What is Right :?

Right Is the opposite of wrong There
are different standards of right practiced
III the world The lowest standard we
find among animals, and, like people,
the motto of the animals is "Might
is right. Animal like, they crowd and
push others aside, so they get all there
is. Corporations and trusts work on this
principle. They care not how high they
raise the prices of commodities that poor
people need, or how it affects widows,
orphans and the poor in their distress.
Indians kill any innocent person for re-
revenge, and call it right.
The next higher standard of right is
the legal standard. Their motto is: "It's
legal" They hide behind the law, re-
CARELESS of right or wrong It's legal,
they say, therefore it's right. They don't
consider that some laws have been re-
pealed because they were not right
Many wrongs are done under wrong
law, or partial one. AS wise states
man once said: "Show me the laws of
nation, and I'll tell you their social and
financial condition. Another elects
tenant and turns out poor widows and
orphans into the street in winter, because
they cannot pay the rent, and calls it
right, because it's legal. The saloon
keeper is selling his liquor under the pro-
lection of law; he paid for license and
he has legal right to sell the stuff. 1t
is right to him. no matter what the con-
sequences of his business is,-how many
wives and children are destitute of the
necessaries of life on account of drunk
en- husband or father, squandering his
earnings over the legal bar But what of
that3 The saloon keeper does a legal
business, SO it is right to him ; and many
good ~ church people helped give him
that right. They give him (by vote) the
right to keep old drunkards (they hardly
ever lose one) and make new ones of the
boys; perhaps your boys, reader.
The third or highest standard of right
is not so generally practiced, as it ex-
cludes selishness and imposes self denial.
Its motto or rule is "Do unto others as
you wish others to do unto YOU" We
don't want others to lie to us or deceive
us, and take the advantage. This is what
the Lord meant when He said: Love
your neighbor as YOURSELF If we love
one, we do him no harm, but act upright
ly and truthfully towards him or her.
The only question with us is not, have we
got the might or is it legal right but, is
1t morally or conscientiously right? II

every one would act by this Golden Rule
standard, what happy state of society
we would have? But i'll order to work
on this beautiful golden standard, we
must get Gods love in our hearts, which
expels our selfish love and makes us true,
upright beings, as all ought to be. Many
think they are doing right, but are sadly
mistaken. They are blinded by the gilt
ter of gold, wrapped up in selhshness
and vanity.
BY our lives we show which OF the
above standards of right we live by.
Reader, which is yours Choose the one
you would wish to have in your dying
hour. But by and by there will be a
righteous standard set up by the Great
Judge, who will judge the quick and the
dead righteously. Oh, shall we be able
to stand His righteous judgment Read

Inspection of Fruit.

in once permitting tree pests and
diseases to gain foothold, make
the following from the address made
before the Northwest Fruitgrower' S
association, by H. Van Holderbeke,
state commissioner Of horticulture,
of interest to all fruitgrowers. In
advocating skilled horticulturists as
county fruit inspectors, he says;
"Fruitgrowing districts should
assist the inspector to enforce the
law, and should they have an in
spector who is not equal to the re-
quirements they should at once APP
point one who would be. 1t re-
quires an official with stamina, inn
partial, and not timid, yet one with
good judgment to meet the various
problems he must encounter. The
requirements for such office are
many, and, therefore, competent
men are hard to secure, since the
pay offered is not equal to the in
ducements offered ones ability in
other directions.
THE fact that some counties have
been negligent in appointing an in
spector has been great hindrance.
Such counties generally feel all in
Spector is not needed, as their fruit
interests are small and the expense
unwarranted. In some instances
this has been found to be correct,
but as rule it is not, and the fruit
interests of such counties haue suf-
tered as result.
The commissioner should have
power to unite two counties and let
one inspector cover the work where
this Is necessary. He should also
have the power to appoint without
delay an inspector for such counties
as have none. The office of inspec-
tor should not be restricted to en-
forcing the law regarding insect
pests and fungus diseases, but
should also include enforcement of
the law against noxious weeds,
which law should be amended to
include more weeds.
1.-The inspector should also be re-
quired to be skilled horticulturist
and be expected to assist the fruit
grower with any information re-
quired. Fruitgrowers expect this
OF an inspector and are disappointed
when they find him not equal to
reasonable. information expected of
him.
The money collected by county
inspectors is turned into the county
treasury and assists in defraying
the expense of sustaining that of
hce, while the law compels ship
pers to notify the commissioner of
intention to ship a consignment in
to any county. This gives him OPP
portunity to notify the inspector of
the county of said shipment, yet the
shipment may arrive at its destina-
ton before the inspector has time
to look over it, or it may be de-
layed in transit and annoy the in
spector by time and expense in
making frequent trips to inspect the
stock on arrival.
"The law should be such that
the party receiving the consign-
ment shall also inform the inspector
of the county of the arrival of any
Shipment.
The commissioner held that all
inspectors should meet at Pullman
once year at least for institute
work. He stated also that in
spectors should be qualified by ex-
animation under the direction o.

EIGHTY-THIRD ANNIVERSARY.

Saturday was the eighty-third ami
versary of the founding of the Indepen-
dent Order of Odd Fellows in America.
The first lodge of Odd Fellows in this
country was instituted at Baltimore.
Over three quarters of a century has
passed since then, and the order has
grown apace in the years that have
come and gone. Wherever the symbol
of the three links is seen, there is the
evidence of a fraternal brotherhood
that sets no limit to the doing in behalf
of the noble precepts of the order.
Cherokee Lodge here has 10 members
and new members are joining con-
stantly. A club of ten are now going
through the degrees.

