EDITORIAL PAGE
This is the time of the year to
plant tr<vs. A tree planted In the
fall will live, if any decent kind
of care is given it. The best In
vestment this community can make
is to plant trees Not only are
they beautiful, but they are of
commercial value as wind breads.
A grove of tre?*s will protect a
flower fc.irden front being despoiled
by the hurrying winds that rush
up and down the Skagway valley.
lleauty is uu investlUent that
pays t hundred i?er cent to both
borrower and lender. The more
>ou sue, the more you have. N"o
coiiinitiuity ever aiuounteil to very
much that neglected its appearances.
There has been a society of ladies
formed in this city whose object ;s
to beautify things. Women under
stand loveliness better than me J,
they ire more in touch with the
esthetic v community composed of
men vould soon have weeds over
- row uu their lawns and their yards
ue* orated with empty bottles and
tomato ? atis. Therefore, It seems
to this newspaper, that the women
h.iv'e adopted the very thing for
which nature has fitted them, that
of creating beauty. This society
lias raised funds, and will raise
more, which they intend to 'tse
for civic improvement. They have
no intention of attempting to wrest
the governing i>ower front the
lords of crea'ion, what they want
to do is to supplement the work
of the male portion of the com
munity. not to supplant it. For in
stance. the women want to plant
some trees. They are willing to
biii the trees and have them hauled
hi front the forests; not being
ph> si. illy able to dig the holes
lor planting, they are asking the
.hi! o ,i few men to assist them.
It is not much to ask, and it is
not Interferelng with the preroga
tives of city government in any
way. They do think. however,
that the city council might loan
them tin* use of the street com
mitt>- or t city marshal or two.
who " il l o i-asionally care for
the trees and see that they Pre

because of "the interference of a
pack of women who ought to be

the moldy past
Shortly before the close of the
last session of congress. Congress
man Sulzer, who has just received
the Democratic nomination for
governor of New York, introduced
a resolution, the object of which
is to bring peace to the nations of
the world, and to do away with the
enormous expense of armies and
navies, which he claims is one of
the principal causes of the present
high cost of living. The resolution
is as follows:
"That the president be, and he
hereby is authorized to extend an
invitation to all the members of
the national legislative bodies of
the various nations or the world to
assemble in Washington, District
of Columbia, In the United States,
during the fall of the year of
nineteeu hundred and fifteen, to
discuss matters relating to universal
peace, and make recommendations
for such action as will enable said
national legislative bodies to be of
greater service In promoting con
cord and peace among the nations of
the earth."
"The League of Peace," an or
ganization established in New
York City, is urging general sup
port of this resolution, aud has
sent circulars broadcast, saying in
part:
"The most important event In
the world's history is the fact that
there is at this time a national legis
lative body making the laws and
controlling the revenues and ex
penditures in every great nation of
the world and that these bodies act
ing together can substitute justice
and good will for force, as com
plete between the nations as it has
between the states of the American
Union.
"In the work of arousing public
opinion we would request the co
operation of the press and the peo
ple of all the world iu a CRUSADE
FOR PEACE that may save In the
pockets of the taxpayers the $2,
500,000.000 now expended on arm'ug
and navies to protect the peace, j
this being the greater factor in
the high cost of living from which
all people are suffering at the
present time."
The next meeting of the Inter-,
national Congress of Peace Societies
will take place in Geneva, Switzer
land, August 31 to September 1,
and the Interparliamentary Union
will begin its sessions September
17, in Geneva. These will be fol
lowed by a conference of represent
atives of the three great republics
? United States, France and China
? doubtless with representatives of
other nations as well, in Paris, in
October, all working to forward
the success of this coining Joint
meeting of the parliament of the
world.
So far 3t'.2 members of the pres
ent United States congress, out of
u full membership of 478, have en
rolled themselves as members of
the Interparliamentary Union and
with their signatures have approv
ed the invitation from the United ,
States congress to the parliaments
of other nations, which the Sulzer
bill, if passed, makes otficlal.
