FAREWELL TO THE
ROBIN AND BLUEBIRD
Unless New Laws Are Passed They Will Soon Be
EXternlnated
EXte1n1inated.

Another great tragedy is recorded
In Featherland.
According 10 the statement issued
today. Robin Redbreast" is about to
join the vanished birds of America
From all parts of the Northern States
have come inquiries as to why the
robins have not arrived in the Towering
apple and peach orchards and green
meadows Of early spring.
The ornithologists under Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson made an investi-
cation by telegraph, and learned that the
great Slaughter of robins in Southern
States during the winter may practically
exterminate them. It seems that the
soulless Arcadian, or "Cajun," as he is
called by the other inhabitants of Louis
lana, and the cracker" of Texas, Ala
bama, Mississippi. and Florida have for
several years been slaughtering the
friendly redbreast in myriads, the in
creasing population having driven the
larger game bird into the vast marshes
and swamps, where they cannot be
reached.
This slaughter has been going on
about four years. The winter just ended,
however, will be historical because OF
the number OF birds killed.
Are Killed by Laborers.
Thousands of the lowest class Of
italian laborers are flocking into the
Gulf States, where they are displacing
the negro on the large sugar planta-
tions.
1t seems queer, but is nevertheless the
truth, that the Northern men who in
vest in the plantations and other in
dustries seem to have no use for the
negro. When they obtain control OF an
industry the negro has to move on. and
his place is taken by cheap white labor
from Europe.
The genial. warm climate of Louisiana
and her sister States is about the same
as that Of Naples, and the Italians like
IL. Consequently they prefer the Gulf
States to any other locality. The North
ern men are more than willing to hire
them. They stand the heat well, and.
best of all for the employer. their labor
is cheap-in fact. it is at times cheaper
than that of the negro.
Favor the Italians.
The Northern investors, like those
who own the immense Kenilworth plan
tation, in st. Bernard Parish, Louisiana.
explain that they can make a good citi-
zen out Of the Italian in a few years,
whereas generations OF negroes will
have to live and die before they will be-
como imbued with the white mans I'M

Thus the Italian is said TO be better
for the State than the negro, but he is
