ly interested in the fight now being
waged in Washington by Stephen j.
Chadwick of CoIfax for the supreme
judgeship of that state. Judge Chad
wick's father was secretary of stare
for Oregon, and afterward succeedd to
the governorship when the then Cover"
senate. His early days were spent in
Salem and he married a Portland girl.
There are many reasons, therefore,
why the people of this state are in
terested in his career, and wish him
the greatest success in his ambitions.
These reasons are not altogether per
sonal, strong though they be in that
respect as well. Judge Chadwick has
been elected and re elected in his home
district 60 the circuit bench, notwith-
standing great partisan opposition
to him. He has succeeded because he
deserves success and merited it by the
superior quality of the service which
he rendered on the bench.
In this respect it is generally con-
ceded that no man could have better
record. He has been upright, and
straightforward in his judicial reta-
tions. and he has reinforced these NOR
al qualities with a mental and pro-
fessional equipment for which the
members of the bar have the greatest
respect. 1t is all this in combination
together with a very pleasing person.
aloty. that has made him judge in his
present district, latterly without oppo-
sition. In Washington no political
designation is permitted on the ballot
in case of a judicial office. The pur-
pose is to make the judiciary nonpar-
tisan. If this point of view is correct,
and in our judgment il assuredly Is,
then Judge Chadwick will undoubtedly
be elevated to the supreme bencn,
where in the opinion Of those who are
best qualified to speak, he will make
reputation for ability and prObity IN
ferior to no man who has ever Occu-
pied the position.-Portland Telegram

Hooked BISHOPS ALBUM.

A scandal has arisen over someone
putting in "hock'' the magnificent and
costly Jewell bedecked album present
ed to Bishop Barlin on the occasion of
his conservation as bishop of Nueva
Caceres, according to mail advices
from the Philippines.
Mgr. Barlin was the first Filipino to
can ecclesiastical jurisdiction. On the
occasion of his conservation a large
number of people were asked to con-
tribute toward the cost of an album in
which should be inscribed the sigma
lures of all those who desired to con-
graduate him on his elevation.
The album was gotten up at great
cost and its covers were studded with
precious stones. 1t was presented to
Mgr. Barlin, but the book was taken
back to Manila under the pretense that
there were others who desired to sign
their names thereto. 1t is said that
the book was left in the care of a
prominent Filipino official.
Several Spanish and native papers
now are demanding that public &C
counting be made of the money coll
lected and the amount expended for
the album and of it's real whereabouts.
1t is charged that the silversmith who
prepared the covers of the book and
inlaid them with precious stones has
not yet been paid for his material and
work.

PAYS FARMER TO
PROTECT BIRDS
THEY OFTEN FORM A VERY Eff
FICIENT. POLICE FORCE FOR
THE AIR.

WASHINGTON, Aug. st pays the
farmer to protect birds, says Biologist
Henshaw, writing in the new year book
of the department of agriculture
"Only the thoughtless and ignorant"
he declares. still hold that the grace
full forms and beautiful plumage Of
these masterpieces Of nature serve
hat for a brief season, to be then cast
aside and forgotten, the plumage dim
med and faded, the beautiful songs
quenched forever
DR. Henshaw, however. doesn't
class every bird as friend of mans
indeed He admits that few birds are
wholly beneficial-but yet he says there
are very few among the harmful ones
that haven't at least one redeeming
trait. He sums up the situation cpl
grammically-'most birds most of the
time are beneficial: a few birds most
of the time are Injurious
According to DR.. Henshaw, birds
form a very efficient police force for
the air and ground. Thrushes, sparrows,
larks and wrens, he says, search the
surface of the earth for insects and
their larvae; the warblers, creepers

sects when flying among trees and
branches; while wallows and night
hawks skim over the pactures and pa
troll the air high above the tree tops for
such Of the enemy as have escaped
pursuit below. Thus each family plays
its part in the never-ending warfare,
and the number of insects annually
consumed by the combined hosts is
simply incalculable.
DR.. Henshaw tells of the balance of
nature that is necessary to preserve
conditions; a maximum of birds to
keep the insects to the minimum.
Whenever that maximum of birds is
destroyed. then the insects multiply,
and one of the so-called plaques" re-
suits. And about the only remedy
there is for these is importation of
more birds to kill off the bugs. How
ever. he stops his glowing tribute to
the feathered tribe long enough to give
the English sparrow a dig. This
bird" he says. has bad habits far
outweighing any possible good that it
does even if the most liberal estimate
be made of the comparatively small
number of insects that it destroys or
the weed seed it eats"

BRYAN'S REPLY.

