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

SOCIETY EDITOR’S VERSION
A brilliant, fire was held at high noon
today at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Smith, No. :t7fi Dash street. A large
number of persons were in attend

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

was burned so badly. The firemen
were becomingly garbed in blue suits
and full-cut red blouses. Tho weath

a horn was a pleasing feature. Mr.
Smith was not present. He is in New

was lots of excitement. After awhile
the fire was put out. Because of the

her two children, one a bright little

are bought, for $3, as cotton. 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,-

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

SARDINES IN COTTON SEED

A new use for cotton seed oil is
found In the packing of sardines. No

would ho more palatable and whole
some than the sardines packed in the
olive oil that, has now come to be
recognized as “alleged.” There k 5
yet some prejudice against cotton
seed oil on account of lack of knowl
edge of It, and the federal department
of commerce and labor is endeavoring
to get the French packers to give It
a trial. /
Two jrackers of sardines have
agreed to make tests with cotton seed
oil in cooking and packing sardines.
Samples of ‘‘butter oil" and "winter
yellow’' will be sent them. The de
partment will be notified of the re
sults of the tests as soon as possible.
These two packers state that if they
can successfully cook and preserve the
fish in cotton seed oil, the best grades
of oil being used, they hope to have
the co-operation of the American buy
ers, to whom they will send samples
of the fish so packed and from whom
they will solicit business. They wish
those dealers in America who desire
such samples to communicate with
them.
