Why the Sparrow Lives.

John Burroughs, the bird lover, has
advised the determination of the Eng
lish sparrow. Mr.. Burroughs advice is
sound, but the difficulty is In finding
a way to carry II out. Frank Bond.
who is now chief clerk of the depart
ment Of the interior in Washington.
succeeded some years < in killing
all the English sparrows in Cheyenne,
Wyo, and he did It with little cost
and little trouble. Mr.. Bonds plan
of procedure was so simple that IT can
be put into use anywhere. but the
chances arc that no one will be allow
ed to adopt it and that the avian rat
will continue to flourish in the land Of
its adoption.
Not long ago a crusade against the
sparrow was preached in Boston. The
proof was at hand that the %feathered
immigrant was a nuisance. and that
he drove away the native birds by
sheer force Of numbers, while doing
none of the useful things which the
natives would have done if they had
been allowed a roostlng place in the
elms of the common and public gar
den.
The English sparrow has no excuse
for living. 1t is dirty, noisy and quar-
relsome and 1t has an appetite which
disdains the injurious insects which
American birds consider tidbits. The
ought to be extinguished, and
II would be if a little horse sense were
a part of the possessions OF some OF
the humanitarians of the United
States-Chicago Evening Post.
