The proper enforcement of. the
game laws, especially in counties
where the larger game still has its
haunts. is a serious problem. 1t
is true we have our two state game
wardens, but we have failed to see
the state warden for this district
within the confines of the county.
and consequently he does not know
the conditions of things. 1t has
been reported, and on reliable au-
thority. that the beaver and deer
in Mercer county Are being killed
at the present time and the fact
has been reported to the state game
warden Of this district for action.
We have always held othe opinion
that The sheriffs of the different
counties are the ones who should
look after the protection of the
game. In the discarge of their du-
ties they are here and there around
the county and are in a better po-
sition to observe and protect the
game, than a man some 200 miles
away, and who holds his Office by
right of a political pull. In a few,
more years, under the present sys-'
tenn, we will have nc use for game
laws as there will be- nothing to
protect. The Missourisslope,. tie
natural home of the deer and other
|game=-o could ~be-niade hunter's'
paradise if the laws weresenforced.
The arrest and, sconviction last
week of the two hunters who were
caught killing beaver shows that
the citizens are awakening to the
fact that it takes something be-
sides mere laws to protect the
game of the state. It is now up
to the legislature to devise ways
and means for protection. Import
a Fullerton for a couple, of years
and give him full swing.

THE CHRISTMAS A S

This is the last issue of THE
LEADER before Christmas day. AS
on former occasions, The LEADER
takes this opportunity to extend its
good will and its Christmas greet
ings to all its readers. 1t is not
possible, in our daily lives, to pre-
sent individual tokens of good will
and affection. That custom is
possible in the family and the home,
where the circle is limited. But in
Il big family, like The LEADERS.
it is not possible to meet andgreet
each reader personally" So this
means is taken of expressing the
compliments and greetings of the
Christmas season.
At this time, it is we'll to look
about us and see how we have pros
pered in the year that is closing
and what we can do to assist those
of us who have been less fortunate.
This is the ideal spirit Of Christ.
mas-the spirit that prompts good
will and remembrance and that is
not happy unless others are like
wise enjoying the season. Fortu-
nately for us in this favored coun-
try, nature is SO generous with=her
bounties, and the land returns so
literally what is put into it, that
we have little poverty or distress.
For this condition we may be de-
voutly thankful. The year has
given us all abundant harvest. The
soil has yielded bountifully. Set
Element has been active. In the
gains of the past year and the glow
promises for the future of Wash
burn and Mclean county find their
most substantial Christmas pres
emit.
Still, there is one gift we all can
make to the city and county and
that is the gift of our best efforts
for good and for general improve
ment. Let US pull together, each
giving of his store Of energy, hard
work, push, Observation-Disclosures
we will build up town worthy our
dreams and county that shall con-
tinue to be, as t is even now, the
best and richest in the state.
The tBADER wishes all its rea-
ders a Merry Christmas. It will
continue to labor for the upbuila-
ing of the city and county. It asks
for 10 Christmas present but the
confidence of its readers and their
support in maintaining a clean,
decent, uplifting weekly paper.
That is what it has tried to do and
will continue to do.

CAR WILL SUPPORT REFORMS
Endorses M. Whites Program for Peas.
ant Equality.

M. Witte, president Of the ministerial
council, to whom, as chairman of the spe-
cial committee appointed in 1902 to inyestf-
gate the question of the betterment of the
conditions of rural enterprise and general
revision of the peasant laws, was confided
the task of sitting the enormous mass of
evidence collected, including the opinions of
II 900 Of the best-qualified peasants land
lords, merchants and manufacturers, which
filled several thousand volumes, has COM
pleted the gigantic task.
His conclusions, which have just been
published. are in line with the most enlight-
ened opinion for ameliorating the peasants
condition.
These conclusions which are understood
to have the Endorsement of Emperor Mich
olas and Minister Of the Interior Sviato-
polk-Mirsky, are expected to be adopted by
the commission as the basis of new law.
In order to accomplish the treatment of
peasants on a plane of equality, NJ. WHITE
proposes to abolish practically the whole
system of laws applicable to peasants alone.
At the same time the backward condition
of the vast majority of peasants, and the
fact, IL placed on a complete equality in the
matter of holding and disposition OF prop
erty, they would soon become the prey of
the shrewder among them, as well as of
merchants who would like to possess their
lands and keep them in a state of perpetual
debt, is fully recognized.
He therefore recommends the preserva-
ton of certain laws designed solely for the
peasants protection, such as the inalien-
ability of communal lands and institutions
For the management of the one and for the
freedom of the other from debt special laws
will be recommended, supplemented by
methods whereby peasants may leave their
communes under certain safeguarded condi-
lions or delimit lands for individual owner
ship. There is also in contemplation the
organization OF a system of land credit and
a scheme for the settlement Of state lands
by peasants who want larger opportunities.

SITUATION AT ZEIGLER.
Men Go Armed Ready to "Pop" Strik
ers at Drop of Hat.

Joseph Letter returned to Chicago Satur-
day from Zeigler, ILL.,, where with his new
brother-in-law, MAJ Colin Campbell he
spent week inspecting his coal mines and
laying plans for conducting long and Wig
orous campaign against the strikers
A recital of the experiences of Mr.. Letter
in his little mining camp in southern Hi
nois contains all the thrilling embellish-
ments of tale of frontier life. When in
Zeigler the multi millionaire capitalist and
mine owner, brother of Lady Curzon and
of the prospective bride Of the Earl of Suf-
folk, lives in a constant state of siege, with
heavy guards surrounding his domicile and
brace of pistols in his pockets, ready for
service al a moments notice.
Mr.. Letter said:
Its great life at Zeigler At am.
I make a round of the mine tipples and
buildings, as well as the homes of the men,
l carry a couple of good, trusty pistols in
my hip pockets, and / may say that l am
not at all backward about using them If
occasion requires.
"Why, l would sooner kill one of those
hounds down there than get present of a
million dollars. The strikers never modest
me, for they know am not afraid of them,
and that l would shoot to kill the moment
any of them made move toward his hip
pocket 1 am going to run my mines and
break up that band of cutthrOats outside
If 1t takes me eighteen months to do it, Ny
plans are laid for long siege and at every
to strengthen our position. ] have force
of seventy-five mlitiamen from the Ma
tional Guard of Illinois, who are at the
service Of the sheriff ready at moment S
notice to help in case of an emergency. In
addition, l have sixty deputies sworn in as
United States marshals, all of them armed
to the teeth. Any of them would shoot at
q drop of the hat.
my men carry big shotguns, loaded with
buckshot. / may say that they have about
the same regard for the cutthroats out
there at Camp Turner as l have.
II suppose there are about 5000 strikers,
all told within a radius Of ten miles of
Zieger. The whole country is in a state
Of siege, but the largest body of strikers
is at Camp Turner.
II go right through their camp every
time l 60 In and out of Ziegler, and l will
continue to visit the mines any time l see
fit rega rdless of threats of death. Every
mail brings me scores Of anonymous letters,
in which threats are made that l will be
killed on sight or the town blown up with
dynamite. / do not pay any attention to
them.
1.-THE output of the mines now Is about
1000 tons day. We have AO men on the
pay roll but expect by February l to In
crease the number to $50. l will then be
able to turn out from 1900 to $500 tons a
day."
