'possuM HUNTERS ARE HAPPY.
Attorney General Permits killing
Juicy Game Without License.

Attorney General Major struck a
telling blow for Missouri 'possum
hunters when he rendered an opin-
ion to the effect that 'possums and
raccoons may be hunted at any time
without a hunters license. Missouri
boys for generations have hunted
'possums with ak and dog, and have
never felt the restrictions Of the law.
Older Missourians, too. are fond of
this sport, and they have been writ
ing numerous letters to Attorney Gen
eral Major for an opinion on his
prase of the game law.
Jesse A. Tollerton. state game com.
missioner, holds that, broadly con-
STRUNG the word ''hunt" in the act,
the law would prohibit all kinds OF
hunting without a license. This has
aroused the 'possum hunters over
the state, and he is making no ef-
fort to compell 'possum hunters to
take out a license.
The letter of Attorney General Ma,
jor to d. W. Wade, a justice of the
peace and deputy game warden at
Names, Mo-, follows. in part:
"In answer to your question as
to whether it is a violation of the
law to catch rabbits. opossums and
raccoons without a license to hunt,
will say there is no closed season
against such game, The law does
not protect them nor was 1t leyeled
at their taking.
ITO capture such game in such
way and manner is not within the
meaning of the word hunt as used
in the act now as intended by the
legislature.
81 am of the opinion that it is
neither against the spirit MOI the let
ter of the law to catch rabbits, opos.
sums or raceoons without a license
nor is 1t against the law to chase
foxes or wolves"

RAILWAY EXTENSION.
Preliminary Steps Toward Pough-
 <eepsie Bridge Connection.

It is understood that preliminary steps have been taken for the exten- sion of the New York and Westchester line of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company north ward through Westchester county New York, to connect with the Pough- keepsie bridge system of the New Ha- ven company.
 The company has of late been im- proving rapidly the Poughkeepsie bridge system, including the double tracking of the line from Pough- keepsie bridge to New Haven. With the completion of the New York and Westechester line and it's extensions, the New Haven will give both the Poughkeepsie bridge system and the Ontario & Western a new entrance into New York in addition to the ter minal opposite New York, which the Ontario & Western now has by trackage rights over the West Shore road.
 In the fulflment of the New Haven's plans it will have system of several hundred miles of road, part of it of almost western trunk line character and entering New York city

Saving Fish After Floods.

When brooks, streams and ponds become dry most fishes die" said Francis B. Brennan of Philadelphia. Some kinds, however like eels and catfish. are able to survive for con- siderable time by burrowing into the wet or moist bottom. which may be quite dry at the surface. This is par ticularly true of some tropical fishes found in regions subject to drought, where 1t is a matter Of common ob- servation that a pond depression that has been baked by the suns rays for days or weeks will immediately after heavy rainfall afford good fishing. The ability of certain tropical fishes to endure drought and to remain out or the water for a long time in the markets depends on the possession of an accessory gill on the under side of each gill cover, by means of which oxygen may be taken directly from the atmosphere. Failure to notice dead fish after the drying out of brooks or ponds simply means that birds and four footed beasts. often night prowl- CTS, have been there first. One of the most important lines Of work carried on by the fisheries branch of the gov ernment is the rescue of food and game fishes from the overflowed lands in the Mississippi Valley. After the floods subside shallow pools are left that are wholly disconnected from the streams. and in these the fishes grad ually perish as the drying of the pools progresses. By sending men to seine these pools the government each year saves and returns to public waters hundreds of thousands Of valuable fishes. es."-Washingto Herald.

Equality. Not Separation.

Separation from the Empire is the policy which The Mail and Empire discovers in the speeches of Mir. Ecre- ment and Sir wilfrid Laurier at Ot- tawa, and of MT. Graham, the minis ter of railways, at Montreal. When we read the speeches we find that what is advocated is not separation, but self-government. MT. Ecrement says that Canada is no longer a colo ny of any nation. That Canada is not e colony in the commonly accepted sense was recognized by the British government when 1t used the term Dominion overseas" Sir John Mac donald looked forward to the time when Canada would become an ally rather than a dependency of Great Britain.
 Whatever public men may say, it is useless to ignore the facts. Every day since responsible government was granted Canada has been growing out of a position of dependency into one of equality. From first to last the campaign for Canadian navy, or for Canadian contributions to the British navy, has been based on the conten- tion that Canada has grown SO strong and so wealthy that it is a shame for her to depend on the people of the British islands for defense.-Toronto Star.

RUNAWAY MARRIAGES.
This State No Longer a Gretna Green
 for Couples.

Rhode Island has tired of being the good friend of clipping couples from other states who want to be married with as little delay as possible, there fore a law was passed by the last legislature to end the lure of the little state for the engaged. After Decem- Der l a marriage license issued in Rhode Island does not become legally effective for five days. Nearly a thou sand couples from other places were married in the state during the past fiscal year. The youth of Massachu- setts will chiefly suffer or benefit from this act, whichever point of view is taken.-Brooklyn Standard Union.
 Not Far to Run.
 Rhode Island proposes to make run away marriages impossible within it's confines. All right as far as it goes, but runaway couples won't have far and the law
 and the law.-Norfolk Virginian- Pilot
 Rhode Island and Newnort.
 Rhode Island in general and Provi- dence in particular repudiates and re- nounces by law the well earned title, "Gretna Green.' Rhode Island in gen. eral and Newport in particular might win still further public applause by putting some sort of ban on the fash ionable divorce and monkey dinner colony.-Manchester Union.
 The Power Within Us. J Speedy marriages are to be barred in Rhode Island. Maybe it will be necessary to get Aldrich's consent ereafter.-Louisville Post.
 Other Gretns Greens.
 Quick marriages have been tabooed in Rhode Island, but 1t is never any trouble to step into another state from any part of Rhode Island.-Waterbury Republican.
 One of Our Occupations.
 At first blush, it seems as if, when she ceases to be a Gretna Green, there will really be no raison detre for Little Rhody" However, it is need ful that Aldrich continue, as emperor of the United States senate; and prob ably no other state except Rhode Is- land (not even Nevada) would stand for Aldrich.-Albany Argus.
 Five Days Delay
 Rhode Islands new laws regarding marriage went into effect Wednesday and hereafter the state will cease to be so popular a Gretna Green. Under the new law marriage licenses do not become effective until five days after they are issued.-Bangor Commercial.

conoress and inc suoar Trust.


