Life Is n Conflict, and Error Dies HI

Life is struggle. Wars end, but the
war of the race-the antagonism Of
thought, the strife between men, be-
tween man and the forces external to
him, within the soul Of the individual
ends not save it be with extinction.
Error gains many u temporary tri-
umph, but the final victory is with
truth. There is substance in truth that
in the last balance outweighs error.
Natures process is by test and trial,
by unfolding, changing, ripping up. un-

flict she tries sincerity and treachery.

Truly Rooseveltain.

In speech at banquet given in his !
honor by the Union League Club at
Philadelphia Monday night President
Roosevelt took occasion to outline his
policy on the commerce laws. Among
other things touching upon the subject
he said
"At the present moment the greatest
need is for an increase in the power of
the National Government to keep the
great highways of commerce open alike
to all on reasonable and equitable
terms. Less than century ago these
highways were still, as they had been
since the dawn of history, either water
ways, natural or artificial, or else ordi-
nary roads for wheel vehicles drawn by
animal power The railroad, which
was utterly unknown when our Govern
ment was formed and when the great
principles of our jurisprudence were
laid down, has now become almost
everywhere the most important, and, in
many large regions, the only form OF
highway for commerce. The man who
controls its use cannot be permitted to
control it in his own interest alone.
at is not only just but it is in the
interest of the public that this man
should receive the amplest payment for
the masterful business capacity which
enables him to benefit himself while
benefiting the public but in return he
must himself recognize his duty to the
public. He will not and cannot do this
If our laws are so defective that in the
sharp competition of the business
world the conscientious man is put at a
disadvantage by his less scrupulous
fellows 1t is in the interest of the
conscientious and public spirited rail
way man that there should be such
governmental supervision of the rail
way traffic of the country as to require
from his less scrupulous competitors,
and from inscriptions big shippers as
well, that heed to the public welfare
which he himself would willingly give,
and which is of vital consequence to
the small shipper. Every important
railroad is engaged interstate COM
merce. Therefore. this control over
the railroads must come through the
National Government"
The President concluded his speech
with these characteristic words:
''We do not intend that this Republic
shall ever fail as those republics OF
olden time failed, in which there finally
came to be government by classes,
which resulted in the poor plundering
the rich or in the rich exploiting and
in one form or another enslaving the
poor; for either event means the de.
struction of free institutions and OF in
dividual liberty. Ours is not a Govern
meut which recognizes classes. 1t il
based on the recognition OF the indi
vidual. We are not for the poor mar
AS such, nor for the rich man as such
We are for every man rich or poor, pro
vded he acts justly and fairly by hi'
fellows, and if he so acts the Govern
ment must do all it can to see that in
asmuch as he does no wrong, so he shal
suffer no wrong"

DIED OF HER INJURIES
Playing About a Bonfire
Little Helen Bruce is
Fatally Burned.

At 2.3O O'Clock this afternoon little
Helen Bruce the threo-year-old daugh-
ter OF Mr. and Mrs C. w. Bruce BIS
south First street. was buried in sum-
mis- View cemetery. Hcr death came
suddenly Sunday morning at Z o'clock
when no one expected it
on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock
little Helen was seriously burned. She
and her brother who is 1--WE years old.
were playing around hre they had
built IN the back yard.
Mrs Bruce head the children scream
inr and she ran cut and saw her little
girl wrapped in flames. She Immediately
caught the child mp in her arms. threw
her dress around her and eXtinguished
the flames in a few moments.
Little Helen was taken into the house
and physicians were summoned. Upon
an investigation Il was found that she
was burned on the back and under the
arms badly but not enough, it was con-
sldored, to cause her death.
some time in the fore part Of the
night the little girl became very sick
at her stomach stil the physicians did
not see danger ahead, and said il was
NOT necessary to seEd for Mr. Bruce the
father, VINO was then az Tecumseh do
ing some accounting.
But death came when moost un-
expected. She was one OF the prides Of
the Bruce home and an the neighbors
were in love with little Helen. II is
sad and brings grief to many breasts.

FRUITS OF THE oLEAsrER.
Rather seedy, but the Flavor Though
Tart is Good.

Rather seedy, but the Flavor Though
Tart. is Good.
The garden editor Of Practical Far
mer says in a late number:
There are fruit lists that contain
oleasters among other kinds Of fruits,
and when the home garden is in mind
and not one where fruits for market
are raised, the oleaster may properly
be admitted. This name, oleaster, is
applied to the various sorts Of elac-
agnus, OF which there are half a dozen
or more which bear berries. All Of
thcm have fruit which becomes Of a
niottled red when ripe; but the ripen-
ing period varies greatly.
The earliest ripening one is Elaeag-
nus Longipes, and it has the largest
and handsomest fruit Of any. In the
North its fruit Is ripe in June; in the
South, in May The size Of the fruit is
nearly that Of a small cherry, and the
fruit is stalked as cherries are. In
the South there IS one called Elaeeg-
nus Simoni Il flowers Ia late autumn
and when frosts do not hurt it its fruit
npens in March following
A species rather commons in tho
North is one named parrfolia, and at
ono time it was popular as a hedge
plant. It is full Of ripe fruit in July;
but in this one the fruit sets close TO
the shoots and is not on stalks. Sull
another oue is the late fruiung sort
called umbrellata- This ripens very
late, not until shortly before it freezes
up. Now, as to the uses OF the fruit
OF these. AS said at the commencement
OF these notes. these shrubs are all
right for the home garden, for a curl
osity in the fruit line.
The fruit is tart. much as that OF
~ barberry is, and in the case OF all
Of them excepting the first named
LOrgipes. there Is too little meat and
too much bone. Children like 10 pick
ana eat them. But in the case Of Long
gipes II is different; and plant OF two
set out in the garden would anord
fruit with which / think almost every
enc would be pleased In sending 10 a
nursery for plants cf # do not forge'
TO ask for the fruit bearing one, a.
there are plants that bear fruit and
plants that do not. and this should b
remembered.
The Ela0agnus Longipes is a nice
ornamental shrub as well as one de
sirable for It's fruit. and In all larg'
collections OF shrubs It may be found
tecause Of its various desirable char
aoters.
