THE ROBIN.

The upper house of the Washington
legislature has decreed against the
robin, the most popular Of American
song birds" The failure of the state
senate to extend protection to this bird
Will sserywhere be deplored, for the
action Of the legislature win serve 10
retard the efforts of humane societies
to do away with the ruthless slaughter
of all classes of birds. In discussing
the matter the Post-Intelligencer offers
the following timely comment;
A bill for the protection Of game birds
their nests and eggs, failed to pass the
senate yesterday by narrow vote, al
though it was favored by the League of
American Sportsmen. Before 1t was
put on its final passage it was found
necessary to exclude robins from the
list of birds protected because some
senators from the eastern part of the
state demanded it. 1t was necessary,
they said, for farmers to choose be-
tween robbins and cherries. 1t is pity
that these farmers and these senators
do not observe the robin more care
fully and take pains to know more
thoroughly what he does and does not
do before before thus wantonly con-
demning him. He may help himself to
few cherries now and again. when
they are ripe, but the vermin which
he. destroys during the long
months when cherries the are not
ripe, would, but for him. do vastly more
damage than he ever does. He is in
deed one of the most useful of birds.
He is also one of the most loyal of all
birds in this latitude. as he remains
with us nearly the whole year. But for
him and few others like him It would
not be possible for any green thing to
grow, much less to ripen. He gladdens
us with his song when nearly all other
birds are silent; he works for the far
mac when the farmer is asleep, and it is
the basest and most detestable ingrati-
tude to begrudge, much less deny him |
few cherries in their time.
Let the farmers and statesmen OF |
eastern Washington study him with on |
ly a very little more care, and their |
thrift, if not their gratitude or honesty
will compel them rather to favor law
making il compulsory to feed him dur
ing the bleak weeks of winter, than to
oppose one that forbids his ruthless !
murder during cherry time.
Any law for the proper protection of
game birds, and especially for their
nests and eggs, ought to find its way
easily to he statute books; one that
protects the robin ought to get unani- |
nous support. To refuse it such sup |
port discrcdits both our intelligence |
and our humanity. Look the robin up |
little more carefully, senators. You |
can find books anywhere that will tell |
you all about him.
