Denyer.=Large numbers of game
wardens' commissions are being sent
from the office of State Game and Fish
Commissioner j. M. Woodland to forest
supervisors and rangers in the employ
of the government. Under late
announcement of the forestry depart.
ment at Washington forest supervisors
and rangers must t as state game
and fish wardens, and they are given
the same power as all other wardens
to make arrests without warrant. For
est supervisors have received instruc-
tions from the department by which
they are employed to furnish lists of
the rangers to the state game and fish
commissioner, and as fast as these
lists are received the commissions are
being mailed.
All this means that in this state this
years and henceforth there will be a
much more rigid enforcement of the
game and fish laws than in the past.
Upon the forest reserves are squads OF
rangers who hereafter will be required
to keep a sharp lookout for violators
of the law Severe punishment will
be meted out to those who fail in their
duty in this respect.

SAFE COUNSEL PREVAILS.
Russian Parliament Settles Down to
Regt lar Work.

st. Petersburg.-Th threatened
storm over the Emperor's refusal to
receive the delegation from the lower
house of Parliament, appointed to pre-
sent to him it's reply to the speech
from the throne, has been averted.
The House Monday adopted reso-
luton to proceed with the regular
order of business and the discussion Of
the agrarian question began.
The moderate leaders of the Consti-
tutional Democrats, after laboring with
the hot-heads until the early morning
hours, succeeded in convincing them
that it would be fatal blunder to
precipitate conflict upon false
issue, and a resolution was prepared
pointing out that the Importance of the
address consisted in it's contents, and
not in the form in which it is trans
mitted to the Emperor.
A resolution of Novogorodseff, urg-
ing the necessity for overlooking minor
incidents and getting to work on agra
rian questions, was unanimously
adopted, after which the House pro-
ceeded with the agrarian debate.
The project adopted by the conven-
ton of the Constitutional Democrats,
laying down the general principle that
the land belonged to those who titled
it, was formally presented, but was
temporarily laid aside to permit the
organization of committees to examine
credentials and investigate the election
of members. Eleven committees, In
cluding the entire membership of the
House and distributed by lot, were ap.
pointed for this purpose

Grand Opera at Home.

Grand opera at home via your tele-
phone receiver is New England and
New York scheme. A central power
plant is to be established wherefrom
music by electricity is to be trans
mitted through telephones to the
houses of the subscribers. A bat
terry of alternators is to be installed
which Will transmit musical electrical
waves and these are adjusted to MS
many different vibrations as tie
strings of piano. To play the instru-
ment a piano keyboard is used. The
pressing of key will operate switch
which Will close the circuit leading TO
the alternators adjusted to produce
the note that the piano string would
produce. But the note will be sound
ed in the ear Of the operator from the
battery itself. The vibrations will be
communicated to the main wires, which
will transmit them through branch
wires to the other end of the tele-
phones There the note will be sound
ed. One of these receiving telephones
will be connected with the operator SO
that he will know how his playing
sounds to all others connected with
the main wires. The receiving te!e-
phones will be fitted with mega
phonelike device warranted to carry
the notes through the room as well az
an organ would. The woodwind, brass
and string tones of the orchestra are
easily produced by mixing the required
harmonics in the required proportions.

Lesson from Figures.

The United States every year ex-
pends about s14O,OOo,00O in pensions
for wars that are past and somewhere
between s1S0,000,000 and 100000 900
in being prepared against wars of the
future. In the last fiscal year there
was paid out for the naval establish
ment 122,000.0 900; for the support OF
the army and the military academy.
$77,000,000. Taken altogether, pen
sions, the navy and the fleet called for
s340,000,000. A comparison between
the costs of the arts of war and the
arts borne by the government is af-
forded by the fact that the agricultural
appropriation for the last fiscal year
was s5,942.O40. The comparison is
made even more striking when we
realize that from 1889 to the present
day. counting the present proposed ap-
preparation, the aggregate apprcpria-
ton for the department of agriculture
are SOS, 1877, ,272.12. or s12,000,000 less
than was expended on the army last
year. Yet we are a peaceful nation, de-
pending largely on agriculture for our
prosperity.

Verdict Of Manslaughter.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Trinidad Wednesday says: Voluntary
manslaughter was the verdict rendered
by jury this evening against Arthur
Lemereaux, the fourteen-year-old boy,
who, with Raymond and Roy Robinson,
were tried for the murder of John Par
lapiano, an Italian rancher, near Hast
ings, May 7th. The verdict of the jury
was surprise, as an acquittal was
confidently expected. The attorneys
for both sides agreed that the charge
against Roy Robinson, who is only
eight years of age, would be dismissed
as there was nothing to show that he
took an active part in the killing of the
Italian.

1t Is the spoken word which is made
public without authority. but more
often 1t is a letter. says Youths Com

suddenly embarrassed. Nor is 1t a
sufficient answer to say that 1t serves

A public man may often say as a
private citizen what propriety would
not allow him to say in his Official
capacity. The fault lies In funda-
mental misconception of the nature
of letter. Every letter not especial
ly addressed to the public should be
considered confidential until the
writer gives permission for Its pub
lication. To treat 1t otherwise is to
show lack OF sense, of honor, Of
courtesy. or of all three. The most
despicable action of all is the publica-
tion of private letter for the sake
of vindicating. or trying to vindicate,
oneself. 1nis whole matter of con-
fidences and the inviolability of let
tiers is one which touches good taste
and good breeding. The real gentle
man will no more be guilty OF a
breach of honor in this direction than
he will be guilty of using against an
opponent piece of information
which was given to him in confidence
Yet-here is a curious thing-many a
person who holds himself to a rigid
rule in such matters as have been
mentioned will regard the affair quite
differently as soon as death steps in.

