Five years ago Dr.. McCutcheon
brought so birds of each variety from
Liverpool and established a private
aviary at his home. The first winter
he lost half his flock, but when spring
came he released the remainder, and
soon reports came to him of observa-
tons being made to prove that his i'm
ported birds were nesting. Every year
since he has imported more birds, and
this spring released 500 birds of seven
varieties.
There is lack of singing birds in
the Puget Sound country" said DR..

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

It Is serious question sometimes to

foods cause trouble.

Pests Worried by Pests.

Since the Dutch philosopher Leu.

the flea was sometimes preyed on by
the larvae of a mite, it has been we'll
known that various small insects have
their external parasites. And a re-

to four different genera. They prob.

A Tall Corn Story.

Most of the Kansas streets are
paved grains of corn being used for
cobblestones, while the cobs are hol-

when taken off whole and stood on
end makes a nice tent for the children

New York, N. Y.-Edward H. Har'
riman died at his home in Arden, N
Y.
Mr.. Harriman's death had been ex'
pected for several days. On last Sun
day he suffered serious relapse due
to an tack of acute indigestion and
he was unable to rally from the critic
al condition which then threatened his
life. With him at the time of death
were all the members of his imme'
date family and DR.. Lyle.
Mr.. Hartman died at his home on
Tower Island, near Arden, Orange
county, N. Y.
Nature Of illness Unknown.
Mr.. Hartman has been ill for sew
erai months. The exact nature of his
illness has been carefully withheld
from the public, but it is the consen
sus of opinion that he suffered from
cancer or chronic indigestion.
Several months ago he went abroad
to consult prominent European spe.
cialists, and then took the cure at
Badgastien. This did him little, il
any good, and he rushed home, arriv'
ing here on Aug. 21, much before the
time he had set for his return.
He walked from the steamer to a
waiting tug, and later to special
train, which took him to his mountain
home.

effort to cause people to believe he
was not a dying man, thus making an
effort for the purpose of bolstering up
stocks.
From the day he was taken to Ar
den it was thought he was dying
man. There have been frequent con-
ferences of noted surgeons and physi'
clans at the Hartman home. Their
comings and goings have been hidden
in deep secrecy. Finally a bulletin
was issued in which it was admitted
that Mr.. Hartman was a very sick
man, and said that the physicians,
while declaring an operation would
be necessary, had nevertheless deter.
mined to postpone it until Hartman
was stronger. Saturday he took a
short automobile ride.
Auto Ride Last Airing.
When he returned to the house he
was in a state of coma and had to be
carried to his bed, from which he
never arose.
Sunday and Monday there were
scenes of great activity about the Har'
riman home and it was evident that
the great financier was dying. All the
while the Hartman physicians were
optimistic. AS late as 8 o'clock in the
morning, DR.. Lyle, Mr.. Harriman's
private physician, issued a bulletin in
which he said Mr.. Harriman's condi
ton was unchanged.
At that time it was almost positive

newspapermen that Hartman was be-
ing kept alive by frequent inhalations

The new senator from Indiana is q
democrat of the old school. He re-
ceived his political education under
voorhees, and Mcdonald and demo-
cratic leaders of that type and, although
he supported Mr.. Bryan in 1895 and
1900, he has never been over-enthusl-
astic as a follower. He served four
terms in congress, was the democratic
nominee for governor In 1895 and re-
ceived the democratic votes in the leg
islature for United States senator in
1903 and 1905. His attitude toward
the future of his party councils re-
mains to be determined, but it is rea-
sonably certain that he will be found,
so far as Indiana is concerned, aligned
with Governor Marshall and a faction
of democrats who have little sympa-
thy with the Bryan-Taggert-Kern
brand for some years in control of the

DRAINAGE OF SWAMP LANDS.

