with the sale of game in open market
during the closed seasons. but they
have been unable to prevent persons
from killing game during these sea-
sons and shipping it to states where its
sale is not prohibited. The Lacey bill
covers this deficiency in the state laws.
Of course it is the duty of the state
to look after the protection of the song
birds within its borders. The Lacey
bill brings to mind the fact that these
birds are useful as well as cheerful
companions. Their place in the econ
omy Of the world is not alone to make
music. They are the authorized de-
stroyers of the troublesome insects,
which if not properly policed, destroy
fruit and flowers and peace of mind.
Congressman Lacey's bill enables the
agricultural department to cooperate
with the various states in restoring
the natural bird life that may have
been driven from that locality and in
introducing such new species as may
prove welcome.
The passage of the bill by the house
means that the legislative represents
tives of the people of the United States
have formally expressed their disap-
proval of the wanton or mercenary
slaughter of mans feathered friends.
1t is hint to tagging states to look
after their own interests in the mat
ter. 1t is unfortunate that any state
should require law to protect such
useful and beautiful things as birds
and trees, but boyish thoughtlessness.
woman's vanity and mans greed must
be reckoned with in lawrnaking. Con-
gresham Lacey has done the country
a service in bringing SO important a
matter forward for formal considera-
tion.

Colonel Wattersop continues to ex.
plain his explanations of why he pro,
poses to support a platform this year
that made him desert his party in
1896. 1t will be recalled that in 1899
the colonel conducted his bolt under a
''No Compromise with Dishonor'' ban
ner. His various explanations go tc
show that the colonel has not compro
missed. His connection with Goehel
ism has caused him to execute an UNI
qualified surrender.

hunters. We hope it becomes a law.

Rural Delivery of Mail.

Oskaloosa Herald: Rural free deliv.j
cry of mails has no stronger advocate
in or out of congress than Major Lacey
and thru his untiring efforts he has
succeeded in having one established au
Brooklyn, one at Hedrick, one at New
ton, one at Ottumwa, and one at Os.
kaloosa, and he is now Zealously at
work trying to secure q number of
others for the district. To must be re-
membered that the number to be es-
tablished each year is limited, and
that hundreds and hundreds of petit
lions go in from all parts of che corip-
try.
The rural delivery is experimental
| yet, and expensive, and appropriations
for them are made by congress out
side the postal receipts, and this gives
uncertainty to its being extensively ex-
tended. 1t is hoped, and First Assist.
ant Postmaster General Heath thinks
the system will increase receipts suffi-
GENTLY to nearly pay the expense, but
this will take time and will depend
upon those accommodated. The present
congress has appropriated $1,750,O0O
for the continuance of those now in
operation. and for the further esta.b-
fishing of routes and il is very likely
that the delivery of mail by the Star
Route mail carriers in various parts of
the country will be attempted, and this
no doubt will be much appreciated by
those along the route, for it will be in
reality rural delivery and in many in-
stances will be superior, especially il
the Star Route is daily one, as mail
will be delivered both coming and go-
ing" and if the route passes one or
more postofices mail will be taken
from Them for delivery along the
route.
1t is the intention and purpose OF
the postofiice department. to SO en-
large the delivery of mail that the
country as well as the city may have
all the advantages of quick and prompt
delivery, but it means time, patience
and expense to accomplish it.
Every plan and scheme for the bet-
terment of the service has had The aid.
the support and the energy of John F.
Lacey. He has given every detail stu
dy and investigation, and no man in
congress today is better posted on all
the workings of the department. than
he, and none are more ready or mora
anxious to extend it to all than he.
The dispatches from Washington
tell of petitions for the extension of
the rural mail delivery being received
by all Iowa congressman, and that Ma
jor Lacey is engaged on a plan to unite
in an endeavor to have the system es.
tablished all over the state.

Max Cregier. of Chicago, who has the
contract for the installation of the new
police alarm system, endeavored to have
the clause of the contract, which de-
mands that the wires from terminal
boxes to the nearest poles be laid under
ground, changed. Mr.. Cregier explained
that the conditions which existed at the
time of the drawing up of the contract
have changed, and it would require a
great deal of trouble to carry out the
letter of the contract at this time. The
commissioners present did not seem in
clined to make the concession requested
by Mr.. Cregier, action being deferred I'M
til the next meeting. The clause in this
contract which required that the switch
board be placed in the city hail was
changed, as it was afterwards deemed
advisable to place the board at Central

instance without fear or favor.
Besides his sister, Mrs. o. M. Sandy,

JAMES u. strTToN.

James II. Sutton died at his home in
Lincoln county. Nov. 18th, 1900. at the
advanced age of 81 years. He was born
July ., 1916, in that portion of
Lawrence county afterward EN-.
braced in Lincoln, about one mile from
the home in which he breathed his last
and which is situated on Bogue Chitto
river, miles south of Brookhaven.
where he had lived since 1899. Before
the war he owned number of slaves,
and farming was made the business of
his life For the long period of 65
years he raised enough corn, meat, po-
tatoes, molasses, vegetables, fruit,
milk, butter, poultry, cattle, ETC., for
home consumption. Cotton was al.
ways raised by him as an extra or sur
plus crop, and he usually made about
IA bales year. As years passed and
new industries sprung up, Mr.. Sutton
became one of the prominent saw mill
men of the county and gave the name
to Sutton's Switch, from whence he
shipped his lumber.

young manhood, beside ID living chill.
dren, 81 grandchildren and 80 great
grandchildren.
Politically, Mr.. Sutton was Demo
crat up to few years ago, when he
espoused the cause Of the Prohibition
lists, to which party he remained true
up to the time of his death. He had
been a subscriber to THE LEADER since
its first issue 10 years ago and always
paid in advance; sometimes two years
in advance.
He was a man of fine physique and
commanding presence and was pos
sessed of great executive ability and
discriminating practical sense. He
could have been leader in business
or profession more public than that of
farming, had he chosen different
path but he could never have left a
name more unsullied or honorable to
those who follow after. Such names
and such lives are ornaments to the
pages of history.
The funeral occurred on the 18th at
the family burial ground in the pres
ence of vast concourse of friends who
had known Mr.. Sutton through many
years and the services were conducted
by Rev. r. j. Boone, who paid an elo-
quent tribute to the memory of the
departed.
