Puget Sound Song Birds.

is proving public benefactor In his ef-

Puget Sound with song birds SlSylarks

McCutcheOn and freed near Tacoma have
been heard from in many places. They
are sweet singers. hardy enough to thrive
In new climate, and DR.. McCutcheOn is
SO much encouraged by the success OF his
first effort that he has ordered another
shipment of birds from England. There
Is no doubt but that the woods OF West
ern Washington, particularly along Pu-
get Sound. can be made the home of
many songsters OF noble quality and rare
plumage. and certainly they add much
TO the beauty and general attractiveness
Of the woods. Dr. McCutcheon says
truthfully "our forests are desoIations Of
silence and our fields lack the life and
song of birds that make other localities
charming" The work he is doing will
alter the situation. and he should be en-
couraged and aided IN his worthy efforts
The beauty Of the woods will be greatly
enhanced by the color. songs. and activ-
fly of birds. Dr. SIcCutcheon has demon
strated the possibility Of peOpling the
forests Of the Puget Sound country with
pretty singers. and Western Washington

Blessed BE the Children.

"A Pittsburg man is erecting an apartment house

That man ought to be very popular around the
White House"

around the White House, and around
every other house. He is a gentleman.

The men who bar children from apart
ment houses are not square dealers.
They may be good citizens, according
to their lights, and well intentioned:
but they are enemies of the republic. for
all Of that. II there were no children
in the first place. there would be no use
for apartment houses In the second.
And if there were no children. there
would be no use working and striving
and manipulating to make the world go
round. If there were no children, there
wouldn't be any use in anything!
Therefore. why should these hopefuls.

Civil Service Anuuities.

The superannuation committee OF the
National Civil Service Reform League re-
news. in its annual report, the opposition
formerly expressed against any plan for
the retirement Of government employees on
annuities the expense Of which does not
fan wholly upon the employees themselves.
The committee repeats its preference for
the Australian system of compelling gov
ernment employees to purchase annulties
as one Of the conditions of entering the
service. Sundry minor objections were
raised TO the Keep Commission plan of
retirement the principal Of which is that
the return to the employe. on his separa-
ton from the service, Of all sums paid
by him TO procure an annuity would
operate as premium on designations.
The alternative suggested by the Civil
Service League committee. however. makes
no provision for the retirement of super
animated employees now in the govern
nent service. According 70 the Keep Com
mission plan. these would be provided
with annuities largely al government e,1-
pense, while those hereafter entering the
service would pay for their own annui-
years hence, the whole cost of the an
nuity plan, aside from the expense Of
administration and interest on payments
would be borne by the benefciaries. The
Keep Commission figured the annual cost
Of annuities for a long series of years
beginning with S7251l0 for the first year
and gradually increasing to Sl,7i6.5Gl in
thirty years. thereafter declining 10 he

annual appropriation would not in any
one year exceed the larger sum above
mentioned. the total for the whole period
required to place the scheme on a self
supporting basis mounts to the rather
astonishing sum OF S50OOO00O or $4,000 900.
1t has been estimated that the govern
ment loses annually about s., 100000 through
the service Of unfit and superannuated
employees. many Of whom are borne on
the pay rolls for reasons OF humanity To
eliminate these employees by the annuity
method means the saving of this sum at
the expense Of annuities The whole an
nuity question, therefore. so far as its
financial aspect is concerned. would seem

As TO Making" a President


Foreseeing the utter collapse Of the Taft
factions in the Empire State, the New
York Herald comes forward with this
Conciliatory suggestion.
President Roosevelt would find IL advantageous
from every point o. view TO support the candida
ture Of Gov Hughes. He could not make a better
move. II he is anxious 90 establish his reputation
regards postrity and If he has any idea of play
ing the role Of Warwick IN American political life
By making the President when ne retires from
the Presidency himsif, the most diplomatic step
he could take in this direction would be 70 put for
ward Gov. Hughes the candidate of his personal
choice. Victory Tor the Republican Tnrty would ha
certain. and all the credit for il would 50 % Mr.
Roosevelt
We should be very much disappointed
in Gov. Hughes II he permitted himself
10 become the personal candidate Of
any party leader. 40 matter how eminent
or powerful. What has chiefly contrib
uted 70 his good fame is his independence
of all bosses, OF all external control He
IS owned neither by the politicians nor
BY private interests. lie has not sought
advice or support from Washington or
Oyster Bay He is firmly planted on his
own bottom. and if the people OF the
United States should happen TO turn
toward him In their search for a Presi-
Dental candidate. he would win favor as
a popular, not as a personal choice.
And il the American people do want
another New York man for President.
why should they petition Mr.. Roosevelt
20 nominate and elect him? We are
sure Gov. Hughes Is not waiting for
Presidential Endorsement. For If he should
receive and accept it, he would surrender
at once his unique independence, his re-
markable hold on the imaginations Of men
who love unshackled character. To at
tempt to make Gov. Hughes President
might win credit for Mr. Roosevelt but
the governors prestige would scarcely be
enhanced by a label reading personal
choice"
There is a way to promote the Presl-
Dental prospects Of Gov. Hughes without
subjecting him to the humiliation OF sur
render TO a political dictator. If the
Roosevelt crowd would get out OF the
road, Hughes path would be clear Why
not a fair field and no favor for all Presi-
Dental aspirants?

Where Do Thcr GetIt,

From the Philadelphia Record.
Every once in a while some Of our
gangsters make ostentatous show Of their
opulence by the purchase or sale Of lands
or stocks and bonds; sometimes they die
and surprise their friends and fellow
citizens by posthumOus disclosure Of un-
suspected wealth. Where do they get it?
This reminds us Of a story they tell of