An effort is being made to take ad-
vantage of the sentiment developed
throughout the country in favor OF
conservation of national resources and
the improvements OF inland water
ways to induce congress to make large
appropriations for the drainage OF
swamp lands in different sections of
the country. Bills providing appro-
priations for such purposes have been
introduced, covering sections or
Arkansas. Missouri, Illinois and sew
eral southern states, and much pres
sure is being brought to secure a ia
vorable report on these measures by
the committee on rivers and harbors.
The advocates Of these plans are
furnishing some very attractive fig
ures to show the material wealth to be
added to the nation by the drainage of
the swamp lands. One statistician as
serts that 100, 900 900 acres of swamp
lands in the United States can be
drained at an average cost of $40 an
acre; that if drained they will become
so productive as to yield a net income
Of SIS per acre, or so per cent on the
cost. BY this table, the government
by investing 1000, 900, 1000 in drain
age work can be assured of an income
of $500, 900 900 a year, thus making
a tremendous addition to the national
wealth.
Alluring as these figures may be,
there is n fatal objection to the
proposition. The swamp lands are
generally local and, almost without ex-
ception, located in the confines of one
state, The draining of a big swamp
would, as a rule, confer benefits only
on the locality. A state that can add
500, 600 to it's tax totals by drain
ing 5000 acres of swamp lands should
do the work of its own initiative, with
out calling upon the federal govern
ment for aid. The swamp land prop
osition should be dealt with by local
agencies rather than by the federal
government. River improvement is a
national proposition and a work that
can not be well or intelligently per-
formed by independent action of the
states bordering upon a river, but this
condition does not apply to swamp
land redemption.
The agitation in favor of govern
ment aid in swamp land drainage is
only an illustration of the tendency to
ask the government to do something
for the states that they should do for
themselves.

THE CASE OF TILLMAN.

Chicago News: Senator Tillman is risht
in saying that there are worse persons than
he. Still, a senator ought to set the rest
OF us a good example, not an example Of
the other kind.
Chicago Record-Herald A good many
people are bothered by the painful con-
viction that there are other senators who
would. II the president got after them. be
even more feeble in defending themselves
than Tillman was in clearing his record.
Kansas City Times. Senator 11llman is
still denouncing President Roosevelt be-
cause, several years ago. he had Mrs.
Minor Morris elected from the White
House. The president has letters from Mrs.
Morris two grown sons saying the presi-
dent did risht and expressing the hope
that she will not bother him any more.
And there you are" Take your choice.
Springfield Republican: The American
people, it is probable, will not Judge Mr..
Tillman in this matter nearly so harshiS
as his enemy, Mr.. Roosevelt, desires, yet
they will doubtless feel that he has been
guilty OF an indiscretion that was incon-
sistent with the highest standard of legis-
lstive conduct. But, having judged Mr..
%1illman, they will yet turn toward the
White House n ask II Mr.. Hartman is
entitled to those lands.
Washington Herald: Unhappily for the
senator's defense, he has set UP a standard
of official and public morality to which
assent cannot be given. He fails ito see
any sense or reason in the position that
it is unlawful, immoral or improper for
a senator to buy any land or to act m this
chamber on any question affecting his per-
sonal interests" But IL is a fundamental
proposition Of public morals that no gov
eminent officer should act in matters af-
fecting his personal interest, Senator Till
mans inability to see any sense in a princi-
pie of action so well established is a dam
gerous admission-one that comes near de-
molishing the whole fabric of his attempted
Vindication.

PLAIN AND U~NTECHNICAL.

The plain and u~ntechnical" state
ment of the law and the facts put out
to justify the democratic attack on the
supreme court certainly makes every
thing as clear as mud.
The "u~ntechnical' position of the
democrats hangs on the technical point
that the authority of the state board
to canvass the vote on constitutional
amendments is derived from a law
passed by the demo-pop legislature of
1897, amending another law enacted
in 1895, repeating a law of 1871 on
which enactment of 1895 the repeating
clause was added while the bill was in
transit through the legislature. The
demo-pops of 1909 are, therefore, try
ing to convict the demo-pops of 1897
of going to the trouble of amending
and repeating an unconstitutional law
in a state of Ignorance from which
they have only now been awakened.
This very plain and untechnical"
statement of the law and the facts
must be all convincing. 1t proves
conclusively that the democratic at
tack on the supreme court is an after
thought of disappointed Office seekers.
1t proves co~nclusively that the whole
tempest in a teapot has been stirred
up on the slenderest thread OF a tech
nicality-and just the kind of a tech
n~icality hat has lone so much to dis
credit the legal profession in popular
estimation and to make ordinary peo-
pie believe that the practice OF law is
nothing but an exercise at. hair
splitting. d.
