Recent Legislation Of Interest TO White Rib
boners" and Others.

We are rejoiced over the following
notable victories achieved during the
past few weeks.
First is the action of the Illinois
Legislature in approprating $4,000 for
a statue of Frances E. Willard. LII. D..
to be placed in Statuary hall of the
National Capitol, Washington, D. C.
The 3Sth Congress authorized the
President to invite each and all the
states to provide and furnish statues
of marble or bronze. not to exceed two
in number, of the states illustrious
deceased citizens" and as Illinois has
but one statue General Shields), il
left the way open for the placing of
Miss Wizards with those likewise
honored by sister states. This is a
recognition of woman in helping to
make this country what it is, and it is
eminently fitting that our peerless
leader should be the first woman to be
so honored, and her gracious presence
amid those silent heroes will make
even that historic hall seem homelike
and pave the way for woman, not only
to stand amid the statues of the great
and powerful of our country. but to sit
in council as well as in national legis-
lative halls.
Second. The order of the secretary
of the navy, abolishing the sale of beer
and other intoxicating liquors" in the
navy. filled our hearts with praise and
thanksgiving. The secretary explained
his position by stating: 1T is not true
that any society outside the service
caused the issuing of the order. 1t
was done at the solicitation of naval
officers themselves
Thus encouraged, the friends of tenn
perance and sobriety redoubled their
effort for similar result in the army.

Women and Birds.

The coming Of Easter always brings
| on the boom in ladies' headgear, and
an attendant discussion Of what is
proper to be worn on the hat. The warm
est end of the discussion, however, is
over the question Of what should not be
| worn on the hat, and the women who
oppose the use of birds as ornaments
for feminine headgear are just now
making a very strong plea for the
cause The birds have some good
friends in the members of the Audu-
bon Society, but those ladies are hav-
ing hard work in stopping the bird
slaughter which they maintain would
cease in case the demands upon the
milliners for brilliant plumage should
end.
The Audubon Society of New York,
held its annual meeting last week in
Rochester, and an appeal was made to
all ladies to join in the movement to
stop the slaughter of birds. Nine.
Lehman, who was the principal speak
er at the meeting, briefly summed up
the situation as follows: II beg all
women and girls not to wear birds or
birds feathers on their hats any more
Every year 25,0000O0 of useful birds are
slaughtered by this terrible folly. The
| farmers are already suffering from it,
and women enjoy wearing feathers like
savages. Flowers and ribbons are a
thousand times more beautiful and
more becoming. 1t is the duty of every
woman and man to battle against this
gruesome folly. For years my hats
have had no feathers"
\ letter from Governor Roosevelt, of
fering his sympathy as we'll as finan-
cial aid in the movement, was read to
the meeting. and the ladies decided
that they would do everything in their
power to enlist their lady friends in
the interests of the cause. Governor
would never accomplish anything by
mere talk. and said that only by inter-
esting the women of the whole nation
in the work and securing pledges could
any satisfactory results be obtained.
| In other states, notably Massachusetts,
the movement has had strong support.
| The fact of the matter is that the mil
| liners can make imitation birds and
plumage that would be as brilliant and
as attractive, and they would do so if
the fair sex would only demand arti-
| fetal plumage.

Honest Government in Cuba.

Whether we finally annex Cuba or
not, it will have to be said that the
United States by it's administration OF
it's revenue affairs has afforded the
world an admirable illustration of the
difference between honest and dis
honest government. 1t is we'll known
that the Spanish customs officials lett
the revenues of the island in most
deplorable condition. In fact, 1t has
been ascertaned that customs houses
We're the most important channels
through which the Spaniards practiced
their general scheme of spoliation. AS
device for the easy and surreptitious
robbery Of the Cubans the custom
house under Spanish officials left moth
ling to be desired. 1t is not possible to
correctly approximate the amount of
annual stealings through this channel,
but it is estimated by Collector of
Customs Bliss at Havana that the
Spaniards appropriated from the Gu
| ban revenues not less than $4,000, 900
year.
That this estimate is not extravagant
| is indicated by the fact that, although
the United States government has re-
duced the customs tariff an average Of
about 60 per cent, there is an album
dance of money for all legitimate pur-
Foc
public Improvement and practical
sanitation which was never known be-
fore in the island. 1t is also an
nounced by Postmaster General Smith
that 100000 was saved in the letting
Of contracts on four mail routes alone.
The result of the abrogat ton of pro-
hibitive tariff duties is already appar-
ent in marked revival of commerce.
Ii is a gratifying fact in connection
with the reduction of these duties that
it has not only stimulated trade, but
has largely increased the revenues, 50
that il has been decided that the cost
Of all army ratiOns distributed after
March 81 as charity TO the poor Shall
be charged TO the Cuban revenues.
The extent to which the United
States is interested in the restoration
of peace and order in Cuba may be re-
allied by reference to the fact that the
value of our total exports to Cuba for
the year ending June 80, 1897, was only
81. 599, 49,. while in 1928, before the
insurrection, our commerce with Cuba
was valued at $1O2, s64 ,2O4, the decline
in our export trade being estimated at
S69, 100000. The restoration of this
commerce and the establishment of the
Cuban revenue system upon a self
supporting basis will, in connection
with the expulsion of Spanish tyranny.
amply justify to the world our forcible
intervention in Cuba.

While the Samoan outbreak occupies
the main tent there is an interesting
side show in progress in the southern
Pacific. 1t has been suspected that
Germany has had an ambition to Sc
cure possession of the Tonga or Friend
1y Islands. which are small but numer-
Gus and lie some $50 miles southwest of
the Samoan group. Germany's threat
TO annex these islands furnishes cir
cumstantial evidence of her desire to
outwit Great Britain and the United
States at Apia; but the promptness OF
British action, in sending a cruiser and
reaching thorough understanding
with the king, appears to have settled
German schemes. The natives of the
Friendly Islands. being Christians and
dominated by missionary influence, ar,
much more readily dealt with than ar,
the Samoans.
