around. Of course no one saw this
any more than any other matter that
is not our business.
But what the writer desires to say
is that now and at present we have
plenty of game laws, no desire to en-
force them, daily violation, and no
results of compulsory obedience, and
we will never hav it, no matter how
many laws we pass until spirit Of
obedience to the mandates of the
statutes is inculcated.
c. H. BEAZLEY.
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1909-02-19

Now, we have adequate and sufl-
cient laws, but no one pays any at
tention to them. We have laws linn
iting the killing of doves, but it is
laughing stock. We have laws pro-
tecting game out of season, but when
ever anyone desires he goes and kills
the game.
In fact there is to the writer's
knowledge one black negro in this
locality who makes large part of
his living killing wild turkeys and
cartridges out of season and selling
them.
A man may post his lands, and I'M
less he watches them his warning
is violated. People who are other.
wise gentlemen and honorable think
it a great joke to rob land owner
of his right to protect the birds he
may have on his place, or the right
to say the peace and quiet of his
premises shall not be disturbed by
hundreds of guns barking his pine
thickets and endangering the lives
of any stock he may have grazing
close by.
The fact is, neglect to enforce, con-
tempt of law that does not suit the
American spirit, if you may so call
it. that does not submit to authority
readily, coupled with the fact that
the most persistent Of the violators
of the law are generally those high
in authority or in social position,
make the game laws practically a
dead letter.
Perhaps the requisite two years
ago we say for the sake of not get
ting the dates too near, since the wri-
ter. like the officers, perhaps, would
not like to come into court as a wit
ness where the breakers of the law
occupy such high social positions, a
big dove shoot was given within
hundred yards of the residence OF a
friend of the writer, by a high town
official. The place was suburban
Just inside the Incorporation. The
few shots that went wild and hit the
house did not, of course, endange'
the occupants of the dwelling, provid
ed they stayed inside and on the 9th
err side of the house.
The laws against shooting firearms
in town were conveniently forgotten
for the time.
/ The laws against over forty doves
went astray, and, if reports be true
the highest or among the highest
score was the bag of a preacher, with
1876 birds.
Among the crowd were a judge OF
SO. a few court officials, bailiffs, OF
other arresting officials, and the bait
ed fields drew the doves from far

Mrs. Morton Given
Credit for Arbor
Day by Friends
Acquaintance at Nebraska City Say
She Observed Husbands Birthday
by Planting Trees,

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., April g
Especial )-Arbor day was generally OBJ
served today in this city, the home OF
the father OF Arbor day, the late j. ster-
ling Morton. The banks and all public Of
fees were closed and the places OF bust
ness were closed after dinner. In the
schools, which had but a half days ses-
sion, special Arbor day programs we're car
ried out, and all over the city trees galore
were planted.
1t has always been generally believed
that ]. Sterling Morton was the
author Of Arbor day, but those
who are conversant with the facts say
that such is not the case, but that his
wife originated the idea and carried il
out while she lived. 1t was his birth ami
versary, and his wife always observed the
day by having trees planted and advocated
the planting of trees. 1t was she who fol-
lowed up the idea and called to her aid
many friends. who likewise advocated the
idea. She was a highly educated woman,
and as such had many friends all over this
as well as other states. and Arbor day
was first conceived and celebrated by her.
over her grave is a monument OF stone to
represent a windstorm, broken tree, which
typifies many phases Of her interesting
life, it being erected by her sons. during
the life Of their father. 1t is one Of the
handsomest pieces Of art in stone TO be
seen in any part Of the country.

Desirabllity of

Group Two of State Association, in
Session at Fremont Takes Up
Act of Legislators.

FBMoNT, Neb., April 2~2--(special THE
bank guaranty law was the chief topic of
discussion at the meeting of group two of
the Nebraska Banker association here to-
day.
From talks with a number Of the bankers
attending, it is evident there is some diff
ference of opinion in regard to the con-
struction of the new guaranty aw as well
Us doubt as to its d~esirability.
The principal paper was by Ralph c.
Wilson of the Bankers National of Chi
cage on the problem OF the county check. -
Governor Shsllenberger = spoke at the
bankers banquet this evening. The meet
ing was called to order by President r. NJ.
Weitzel of Albion. On. Thomas Bithel OF
the Methodist Episcopal church offered a
brief invocation and Mayor Burrell well
coined the bankers to the city, The presi-
dent responded in their behalf. The only
paper of the morning was by r, B. KNAPP

the question box by f.. f. Folda OF the

P olice Involved
in Rogers Case
Woman Kidnaper Charged with Con-
spiracy and Two of Grand Island
Force Dismissed.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb, April 22-(Spc-
cial.)-Mrs. Scarf, alias Nellie Rogers, the
woman who was recently involved IN the
charge of KIDNAPPING her S-year-old boy
from the guardian into whose custody a
court decision had placed the lad, is in
volved in further sensational -escapades
here-escapedes which have lost their Jobs
to two police officials. 1t is alleged that
the woman was in a conspiracy with Of
ficer Dawson to put officer Mehlert in a
compromising position and when the two
were on the delivery platform of the Val
Blatz Brewing company's storehouse here,
Monday night, officer Dawson stepped In
and arrested Mehlert, or notified him of
his arrest upon the order of Chief Hoag-
land.
Officer Mehlert charges officer Dawson
with conspiracy and Officer Dawson
charges Chief Hoagland with conspiracy
and the woman alleges that both were in
the plot. Mehlert is said to be the officer
who discovered the presence of the boy
here and apparently has the i'll will of the
Scarf woman. The mayor and the COM
mittee on police and Board of Health has
had a hearing in executive session, the
result of which has been the dismissal
from the force OF both Mehlert and Daw-
son. Members of the committee allege that
Dawson's record has not been satisfactory
on other counts. 1t is not the first instance
Of turmoil and alleged intrigue in the de-
partment. Chris Michels and Charles Stage
nave been appointed on the force to fill
the vacancies. so far as known there is
no creditable evidence Of any actual Grim
inality on the part of either officer.
