TO SAVE the BIRDS.

The meeting Tuesday night at
the city hall to take action on the
shooting and game laws, resulted
in an interesting discussion OF the
subject. The sense Of the meeting
was found TO be that the existing
laws should stand, allowing the
shooting Of game in the same sea-
son, as at present, but that more
stringent provisions should be en-
acted preventing the killing OF all
birds, with the exception as noted
above. The indiscriminate de
struction Of bird life at all seasons
Of the year was condemned. A
committee consisting Of Prof j.
H Allen, W. X. Cayitt, Hamlin
Shields, II. G. Rhodes and r. NJ
Nall was appointed to act in con'
junction with a committee from
the Farmers Institute to be- APP
pointed next Saturday, memorial

From Pluck.

From Pluck.
Some months ago, Mr.. Hardy IL.
Newton, who founded the Bryan
League, moved to Houston and, of
course, found it necessary TO give
no the SUPPLEMENTARY Of the A.
C. l.. work at the former place.
He left, however, a very efficient
successor, Mr.. Samuel II. Hunter,
under whoes care the League has
grown to a membership of 1873.
We think the secret of the sue
cess Of the Bryan League lies IN
the fact that both of its superinten-
dents have given the closest per.
sonal attention 10 the boys and
adopted businesslike methods for
conducting the work.
Should you visit one ofthe meet
ings Of the Bryan boys you would
find nearly every member present.
The few absent ones would be away
on account Of sickness and these
would be visited after the meeting
by members ofthe Sick Committee.
Mr.. Hunter offers, not as an inI
ducement, but as a reward, a gold
A. e. l.. badge to every boy who
attends every meeting during the
quarter.
The Bryan A. c. l.. boys have
gone in for athletics and hope to
have the crack football team of the
town. Four ofthe players in town
are not A. q. l.. boys, aud the boys
OF the League have decided that
they must have these on their team,
80 they intend to bring them into
the League. We know they will
be successful, for they are the kind
that never give un.
Mr.. Hunter hopes to raise a suf-
fcient fund TO build a gymnasium
for the boys and the latter are help
ing this along by putting their PEN
MES and small coins in a mite box
which is devoted to this purpose.
Mr. Hunter makes tia point to
make The League meetings inter-
esHng and generally has a speaker
on hand 10 talk to the boys. Mr..
Newton recently visited them aud
gave a talk on Temperance with a
result tina! ftty.dye OF the mem.
bers signed the temperance pledge.
Every quarter an election is
held. We give below the name OF
the officers now in office.

PLUMBERS ATTACK LAW
They Urge That the Certificate Act
Is Unconstitutional.

The constitutionality of the law which
requires that plumbers be provided with
certificates Of competency from the state
board of examiners in cities of 10000 or
over is being attacked in the cases of
Charles Green, Peter Peterson and Gust
Johnson, non-union journeylnen charged
with violating the law. The attack is
made on the grounds that the law is
class legislation, and the cases were con-
tinued until July Is. when the arguments
will be made.
When the cases came up this morning.
Attorney F. J. Geist announced that he
would attack the constitutionaIity of the
statute under which the action was
started. He contends that. as the law
is only operative in cities of 10,O 600 or over
and is law affecting public health, it is
class legislation and consequently uncon-
stitutional.
