The Bird And The ladv.

Not often is the report of commit
tee a thing which no household can
afford to be without: but the Aud
obon committee on the protection of
North American birds is such a doc
ument All women should read
mark. learn. and inwardly digest it.
for it is a record of ugly slaughter
instigated and maintained by them.
But for the milhners and their clients,
the wholesale destruction of feathered
things would soon cease.
Gulls. terms. and other water birds
have. during the last few years. been
the chief victims of the feminine saw
agery that masquerades as a love of
adornment. So brazen is the brutal
ity of those who covet the soft breasts
of these gentlest and most affection.
ate of birds. that dealers have sent
out scales of prices printed on postal
cards TO postmasters along the Gulf of
Mexico asking them to distribute the
cards among gunners and fishermen.
The report is painful reading even
to minds hardened by a long course of
dispatches from the Philippines. South
Africa, and China. To learn that the
boast OF stalwart hunters in Texas is
that they are able to bag a thousand
birds in five or six days, and to skin.
when in good form, six hundred in a
day. is not pleasant to the most super
ficially humanitarian.
There is a chance that the wholesale
destruction may cease. Ii has been
made unlawful to export from one
state or TO receive in another any
bird or animal unlawfully killed. and
wardens nave been appointed to do
life saving duty among the sea birds
along the coast. The gull may not go
to join the great aux. the buffalo, and
the other extinct races wantonly des-
troyed on this continent. But a care
full study of the report by women
would aid the good work greatly by
causing a cessation of the demand for
plumage.

What Has be Done2
From the st. Albums Messenger

From the ST. Albtns Messenger.
What did Gen. Mccullough do as
senator from Bennington county at
that memorable session of 1898?
Well, in the first pace he made an
anti-imperialistic speech which his col
leagues in the senat- virtually repudi-
ated in series of solutions declar-
ing it to be the will Of the people of
Vermont that the Philippines be re-
tanned. After that? He never intro
duced a solitary bill, resolution. or
petition of any KIM or description
whatever that found mention in the
official record.
One might think hat with such a
statesman as Gen. Mccullough repre-
senting them in the senate. the law
seeking people of Bennington county
would be only too eager to invoke
the prestige and influence for their
pet measures that would follow his
Introduction of then. Who did in
troduce these bills, then? Senator
Robert |. Batchelder of Peru. He is
the man who represented Bennington
county on the floor of the senate of
1898. The official records show il.
One cannot read the daily journals of
the sessions of tn senate without
noticing the conspicuous omission of
any record of any activity on the part
of General Mccullough, while all the
other senators are slown to be work
ing hard day by da' to transact the
peoples business. It is worth ones
while to read the record carefully and
to notice that Whenever the liquor
question was brought to a vote and
the yeas and nays were called for,
Senator John G. MCullough's name
is missing from the roll.
What then is the record of this
statesman in the only elective office
he ever held: Introduced no bills and
straddled the liquor question!

THE CHINESE GAMBLERS,
How the Police Permit That ciame-
Loving Race to Operate.

When II frat became known that the
gambling houses were to be thrown
wide open again, there was a general
scramble for police headquarters by the
gamblers, anxious TO pay their fines
In advance. one of the first to apply
FOR the privilege was a Mongoan with
advanced American IDEAS Chin Chin
is his name and he is accredited with
being the most influential Cinnamon
on Plum Alley, The trouble Chin
says he had before his place was
opened would M book He says that
when he asked the police Il he could
open his Joint he was told that he
would have to put up 500 FOR the first
month. Chin began 10 investigate and
found that a number Of white men had
paid only $50 and he thought he should
not be required 10 pay more than that
amount He says he saw the chief of
police several times but ON each occa-
sion he was told that It would cost
him 500. but finally the amount was
cut in half and he paid the $50, He
now wonders who wanted the other tt-
ty. He declares that the police prom
ised him. in view of the fact that there
were not many Cinnamon In the city,
that none of the other Mongollans
would be permitted to open a gambling
DEM Chin says that all sailed smooth
ly for a few days when he discovered
that All Woo, whose place is in the
rear Of the large building at the head
Of Plum alley, was operating fan tan
game, Upon investigation chin made
the further discovery that Woo, who IL
booked at the police station as Lou, had
20 he "a NJ
excepting q gambling house" A few
days later Chin chin made another
discovery that made him feel decided
ly blue. 1t was that All Kee, booked
as Mig Lou at the station, was operat-
ing not only fan tan game but a
lottery game. Chin found that Koo
had paid his fifty dollars. too Then
Chin said he thought he had a roar
coming, and he complained to the po-
lice. He said he was told that after
this month all the Chinese gambling
houses would be closed up with the ex-
ceptlon Of his place, Chln's place was
visited Thursday night but no game
was In progress. 1--WE closed up about
half an hour ago" he said. Business
he no good now; too many gambling
houses" He then told the story re-
lated above
All Koo's lottery game was also shut
up for the night but about thirty
Mongoians were found playing fan tan
at An Woo's den. They were all jab-
bering like a lot of parrots and were
most intent upon the game but ceased
almost Immediately upon discovering
the presence Of the newspaper men.
They used United States money as well
as their native coin, and for chips used
small white buttons,
Asked how guinness was, he re-
piled:
"Oh. he no good now. Not muchey
play, too muchey money TO pay police.
Fifty dollar he TO muchev"
As before stated the Mongollans quit
playing upon discovering the presence
Of the reporters, but as soon as the
latter started to leave the place, they
returned to the game which Is peculiar
ly fascinating to them.

OF every citizen to take an interest In

Is at the primaries. 1t has been noticed
in the past that many otherwise good
citizens remain away from their party

with the work Of the delegates selected
when they meet in convention. THIS
Is not fair. Help to start the campaign
in the right direction and there VIII
be no need to crlticse its course later
on. our county ticket should maintain
the high standard fixed by the Demo-
cratic state convention at Provo. For
this reason 1t Is urged upon every man
