Take two kernels of corn. Put one
in some dirt in the cellar, and it will
GROW; but 1t will be weak and yellow
and will die st last. Put the other
out in the warm spring earth, and a
stalk will grow. strong, green and fin
ally laden with ears Of golden grain.
The difference is in the surroundings.
The environment of the one shuts
away the kernel from Gods sunshine

That is the doctrine of environment

The BEAM AND THE MOTE
Nor let Us be to quick on account
of the wholesale assassination at St.
Petersburg on Sunday, to condemn
Russian oligarchy as wicked above all
other men. In disseminating those
strikers they did precisely what a
large proportion of Americans could
demand of President Roosevelt and
what it is by no means certain he
would refuse to do, if similar labor
demonstration were made at Washing.
ton. he is entitled to the credit,
however, of refusing so to act when
the coal barons demanded it during
the recent coal strike. We know.
however, that President Cleveland
ordered Federal troops to Chicago I'm.
der similar circumstances. We know
that these troops we're under orders
to shoot to kill. We know that the
strikers were told that the merits of
their cause were Of no importance
that they must first dispense, trusting
to the good will Of their rulers. We
know that the newspapers of the
country, especially in Chicago, were
bioodthirsty in spirit and brutal in
expression, demanding that the strik.
ers be taught lesson with ''grape
and canister. We know that If this
climax had come there would have
been no more discrimination of SCI
that there was at St. Petersburg, but
that working woman. as we'll as work
ing men, would have gone down be-
fore Federal bullets. The Public.
