No Love for The Robin.

While the rouin is bird that sentiment
has protected from time immemorial, 1t is
unquestiouably pest to ruit-growers.
e. W, Wooster, the well known straw
berry raiser, of South Hancock, voices the
sentiments of all in the business in letter
to the Lewiston Journal as follows:
All berry and small fruit growers in Maine
should write TO the representatives of their
respective districts, requesting that they use
their influence TO have repealed that part of the
bird law which prohibits the killing of robins.
Every berry grower (every sensible one)
knows that the robin nuisance is the greatest
drawback to the growing of all small fruits
here In Maine, and also that the claims set
forth by sentimentalists and those who claim to
be authority on bird diet, that this particular
bird destroys more than enough Injurious
insects to pay for the "small' amount of fruit
they destroy-is very far from being the
truth.
In fact practical observation for years has
fully demonstrated that he does not destroy
Injurious insects enough in his ordinary life
time to pay for what damage he is capable of
doing in one day to a strawberry patch.
The insect diet of this bird Is chiefly earth
worms and grasshoppers. lie does not trouble
the most Injurious insects, unless hard pushed.

Canal Treaty.
III

A treaty bet wesn the United States and
Colombia has been signed. By its terms
the United States agrees to make a cash
payment of $4,000, 600 in gold to the
Colombian government and after the ex-
piration of nine years, to pay rental OF
ESQ 900 per year.
The lease of the strip of land to be used
for the canal and for canal purposes is
practically made perpetual, the provision
on this point being that the first lease
shall be for 100 years and renewal there
after in terms of 100 years at the pleasure
OF the United States. The strip is to be
about six miles in width and over this ter
rltory the United States is given police
and sanitary jurisdiction although it is
explicitly spec fled that Colombia does not
surrender sovereignty over 1t.
The United States Is to have the priv
iiege of free importation OF vessels and
materials to be used in the construction
of the canal. 1t also gives the right to
improve, use and protect harbors at both
the Atlantic and Pacific ends of the canal.
The grant Is made exclusively TO the
United States, and no taxes or rentals are
to be charged in addition to the gross sum
Of so, 900 600 cash and $3.50, 1000 annually.
This treaty has not yet been ratified.

Correspondence.

NohrH rENoBsCor, jan. 20, louo.
To the Editor of The A,nerican.

NORTH pENoBscoT, Jan. %, 1903.
To the Editor of The American:
Every legislature Is buster with private
legislation than its predecessor, and II
will ever be SO until the whole thing H.
made subject to general laws.
There is lack OF system and equality
with which the State is made to aid
towns and individuals, and great ipjus-
tice Is done. Some private scheme, pre-
sented with an array of argumeDtative
facts, which seems exceptional, backed by
strong petition, monopolizes the atten-
ton OF the legislature for the time being,
to the seclusion Of scores of equally as
deserving cases lying silent, until some
keen eyed politician rakes them over.
Every legislator when he first enters
Legislative life, wants to do something
for his constituents, and win at least
notice that he is something more than
cipher in public life; hence the intro
duction OF orders and bills innumer-
able, and too often unreasonable.
We are glad to have been the author OF
the order In '97 for the creation OF COM
mittee on salaries, which has been
adopted by succeeding legislatures.
The demand for an increase In salaries
is ever recurrent with some incumbents
In Office. Iu most cases they have ex-
hausted every effort, and by their siren
uous political life have climbed into the
office, leaving their more. modest and
often better qualified rivals at the front
door. After they are fairly installed and
have tasted official responsibility, their
next move Is to seek an increase in the
salary.
They begged for the office, were sworn
In to DISCHARGE its duties for the salary
fixed by statute law, and to seek an In
crease OF salary for themselves seems al
most violation Of their tacit agreement
"a breaking OF faith with the State.
There are scores of honest and compe-
tent men who would be glad to fill any
one OF our public offices at the salary
fixed by law. To allow these self-assert-
ing, political indispensables to control
the offices, and continually rising salaries
and the dictates Of common sense.
The legislator OF our State is allowed
a salary OF $50 for about three mont his
work, and he is forbidden to raise bis
| own salary; and so unpopular has been
any movement in this direction that
scarcely once 10 decade Is the matter re-
ferred TO in legislative halls.
Why not place all county and State
officials under the same restrictionsf
Unless something is done to repe and
suppress this Unsuitable greed for official
emoluments, and this clamoring for
appropriations for purely private pur-
poses, drastic measures will have to be
adopted to bring a bout reform.

The Tucson Citizen owes an apology to Barrows of this county for the manner in which it classified his vote on the Cowan bill. MT. Barrows was one of Mr. Rowe-s most active supporters to the extent of his abil- ity, in opposing the measure. He was one os the committee who reported adversely on the bill and told how courteously the committee had been received. On the final passage of the bill he voted against it and after the vote was taken announced that he changed his vote from nay to aye fol the purpose of moving a reconsidera. tion the following day. This was the little act which caused discontinue to the opponents of the bill. This no. tice was given before the vote had been announced. Immediately after the vote was announced MT. RoemeI jumped to his feet and moved an i'm. mediate reconsideration of the vote. This motion was tabled and the pas sage of the bill, so far as the house was concerned was clinched. As MT. Barrows was elected to represent "a vapai county in the legislature, the Journal Miner has a special interest in seeing that his actions are not mis- represented, and hopes the Citizen will make the necessary corrections to have his record strengthened out in its columns to correspond with his actions.
