Suicide.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Blddcford. Me-, says that citizen Of
that town committed suicide on Sun
day rather than face his creditors. whom
he was unable to pay.
This is one Of several Items of sim
liar nature, which have recently appear
ed in tile public print and 1T was these
Items which suggested the editorial In
Sundays paper on suicide. Through q
long series of years We have been max
ing observations on this subject, and
in almost every case, certainly in the
great majority OF cases. whore reasons
were assigned, men took their lives be-
cause they were unwilling to battle with
thci:.' Cinculties. They surrendered
rather than fight. Hence our conclu-
sion, that 1t is Drawer and more noble
to bear tho ills we have and live on
and fight. to the bitter end. though 1t
be, than to yield to the tempter and put
an end to tho struggle by self-destruc-
ton. In such cases 1t requires more
courage to live than to die.

Cash Cade of Shawnee, recently

ence during the early spring with his

long as he is in political life. Just be-
fore the time for frosts to appear in
Oklahoma an interview was given Out
by Secretary Thoburn Of the Oklaho

that spraying fruit trees before the
rising Of the sun would take all the
frost from the fruit and save the crop.
This interview had particularly to do
with peaches, and Cash Cade has one
Of the finest peach orchards in Potta

try Thoburns plan and on several
successive mornings he aroused his
son. and the two got out before the
sun was up TO spray the peach trees.
Their work was not at all to their per
sonal feeling, but they kept it up man
fully, believing that the peach croF
would be saved. Now Cade claims
that he was the only man in Potta
watomie county who followed the plan
and on the other hand, he is the only
man who has no peaches.
