There are laws In Maryland for the
protection OF insectivorous birds and
song birds. and they ought to be en-.
forced. says the Baltimore Sun. We
can conceive Of NO man with any pre-
tensions to the qualities Of true
sportsman who would md pleasure in
the slaughter Of mocking birds. orioles
or other feathered songsters. The man
who shoots such birds ought to b.
made to pay the full penalty pre-
scribed by the laws Of Maryland. The
man who kills or captures song birds
70 supply the demand for plumags
ought to be punished according to his
deserts. Vigilance In the detection of
offenders against the law and prosecu-
ton to the limit In the courts will add
greatly to the protection Of birds In
Maryland.

pose Of perfecting its organization and
commencing work in accomplishing
the objects Of the league. The first
efforts OF the league will be to 90
cure the protection of settlers and
others who have been taking up land

attempts Of public officials to en-
croach upon the rights Of citizens. The
new organization will seek remedial
legislation from Congress looking 70
less interference with the settlement
and development of the public lands
Of the West and will uphold the SOW.

In very few states would 1t now b
possible to re-enact the ancient Sun
day laws. says the New York World.
In most Of the states = revisioO Of
these laws would surely result In their
modification. A sure way to bring
about an overhauling Of these drastic
codes would appear to be a harsh en-.
forcement of them against a society
Tor which they never were intended.
Strange as 1t may appear. religious
freedom Is one of the most loosely
held Of an our rights and privileges.
There is nothing in the constitution Of
the United States on the subject ex-
cept the provision that Congress
shall make NO law respecting an %.
Enlistment Of religion or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof" There 10
no restriction upon the states in this
respect. Not many Of the state con-
situations have any comprehensive
clause relating to religious liberty.
For this reason Sunday laws palpably
religious In their nature have been
passed and judicially sustained In
most Of the states, New York among
the number. on the avowed theory
that we are a religious people and
that justification for such acts may be
found In the higher law.
