In Essex. England. the Elscaha1
Sparrow club nourishes. 1t holds 8

Walter Gilbey. describes its work as
follows:
All the farmers ard most of these
who have gardens in the parish. which
covers 1880 acres. and some tenants
Of neighboring farms beL'ng to the
club, which was established II years
ago. The rules are very simple. Each
member undertakes to kill one spar
row for each acre OF his holding be-
tween September l and May l and
sends the heads to the local innkeep
er, who keeps a record of them. II
the members tally falls short of the
total he ought to send he Is fined one
penny for each head lacking, the
money going to a fund which is spent
in refreshments at the annual supper
Of the club held at the inn. The sum
raised by fines, however. is, l am in,
formed, practically nil.
Two sparrOws an acre were killed
annually during the first two or three
years Of the clubs existence. and the
average number of heads TOW sent in
Is about 1900 a year. In addition the
members kill large number OF young
sparrows during the breeding season.

pearance Is concerned. 1t is almost ex-
actly like the rea! ivory that we ge:

liable ivory is the product Of tree
that bears a fruit about the size Of a

pounds. Each fruit contains 40 nuts.

these nuts that furnish the substance

that the trunk Of the tree. which is
not quite a foot in diameter. is much
bent from its naturally upright posi-

ground. One wonders why nature did
not give the tree a stouter trunk, so
that it might bear up the burden Of
the fruit.

1.-THE Federal court 70 'thes's Mol.
dcrs. The chief executive declares
that the present CANDIDATE became
highly indignant at this oppression
Of labor. and Immediately got busy.
He would advise the molders what
TO do. He did advise them. and the
course he suggested was the only pos
sibIe one. Mr.. Taft counsell2d that
the molders hire a lawyer and appeal
/ to the United States Court of Appeals.
As every one known. this is the de-
ton invariably taken by defendants
who are dissatisfied with the decree
of q lowsr court, provided the dis.
cont ented one has the money to pay
the necessary expenses.
MIR. Taft did not pay the molders
lawyer, but he recommended q good
friend and a sort Of biographer OF
his for the job.
Presumably the special friendliness
Of the candidates act lay In charging
no fee for Offering the same advice
that could have been obtained from
crossroads lawyer for Ave dollars.
The appeal was taken a year or
so ago. On the eighth day Of tha
present month. the higher court I'm
dered It's decision. eliminating some
Of the harsher provisions of the Nil
waukse injunction.
Perhaps il the presidential election
we're not coming on next month. the
Court Of Appeals would not have
acted with such precipitancy.
Anyhow, it took two years and six
months for the Iron Molders Union
to secure partial relief from the
injustice visited upon th"m by
Federal court injunction.
Nevertheless. President Rcos' v"i'
81 efully grasps at this straw and
waves 1t frantically before the eyes |
of intsllig mt work,ngmen as con-
argument that ample redress
Of th:ir grievances can be had under
present statutes.
Very well; but how about these
members Of the Iron Mders Union
who may have died Of old age or
from starvation whils the cause was
wriggling through the Court OF APP
peals: And is 1t not barely possible
that the molders might have suffered
logger but for the near approach OF
the election which probably will deter
mine whether United States judges
shall retain unimpaired their almost
unlimited powers. or the libersies Of
the people shall be restored?
That some Republican editors have
small regard for the Presidents arsu.
|ment as q vote-setter. Is shown by
their action in eliminating the dates
Of the various proceedings In the
holders injunction case. Obvious
ly, these gentlemen agree with the
Democrats that two and a half years
Of Injustice under one Injunction de-
cree shows anything but a condition
that laboring men should be satisfied
