The President on Wild Game.

In President Roosevelt's message, re-
Gently submitted to Congress, he makes
suggestions in regard to the preserva-
ton of our wild game that should bear
fruit. He says:
=. Legislation should be provided for
the protection of the game and the wild
creatures generally on the forest re-
serves. The senseless slaughter of
game, which can by judicious protection
be permanently preserved on our ma
tional reserves for the people as whole,
should be stopped at once. 1t is, for in
stance, a serious count against our ma
tional good sense to permit the practice
of butchering off such stately and
beautiful creature as the elk for its an
tiers or tusks."
Referring to Alaska, he says:
''The forests of Alaska should be pro-
tected, and, as secondary, but still i'm
portant matter the game also, and at
the same time it is imperative that the
settlers should be allowed to cut tim
Der, under proper regulations, for their
own use. Laws should be enacted to
protect the Alaskan salmon fisheries
against the greed which would destroy
them. They should be preserved as a
permanent industry and food supply.
Their management and control should
be turned over to the commission of fish
and fisheries"

The Newfoundland Treaty.

1t does not look as If the proposed
treaty with Newfoundland would be
disastrous to our fishermen. They are
given the same privileges in Newfound-
land waters as the Observation-Disclosures
and in return the Newfoundlanders are
given free access to our markets for all
their fish excepting fresh cod. 1t would
seem as if American fishermen ought
to be smart enough to compete with
the Observation-Disclosures under the con-
ditions of the treaty. 1t can readily
be seen that the treaty will open UP to
our products the markets of the island,
which are of considerable value, and
will be of much advantage to us in this
respect. If we are never to make any
reciprocity treaties except such as by
no possibility can put us, or any of us,
In competition with foreigners we shall
never make any at all.-Portland Press.

"Constrain them to come in" or the
need Of urgency.
The speaker referred first to the reiig-
ious need I'm the association as shown by
the statistics and letters of the churches.
He then presented briefly the principle
that the work of the Kingdom and the
church is in the hands or has been com
mitted TO the disciples and this lays the
responsibility upon them. The COM
mand of the text" he said. ''is enforced,
frst by the fact that the highest in
terests OF the community are dependent
upon the churches ana therefore the
value of the church, I'm the eyes OF the
disciple should be great.
IAN enlarged conception OF the value
O. the church will lead To this urgency.
'2nd The disciple should be sensitive
toward the honor Of his Lord this should
be more than a sentiment In him. The
honor OF the Lord demands extension OF
his Kingdom among men, that. he may
have subjects OF that Kingdom. lts
honor demands also such effort that his

TWO CARGOES IN
BaTges With 3522 Tons Of
Soft Coal Arrive In Port.

Two barge cargoes of bituminous coaI
arrived in port yesterday. one OF which,
in the barge Dessaug of 1772 tons. was
consigned to the Consolidated road. ana
was today docked at the Wilkesbarre
Pier. The other cargo. In the barge Ora
Gle. was consigned 10 the Eastern Coal
company, and consisted OF 1750 tons.
This morning one of the best informed
men ~ the city as TO the coal situation
said that there was but little soft coal
arriving. lie considered that the ending
of the strike of coal miners might re-
leve the situation slightly
Among those who follow shipping IL is
the belief that should the strike be ended
there would be such a demand for trans
portation OF coal that the shipping facili-
ties would he wholly inadequate to the
demand. and II would be many months
before the dealers could get anything
like the usual supply. 1t is also the
belief that II will require at least year
for conditions TO resume a normal state.