Filipino Youth Must Give UP Their
Favorite Sport Henceforth.

Seattle, Wash, Sept 4.-Recent ar
rivals from the Philippines tell of a
remark able moral crusade that has
been sweeping the islands. So great
has been the influence of the public
agitation for the abolition of certain
evils that the natives have entered in
to the movement with great zest and
have even cheerfully given up what
has always been considered the nation-
al sport of the Filipino
The movement was started by sever
al prominent natives, who joined with
Americans to abolish customs that
were considered as degrading and un-
worthy of people who are striving
for self government. Father Hardy of
the Catholic church, Bishop Brent Of
the Episcopals and several members
Of the commission were interested.
One of the first evils against which
agitation was started was cocktighting.
This so-called sport was introduced in
10 the islands about eighty years ago
by sailors from trading ship. The
natives are naturally addicted to
gambling and this feature with the
cruelty of the sport greatly appealed
to them. The fever spread until every
town or barrio had It's cockpit.
Every Filipino youth had fighting
cock. He spent his earnings in buying
him, in betting on him and in buying
him solid silver squire. The natives
would take their cocks to church with
them, and. keeping the cocks head
under cover, would go thru the devo-
tions and when over make bee line
for the cockpit. Companies We're or
ganized to built elaborate amphitheat-
ers where games were held.
The incoming of the Americans did
not help matters. Far from home, an
otherwise very humane youth wearing
Uncle Sans uniform, became as cruel
in his delight In the sport as the ma
tives. The Americans with their gold
dazzled the natives with their extrav-
agant manner of betting. and not to be
outdone the natives endeavored to fol-
low suit. Result, every dollar that
the native made went into gambling on
some vicious rooster that had been
trained from chick to fight.
But complete as was the hold of
the sport upon the natives. it has not
been able to stand the great pressure
and thoroughness of the agitation to
abolish the sport From many dis
tricts the reports come Of the tearing
down OF the former cockpits. Several
provinces have made the game a mis-
demeanor and hundreds of natives
have joined society called the Moral
Progress League, which is formed for
destroying thp evil sport.

Renominated for Governor Without
Opposition.

Minneapolis, Sept. 4.-Governor
Johnson and ticket of helpers was
put in nomination this afternoon by
the democratic state convention. The
convention was one of the shortest on
record. In barely an hour after it was
called to order johnson was renominat-
ed. The threatened breach between the
johnson and Hearsth men seem in fair
way to be healed.

Chairman Winston said: There was
never time in the history OF the dem
ocratic party of this state, nor for
many years in the history of national
democracy when we had better
grounds to hope for sweeping victories
in the coming contest with republicans.
The republican party, from one end
of the country to the other. is at sea

ago, to satisfy the low tariff men of
the party, James G.. Blaine introduced
into American politics as cure-all
the word reciprocity" Later when
the people, tired and disSusted at the
slow relief afforded from reciprocal
trade relations that might be approved
OF by the senate, they came forward
with another cure-all, and called it
revision Of the tariff by Its friends"
After eight years OF broken promises
of revision of tariff by friends at last
the present chief executive Of the ma
tion announced. for the present at
least, tariff shall not be revised, either
by Its friends or friends Of the people,

the welfare Of the many above the
welfare of the few. and stand ready

This pair Of questions will be an
swered by the courts of Allegheny
county as the result Of an appeal which
has just been taken from the decision
OF an alderman here.
Dr. Clarence Gukert, q Pittsburg
dentist. has been sued by DR.. r. II. NJ.
Mckenzie for the recovery Of 500, the
price of wooden limb furnished some
years ago to young woman who has
since become Mrs. Gukert. The suit
was brought before Alderman Charles
Anderson, and the hearing was quite
interesting, tho 1t was not made pub
lie at the time.
Former City Attorney Stephen Por-
ter of Allegheny appeared for the de-
fendant, and the ground was taken
that DR.. Gukert did not maTrsp~ !.
wooden leg; that the wooden limb wall
really not part Of the now Mrs. Gukert,
nor had 1t ever been, and that It was
no more part Of her than was her
glove or finger ring.
DR.. Kenzie's side Of the argument
was that the husband was responsible
for the bills Of his wife; that when q
man marries he is supposed to assume
all Indebtedness Of his wife. The arr
gument was advanced that in case OF
his wife's death the husband would
fall heir to her property, etc.
Alderman Anderson decided the case
against Gukert, holding that he should
pay for the wooden limb Of his wife,
So Gukert appealed.

passed by the colonial assembly on
Sept. 20, 1910. In those days appren-
ticeships were much more common than

of dispute between apprentices and
their masters q magistrate should act
as arbitrator and il he found the ap-
prentice in the wrong and the latter
should refuse to return to work he
should be held for quarter sessions as
reserving punishment.
The grievance of Roelofs' twelve ap-
prentices lay in their belief that they
were paid too little wages. BY the
terms of their apprenticeship they We're
entitled to only 81 week each, but
were receiving from So to $40. Believ-
ing they could make more money else
where, they signed a petition for an
increase in pay. When this was re-
fused they absconded and warrants
were issued.
Rather than face term in jail Jo-
seph Goodman, Robert McCauley and
Stewart M. Matthews went back to
work under the old conditions and
promised, to serve out their apprentice
ship.
