of the measure is advocated by every
sportsman and bird protective asso-
citation in the country, and it is OPP
posed only by the market men and
the milliners. For years efforts have
been made to get such bill passed !,
but it has always been hard work to
get congressman enough interested
in it to secure it's Introduction. The
bill practically is one to make pun
ishable the receiving of stolen pro-
perty, though the people who oppose
it object to having it so called. The
measure provides for the enlarging
of the powers of the Department of
Agriculture so as to prohibit through
the Interstate commerce laws the
transportation from State to State of
birds killed in violation oflocal laws.
In a nutshell it means that if it is
against the law to kill gulls and terms
in Illinois the person receiving such
illegally killed birds in another state
may be punished. The law forbids
the traffic in contraband goods, which
is now so remunerative to lawbreak
ers that it is carried on extensively.
The passage and enforcement of this
federal measure will no more to save
the birds than any ten laws now on
the statute books.

THE COUNTRY PAPER,

Congressman Chas. B. Landis in
an interesting article in the April
Success pays a high tribue to the
country newspaper and points out
the debt that is due it from the com.
munity it represents. He says:
"The country newspaper man fash
ions the politics of this nation. Upon
him Lincoln leaned. Oliver p. Nor.
ton, Indiana's great war governor,
said score of times that he could
not have saved Indiana to the Union
without the assistance of the country
editors. They were ALWAYS brave
and fearless. One might be assault
ed and his plant destroyed, but he
had his wounds bandaged, put in 9
nep outfit, and fought on for Lin
coin and the Union and the freedom
of the slave.
"The country editor nominated
Cleveland in 1892, and will nominate
Bryan in 1900, and all the metropolis
tan newspapers I'm the county can
not prevent it. 1t was through coun
try editors that Mr.. Hanna worked
prior to the St.Louis convention tha
nominated William Mckinley; anC

antagonize their chief executive, it is
the country editor who wires: Stand
by the President;' and, with the re-
preventative who has enough sense
to obey the will of the people, that
telegram is law, for the representa-
tive recognizes in the expression of
the country editor the voice of the
community in the midst of which he
lives. The country EDITORS influence
on county politics is paramount. He
is a delegate to the state convention
and is generally on the committee on
resolution. He insists on candidates
thatwill justify eulogy ahd platform
that he can honestly champion. He
insists on dc ing the county printing
when his party is in power, and he
is right about it. He not only ought
to do this work, but should be paid
a good price, for even then the COM
munity would remain his debtor; for,
as matter of fact, he does more
work for which he gets no pay and
casts more bread on the water that
returns to him in the shape of badly
soaked dough than any other man in
any other profession.
"If the final estimate of a mans
life-Work is made from the stand
point of honest endeavor and unset
fish devotion to the community in
which he lives, | am not afraid OF
the final score oi the country editor. y

AN ABLF PAPER

Congressman Albert j. Hopkins, ,ot
the House Committee on Ways and
Means, has a timely article in the
April Forum on "The Puerto Rican
Relief Bill" Some of the facts he
presents cannot be refuted. Mr..
Hopkins maintains that the Puerto
Rican Bill, which passed the House
of Representative early in March,
has been much misunderstood, and
that it is a just and meritorious
measure. He clearly demonstrates
in preparing the Puerto Rican Bill
the object was to benefit the Puerto
Ricans. If Congress were given the
power to legislate for them in a man
ner suited to their conditions, Mr..
Hopkins holds that they can be given
larger liberties and better civiliza-
ton than they have heretofore en-
joyed, without imperilling any of the
safeguards which are part of the
inheritance of every American citizen
and without endangering the great
laboring interests of this country
the glory of the Republic, maintain
ing that if no other question were
involved in the Puerto Rican Bill,
not only were the Republicans justi-
fed in passing it in the House, but
their duty to their constituents and
their countrymen demanded of them
it's enactment into law at the earliest
possible moment.

PETTJCOAT Politics,

Walter Wellman in his Washington
telegram to the Times-Herald gives
this view of Admiral Dewey's candi-
dacy: ...
1t is impossible to give the facts
about Dewey's amazing candidacy
without bringing in the name of his
wife. Ordinarily the wives of public
men are and should be free from
newspaper criticism or comment of
any other than social nature. But
everyone in Washington recognizes
that George Dewey is now in the
hands of his brilliant and ambitious
wife. For months it has been the
gossip of the social world that he
was falling more and more under her
influence, and not even the best
friends of the admiral and Mrs, Dewey
deny that the candidacy for the pres
idency is her handiwork. Everyone
comments on this more in sorrow
than in anger. There is everywher re
genuine regret that man who has
occupied the high place Dewey has
in the hearts of the American people
should allow himself 20 be forced in
to O ridiculous attitude through pet
ticoat politics and the wreaking of
feminine spite. 1t is too bad that
such words have 80 be printed about
great national hero and q most
charming and popular woman, who
has long adorned the society of this
capital, but i'm no other way can the
true history of this amazing episode
be written.

These figures are very interesting.
Note the high prices paid for Ohio
wool during the Republican Admin
stration of President Harrison from
1890 to 1898.
Then note the decline of 10 to IL
cents per pound between the 1898 and
1897 January prices during the free
trade administration of Grover Cleve
land.
Note once more the sharp advance
in wool values in 1898 to 1900. 1t is
needless to say this was under pro-
tective tariff and Republican Ad-
ministration-during Mckinley pros
perity.
Western farmers will see to it that
the high price of wool is maintained
for another four years by voting for
Mckinley and electing only Republi-
can Congressman.
Every farmer should cut this out
and paste it up by his fireside for re-
ference in the first few days of next
November. -:

magazine could be more happily or
more helpfully adjusted to more i'm
portant interest of the present mo-
ment than is the April number of the
North American Review. Not only
does this number afford American
readers the most effective oppor-
tunity available to them for master

contains several contributions whose
literary excellence will entitle them
to attention for many years to come.
With characteristic earnestness of
