ginning of the civil war As a
rule preachers steer shy Of ad-
vancing a doctrine that makes for
unrest. II has bte the rule for
ages that the church and her
teachers would follow where So
ciety led. and If preachers are to
generally take up this doctrine
that men shall have fair deal in
the struggle for life. we can see
trouble ahead for the class that
considers itself ordained by Pro-
vidcnce to hold IN trust the wealth

them best Ii will upset the cas-

Another article on the same
subject is found in a late issue of
Mr.. Bryan's Commoner We note
that he sees in existing condi-
tions a fruitful soil for the propa
CATION of socialist ideas. True.
he like most democrats, considers
fair competition as a better solu-
ton than socialism which de.
stroys all competition, but Mr..
Bryan recognizes that present
conditions are intolerable and he
realizes that a change of some
sort is imminent
Taking the two articles to-
gether one cannot help feeling
that this country Is on the verge
of taking up the question OF
more equitable division of the
fruits of toll. Socialism is simply
organized revolt over unfair con
ditions. 1t does not matter tha;
their ideas in many ways are
chimerical. utopian. impossible
The great and absorbing fact is
that there is INTOLERABLE
INEQUALITY and that men OF
brains and ability. men OF high
character. men of immense
strength and influence. recognize
the fact. 1t may take Socialism
to correct the abuse of power
now exercised by the abnormally
rich. If so It will come.
Some years ago the populis,
party raised banner of opposi
ton to privilege and their work
was so successful that in foul
short years after they got start,
both the republican and demo
cratic parties were falling over one

Several copies OF this publication

the reason that it is filled with the
writings OF preachers. All are
converts TO the socialistic idea
and all discuss the questions in-
telligenily and earnestly.
As we examine the different
contributions We are impressed
with the fact that these ministers
have become socialists because
they are so earnestly seeking a
remedy for the suffering and
poverty with which they come in
constant contact One OF the late
converts is local man and one

Set Out 1000, 900 Fruit Trees.

Only an extraordinary turn In the
weather can now prevent another
great fruit crop in the Yakima valley.
j. M. Brown, special horticultural in
spector, who during the last two
weeks has visited much among the
orchards in this section, believes that
a first class fruit crop will follow the
open winter, but said that 1t all de-
pends on the weather that follows,
says a North Yakima item.
There Is nothing to be alarmed at
now," said Mr.. Brown today. 1.-The
weather so far has been all right. The
experience here has always been that
a good fruit crop follows an open win
ter, such as we have been having"
Mr.. Brown said that close TO 1,000,-
900 fruit trees will have been set out
before this spring. A good part OF
these trees have replaced hops and
hay. The orchardists are busy plant
ing trees, pruning those already
planted and generally cleaning out
their orchards. While the trees have
not shown much result from the warm
weather of the last month, the fruit
growers. are not taking any chances,
and will protect their trees from pos
sible frosts by smudges and other
means.

Abused Insane Indian.

A crazy Indian was brought here
from Glenn's Ferry few days ago
and incarcerated in the county jail
pending the arrival of a travelling at
tendant Of the state insane asylum
to escort him to Blackfoot, says the
Mountainhome Maverick He was
perfectly harmless, his delusion hav-
ing taken the form Of an ardent de-
sire to make war on the Greeks An
asylum attendant by the name OF
Moore arrived from Blackfoot to take
charge of the unfortunate man, who
was turned over to him. The guard
proceeded to handcuff him, as we
presume is customary in such cases.
After the handouts had been ad-
justed and before Sheriff Fountain
could realize what was taking place
the guard threw the Indian on the
floor, grabbed him by the hair and
pounded his head on the floor, fol-
lowing this up by brutally kicking him
twice in the abdomen. The shetiff
interfered and. threaten
ed to lock the guard in a cell il he re-
peated his actions.