 In answer to the question, "Wiil congress investigate the sugar trust % Representative Payne is quoted in a Tribune despatch this morning as say ing:
 T don't think it will. The matter is being pretty thoroughly investigated now. An investigation by congress will depend on whether the federal dis trict attorney cannot do 1t more effec- lively than congress"
 But this is not at all the question. If a congressional investigation at this time would involve any risk of inter- fering with the effectiveness of the criminal prosecutions, it should by all means be put off to a later day; but the prosecutions, while the most ur- gent thing now in hand, cannot possi- bly cover all the ground of this por- tentious scandal, and cannot in some respects probe as deep. We all hope that MT. Stimson may succeed in get ting one or more of the real criminals the big men in the trust-behind the bars, but it is only too certain that a great part of the rascality will prove to be beyond the reach of legal pun ishment. The country has a right to know the full truth of the case and fix the guilt of those responsible for this great body of corruption both in busi- ness and in politics. Congress only can bring out the truth. Senator Gull person and Senator Borah, as stated in the Worlds Washington despatches this morning. have declared most em- phatically for a congressional inves- tigation. and there is every reason to expect that it will be urged upon the senate. The only proper qualification of the demand is that expressed by Senator Borah, that it should be made subject to the necessities of effective prosecution of the criminal cases.- New York Evening Post.

An lrrepressibIe Conflict.

The purpose of Mir. Mann of Illinois to introduce at the coming session of congress bills so amending the Payne act as to avert a tarff war with Canada gives further evidence-if such were needed-of the folly of any at tempt to suppress continued discussion of that act. Neither the president nor the speaker of the house. though they Insist that it is the best of all possible sevisions. can convert widespread pub lie dissatisfaction into pleased accept ance. Mir. Mann's bills are aimed at the outrageous paper and wood pulp schedules. That he will succeed in get ting them passed is perhaps doubtful: but their introduction will at least serve to give the insurgents another opportunity to carry on the fight. If the democrats in the house are wise they will promptly join hands with MT. Mann, and help to set their party right on the one question with which it can hope to win next fall. Probably, however, the speakers little bargain with certain democratic members cov- cred this point.-Providence Journal.

White Slaves and Congress.

The traffic in ignorant, unfortunate and betrayed girls, or white slaves. is of such proportions and power, largely because of the backing of corrupt spells politicians. that international national and state measures combined will not easily destroy it. Interna- tional measures depend for their eff fectiveness chiefly on the laws of emi- grafton and immigration, while sta te measures are too often nullified by local police conspiracies. Our federal legislation promised very substantial results, but the supreme court has killed a vital part of it. Little can be accomplished if the federal govern ment is limited to duty at the gates of the nation, for there are a hundred ways of circumventing the laws gov erning the admission and exclusion of aliens.
 The situation is such that legislative and administrative aid should be well comed from every honest source. Rep- resentative Mann's suggestions for the suppression or diminution of the white slave traffic through the instrumental ity of the interstate commerce clause in the constitution are worthy of se- rious and favorable consideration. Good lawyers in and out of congress will ponder the validity of his pro- posals; to lay enemies of immortality, greed and brutal tyranny over help less women the important question is the probable effectiveness of the pro- posed measure if it be held sound
 And this question will generally be answered in the affirmative. Mir. Mann would make it a crime knowingly to transport or aid in transporting white slaves in interstate and foreign com merce. He would provide for the fil- ing of reports by keepers of aliens in disorderly houses. giving the number of such inmates, their age. nationality etc. He would provide severe penalties for any violation of these require- ments.
 The able discussions of the scope of the commerce clause which we have had in the last decade. in connection with lotteries. trusts, insurance, child labor, have thrown much light on the things that congress can or cannot do under the power to regulate interstate commerce. This light should enable the proper committees of congress and the department of justice to pronounce speedily upon the legal phases of the Mann gestions.-Chicago Record Herald.

Church Workers Get No Encourage

A gentleman spent several weeks in "our town" where he was an en- tire stranger. says a writer in The DeIineator. During this time he at tended "our church" every Sunday.
 A day or so before leaving, he had occasion to enter a shoe store, and re- cogniyed in the man who came for ward to wait upon him the usher who had seated him the previous Sundays.
 After making his purchase, he spoke of the pleasant little church, said he was about to leave the town, and thanked the usher for his kind services to him every Sunday he had been there. The latter was greatly pleased and touched by the strangers appreciation, and said that he had ushered in 'our church. for eighteen years, but could not remember that anyone had ever before spoken a word of thanks to him.
 It is partly this thoughless neglect of expressing our gratitude which makes church work so discouraging.
 These suggestions, if all carried out, will not fill "the church in our town" or other churches in other towns im- mediately, but they might strengthen a few weak portions of our armor and send us forth better equipped for the conquest of the world for Christ.
