T. j. Holland, state game and fish
commissioner, wants the open season
on doves abolished. He says: when
man goes out dove hunting, with his
license in his pocket, and quail flies
up in front of him, he blazes away at
it and if he gets it he sticks it in his
bag. We can't go out to every hunter
we see in the field and ask him to
show us the birds he has shot. Dove
shooting is a bad thing for the quail
, and the pheasants."

West Must Assist.

Washington.-Unless the western
members of Congress show some dis
position toward acting favorably upon
some of the administration conserva.
tion bills they are likely to fail in their
efforts to get their bill through the
House authorizing the issuance of $780,
100000 in certificates of Indebtedness
to complete irrigation projects. No
threat or ultimatum of this ma
ture has been made by the ad-
ministration or by members of Com
gress favoring conservation bills
which were prepared by the secretary
of the interior and sent to Congress
for introduction but it has become
known that the western members can
not expect the President to exert him
self to help their certificate bill
through the House while opposing
strenuously every proposition recon-
mended by him for what he believes
proper legislation for conserving the
natural resources of the country.

FIREMEN 7
TO STRIKE
fORTY-SEVEN RAILROADS AND
25,OOO MEN INVOLVED IN
STRIKE ORDER.
A COMPLETE tie UP
At MIDNIGHT THE MEN VOTED TO
GO OUT-FORMAL NOTICE
WILL COME LATER.

Chicago, March 14.-The contro-
versy which has been under discus
sion for more than six weeks involves
forty-seven railroads operating west,
northwest and southwest of Chicago,
and embraces about 10000 miles Of
railroads.
1t has previously been stated by
both sides that If a strike were called
It would tie up practically every
freight and passenger train between
Chicago and the Pacific coast.
"The strike has been called-that
much is CERTAIN" said Mr.. Carter. at
means that not only $4,000 firemen,
members of our union, will go out, but
that perhaps many more employees
will be thrown out in consequence.
1--WE gave our ultimatum to the rail-
roads that the men had voted to strike
and that we are prepared to call one
unless we were granted arbitration OF
all questions in dispute. The railroads
refused to arbitrate anything but the
wage question.
"At midnight tonight we decided 1t
was useless to parlev further with the
railroad managers. We adopted reso-
luton calling a strike. Owing to the
lateness of the hour and in order that
the men would not go out in confusion
and not knowing the true state of af-
fairs, we agreed to wait until tomor-
row before telegraphing the ORDER
Chairman w. C. Nixon, on behalf OF
the railroad managers, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
1.-THE railroads have not received the
answer of the firemen's committee.
Consequently we hesitate to make
comment. But it does not seem rea-
sonable that strike will be ordered
in the face of offered arbitration. The
railroads offered to arbitrate the wage
question January 9th and this offer
still holds good.
"In case the firemen's reply is to the
effect that a strike will be called the
railroads will invoke the aid OF the
Erdman act through the chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the Commissioner Of Labor in
Washington to prevent the labor lead
ers from carrying out their threat"
The committee of general managers
who have been conducting the negoti-
atoms with the firemen, and all OF
whom are now in Chicago, consists OF

Any person Of good Judgment, who.

Any person Of good judgment, who
has received an ordinary common
school education, can readily and
easily pass the test to be given APP
plicants for census e~nurnerators
places on Saturday Feb. 5, the date
finally set BY the Z. S. Census Di-
rector Durand. This will be a com
forting assurance to the several hun
dred thousand who are believed to be
contemplating application for the
places.
It was emphatically stated at the
bureau that the test will be an emf
nently reasonable and practical one,
similar to that applied to applicants
at the twelfth census. It will con-
sist of filling but a sample schedule
of population from a description, in
narrative form, of typical families;
and in the case Of enumerators whose
work will be in the rural districts,
they will be called upon to fill out an
additional sample schedule Of agri-
culture, from information furnished
by the Census Bureau.
All persons, whether women or
man, who may desire to become CEN
sus e~numerators, must be citizens Of
the United States; residents Of the
supervisors district for which they
wish to be appointed; must be not
less than 18 nor more than 70 years
of age; must be physically able to do
the work; must be trustworthy, honest
and Of good habits must have at least
an ordinary education and must be
able to write plainly and with reason
duio Idplulty.
Those who can comply with these
requirements are invited to put in
their applications, as there will be at
lest $1,000 enumerators' places to
BE filled by the middle OF March in
preparation for the enumeration
beginninning April Is.
Application forms, with full instruc-
tons for flling-in, and complete IN
formation concerning the test and the
method Of appointment, car be Sc
cured by writing to the supervisor Of
census for the supervisors district il
which the applicant lives. All APP
pEications, properly filled IN must be
fled with the supervisors not later
than January IS. as any received
after that date cannot be considered.

Therefore, too much blame cannot be
laid on the chief magistrate. A man
brought up in Cineinatti could not
know what whiskey really is. His
environment would naturally lead him
to suppose that Whiskey was made in
the cellar Of a wholesale drug house,
instead Of from the products Of the
field.
1t is pleasing to observe that Texas
has noblY stood forth as the champion
of real Whiskey Whiskey. Despite
the prohibition sentiment which at
times threatened to engulf the Lone
Star state, Texas, after all both by
heredity and long experience is best
qualified to decide what good Whiskey
is. Whiskey according TO the Texas
food and drug act, must contain at
least A. per cent alcohol, must not
contain any artificial fayorings burnt
sugar, glycerine, bending oil or es-
sential oil, and must be at least four
years old. Since no rectiied Whiskey
can be made without the ingredients
prescribed by the Texas law, Taft
whiskey will not be obtainable there
as a common article of commerce,
and as a matter of fact a shipment
of the manufactured substitute for
Whiskey has already been seized by
the Texas health authorities.
Several days age, The American
contained d news item to the effect
that DR.. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry, had almost decided to
resign because so many of his deeis-
ions on pure foods had been overturn-
ed or nullifed By his ~superiors in
office. DIR. Wiley's idea Of Whiskey
is similar to the Texas idea. DR..
Wiley condemned the use of benzoate
Of soda; a bureau of chemical experts
appointed for the purpose Of holding
him in check oyerruled him. In
HH "
every instance where DR.. Wiley has
been ~oyerruled, it has been at the
instance Of some manufacturers who,
before the passage of the pure food
law felt no eompuention in endanger-
the public health. provided they
could make a few dollars out Of the
operation.
1t will pay the consumers Of the
country to bestow a little attention
to the wal waged upon Dir. Wiley.
The American does net say that be
has always been right, but he has al
ways been honest in his efforts to
protect the public health; and OPP
posed to him are all the forces Of
greed who would poison people with
d~eleterious substances without hest
tation or remorse, il the poisoning
would bring to themselves a more
rapid accumulation Of the almighty
dollar.
