AN HISTORIC PARALLEL.
How many students of history
have sousrht a parallel for the
present state of affairs in Rus
sia ? So far as known, the near
est approach to anything of the
kind is to be found in the time of
Nero Nero was a weak, vacil
lating creature; vain and conceit
ed. So one may conclude of
. Czar Nicholas with but small
stretch of the imagination.
Morally, Nero was worse than
. the Czar, but times, ideas, condi
tions and the standard of morals
were different in Nero's time
from what they are today. Nero
had mistresses without number,
" while the Czar is allowed a mor-
eranic wife. There is a distinction
here without a difference.
Nero surrounded himself with
a lot of dissolute courtiers, who
forced all of lower rank to bend
to their will as they bowed to the
ceazar. The Czar and nearly all
his ministry have for years fol
lowed this practice.
During Nero's reign, nobody
was certain of life, nor property;
there was no law for just protec-
tion; virtue and dignity and honor
were reviled, and at last there
was naught but one vast orgy of
rapine and murder. So, on a
smaller scale, but equally large
according to the present standard
of morals throughout Christen
dom, has been the cruelty and
persecution practiced in Russia
.. during recent years.
I Czar Nicholas has been sur-
rounded by more than one Tigel-
linus, nor has he had the strength
pf character to heed any Petron
ius who has spoken. Indeed, as
in the case of Petronius, any man
who dared advocate reforms in
Russia was in danger of losing
his life. For years there has
been a reign of madness, if not
terror, in Russia. But it will not
continue much longer, or else al
signs fail. ,
At last Nero's time came; the
people became bolder; revolt oc
curred and "Bronzebeard" found
himself no longer feared nor re
spected- -He fled for jhis life, but
realizing escape was not for him,
concluded to die an heroic death
He placed a knie at his neck
home. Epaphroditus struck his
hand, whereupon Nero's "feet
kicked the ground and he died
During the recent past Czar
Nicholas is reported to have con
eluded that it was time for him
to die. ' It is said that he scratch
ed himself, somewhat, but possi
bly it smarted a little, or the
sight of .blood may have sicken
"ed him, or some one may have
suggested that he refer the mat
ter to his ministry, or at any
rate he didn't succeed. : Why was
' not some modern Epaphroditus at
, hand.
Can the reader see an historic
parallel? Considering . the ad
vancement of civilization, has
- Russia improved to any appreci
able extent over the methods of
Nero ? Will the Czar live to old
age, as Uzar 01 Kussia, ana me a
peacful death ? or will he sue
cumb to dirk or dynamite at the
hands of an enemy? These are
questions that are hard to answer,
but are food tor thought.
RAISE FRUIT.
If, anybody is casting about for
something in which to invest
some money, it is suggested that
they go : into the . fruit-raising
business. - There is no reason on
earth why this should not be a
money-making pioposkion"'f or aU
wno win give it axriai, ,
Of course some capital is re
quired, "as fruit of any kind re
quires some time before it can
yield. But once started, proper
ly attended the reward for capit-
al invested and care required,
should be very satisfying. Land
suitable for this purpose, within
a reasonable distance of this ciiy,
can be secured without paying
an exhorbitant price.
But he who would essay the
task of making money in fruit
culture must not be a laggard-
work is required and . lots of it.
The closest attention to various
things is necessary. At one time,
according -to the older inhabit
ants, as fine apples were raised
in the Willamette Valley as can
be produced anywhere on, earth.
Why can they not be grown as
fine today ? There is no good
reason why they" cannot.
Small fruits not only pay well,
but do capitally here. Such being
true, why is it that so little at
tention is given to-the culture of
beyries and the like ? No finer
berries and various kinds of
small fruits can be found than
we produce and, yet there is al
ways a scarcity 01 the same in
the local market. The prices are
always sufficient to pay the man
well who engages in the busi
ness.
Do not all run to seed on the
same thing, be it wheat, stock
raismg, dairying, chickens, or
what not; some diversity is what
we want and need. Apples and
small fruits are neglected. Who
can declare, truthfully, that with
prorer care and attention Benton
County fruit would not equal
that of Hood River? -