MEMORIAL EXERCISES.

through tears, the beautiful custom OF
decorating the graves of the Confeder-
ate heroes who sleep in the silent city
of the dead. is observed. Nearly
| thirty-eight years have passed since
the fratricidal strife, and yet the devo-
tion and fidelity of Southern woman
hood and manhood doesn't lessen.
With the recurring of spring season,
sweet and beautiful flowers redolent
with the rich perfume of natures dis
tilation, are heaped upon the sacred
mounds of the dead soldiers, whose
valor is worthy of the commemoration
paid them by patriotic people.
Last Friday, the 25th ult., was OBJ
served in Marietta as the day.
At 10 O'Clock the stores all closed
and the people responded in a great
multitude and wended their way to
the Confederate cemetery.
Baldwin's Band headed the immense
procession, discoursing the sweetest
music. Five hundred school children
formed line that stretched itself out
to distance that made it panorama
of beauty.
How inspiring the music and how
magnificent the procession. Carriages,
citizens, old veterans, and school child
rem, filed into the cemetery and gath
cred around the stand, decorated as it
was with evergreens, wreathes, flowers,
bunting and flags.
After music by the Band, Rev. G. T.
A. Pise made the opening prayer.
Prof. S. v Sanford introduced the
speaker in beautiful language as the
peerless orator.
Hon. F. Fl. Richardson editor of the
Atlanta Journal, was the speaker in
troduced, and right we'll and nobly he
sustained the eulogy heaped upon him
by Prof, Sanford. No speaker who has
graced similar occasion since the
war, in Marietta, has surpassed, if
equalled, the magnificent address de-
livered by this matchless and superb
orator. 1t was fine tribute to the
truth of history as relates to the
South, her people, her statesmen, her
generals, her women, and loyal devo-
ton to the principles of the Constitu-
ton from the foundation of the Re-
public to the present day. His tributes
to Lee and Davis were grand and beau
tiful, and the speech stirred and thrill
ed every heart, and repeated applause
greeted the speaker. When he con-
cluded he was congratulated on every
side by the people who grasped his
hand and expressed sincere apprecia-
ton.
Mr.. Richardson not only had fine
speech, but it was gracefully and elo-
quently delivered, and Marietta stands
with her hat off to do him honor.
There were probably one thousand
people present, and on all sides there
was nothing but praise.
After music by Baldwin's splendid
band, benediction was pronounced by
Rev. V. f. Manget; then Col. w. r.
Power the marshal of the day, asked
that the graves be decorated, which
was done more extensively this year
than usual.
Thus with flowers and tears our
people do reverence to the heoric dead
They merit all our hearts can give,
Our praises and our love they claim,
Long shall their precious names survive,
Held sacred by immortal fame.
Long where on glory's field they fell
Nay Freedoms spotless banner wave.
And fragrant tributes, grateful, tell,
Where dwell the free-where sleep
the brave.

The Rnbber Plant.

hAen in good condition a rubber
plant is one Of the most effective Ct
house plans, its dark green, glossy
foliage being particularly decorative.
But it is CT appears to be in many
eases q difficult matter to keep I
plant in full foliage, and bereft of its
lower leaves, with scraggly stems
topped by dull, yellow spotted leaves,
it is far from being an object OF beau
t.. An authority suggests the follow
ing method of caring for the plant and
guarantees successful results if the di-
rections are faithfully followed: "Ev-
cry spring the plant should be repot-
ted in good soil, each time in larger
POT, and during the summer months
kept in the shady part Of the house,
away from the sun, and watered daily.
In winter the pant should be kept in a
light place in the house, but should
not have too much sun. Once each
week the entire pot should be thor
cughly immersed in a bucket or tub OF
water and allowed to soak over night,
giving the water ample opportunity to
soak to it's centre. Next morning tako
the pot out of its bathtub and allow it
to drain while and do not give it
any more water Tor two or three days;
then let it have a drink each morning,
until tirue for its next bath. By care
fully following this plan the large,
glossy leaves will acquire beautiful
luslre and there will be no trouble with
falling leaves.

she, Remembers Ella.

Probably Mrs. Coe of London is the
only person living in England who has
personal recollections of Charles Lamb,
says the New York Mail and Express.
More than seventy years ago she was
little girl living at the Widford water
mill, and because of her Quickness in
catching a miscfievous idea she was
great favorite with the genial essaylst.
Some of her recoHections MIR. E. v.
Lucas, the wel-known Lamb scholar,
has transcribed as the result of recent
conversations with her. She remem-
bers Lambs affected conviction that
her hair curled only by artificial means,
and his repeated warnings at bedtime
that she must not forget to put 1t in
papers. TO beggars- she says, he al
ways gave just what his hand hap=
pened to draw from his pocket. He
was fond Of treating the village chill
dren to candy, his favorite confection
being Gibraltar rock" Here is a pen
picture OF him as he appeared to the
child:
His clothes were rusty and shabby,
like a poor dissenting minister's. He
was very thin and looked half-starved,
partly the effect of high cheek-bones.
He wore knee breeches and CATERS and
a high stock. He carried a walking
stick, with which he used to strike at
pebbles. He smoked a black clay pipe.
No one would have taken him for what
be was, but he was clearly a man apart.

Cremation is one of the oldest forms

that lapsed from use for centuries. 1t

True, it has made but little head
