rojnets tho theory of tho suporsovor
olgnly of an International pollco forca
A Dollcnte Question.
It also coutomplatos tho working

Hon of all disarmament which par
ticularly affects tho British navy. Tho
siiiiio principle, It is proposed, shall
apply to tho othor nations associated

Tho Idea is founded on tho argu
ment that no nation would dispose of
instruments by which it oxpocts to
defend itsolf until it has been demon
Htrated that tho forces proposed as a
mibstltuto will bo olllclont.
Such a plan will delegate to various
commissions and commlttues detailed
problems which shall bo roported with
recommendations to tho loaguo Itself
Tho probability of such a plan being
Adopted Justifies previous forecasts
that tho principal accomplishments of
the peace conforence as it now sits

Ornamental Lamp Posts.
There is no feature In municipal
equipment that adds more to the at
tractiveness of a city's appearance
than do ornamental street lamp posts
of artistic and appropriate design. Just
as the effectiveness of Interior decora
tions and furnishings depend In a
lnrge measure upon lighting fixtures,
so the beauty of tho street can bo en
hanced or marred by its lights. In
each case a satisfactory solution of
the lighting problem consists not only
In supplying sufficient illumination but
also In providing lighting equipment
that harmonizes with Its surround
ings nnd possesses a beauty of its
own. Tho old-tlmo lnmp post In
vogue before the days of electricity
fulfilled the second of these condi
tions, but not tho first; for, although
tho post Itself was often a work of
art, Its feeble oil or gas flame seldom
was equal to the task of Illuminating
the street. On the other hand, tho
modern overhead arc lamp gives a fair
ly satisfactory light, but the unsightly
poles, ropes, wires and other equip
ment for raising and lowering the lamp
can scarcely bo called beautiful. Now
comes the ornamental street lamp post,
which co-jbines the beauty of ono of
Its predecessors and the utility of tho
other. Thomas J. Davis In The House
Beautiful.
Plant Trees.
Let us plant trees as meniorlnls to
our fallen heroes. Let us plant trees
not only along the great transconti
nental highways, as tho American
1-orestry asMiclatlon so opportunely
suggests, but let each community
plant trees for Its own dead In addi
tion. In Mohammedan countries It is re
garded as an act peculiarly pleasing to
God nnd man to erect drinking places
as memorials for the dead. These
fountains, with their supply of wnter
in urid lands, help greatly to beautify
roads, to lighten tho burden of lifo
and refresh bodies and souls, -while
they testify In memorials of stone,
brick and marble to beloved dcntl.
Let us plant trees as memorials to
our own beloved dead, whose deeds
shall live so long as tho world lives.

tho governor's hands was introducod
in the senato by Sonators Peterson,.

Tho bill, which promises to bo the

executive departments Instead of a
ser!o3 of boards and individuals, as at
present. These departments are:
Finance, agriculture, labor, trade and
commerce, public welfare, public
works.
