completed by Ben H. Rice. secretary
manager of the National Apple show,
inc. showing that the so-called wild
apple" or wild crab" from which
many of thep resent standard COM
mercial varieties have sprung, were
wayward descendants OF trees origin
ally imported from England and 9TH
er foreign countries in the eighteenth
century.
Mr. Rice has compiled data. tracing
the seeds from their shores, also the
wandering OF the trees from the path
of civilization. reverting to savagery
and then brought to the present day
perfection, as TO color. size and flaw
or. after years of toll and study. OF
the contributary factors he says that
the process OF cultivation was not of
sufficient long duration nor was 1t
complete. and. as consequences. after
a few years neglect. II was natural
for the fruit to return to its normal
state.

Rice's manuscript, TO be presented to

During revolutionary times and the
days of the Indian wars, when thou
sands of men were called to bear arms
many farms were permitted to run 10
waste and weeds. In numerous in
stances the isolated homesteads and
even settlements were attacked and
destroyed, the occupants slain. the
buildings sacked and burned and the
stock scattered when not stolen. Thus.
a few years completed the transition
from pioneer husbandry to utter ruin
and chaos.

CONTINUED
ITS THE OLD FIGHTING
TWENTY-FIFTH
FROM PAGE ONE.

ated by an act of congress Of July
2S, 1865. Beyond garrison duty in
western posts and occasionally
chasing Indians. the first "a years
of the career of the Twentyfifth
were not marked by any particular
| ~ exciting incidents. For the last
10 years. however, there has been
| something stirring more or less
for the entire period, and the regi-
ment has never had any very long
stretches of idle years on its
hands.
In 1890 the regiment participated
in the Sioux campaign; in 1925
it figured in the labor troubles in
the COeuE dAlenes and for months
patrolled the mining district in
pursuit of the striking miners. In
1894 it was placed on duty in the
famous A. r. U. strike and guard
ed the property of the Great
Northern railroad in Dakota and
Montana.
When the war with Spain was
declared the Twenty-fifth regi-
ment, then in Montana, was one
u WV III st W lCoNll Vic SChCl
assembly camp at Fort Chicamau-
ga, Ca, and was on the first
transports that landed United
States troops on the southern
shore of Cuba, in the vicinity of
Santiago. In the famous charge
on the stone fort at Ell Caney, one
of the outposts of Santiago, the
cOlored boys of the Twenty-fifth
were found fighting in the front
ranks and were among the first to
send forth the cheers of victory
when the colors of the Dons were
stricken from the flagstaff and the
Stars and Stripes run in their
place.
There are a number of men and
possibly two officers in the Twen-
ty-fifth that have been with it for
the last 20 years and experienced
these various periods of activity.
These oldtimers like to tell of
these events as much as the civil
war veterans recall the days of

The BATTLE HAS 6sGUN
SAY SOCIALISTS

The following statement was
orepared by local socialists Satur'
day and will be sent throughout
the county:
~'rhe battle has begun. The
fight is on. All the organizations
of plutocracy, of riot and robbery
in the United States have massed
their forces. shotted their guns and
nv means of a subsidized and SER
vile press and a truculent and in
competent city administration,
backed up by a brutal police and
n county sheriff whose record
smells TO heaven, are attempting
to disrupt and destroy all class
conscious working mems organlza-
tions, both industrial and political,
by means of a riotous attempt to
enforce a prohibitive street speak
nlg ordinance against all speaking
Nv religious or other organizations.
THE ordinance they are endeaV-
oring to enforce has been declared
invalid and unconstitutional by the
police magistrate of this city with
in the week In his stand he is
backed up by a decision of Judge
Sullivan of the superior court in
the case of the City VS.. Ida NJ. Has
lett, as we'll as decisions of the su.