NV attention has been called to
pamphlet. issued by the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers, and signed
by James w. Van Cleave, writes W. j..
Bryan, in the Commoner. 1t concluded
with the following statement in black
type:
1T is the duty of American business
men, regardless of their party, TO bury
Bryan and Organism under such an
avalanche of votes in 1908 that the
work will not have to be done over
again in 1912, or ever"
Mr.. Van Cleave's pamphlet contains
four pages of printed matter; begin
ming with an explanation as to why
the National Manufacturers associa-
ton did not go to Denver it is devoted
almost entirely to a condemnation Of
the labor plank adopted at Denver.
Mr.. Van Cleave insists that he is not
talking party politics. that he is not
making an appeal Ito either republic
cans or democrats as SUCH" but that
he is talking as business man TO
business men on subject which has
a vital concern for all of u.s."
MIR. Van Cleave's pamphlet raises
two questions; First, is there any
thing in the labor plank of the demo-
cratic platform to which business men
can Justly take exception and, second
is the labor question so important to
business men as to justify them in
ignoring all other issues?
Before answering the first question,
it may be we'll to ask: who are bust
ness men?" Mr.. Van Cleave is the
president of a society known as the
National Association of Manufacture
ers Manufacturers are not the only
business men in the country, and yet
Mr. Van Cleave's appeal is to ''busi-
ness men," Every man who is engaged
in a work which is useful to society
is business man; every man who
contributes by brain or muscle to the
nations wealth and the nations pro-
gress is a business man. Can it be
said that all who are engaged in any
honorable and helpful work have a
vital concern" in the defeat of the
democratic party?
But suppose we narrow the defini-
ton of business men to those who are
engaged in production. distribution and
transportation. Can it be said that
the labor plank of the democratic
platform is a menace to all these
Shall we so define the term business
men" that it will include only the en-
ployer OF labor? Has the manufa--
turer an interest so distinct from those
whom he employs, and through whose

ABOUT FRESH CHICKENS.

What American housewife is able to
tell a cold storage chicken from a fresh
one How many American households
regularly eat fresh chicken that is
from the seclusion of two or three
years in the refrigerator of the storage
company?
1t has long been the boast of the
cold storage men that fowls are just
as desirable after two or three years
icing as on the day they were killed.
This claim is strenuously combatted in
a report made by the department of
agriculture. One object of the report
is to furnish a graphic guide TO
chicken purchasers, so that they may
be able to tell the fresh chicken from
the cold storage article.
When you see a chicken, the muscles
of which are so drawn as to cause 1t
to hang, for instance, with the head
doubled up; when the skin is notified
with a greenish tint; when there is
sharp, although not putrefying odor;
when the comb and gills are nearly
dried up: when the skin is SO brittle
n6 q 10
joints as to crack when rubbed-that
is the fowl to beware of as if it were
the plague 1t is the 3-year-old cold
storage fowl.
The fresh killed chicken, continues
the report, has a clean, pale, soft yell
low skin, translucent enough to show
salmon pink flesh beneath, and fiex-
ible-there are no signs of reddish or
greenish blotches; the comb and gills
are a brilliant red and the feather pa
pillae distinct because of their eleva-
ton above the skin. although of the
same color When drawn, it is ex-
ceedingly easy to tell the fresh chicken
| from the cold storage fowl; the flesh
| and muscles of the former are a sal
mon pink in color and the interior or
cams have an unmistakable bloom; the
2-year-old or 3-year-old chicken has
none of that tint on the muscles and
| skin The skin itself is leathery; there
| are red-rust spots and perhaps green
blotches the body is covered with
irregular hollows and distended Jumps
where watery slime or gas collects
| r ehfeather papillae have darkened
! Exposure to the air for a few hours
| produces a characteristic odor APP
| preaching that of putrid flesh.
The department of agriculture's ex-
pert thus sums up:
| '"The dictum of the warehousemer
that there is no change in cold-storage
poultry and that it may be kept for ar
| indefinite period cannot be accepted
in it's entirety. Both microscopic study
and taste of the cooked fowl confirm
the fact that degeneration does take
place.
| 1T seems most desirable that
| careful study should be made to de-
termine whether such alterations a.
have been noted affect the appearance
and astrological integrity of the fesf
only. or whether, as has been asserted
by some, the consumption Of poultry
after long periods of cold storage, Is
not responsible for some of the obscure
intestinal disorders and the Imperfect
metabolism from which modern hu'

large cities, are so apt to suffer-

MOB DRAWS COLOR LINE.
Side Lights on the Cause Of Lynch
inas.
Lafayette, Ind, Feb. %.

President Roosevelt's statement in
a letter to Gov. Durbin some four
years ago on this subject Of lynching
was that 1T is color and not crime
that gives rise to mob violence" This
fact has further been demonstrated
by developments since that time. 1t
is clear now that the whole thing
hinges upon the color Of the rapist as
to whether he is to be rescued by
his friends or lynched by a bowling
and enraged mob. Just as The News
has stated all along that 1t was the
color of the accused and not the
crime in many instances that makes
him an easy prey on which the ven
gence Of the mob can be wrecked.
The three cases in point prove the
absolute correctness Of this state
ment. |
1t was In Gadsden, Ala, which wit
messed many stormy scenes Of race

named Frank Miller committed \
