The Apple.

1t was an apple. an exchange says,
which was the forbidden fruit that
so tempted Adam and Eve that they
fell from their high estate, We dc
not know whether apples grew on
the tree mentioned in the Bible, but
SO common acceptation tells. ltwas
a golden apple which was the apprO-
pirate prize for beauty when the
Greek goddesses Wed with each other
for the beauty awarded at the hands
of Paris. Scandinavian legends had
it that when their gods felt their pow
ers failing, they ate apples, Such
wide spread testimony is certainly OF
some value Scientists tell us that
|apples contain more phosphorus than
any other fruit or vegetable. Its
acids are particularly healthful and
beneficial An apple country is a
country where the best results in
man-making may be obtained.

The Steady Man.

We'd like TO write Il little rhyme
about the steady man. who keeps on
pegging all the time and does the best
he can: the man who early goes to
work and doesn't get home late. who
never tries TO shirk in order TO be
great. There are some fellows who
will try to do their business tricks
and have finger In the pie of city
politics. They try TO put-,on lots OF
style and play heavy role. and in a
little bit O while you find them in a
hole. l like the man of steady pace;

desire to place more irons In the fire.

How Democratic Ideas are Stolen.
YELM, Dec. 6, 90.

YELM, Dec &, 90.
Ed. STANDARD:
| wonder how many of our rcnt"rE'-
oJIy mteiiigeM citizens know that
there is a 10th amendment to be vot-
ed on during the session of our COM
ing Legislature? Both Houses of
Congress voted almost unanimously
for it at the last session. Congress
cannot amend the Constitution. it
can only propose amendments. The
Legislatures of the several States
must vote upon the proposal. If
both Houses in three fourths of the
States vote in favor Of the amend
ment it will become Il part of the
Constitution, the supreme law OF
the land. 1t remains to be seen
what hold the capitalist class of the
country has upon the control of the
government, for they will naturally
do all they can against it from selfish
motives. 1T is very difficult to
change the Constitution. \ mere
majority in either House in twelve
States would be enough to defeat
this or any other amendment, and it
is seldom the case that the country
is so, nearly unanimous on any inn
portant question that an amendment
can be ratified. The purpose of the
, proposed addition to the supreme law
| is to give Congress power to levy an
! income tax. Such a tax was pro-
posed, but President Taft advised
Congress to wait for constitutional
amendment to give Congress the
power, for the last decision of the
Supreme Court on the subject was
| that an income tax was uncOnStitu-
tional and void Most people re-
member that Democratic Congress
in 1892 passed law, taxing the in
comes of the rich; that is, all incomes
over $3, 900 a year, but the Supreme
Court by majority of only one, de-
cided that this was unconstitutional
Previously, the same court had de-
cided by one majority. that it ,cas
constitutional, but one Justice sud
denly changed his mind, giving q
majority of one against the tax.
How much he got for changing his
mind God only knows and he won t
tell.
We all know that during and after
the Civil war n Federal income tax
was collected, and the Supreme Court
in every test case said it was consti-
tutional. Those who kept posted

IN sEMI-TRoPIcAL RUSSIA.

One commonly thinks of Russia as a country of rigorous climate and only the most rugged sort of agricul- ture. The average conception does not include the thought of people who never saw snow, of a section of coun- try resembling in topography, soil climate and products the great de- ciduous fruit valleys of California. Yet, of course. this information might be obtained by a little research.
 But people are usually remiss in nothing more than their knowledge of geography and comparative pursuits in different lands. Such institutions as bring together men of various new and old world countries for an inter change of knowledge and ideas are, therefore, of inestimable value to all people Such an institution has been the irrigation congress at Pueblo. Representatives from Australia, Rus sia, Germany and other foreign coun- tries attended it and contributed to the sum total of information and wis dom in which it abounded. E. E.

 And later he expressed the idea from which the play gets its name. Miss Revendal does not quite under stand the fervor of the Jew Then David:

Skorniakoff, engineer in the ministry
 of agriculture of Russia, was there, and, having completed a tour and
 study of the United States covering a period of nearly two years. was able to offer some valuable advice upon the subject of irrigation as prac- ticed in Russia and in this country.
 In the course of his address he brought out the fact that 14.000.00O acres of land are today under irriga- ton in Russia and that upon this land are being produced cotton, rice, grapes and fruits common to semi tropical climates. And this system of irrigation. which is much older in Russia than in the United States, is being steadily expanded It is offer ing homes to homeless and is to fur nish an outlet to that ever-veXing problem in Standardization and employment for the poor and op pressed. Russia has a population of l50. .O00, 600 and an, area of 9,OO0,OOO square miles.
 At a glance one may perceive the immensity of Russia's social problem and the excellent possibility of it's so- lution. With a climate so mild in the southern section that snow is un- known, and with the government pro- noting irrigation and fostering plans for settlement, we in America may afford to modify our judgment of the Russian government in its attempt to work out the destiny of these hordes of poor. people. Evidently it is making some progress. Evidently it does not mean to leave the task for Americans to perform.-Omaha Bee.

 Even his Jewish uncle turns away from David for the stand he has taken and reproaches him with being a visionary, and once more David cries this plea for the Jew:

 David-"What immunity has our race? The pride, the prejudices. the dreams. and the sacrifice. the tradi- tions and the superstitions. the facts and the feasts. things noble and things sordid, they must all go into the crucible.'

 Gardner was called to the stand and refused to testify Robert Elder, first assistant district attorney of Kings county (Brooklyn), repeated a conversation which he says he had with Gardner last March, previously referred to as the confession"
 The narrative created a sensation. Briefly, he told of a dinner at Del monico's, where there were prominent men friendly to the race tracks; of $500. .O00 subscribed to a corruption fund; of the distribution of the fund to politicians, and well-known Albany correspondents of New York news papers, and of the secret grievance of the late Senator Patrick McCarren, who worked for the passage of the bill.

Zangwin writes from his heart" The sight of the ships from Europe, laden with i'm migrants for these shores, has touch ed his imagination. His hero is young Jew, David QuiNano, whose parents have been murdered in Rus sia He has been wounded but has escaped. and in this country is com posing a symphony, the music of which shall express some of his gratitude to America as a home of refuge for the oppressed, and making his living meanwhile by giving violin lessons. He meets Vera Revendal, a Russian Christian, and they love each other. She is a revolutiOnist and has come to America to escape Siberia. Tn the early part ot the play David says to Miss Revendal:
 You must remember that all of my fife l have heard of America everybody in our town had friends there. or was going there All my life America was waiting, beckoning shining-the place where God would wipe away tears from all faces. To think that that same great touch Of liberty. which threw its light across all the broad seas and lands into my little garret in Russia. is shining also for all those other weeping millions of Europe Shining wherever men hunger and are oppressed; shining over the starving cities of Italy and Ireland, over the swarming cities of
