WILL NOT RUN UNDER FIRE.

WILL NOT RUN UNDER FIRE.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is
no quitter. He says he would not
think of resigning while his depart
ment Is under fire, and all fair-mind-
ed men will commend him for It,
Secretary Wilson has doubtless done
as much as any one man could do to
straighten things out. He is certain
ly not deserving of censure for not
knowing that some of the men in his
department were not all that they
should be.
If an official appoints or employs a
person he knows is dishonest, he
should be blamed for the conse-
quences, but If he appoints or en-
ploys a man in good faith and with
confidence in his integrity, and the
man turns out crooked, fair-minded
persons will not censure the official
who acted in good faith. Secretary
Wilson is quoted as having said:
when / came to the department
found some roller-top desks and
some half-starved scientists, and
had to make department from that
material. II was a job. But this new
board of four scientists will be well
paid men of high standing in the
community and an opportunity will
be given them to travel. Each one
will make his individual report, and
then they will be compared. The as
sistant secretary will be fifth mem
Der of the board. No more reliance on
one man. One may get sick or die or
leave or. prove rascal, and leave us
in the lurch."
IL is plain that Secretary Wilson il
the right sort. He is a credit to his
country, and his announcement that
he will not resign will be we'll re-
ceived.

TULIP FARMING IN IRELAND.

the blossoms and the rough breezes, lie the
sand dunes and the sea- shifnmering and

SEA BIRDS ARE DISAPPEARING.
Many Species Have Become Extinct
and Others Are Threatened.

From the New York Mail
No one knows better than the sailor or
the shore hunter how the sea birds may be
exterminated. and no one better than the
Indian or the trapper OF the deep woods
how sometimes the widest and most
abundant land species may disappear. The
wonderful great aux. or garefowl has.
within the memory of men now living. been
hunted from the face Of the earth so that
It's skins and eggs. are now worth their
weight in gold. Practically the beautiful
wild pigeon. which once darkened the skies
with its vast and cloud-like flight. has met
the same fate. though small colonies OF IL
in remote spots undoubtedly still exist.
The eastern pinnated grouse Is also prac-
ticalIy extinct. In the Cha than Islands
alone In the Pacific. seventeen species OF
birds have become extinct
On all the islands of the sea and at all
the shore spots to which sea birds resort
the work of slaughter is being carried on
quite relentlessly. Largely for purely hui
name reasons and incidentally In the In
terest OF science the National Association
of Audubon Societies Is engaged in tho
work of trying to save the birds from
determination. Several species are teing
systematically destroyed for their featneis
Fashion, of course, does not care whether
these beautiful creatures are eNtermlnated
or not. The scarcet they become up to the
point of their actual disappearance the
greater the prices realized for their
feathers and the deeper the JOY taken by
the wearer of the ornament. And when al
last they are all gone-why. there VIII De
another of Gods creatures to put through
the same process
This association has forty wardens guard
ing some of the key colonies of these sea
birds This may guarantee them from
total destruction at present, but does not
insure the maintenance of the Dlrds OF the
species in question in such numbers as 20
