A VICTORY FOR THE BIRDS.

The announcement that the NillineEs.
Protective Association, representing
nine tenths of the millners of the coun-
try. and the Audubon Society have
reached an agreement that birds are no
longer to be used in trimming hats,
will be grateful to all lovers OF birds
as we'll as to those who have not been
able to admire that rather hideous
form of ornamentation.
The terms of the agreement are that
the millners are not to use or procure
any wild North American bird for or
namenting feminine Cor masculine for
that matter) head gear and each mem
Der Of the society is bound under n $500
forfeit not to violate this pledge. The
Audubon Society in return covenants
not to attempt TO secure legislation pre-
venting the importation OF foreign
birds or the use of the plumage Of do
nestle fowls by the milliners. The
president OF the Audubon Society says
of the agreement:
vrhe millners seem to have come to
terms. The bird saving work has been
pushed so hard that they have come to
Il realization that the Audubon socic-
ties mean business. If it be agreed 10
accept their proposition the birds OF
North America are saved. TIE MILL
ners cannot violate the provisions be-
cause the fact of IL violation, appearing
on woman's bonnet, would be known
in an instant
THE eastern bird protectors believe
that the Audubon societies should ac-
cept the millncrs' terms. There will be
some feeling, Of course, that it may be
selfish OF us to agree not to push legis-
lation looking TO the protection of for
eign birds. but North America is n big
place, and If we can save every sea
bird and songster from the north pole
to the lsthmus of Panama we are doing
IL big work. ana that is what we will
accomplish practically If we accept the
milliners' proposition. for 1t is the NIL
lipery trade more than anything else
that is responsible for the depletion of
the bird ranks
This should go far to correct an evil
that threatened the extlnguishment OF
American birds whose plumaee is such
as to attract the marauder who muir
dered them by the thousand for the
price the milliners paid. 1t Is equally
a victory for good taste and for the
birds.

"A DEFEAT OF SCIENCE.
Baltimore Newsl

The first authoritative statement
ABOUT the recent total eclipse OF the
sun from scientific sources comes from
Professor Crew, OF the Northwestern
University. who says in an interview
In the Chicago Inter Ocean that the OBJ
Servations of the total eclipse we're
total failures. Professor Crew Is well
known in Baltimore. and was formerly
connected with the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. which Will make all the more
interesting and trustworthy his express
sion of opinion on the scientific value
OF the observance.
The explanation given for the failure
is that the instruments used were too
powerful. These. instead of giving
valuable data. In most cases left alb
solutely blank Photographic records.
In the seconds during which the sun
was totally eclipsed time was too pre-
cious to trust to the human eve and
all observations were photographed
The development of the photoCraDhic
plates has been one series OF Gisap-
pointments. and the work OF years of
preparation is practically wasted
This Is the first adverse view of the
scientific work of the eclipse that has
been given from competent sources.
None but can regret that the members
OF the scientific expeditions were rot
provided with n series OF instruments
OF varying power, by one, at least. OF
which plates of the proper clearness
and value might have bsen obtained.
1t will not be until 1913 that an oppor-
tun1ty will occur to repair the cxpen
sive bunder. and in the meantime we

THE ANONYMOUS LETTER
WRITER.

1t Is conceivable that there may be
circumstances under which the writ
iting of an anonymous letter would be
3usdfable. 1t cannot be genteel. 1t
is matter OF record that good motives
have sometimes prompted the writing
OF an anonymous letter. but of the
practice as a whole there is nothing
good to be said. The anonymous letter
is always the product of moral coward
ice, even when 1t Is not the product of
malice as we'll; and 1t is nearly always
an anonymous letter with the best of
motives Is entitled to no commenda-
ton because he is afraid OF RESPONSE
bility for his actions; the anonymous
letter writer whose purpose is to wound
or to insult comes pretty near to en-
braclnG in his own proper person all
that Is contemplate in the human
species. Compared to him the secret
assassin is n hero and the open SLAM
derer one OF natures noblemen.
The practice is. we believe, less COM
mon than was formerly the case, but
1t has by no means ceased altogether:
nor is it confined to cranks
and to the morally irresponsible. The
anonymous communication Is some
times couched in excellent English and
is written with an adroitness worthy Of
better cause.
Nobody of course, is immune from
the insults of the anonymous scribbler
Only recently one of the most estima-
bic women OF Norfolk has been singled
out as victim of such insults, three
scurrilous letters having been sent her
in succession. While the postal laws
are stringent enough to meet all such
cases they are palpably difficult of en-
forcement because the criminal cannot
be apprehended save in rare instances.
1t is not necessary to point out that
there is nothing in common between the
anonymous letter writer and the writer
for publication who prefers for reasons
of his own to withhold his name from
the public. though it has always seemed
to us much better that the man who
has anything to say to the public
should say it over his own name.

HANNA's IDEA OF A TRAITOR.

The armor plate of Marcus Alonzo
Hanna was again the recipient Of few
soft-nosed projectiles in the Senate de-
bate on the House antitrust bill. Mar
Gus Alonzo is not particularly facile nor
prehend that defect, in bovine fashion.
The one thing that is always sure to
provoke an onslaught from the re-
doubtabe boodler is any reference to
his performance as n ways and means
committee in 1896. His political oppo-
nents in the Senate are we'll aware of
Ilannas weakness for proving that the
Republican campaign committee was
dreadfully hard up in 1896. and never
lose an opportunity OF exhibiting him
in that mirth moving role.
In the debate in question, however,
Mr.. Hanna, 1t seems, was only giving
aid and comfort to Senator Carter. who
p:ece ded him as chairman Of the Repub-
lican national committee. Mr.. Carter
body has a Senator found himself in a
more unenviable light; not In the his
tory of the country has there been q
more pitiless exposition of the corrup-
ton and pertidy of political party
than Mr.. PettiErew gave in his relation
OF how Cramp got his contracts for
warshlps by contributing 100000 to the
campaign fund of the Republican party.
Mr.. Carter replied by denying that
Cramp had held a conversation with
Mr.. Pettigrew. though he could not pos
s!bly have known, and Mr.. Hanna
helped him out by asserting that Mr..
Pettigrew Is traitor to his country"
or course nothing could be palmer
than that anybody who dares expose
the rottenness OF the Republican regime
is a traitor. Mr.. Bristow will be n trail
tor before he gets to the bottom Of the
Cuban business. There were traitors in
Ayers day There are traitors now
who insist on knowing how 100000
came to be spent for six miles of rail-
way in Havana that Is not worth $780,
900: yet other traitors carp at Commits
sloner Peck's business methods. 1t is
really a land OF traitors and is getting
more traitorous every day, as the reek
of scandal comes stronger from the
camp of the pure patriots" who want
pay for their patriotism.
1t is strange that at this late day
Hanna and the other boodlers should
be getting sensitive over their cam
paign fund. It's sources of supply and
methods Of disbursement. Four years
ago they were rather proud of it: brag-
gcd about 1t, indeed. as showing that
all the business" element of the coun-
try was behind them. The boodlers
have grown less insolent and more ir-
ritable. The reason OF the change Is
doubtless to be found in the near APP
preach OF the time when $500 oC0 contri-
buttons will be sorely needed; publicity
tends to discourage them. Therefore
is Hon. Pettigrew a Benedict Arnold in
the eyes of Marcus Alonzo Hanna.
