ing criticism of the commission
to protect birds, fish and game
''The act creating the commission
is now universally ridiculed and
denounced, and justly so, as ar
example OF legislative graft, pure
and simple" said Mr.. Lewis.
Mr.. Lewis said that undOubt
edly the Governor should have
interposed his veto power to pre-
vent the creation of the horde o.
new offices, but that the chief re
sponsibility rested with the Leg
islature that passed the Obnox
ious laws. He said that of the 34(
new Offices created since TIM
adoption of the Constitution O.
1898, only fifty-six were filed by
election, the balance being filled
by executive appointment or by
boards appointed by the Gov
ernor.
He spoke at some length on TIM
primary election law and sale
that while that system was firm
ly embedded in our law and il
the minds of the people, that i
was evident that party cOnven
tiOns should be held before an!
. primary election to select candi
dates which should adopt a plat
form upon which candidate!
should be required to declare
themselves.
The speech, while much crit
cized, met with the general ap
proval of the farmers.

WOMAN'S WASTE.

1T is marvellous how much
women waste on lace and en-
broidery," said a would-be- smart
salesman to a lady, as he was
measuring off yard after yard OF
the flmy stuff. statistics
show that it is not so much as
men waste on whisky and tobac-
co." was her dry response, and
moreover women have something
to show for what they buy. A
piece of lace or delicate en-
broidery is often handed down
from one generation to another,
"a thing of beauty and a joy for
ever And what have men to
show for their indulgence? A
bad breath, a red nose, and a
wrecked digestion.
This colloquy once overheard
by the writer often occurs to the
mind when the frequent tale OF
WOman's extravaganza and waste
is told. 1t usually measures up
with the above comparison.
Particularly is one reminded
that attacks on woman in this
respect are unjust when hearing
the Heavenly Twins of the Game
Commission criticise feminine
fashions. On the one hand, it is
told that the female fancy for fur
turbans last winter led to the
slaughter of numerous pelt-bear'
ing animals, while to woman
savage taste for plumes and
wing and feathers, the birds fall
a victim. The unceaSing de-
mand for such accessories OF
millinery leads to a steady trade
fed by gun and trap in woodland,
field and wild Sea-marSh. Mr.,
Miller, who is a sincere lover OF
birds, tells feelingly Of the moth
er-bird killed for her beautiful
aigrette while the birdlings in
the nest are left to die un,
tended.
Even so, these are crimes
against the birds and beasts
when carried on so ruthlessly as
to mean suffering or extermlna
ton. 1t is the duty and province
of the law to regulate hunting
and to protect animal life. But
to hold woman accountable fol-
any evils resulting is to reason
from a wrong premise, making
her responsible for the failures o.
the law. There is nothing repre-
hensible in a WOman'S taste fol
fur and feathers any more thar
her prediction for pearls ant
diamonds. All these taste:
create a demand which gives EN-
plOyment to countless persons
and keeps down the increase il
animal life to proper proper
tions, that is, if the law per
forms it's obvious duty.
Women should not be blameC
for the laws failures, or thei
demand for fur and feathers b
regarded as anything more thai
the beneficent provision of ma
= ture by which every thing ha
some use or beauty, the prOpe
control and employment of whic
) produces harmony of dispense
ton.
