the hidden hunter.
There is only one way to be really GER
tain Of bagging a wild turkey even after
the hunter has found a flock. That is to
sneak at night into the grove where they
are Known to roost and shoot them white

iEnne rise birds present an easy inark even
ii a pretty dark night Sometimes TWO or
more can be iiled before the frightened
things can gather their wits .nnrch to flap
away. But that IS assassination ard not
sport.
Coursing the wild Gobblers.
Hunting the wild bird with hound and
horse Is sport for the very select. few. for
rot only is 1t necessary to find the birds
first. but they must be found in open coun-
try where they cannot escape too readily
by flying into cover. Therefore. ccursing
is limited to open country where the turkey,
not having been hunted too fervertly. is in
cautious enough to feed in farm,ands and
open fat country. The dogs are sent in to
cut off the retreat to the woods and then
the mounted men break out o. their hiding
places and pound down them.
The wild turkey flies and runs alternately.
He loFes like an ostrich, though not 20 fast
and whenever he thus takes to running the
dogs and horses gain on him. When they
get unpleasantly close, up beoms, the big
bird and flies like a feathered projectils
straight ahead until he has reached a safe
distance, when he pitches again and re-
sumes running.
1t is clean sport and exciting enough to
hurry any mans blood. But the true hunt
ing of the wild turkey, with shotgun or
rifle, that tests mans strength and cum
ming and woodcraft and patience to the full,
is still-hunting.
1t may be enjoyed still in some parts Of
Pennsylvania. But the best territory for
1t is in the southern states. Virginia offers
1t in the country on both sides of the Blue
Ridge. although 1t is not necessary to go
SO far to reach hauutS of the fine game.
Culpeper county, where President Roose-
welt hunted, is only a short distance from
the national capital and well east of the
mountains.
West Virginia contains thousands of acres
of hunting country that is in many respects
as wild it was before the white men
landed in America.
Western North Carolina has turkeys par
ticularly between the Blue Ridge and the
Great Smoky mountains, and thence on
across into Tennessee the turkey hunter
can still find surprisingly large tracts of
hunting country where not only turkeys but
deer and bear hide in the thickets
At this season the turkey hunting Is, more
desirable in those states than IN the moro
southern ones on account of the bracinS

TOO SENSITIVE.

The Hartford Comm Times, is indig-
nant because an eulogist Of lately de-
ceased member of Congress spoke of him
as one who died poor while others have
GROWN rich about him on the same sal
ary." and The Times says:
In our opinion there is no possible ex-
k,,se for such wholesale defamation OF
she men who make our Federal laws and
4he effect of 1t cannot but be most harm
full upon the minds of the people.
Is not The Times inclined to be super
Rensitive about the matter? The express
sion. while others have grown rich is
certainly not an indictment of all the
members of Congress, nor do We look on
It as wholesale defamation" as The
Times expresses it. rhe real truth Is
that there have been members of Con-
gress and other public officials who have
grown rich by their offices, and could
not have done so by honest methods and
1t is useless to deny it. The statement
made by the eulogst was not as The
Times seems to consider 1t ''fiat-footed
assertion mat il is customary for Sen

their official places to make money but
It was an intimation that some of them
do it, and we are not at all disposed to
take issue with the speaker.
We quite agree with our contemporary
that it is unfortunate that such an in
timation should be true but regrets do
not alter conditions or refute facts. There
are men in the Federal Congress now,
and have been heretofore, who have
grown rich by using their positions to
make money. We do not think tho num-
Der is as large as some assert, hut they
are there. And while some purchase their
seats and recoup themselves afterwards,
others go in poor and come out wealthy.
1t is not an Indictment againt all, but
a statement Of facts as we view it.
while there are many who are strictly
honest. there are Others to use pop
ular expression. and there's no good in

Mr.. Cleveland and the Trusts.

New York Times.
Secretary Shaw's partisan zeal not only
leads him to say many indiscreet things
considering his relations to the Presi-
dent. but many foolish things as well. In
his speech at Abba, Ia, on November 1
he derided the idea that Mr. Cleveland,
while President, ever recommended legis-
lation for the restraining of trusts, and
asks Did Mr. Cleveland ever recon-
mend remedial legislation for trusts 9TH
er than tariff revision? If he did, it has
been forgotten"
The answer to this question is not at
all difficult. In his recommendations rel
alive to tariff revision Mr.. Cleveland
suggested and forcibly urged, the only
remedial legislation for trusts then
necessary or now pressing. He saw very
clearly that out of protection for indus
tries which did not need 1t were growing
conditions menacing the country in va
rious ways. and that if the tariff was re-
vised on lines which would withdraw
from prosperous and well established in
dustries the protection they had then
begun to abuse and have since abused in
the boldest and most piratical fashion, no
danger need he apprehended from con-
solicitations formed with view to econ
omy in production and distribution. Tar
| if revision involving the abandonment of
protection, especially on raw materials
and manufactured products in which our
natural advantages are controlling, was
then and is now not only sufficient rem
edy for the evils, actual or anticipated
due to what are popularity known as
trusts. but the only remedy which could
be safely applied until the evil is much
better defined than 1t is at the moment.
An industrial system which develops I'M
der wholly artificial conditions. unre-
strained by the legitimate competition
which controls output and regulates
prices. cannot fail to become a menace
to the best interests of the country and,
within the limits of its power, an oppres-
SCR of the people. Had the remedy which
Mr. Cleveland recommended with charac-
teristic earnestness been applied by Con-
gress in 1887. or at any time since, the
trust problem would not now he prob
lem al all; but so long as tho trusts re-
main intrenched behind the f0rtitications
of protective tariff in which the sched-
ules work together for good to them
that believe" in protection for its own
sake nothing that President Roosevelt
! may recommend in the way of legislation
| for their regulation or restraint will

accomplish in hunting mountain lions

OUR STATE ELECTION NEWS.

The Advertiser as usual beat its Ala
bama contemporaries yesterday in the
matter of full returns from the State eiec-
ton.
This paper printed nine columns of
news in reference to he Alabama cleo
ton. This news came directly from sixty
one counties out of the sixty-six, and in
most cases from a number of points in
each County. The figures we're very full.
The bulk of this nine columns of matter
came by telegraph from the papers reg
ular correspondents.
The Birmingham Age-Herald printed
only about three columns of Alabama
election news. 1t came from fifty-nine
counties, two less than The Advertiser
had, and the news from most of these
counties was very brief. 1t did not cover
near as many points as The Advertiser
news. This difference is all the more no
table when 1t is remembered that the
State Committees headquarters were at
Birmingham. and The Age-Herald had the
benefit of all that bodys kilograms.
The Mobile Register did not have but
about half a column of Alabama election
news.
These facts and figures again demon
strate the superiority of The Advertiser
as newspaper. When the people of this
State want the news. and especially the
news of important happenings within Ala
bama's own borders, they know that they
must depend on The Advertiser.
