Senator HaIe's Withdrawal.
(Kennebeo Journal

The letter of Senator Hale withdraw
ing from the senatorial contest will be
tho occasion of sincere regret to a
host of friends who appreciate the
great part he has played for years
past in the official life at the national
capital and the distinguished services
he has rendered his State.
The letter itself was just such one
rs might have been expected from a
man OF Senator Hale's calibre 1t was
characterized alike by its frankness
and breadth of spirit. Through it
"a: the note of loyalty to republican
ideals that has always been character
istic of the senator throughout his
long and honorable public career.
The State of Maine has just reason
to feel proud of Senator Hale, and the
Journal believes that as a matter OF
tact very great majority OF the citi-
zens of this State have a deep and
abiding appreciation of the exception
ally able and brilliant record he has
made during the nearly thirty years
he has represented Maine in the ma
tional Senate.
As the Journal said, in its issue of
yesterday, Senator Hale has been for
a number of years past the virtual
republican leader of the Senate.
There has been comparatively little
important legislation in recent years
in the shaping of which he has not
taken some part, either in committee
or on the floor of the Senate.
Last year he was made chairman of
the Senate committee on appropria-
tions. Prior to that time he served
for many years as chairman of COM
mittee ON naval affairs, and to his in
telligent and untiring work has largely
been due the building up of our mod
ern navy. In the committee on ap-
preparations, of which Senator Hale is
chairman, the most important legis-
lation of the Senate is considered and
shaped.
For many years the senior Maine
senator was chairman of the commit
tee on census, and is still it's ranking
member.
Senator Hale became a member of
the committee on finance last year,
and in the preparation of the last
tariff bill bore a conspicuously able
and successful part in safeguarding
the interests of Maine. Only those
familiar with the course of this legis-
lation will know how largely his
services contributed to the prosperity
of our State.
Senator Hale is a member of the
important monetary commission, and
is chairman of the committee on pub
lie expenditures.
Senator Hale is chairman of what is
known as the Senate steering COM
mitteen which has control of the bust
Senate outside of the great appropri-
alton bills. This, in itself, shows his
high standing with his fellow senators,
n does also the fact that for six years
he served as chairman of the Senate
oom mittee on committees-a longer
service in this important position than
was ever enjoyed by any other
senator.
Few men have ever been more eff

MILLIONS IN BIRD LIFE.
New Plan to Teach Saying of Crop
Loss by Preserving the Birds.

Loss by Preserving the Birds.
Proposing to save the peopl, OF this
country at lesst &c, 0o0, 900 each year, plans
for national Audubon university to be
endowed with 100000 were announced
in New York recently.
Based upon the known crop loss Of e.
900, 900 due to the spreading pests
that the insect eating birds destroy, the
calculations OF the national association OF
Audubon societies, which is putting forth
this project, show that the teaching of
bird value from such an institution must
result in wiping out at least one per cent.
of the huge national penalty for popular
lack OF knowledge on that subject. When
q. O00, 900 can be raised for the new uni
versity, it is supposed to start at once its
work. which promises ntually to con-
tribute hundreds OF millions to American
prosperity.
Every man, woman and child through
out the United States is to be included as
a student in the proposed Audubon uni
versity. Through hundreds of lecturers
and teachers, who are to be educated in
the science Of natures checks to the de-
struction of the country's crops and woods,
the economic principles of bird preserva-
tion will be taught to the people Of every
community.
By means Of university extension and
correspondence courses, the saving effect
Of the wild birds upon agriculture in
every section will be presented to the
workers on the six million farms Of the
country. Each phase of the science of
economic ornithology will be studied at
this unique seat of learning and presented
to the people whose material gain is to-
day seriously hampered by lack of light
on the subject.
Reports from every state and county
in the land have convinced the officers Of
the national association OF Audubon So
cieties that all the American people are
now ready and eager to learn to guard
against the money loss that surely follows
the destruction Of the country's feathered
resources. Only the wide presentation Of
the facts and figures of economic bird
value can ever check the alarming spread
of crop plaques over the continent, the or
nithologists and agricultural authorities
declare. To tell this saving story to all
adults and particularly to the children
of America is believed to be the only
emergency measure that can now prevail
to preserve the agricultural and general
wealth of the country.
GAS a business proposition as well as a
splendid philanthropic opportunity,
want to present the nations need for our
proposed university to all Americans who
have the good of their country at heart"
said William butcher, president of the
national association OF Audubon socie-
ties. ''For every hundred thousand dol
lars put into this work OF economic educa-
ton, q million is sure to be saved to the
agricultural interests OF the whole people.
Successful agriculture means general
prosperity, and thus every merchant,
manufacturer and business man of any
sort is vitality interested and should bear
his part in our present plan to educate the
public to these great economic principles
OF bird conservation"
