these creatures that it attracted the
attention and secured the protection
of the farmers, many even sparing the
coyote, whose services as a mouse de-
stroyer deserve to be more widely
recognized. In Nevada coyotes were
frequently seen catching mice in the
daytime, and their ~droppings were
composed entirely of mouse fur and
bones.
1t is deplorable that, even when
their usefulness is as apparent as
here, some persons continue to de-
stroy valuable birds and mammals.
During the Investigations in Humboldt
valley no less than 20 large hawks
we're found hanging on wire fences,
their useful lives ended by thought
less gunners.
The striking evidence OF the valu-
able services of the natural enemies
of mice seen during this plague Is but
an example of their constant value.
Hawks, owls, gulls, crows, ravens, her
ons and shrikes among birds, and
skunks, coyotes, foxes, weasels, bad
gers. and wildcats among mammals,
habitually prey upon field mice, and
are most valuable in preventing undue
increase of these pests.

hawks to be most beneficial allies OF

CARSON, Feb. 15.-Again today
the committee on public morals fail
ed to make report to the assembly
ON McIntosh's anti-gambling bill.
Members of the committee are nom
communicative regarding the matter,
giving out no information whatever
regarding their deliberations. 1t is
currently reported today, however,
that there is no little discord in the
committee and that it is not at all
improbable that the bill will be re-
turned without recommendation,
throwing every detail of the fight on
the floor But this and other rumors
pertaining to the same subject, with
the single exception that a gambling
trust, hoping to control the business
of the state, under the provisions of
this misnamed "anti-gambling" bill,
is in process of formation are not
authentic and predictions as to the
course the bill will take are merest
guess work.
The bill for the division of Nye
county reached the senate today and
was referred to the committee on
counties and county boundaries. 1t
is evidently the intention of the SEN
ate leaders to dispose of the measure
at the earliest date possible, so that
lit can play no important part as a
trading asset when the administra-
tion bills, those promised in the Dem

THEY ARE RESTLESS.

1t is severe strain on some Of our
Republican contemporaries to keep
their political togas on straight, in
view of the prospective tariff legisla-
tion. Only a, few days ago The New
York Tribune declared in pretty plain
English that the Republican party is
not living and acting in accord with
the promises and pledges of the party
platform on which Mr.. Taft was
elected.
And here is The Hartford Courant
which tries to be a good Republican
newspaper. arguing along the same
line. It declares that IL Senator Aid
rich and his compeers are correct In
their conception OF what the Republic
can platform of last year meant then
not only the voters of the country but
Mr.. Taft himself were wrong ana didn't
understand what the party was stand
ing. for. Then 1t adds this warning
rote:
1t won't be healthy for the Repub-
Iican party at the congressional cleo
ton of l91o-to look no farther ahead
If the plain voters get into their
heads that thew were deliberately de-
celyed and trided with by its author
tied Spokesman in 1908. 1t will not
be healthy for II II the new tariff does
not lower prices and tighten burdens
for the common people And this IS
very good time for Republican
newspapers TO be SAYING so.
That is both a warning and a prac
teal threat OF what wiz hpppen to
the Republicans IL they do not mend
their ways and live up to what was
understood to be their pledges. These
quotations from The Tribune and The
Courant are fair specimens of what
we are continually hearing from Re-
publican sources because of dissatis-
faction over the course the party is
pursuing regarding tariff lesisla ton .
And the words OF The Courant con-
tain just the kind of argument that
is likely. II anything can be. to cause
the Republicans TO be more cautious
in the work OF tarif-making. The
possibility that their failure to enact
lust and fair tariff bill may cause

Now all Is changed. Taft works in
