"I should 6uggest that each juror should demonstrate his fitness for jury service by certain educational or property qualifications- A man who ha* accumulated any ss&ate of consequence is very likely to be an individual of sense and judgment and will ordinarily have >? sense of re sponsibility when dealing with other people's affairs. He is very apt to be ^ fit juror to sit on a case in volving the right* of litigants who come into court. He has developed certain traits of" observation, thought and judgment, is accustomed ' to weighing the pros and cons of his own dealings ?with the public and this in a very great and high sense will give h;m the- power to observe those things about a case that really go to ,the merits, but which unthinking men' do not s*e.

Some* vc ars ago it was predicted that Washington would become . the forest city of the nation. Perhaps i in no one particular does the city stand out as conspicuously as in the matter of its trees. It is acknowl edged by those whose extended travci qualifies them for expressing of opin ion. that Washington is the best planted city in America. One can well believe this as ho looks up and down the radiating aisles of leafy bloom that form a protecting bower of shad? over the broad space* of as phalt. The ry-tematic planting of trees on the streets of Washington was com :n the fall of ls72. when the city was under the regime of (lov. Alexander K. Shepherd. A great deal of grading was done at that time, and roadways*were made un.ferm. Pre to this change :n roadways tht pavements were - > c'.oso to the houses that there was rv> space for trv-es. which was probably the rea son no street planting ha i been at tempted. Gov. Shepherd appo.nted Wtiharn R. Smith, John Saul and William Sajnder.;. mer. experience*' in arbori culture. who acted a-? an advisory board ,to select trees considered the; most suitable for street planting. | This parking commission thought it '? Ih*.s\ to plant trees of aft rapid growth as could lus obtained, to replace the shade trees set out by private p0r .sunn, which had been destroys! ; con. soquentVy, a majority of ithose plant ed on the streets at that time were sunt- wooded, which trow faster than hard-woodtd trees. The Carolina and Ix^mbardy poplars and the silver and ash maples were planted in largv numbers, and gave the desired re* suits. These varieties have been re placed as rapidly as possible by tires of slower growth, which an*' nion beautiful and longerdived. The4 pop ia*a, for instance, are known ai Usu: face-rooters/' and the silver m* pips, which at one time Were in greater number than any othi<r one ? .1: )???*>% were abandoned b^atMQ of the brittle nature of the woodr xho IreVs w.hfoh nave been substituted9 fv-r those condemned are the Ame?i-_: can elm, American linden, rod oak, s pin iK'k. sugar maple, Oriental plaiae <and ginkgo.

Those on the streets are unJer t'.ie care of the superintendent <i trees and parking of. the District g->yernnunt, while those standing a few feet away in the parks and reser vations are assigned to the officer in charge of public buJdings and Ci'ounds, that is, under the War De partment. Washington has 105,000 trees on its streets, while its parks and reserva tions are filled with shade trees of every variety, making it an ideal summer city. ^ A story could be written, too, about the historic trees in Washington, in cluding the famous Japanese cherry trees in Potomac park. The Wash ingtoniana collection in the reference room of the Public Library has a large number of pamphlets and clip pings telling the story of Washing ton's trees.
