunk of Texas a citizen experiences some very rough sledding, because tihe pey ote bean is to human beings what tho loco weed is to horses and cat tle. It brings on the drunk quickly and thoroughly, but getting over and away from the condition of extreme hilarity is another story that has not yet been fully told.—New Orleans States. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ EDITORIAL FUNNYGRAPHS ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Some bright paragrapher says “mar riage is a game of baseball."
