Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1908-05-14

Of the ancient gladiator of whom the
schoolboys Of the past generation were
wont to declaim, Fitz almost may say
that he has met in the arena every
shape Of man or beast that the broad
empire of America can furnish and has
never yet lowered his arms.
Followed Fighting Seriously.
Fitz has followed his profession Sc
riously. For him prize fighting has
been business. He did not enter
that line of industry as mere diver
tisement, to pass away the time, nor
yet to gain the laurels Of championship
merely for the sake of the laurels.
Fitz discovered that he was, as Mr..
Borglum remarks, "built for battle"
It was but natural, then, that he de-
vote his life to battle SO long as his
battling powers endured, and that Is
exactly what this man did. B
Like General Grant, however, Fitz
did not know he was great fighter at
first. He, learned the blacksmithing
trade and became an adept at shoeing
horses. That was his chief duty in
the smithy, and 1t is said that he, is
still proud Of his prowess as horse
sheer. By the way, while we are
about 1t we may as well mention that
Fitz is the champion horseshoer of the
world, so far as making horseshoes
goes. He won the championship in
Pittsburg a few years ago by making
thirty-six horseshoes In thirty-tive min
utes. "a v

Fitz was originally Cornishman, &C

Raising Trees.

Forestry is a big word, and when
the term scientific forestry is used the
average farmer in America may be ex-
cused If he thinks the subject is be-
yond him. Anything less than a
square mile in extent growing trees
is to the a of American lineage
simply a ''piece Of woods" And it is
a fact that until very recently the
study Of scientific tree culture or for
estry was confined to large areas.
1t is fortunate probably that discus
sions Of the forestry problem of the
country have been supplemented by
warnings of a threatened famine in
timber. This last idea strikes home.
No farm a get along without posts
and rails. The matter Of windbreaks.
shelter and water sheds for small
streams also interests the farmer.
Rows Of trees rightly placed will not
interfere with tilling the soil, and
since the attention they require comes
out Of the crop s the raising Of a
few trees is a simple matter. The
timber may not be marketable for
years to come, but value is added to
the farm by: a tract or patch of woods
free Of bushes and brambles.s

Consumption does not pay, and the
fight against tuberculosis in this coun-3
try must depend for success upon the
extent to which the public can be
aroused to the economic necessity Of
stamping it out. Millions Of dollars are
being expended now to take care Of
the victims Of tuberculosis one way
and another, and It seems that the
cost Of medical care is perhaps less
than half of the financial burden due
to this disease.

A World Language.

Language making looks easy to US
moderns, judging by the number of
claimants the last fifty years for the
position Of vehicle Of speech for all
nations A hundred different tongues
have been invented, and each was said
by its promoters to answer every re-
quirement. In Dresden last August
the Esperantists held their fourth in.
ternational congress and may well
boast that 5000 people, representing
thirty ~nationalities, speaking in one
tongue is proof that Esperanto is a
success, whatever its intrinsic merits
compared with numerous rivals. The
congress is described in the North
American Review, and 1t is evident
that the gathering was an impressive
one. If the zeal shown by the dele.
gates at the congress goes with them
to their scattered homes Esperanto
must speedily become a world study.
But being a world study and a world
language in actual practice are two
distinct things. Language has always
been a matter of growth and not Of
Incubation. The human being catches
up the first gesture or word that will
convey the present meaning, and as
things are drifting today the needs OF
the world will be conversation with
English speaking people. The Ameri.
cans and the British r the greatest
world travellers today. The routes
where English spoken here stares
the traveller in the face are growing
wider each year. Our language is
made up out Of many tongues, and the
ease with which immigrants pick up
enough for everyday use Is evidence
that It a erve. every purpose Of a
universal speaking medium. a few at
least Of every people on the globe are
already interested in speaking Englisl,
some Of the time. These few will nc;
quire It because they have to, and they
will gradually introduced among their
fellows. In this way English will
come into use wherever and when
ever a universal language Is needed.
