From Sioux Falls comes the report
that Senator Pettigrew is preparing
to food the state with literature
in furtherance of his candidacy to sue
ceed himself in tho United States SEN
ate. Twenty-eight sacks full of mail
matter, franked from Washington by the
senator, arrived there by one mail tram
last Saturday. Most of the documents
in the consignment are said to be copies
Of speeches delivered by him in the
senate with reference to the sultan of
Sulu. The literature will doubtless be
distributed from there to every part of
the state with the expectation of max
ing votes for Pettigrew.

If the Black Hills counties fail to
unite on man for congress, it will be
the fault of a few individuals in Law
renee county, says the Rapid City Jour
nal. Every other county in the Hills
stands ready to endorse Z. w. Martin,
and it looks now as if he would be en-
dorsed in Deadwood. Those who
oppose Martin in Lawrence county are
not doing so in the hopes of nominating
any of the Hills men for congress, but
for the purpose Of dividing tie Hills
forces 80 that both congressman may be
nominated from east of the river, thus
making Hills man eligible to the
United States senate. The senatorial
timber which they hope to select is, Of
of course, one OF their own number.
The excellent gentlemen who are allow
ing their names to be used as opposition
candidates to L. w. Martin shoull ap-
preclate the fact that they are beiug
made cats paws of. and decline to be
thus used. This county would at this
time willingly endorse any available
man of Lawrence county who might re-
ceiye the endorsement of his own coun-
ty, but our people will rebel against
being dictated to by few individuals of
Deadwood. There is no question but
that the sentiment of the republicans
generally both in Lawrence and other
counties of the Hills is favorable to the
candidacy of Mr.. Martin, and these
would be statesmen are now doyising
plans by which that sentiment may be
evaded and the will of the people avert
ed. To avoid this scheme of selfish
politicians, the republican citizens Of the
Hills should arouse from their lethergy
and discharge the duties of citizenship
by not allowing matters to 60 by de.
fault Those who are making a busi-
ness Of politics are hoping to accomplish
their designs and defeat the will of the
people ofreason of popular indifference.
"Whom the Gods would destroy, they
first made mad" but not so in all cases
with the politician. He allows his vic
tim, the people, to sleep, and it might
be suggested to the indiferent-"per-
chance to dream, aye. there's the rub !;
for in that sleep of death what dreams
may come"

Editorial AssociatIon

Which met in Parkersburg 22d,
28d and oath of this month, was
pretty fairly attended,
+ Speeches were made by Gov. At
kihson and others, and oongratu-
latory greeting was sent by Soma
tor Scott.
Wednesday, evening a banquet
was rendered by the citizens of
Parkersburg at the Blennerhasset
Hotel, to the visiting editors. 1t
was greatly enjoyed. The toasta
and responses were brilliant dis
plays of oratory and wit.
The banquet was one of the
"swellest' affairs ever seen in that
city, and no one but Lloyd Smith
could have conceived such an elab-
crate menw of good things.
The Parkersburg people pat
themselves to extra trouble to make
the stay of the editors pleasant,
and Mr.. Lloyd Smith, proprietor
of the Blennerhasset Hotel, was
particularly kind to the editors,
and took pleasure in showing them
all the points of interest about the
city.
The Street Railway Company
extended to the editors the courte-
sizes of their lines without money
and without price"
Too much praise cannot be be-
slowed upon the hospitable people
of Parkersburg.
This was q meeting of the West
Virginia Editorial Association
that will long be remembered by
tho editors, and every ono of then
will have good word to say fo'
Parkersburg.

Impudent Trusts.

We wish to apologize to our
readers for the paper upon which
this and the last issue or two of
the Spectator has been printed, for
we are in tho hands of tho Paper
Trusts This creature promises
one thing and sends another. So
Independent and mean is the paper
dealer from whom wo have been
buying that he about as good as tells
us if we don't like what paper he
sends us we can make the best of it.
We believe the time is not far dis
tunt when this Trust will dictate
what newspapers shall have paper
and what none, and thus be able to
muzzle the press. This will surely
follow unless times change and the
Republican policy is changed by
rebuke from the people. Tho
power of Trusts is in its infancy.
They arc the creatures of the Re
publican party, they are destroying
everybody and everything in their
way; and it will not be long before
they will drive whOmsoever they
plense out of business. They have
thrown 10000 drummers out of
employment and closed thousands
of individual storerooms with their
department stores, and they have
just begun business The individ-
ual and the poor and weak are be-
ing reduced 10 powder under the
heel of this Republican monster

MORE ABOUT BIRDS.

In nearly every case whore the
food habits Of our birds have been
studied, it is found the good they
do far exceeds any damage they in
hict. Suppose we allow 25 insects
day as an average diet for each
bird and estimating we have y
birds to tho acre, in this State,
only. You readily see what an
enormous amount of benefit they
are. Again estimating the mum
her of insects to fill bushel ut IL,
600, it requires about that number
it would require thousands of
bushels Of insects to feed our birds
single day. Our estimate is low
when we take into consideration
the number of insects our various
kinds of birds have been known to
destroy in single day. For ex
ample, tho stomachs of four Chick
ADDE'S contained, 1923 cankerworm
eggs. -Four others contained 600
eggs and 1O5 mature females of the
same insect says Naturalist.
The stomach of single quail
contained 1O1 potato beetles; and
that of another 500 chinoh bugs

had eaten 175 larobe of bibio that
feed on the roots of grasses. A
careful perusal of the various works
that have been written on the eco
nomic relations of birds to man
will support the statement we be-
lieve, though broad and sweeping,
that if we were deprived of the SER
vices of birds, the earth would
soon become uninhabited. Don't
kill the birds. We should by ev-
cry means protect them. We may
be cranky about this matter but if
so can't help it. People are too
careless in needlessly taking the
lives of birds They need more
and better protection than our
statues throw about them Let
preacher preach it, our teachers
teach it, parents instruct their
children and authors of school
readers write more and useful les
sons on the subject and the world
will be the better for it.

COMPLICATIONS WITH GERMANY.
New Haven, Oct. 2.-In a let
ter dated August 20, written by
Thomas Daven, a seaman on the
flagship Brooklyn, in Chinese
waters, to his mother, residing
here. he gives the first account
of rumored international COM
plications between the American
and German forces. He says in
his letter: "We will be fighting
Germany next. They insuited
our admiral yesterday, but they
had to come to time, for il they
had not, they would all have been
sunk. We surrounded their
ships and Admiral Remey clear
ed for action. Then he went over
to the German flagship, where
they apologized to him in short
order. When the admiral came
back we thought we were in for
a good time. We had our guns
trained on their ships and that
scared the Germans. When
their admiral returned Remey's
call he was afraid trouble was
ahead of him."
