OF course there are some trees
which require the minimum of prun-
ing. But ever such trees require most
careful attention during their younger
earlier years.
One Doint which should be more
strongly impressed upon all planters is
to give greater care to young trees
by doing thumb pruning and taking
off more twigs with small knife. This
would save the use Of the saw ana
consequent serious wounds and some
times ruined trees by taking off large
lint S later.

Tho Fear Of ToIstoy.

no Ftfif OF otaLoys
New York World
The sentencing of Toistoy's publisher at
st. Petersburg TO a years imprisonment
Is a public confession Of fear on the part
Of the Russian Government, for on Toll
stoy. the real offender II dare not lay
hands. He Is the greatest rebel IN Russia,
persistent agitator and the prophet Of
revolution. He is a bold and deliberate
lawbreaSer. and lesser criminals under the
law than he have been shot. hanged and
sent into life exile by the thousands. He
Is Incapable Of striking blow or Of
wounding a fellow-man, yet the Gear and
his Ministers are compelled by their own
fears to guarantee him every protection
In the eyes OF the Russian Government
Tolstoys moral and religious teachings
are vicious. He was ostentatiously excom-
municated by the Synod In 1901 His po-
litical writings are openly revolutionary.
His social doctrines are hostile TO the au-
thorities. Against church, state society,
laws and government he has for many
years raised his voice IN scorn and denun-
ciation. Against the most cherished insti-
tutions of tho world as they exist to-day
no has been the fearless preacher of re-
volt. Many very respectable people outside
OF Russia regard him as an Anarchist and
apostle Of all that Is evil. Yet no officer
OF the police or the courts in any circum-
stances is permitted to molest him in his
homo at Yasnaya Poliana. The most that
the Government ventures TO risk doing. In
the hope Of suppressing free speech, Is to
prosecute the publisher Of some Of Toll
stoy's pamphlets.
Never before IN modern times has tho
passion for righteousness IN a single in
dividual commanded such universal re.
spect. In many ways Tolstoys social ideas
are impractioabe and visionary. He has
exercised no substantial influence upon the
laws and customs OF his contemporaries
But he has preached the gospel OF peace
and goodwill and of labor and simple
living and in his intense faith has lived
a life Of sincerity in a way to stir th'
hearts and imaginations Of millions o.

Your article in to-days paper, "The Au-

miles an hour would be considered going
at a pretty good clip; and quite as fast
as anybody but a fool woulS care to

II had an experience the other day which
makes me think thata great deal of this
boastful talk about progress goes for
nothing. You know we have been having
bad drinking water in Wilmington for
several days. Well, l went into one OF
the first-class stores here the other day
for a glass OF lemonade and they ac-
tually had the nerve to make the lemon
ade by using that Ioul Brandywine wa
ter that came through the pipes. water
that Is not fit for either man or beast

into one of the frst-class or supposed to
be flrst-class restaurants there. Anyone
would think it hrst-class to look at
the card of prices and know the tips the
walters expect. Wen do you know at
this restaurant they served the foul, dirty
Schuylkill water?
We have been talking a great deal
about good water and one would suppose
that such places would have spring wa
ter for their patrons, but It all goes Ia
show how little impression talk OF good
water or Of anything else good makes
upon some people. Yours,

MR. BRYAN AND THE INSURGENTS.


EOLONEL BRYAN is throwing his most
- bewitching smiles at the Republican in-
surgents The door of the Democratic party is
open 10 them, the latch string is on the outside
and IN the insurgents Colonel Bryan sees a flash
of hope, No place for the progressive is the Re
publican party, says Colonel Bryan, because the
party is reactionary and plutocrats sit on the
lever.
For some reason the insurgents do not respond
They are very we'll satisfied where they are.
They don't want TO be swallowed up by Col
onel Bryan, and they fear perhaps that if they
sought shelter in the Bryan camp the tent might
fall down and smother them. They are very
much alive at present, and active.
They, again, they might think that any hopes
that the Democrats will become a real live pro-
gressive and radical party, party that could win
through vrility, are but the dream of Alnascher
for have not the Democrats been drifting back
ward instead Of forward? The selection of SEN
ator Money as the leader Of the Democrats in
the higher house would make one think So
that the reactionaries were Tightening their lines
in the Democratic party The Senator during
the debates of the extra session was opposed to
the Bryan program of free raw materials.
The insurgents, therefore, are likely to atay
where they are. Speaker Cannon will not be
able to FIRE them out of the party. They
will continue to cause a commotion, more or
less, for some time to come, at least, until the
next Congressional elections. They have their
own ideas of progressiveness; they ball at

EXPOSED TO CURRENT OF
$4,000 VOLTS BUT LIVES
William Kane. Electrical Worker, Is
Seriously Injured In Edison
plant in Oeirav

Although exposed to an electrical
current OF $4,000 volts, William Kane.
an electrical worker living at No. 1SS
Sixth-st, is still alive and feeling glad
that he Is able TO sit up aid take no
[. ce although badly burned.
Kane has been engaged In under
ground work for the Detroit Edison
Co. and was working with other men
In dragging up a cable at the general
ing plant on the river bank when he
came into contact with portion OF
one of the big dynamos which was
operating at an energy OF $4,000 volts.
He was thrown violently away and lay
as IL dead. II was only after other
employees had worked over him for
about Ave minutes that he recovered
sufficiently so that breathing could be
noticed. He was then taken 10 the
Solvay hospital, where severe burns
about his neck and face were dressed.
Kane is 80 years OF age and a
:idower.
His escape from instant death Is ey-
planned by the fact that the full cur
rent did not reach him, most of II
passing through the bar which he
touched, the remainder forming a
"shunt-current" which was not direct
enough in its force to kill him.