This attack was precipitated by
the Industrial Workers of the

for long period of time without
molestation. Then they began &c
drive their truths home by attack

result the employment agents hac
them arrested for 'disorderly con

the police.
The response of socialists and

to this attack in local and sur.
rounding towns and cities has been
| instant and unanimous. Speakers
and workers are coming by hun.
dreds, on the rods as well as the
cushions, from all parts of the
northwest, ready for the Jail or
whatever is before them, their only
desire being to serve the working
class.
"One hundred and fifty men and
women are now in Jail. Some OF
them have been in the sweat box
for "a hours. a small cement cell
six by eight in the city jail, where
q men were packed like sardines
for this length of time, with no
ventilation save the half of a
grated door. without sanitary con-
veniences of any kind and four
inch steam pipe in full use directly
over their heads.
And yet not the first effort of
resistance to arrest has been made
by any of the $50 men and women
now in the city Jail, 90 of whom
! are being fed on bread and water
because they have refused to worn
out a sentence of 80 days on rock
pile imposed upon them by the
same Judge who three days ago
declared this same city ordinance
, unconstitutional, said rock pile be-
ing a vacant lot opposite the coun-
/ ty court house and owned by a
venerable capitalist, eX-soldier and
/ philanthropist, which the city Of
/ ficials and county commissioners
have Jointly agreed to clear of rock
! for him, free of cost, by the labor
of convicted speakers.
This fight is a greater one than
that of the Western Federation of
Miners in Colorado and Idaho. 1t
is a part of the program in which
Editor Warren of the Appeal and
I President Gompers of the A. F. of
L, have been sentenced to Jail and
fined, and the victory when won,
as it surely will be, will be greater
than that at Boise or MCKees

and thus ultimately liberate the
militant fighting forces of labor as
no victory yet has done. COM

TO HAVE THAT
PUBLIC LAVATORY

City Commissioner Armstrong
has resurrected from the scrap
heap in the board of public works
the plans for a public lavatory to
be built under the sidewalk on one
of the downtown street corners
somewhere close to Howard and
Riverside.
This most sadly needed public
accommodation was ordered nearly
4 year ago by the city council, on
a resolution by Councilman Funk.
After six months of urging the
plans were gotten out of the en-
gineer's office and an order issued
by the city council that the board
of public works proceed to install
the lavatory.

STOPPING YOUR PAPER

Some time ago a cranky sort of
individual came into this office and
, stopped his paper because something
Z In ii did not just exactly suit his
fancy.
We have frequently met him on
the street since then, and 1t is anus
ing to note the look of surprise on
the old fellows face when he realizes
that the editor is still in existence,
regardless of the fact we are no
longer getting his $125.
Some day, however-and it, will
not be long--that old gentleman Will
turn up his toes. His heart will be
stilled forever. There will be a dis
play OF pretty posies and crepe and
the neighbors and friends will fol-
low his lifeless clay out to the silent
city and lay il to rest in the deep,
dark tomb
An obituary will be published in
this paper, telling what a kind hus-
band, loving father, good neighbor,
beloved citizen, and how progressive
and public spirited he was-which
the recording angel will overlook
for sweet charity sake-and in
short time he will be forgotten.
AS he lies out there in the cold,
cold graveyard, wrapped in the silent
slumber of death, he will never know
the last kind word spoken of him
Will be by the editor of the paper
which he so spitefully stopped.
Have you, gentle reader, ever

A GREAT FAKE.

that tho new tariff which has Just
passed congress il worse than the
democratic leaders thought the re-
pubicans would dare do. 1t not
only provides for an actual increase
In the average rate. but II provides
for an additional increase OF % per
cent more. If it does not expose to
the public view the iniquitous pro-
tective system, it is difficult to i'm
agine an excess that would awaken
the public. The truth of 1t is that
the American public is easily caught
by a few phrases. 1t is only neces-
sary for the republican party to
raise the cry of pauper labor and to
assert that without the blessed doc
trine of protection, wages in Amer
lea would fall to a level of those in
Europe, and every man Jack in the
country rushes to the rescue of the
ring. When they apply for work to
these protected industries, they find
the jobs taken by Belgians, Hunga-
rians, Voles, Greeks and the men
whom they have just been voting
against as the pauper laborers of
Europe. 1t is a great fake, this cry
of protection. Peoria Star.
