Arbor Day urged with hope that Basin becomes a town of trees by planting one tree this year. The piece notes Hiram Johnson’s lead in Republican primaries, Hearst possibly entering third party politics, Bryan still influential in Democratic Nebraska primaries, and a remark on high potato prices spurring many to plant spuds.

It questions loyalty to principles versus actions without precedent, cites Democratic resistance to recognizing a known fact, and cites a cautious view of Secretary Daniele.

The discussion argues a Republican path to peace via repeal, notes the constitutional framers did not anticipate a president withholding peace, and questions if the United States should fund European debts. It labels Wilson's conferences as failed and urges Republicans to craft a labor solution.
