ItESHJENT WILSON did
a ,
brave deed when he nomina
ted Rrandeis to be a justice
of the supreme court for he !
knew what the consequences would j
be both to himself and to the can- :
didate. The nomination gave bit-
tor. offense to the most powerful I
group ot men in tne i nited states:
and they fouf'ht it , with every re-!
source which unlimited wealth and
unscrupulous Intelligence placed In
their hands.
1 i l i
The president understood when j
he made tbe nomination what ene
mies he would excite and what
their methods of opposition would
be. But his knowledge did not de
ter him from his duty. It was his
part to give the American people
the best judge for the supreme
court whom he could find In the
country. After full consideration
he decidec that Bradeis was the
man for the pla-e and therefore he
chose him.
The enemies of Brandels used
every weapon against him which
Ingenuity and maljce could devise.
They were restrted neither by
conscience nor shame. No slan

THE DAINTY ROSE
By Thomas Hood
I WILL not have the mad Clytie
Whose head is turned by the sun;
The tulip is a courtly quean
Whom, therefore, . I will shun; -The
cowslip is a country wench,
The violet is a nun;
But 1 will woo the dainty rose,
The queen of every one!
The pea is but a wanton witch.
In too much haste to wed.
And clasps her rings on every hand;
The wolfsbane I should dread;
Nor will I dreary rosemaryc.
That always mourns the dead;
But 1 will woo the dainty rose.
With her cheeks of tender red!
The lily is all in white like a saint,
And so is no mate ior me
And the daisy's cheek is tipped with a Mush,
She is of such low degree;
Jasmine is sweet, and has many loves.
And the broom's betrothed to the bee;
But I will plight with the dainty rose,
For fairest of all is she.

THE REAL "STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE"
From the Kansas City Star.
Perhaps no writer has been more
widely misinterpreted than Charles
Darwin, who complained bitterly in
bis letters against the misrepresenta
tion of his Ideas. A whole philosophy
of force, whigh holds that war is the
cause of human progress, has claimed
to have a foundation In Darwin's the
ory ot the "Btruggle for existence"
and the "survival of the fittest."
George Nasmyth, in a new book, "So
cial Progress and the Darwinian
Theory" shows that such belief is in
entire contradiction to the ideas of
Darwin, who based his whole theory
of social progress upon Justice and the
moral law.
It is to be suspected those who
speak of tbe struggle for existence as
between man and man have not read
Darwin, but have obtained their opin
ion of the meaning of his terms from
popularizers who have distorted his
theory. In a section of one of his
books, headed "The term struggle for
existence used In a large sense," he
says :
"I should promise that I use this
term in a large and metaphorical
sense, including dependence of one
being on another, and including
(which is more important) not only
the life of the individual, but success
in leaving progeny."
As for the phrase, "survival of the
fittest." It Is found to relate to tbe
struggle of man against his environ
ment not sealnst other men. To ouote
j Darwin again:
"Let it also be borne in mind bow
infinitely complex and close fitting
are the mutual relations of all or
ganic beings to each other, and to
their physical condition of life; and
consequently what infinitely varied di
versities of structures might be of
use to each being under changing con
ditions of life. . . . This preser
vation of favorable individual differ
ences and variations, and the destruc-
struction jobs myself, so I know whnt
1 speak of. Hut there is always some
one butting in where he has no in
terest, and if he would read up he
would understand that we have free
speech ln Oregon. The Oregon laws
gave us that much.
Hut let us hope the working class
may get good wages this summer, so
they won t be begging for jobs next
winter. C. t'AMPHKM..

Milwaukee, June 2. To the Kditor
of The Journal I am a mother or si
kind' and tender hearted children. As
a child a cat was one of my play
mates. I was not allowed to handle it
roughly, but was taught to be kind
and gentle and feed it, and I have
taught my children likewise. "A Hird
Lover" writes In the Uregonlan. "Kill
the cats and save the birds' lie did
nH pign his name. I can t blame him
for that. This brings to my mind a
boy in the state of Washington, of
whom I personally know. He chased,
abused and killed every cat he could.
His parents thought him manly and
brave. At the age of 16 or IT he
killed his father. Taking life, human
or otherwise, meant little to him.
I,et us teach our children kindness

birds. Last winter I fed hundreds. And
I feed my cats. too. I do not kick them
out to do as they can, or stare. I
have never yet known of their catch
ing one. A look In my yard very of
ten will reveal the cats curled asleep
on the steps, with robins and spar
rows feeding on the lawn.
One neighbor will not have a cat.
His house is alive with rats and mice,
destroying food and clothing. Last
winter these same people never threw
a crumb out to help save our birds.

have called natural selection, or the
survival of the fittest.
"We shall best understand the prob
able course of natural selection by
taking the case of a country under
going some physical change, for in
stance, of climate.- The proportional
numb.-r of its inhabitants will aloiost
immediately undergo a change and
some species probably become extinct.
. . In such cases, slight modifi
cation, which in any way favored in
dividuals of any species, by better
adapting themselves to their altered
conditions, would lend to be preserved,
and national selection would have free
scope for the work of improvement."
"Those who believe in the distorted
form of "social Darwinism," Doctor
Nasmyth writes, "obessed by the idea
of struggle, forget entirely the great
est struggle nf all, the struggle of
man against his physical environment,
because it is so common and omni
present.. The relations of men to the
universe are infinitely closer than
those of men to each other. A man
may live for years without contact
with other men, like Alexander Sel
kirk, but tbe necessity for adaptation
to the physical universe'is constant.
"Man. In common with all animals,
Is compelled to engage In a continual
effort to maintain a constant tem
perature. He cannot live more than,
a few minutes without air, or a few I
days without water, or a few weeks
without food. The danger from dip-
ease germs is always present. The 1
greatest waste of the philosophy of j
force and the war system consists in
the fact that, having accustomed u
to consider collective homicide as the
source of all civilization. It diverts our
energies and our attentions from the
real struggle against the exterior uni
verse and the common enemies of
manhind to the destructive struggle
against the artificial enemies whom
we create, on account of false ideas,
out of other parts of the human race."

"At a High Itate of Speed."
From the Kansas City Star.
A motor car struck a dog last night
and turned over. That nobody was
killed was a fortunate accident. The
news story says the car was traveling
"at a high rate of speed." When a car
is upset it usually has been traveling
at a high rate of speed. Cars traveling
at a rate of less than 20 milea an hour
don't get Into accidents.
