Japan seems to have played fair

our interest in preserving the integrity

Admiral Evans. who is in command

man for the place, and there can be no
question but what the rights OF .Ameri-
cans will be safeguarded so long as he
is in charge.
The fact that Japan began hoStili-
ties before making any formal declara-
tion OF war has precedents enough:
the United States did about the same
thing in the Spanish war. The first
blow counts a good deal, and Japan
getting that first battle, means much,
which her skilful naval men realize.
In numbers the Russians and Japa-
nese fleets are about the same in cas-
tern waters, but in reality that OF ia
pan is much superior. are faster and
are better armed. 1t is probable that
she will soon defeat Russia at sea.
and it will then be a case OF how long
Russia can. or wishes to prolong a
hopeless struggle. Russia has, OF
course. immense resources. and can
transport troops over the Siberian
railway IN an almost endless chain.
But if Japan commands the sea. | am
convinced that she can land forces

marine boats, although l believe that
a few of the Holland type are now

These, however, cannot be completed
in time to be OF any service in the
present war.
What chiefly interests naval men
in the reported engagements is the use
OF the torpedoes Torpedoes are
really an unknown factor in modern
warfare. ] have always believed in
their utility, but though they have
been carried on warships for years,
there has been no practical demon
stration OF their availability. They
were not tried in the Spanish war,
and while some sort OF an attempt
was made to use them in the Chinese
war. it amounted to nothing. The
engagement at Port Arthur. If as the
newspapers tell us, proves conclusive
ly the use OF the torpedo boat. They
cannot. OF coursce. be used in battle
in broad daylight. but at night or IN

ROBINS EARN THEIR CHERRIES
%Destroy Insect Pests and Save Far
More Fruit Than They Can
Possibly Consume, ri.

An orchardist at Fulton makes COM
plant against the robins or "Jack rob
ans" as he calls them. He says they
are nipping all the blossoms off his
cherry trees. They just strip the trees.
and the ground beneath them is white
with blossoms. He says the wicked
birds tear the hearts out of the bios
SONS and then bite the stems in two
and let them fall, and fears that. his
cherry crop will be ruined, say the
Portland Oregonian. Amember of the
John Burroughs society who has been
apphed to for information on this sub
3ect says the orchardist is mistaken;
II the robins do cut off any blossoms
1t Is only defective ones, or such as
have insects in them, and that the birds
are doing good instead of harm. He
says he puts up nests of boxes among
his trees to enable birds of any kind,
even sparrows, to make their homes
on his grounds. He says that birds help
themselves to few cherries when
Sipe, but they are welcome to them, an
they have earned them by destroying
insect pests. It is hoped that this in
formation will satisfy the orchardist.
1t Is doubtless correct, for If robins
were as destructive as he imagines
there would long ago have ceased to
DO any cherries in Oregon, while the
TACT Is that the cherry crop is large
almost every year, and Of great value,
The birds must mot be condemned on
false or mistaken testimony.

monkeys along the Amazon. To him
one is about as much consequence as
the other. 1t is not until the game is
practically exterminated that he is
willing to sidetrack a measure fixing
the height Of wire fences and permit a
game law to have the right of way.
Even then he wants to be certain that
it wont cost anything. A good Zeal OF
this apathy is due to luke-warm public
sentiment, the prodortion of those who
hunt being small to the great mass of
the people. 1t is decidedly refreshing
to find our two leading state papers, the
Argus and Press at Sioux Falls, taking
a hand in the matter. None of the
editors or owners of these newspapers
have a minutes time TO devote 70 the
field. More the honor TO them. As a

Indifferent TO that which does not
directly concern their profits or pleas
ures. In the older states wild game is
looked upon as an important food sup
ply, and TO such an extent that ven
song birds are protected because Of the
demand for the feathered tribe as a
table delicacy. Tile restocking Of fields
and forests after the game mas once
been exterminated is possible in this
country, but the government is spend
ing millions in fish propagotion-and
the streams and lakes must be- con-
stantly guarded from poachers. No
finer game bird is found in the world
than the pinuated grouse, commonly
known as the prairie chicken They
have made their last stand in the
Dakotas and Minnesota, and only in a
limited area are they now found abun-
dant enough TOT make the the sport
worth the effort. OF late years the law
for their protection has been fairly well
enforced. Let there be more OF it.
What is wanted most is a paid state
game warden and a small appropriation
for each county, so that a county war
den can give his whole time to the work
for at least two months plior to the
open date. Any county could well
afford to appropriate 500 annually to
this end. And let the licenses for non
residents be raised to S25 same as it is
in other states, and turn this money
and fines over to a county game fund,
to be distributed among deputy game
wardens. II is a useless waste Of energy
to appoint wardens with no compensa-
ton. They are paid in other states aud
should be paid in South Dakota.
