Representative Hardwick of
Georgia tried to make noun
tain out of a mole hill and like
other architects of his kind work
ed out a failure. Apparently, he
thought he saw an opportunity
to embarrass the administration
by making itappear that the gov
ernment was willing to pour out
its treasure to find John Jacob
Astor. To this end he introduc.
ed a resolution calling on the Sec
retary of the Navy for informa-
tion as to what action was taken
by the Navy Department to dis
cover the whereabouts of the sea-
going yacht of Mr.. Astor when
that craft was thought to have
been wrecked in a recent storm.
The resolution also called for q
report on the expenditure made
by the Navy Department on that
account. Of course. the NAVY
Department took no part in the
search for Mr.. Astor's yacht.

Mayor Gaynor has made a good
start in his new office. The New
York newspapers are united in
saying that his appointments are
satisfactory and that he has cho-
sen men who are competent to
fill the offices and whose records
are such as to commend their Sc
lection to the taxpayers of the
metropolis. Mr.. Gaynor said
some pleasant words about Chas.
F. Murphy, the Tammany lead
er, but gave no offices to the
Tammany organization. Tam

and cares little about promises.
What it strives for is results.
Without patronage, and plenty
of it, Tammany is powerless to

time. Judge Gaynor has a great
opportunity before him to dem
onstrate to the country that he
is not in the control of the polit-
ical system which has plundered
New York. 1t is said that he
wants to be president. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful if his wish will
ever be gratifed, but he has a
chance to make for himself a
name that will be a credit to his
children and that will be remem-
bered as a synonym for civic vir-
tue. And that's worth more than
being president.

The conference which is to be
held in Washington this month
to promote legislation ought to
have the support of every citi-
zen in the land. Back Of this
movement stands the Civic Fed
Grafton, whose activities were
never devoted to a more worthy
cause. Seth Low, former mayor
of New York, will preside at the
Washington conference and the
speakers will include President
Taft, Governor Hughes, Judge
Parker, Andrew Carnegie, and
other distinguished students of
political and social problems.
The need of uniform legisla-
ton is manifestly desirable. I'm
proved facilities of transporta-
ton, the investment of capital,
the development of corporations
and the multiplicity Of subjects
which were not thought of half
century ago have brought pro-
blems which, under our form of
government, are most difficult to
solve. Uniform legislation by
the states themselves, where un-
iformity is desirable, will remove
one of the greatest difficulties
and answer the strongest argu-
ment in favor of extending the
power of the federal govern
ment.
1t is inevitable that the forth
coming conference will have to
thrash out contest over the
question of the rights of the
states. 1t is sincerely to be hop
ed that this will not involve a
clash which will result in a di-
vision of the forces of the Fede-
ration. There is plenty of work
at hand for such an organization
to promote without treading on
the toes of those who look with
dread on the growing power of
the central government.
In the first place, there are a
number of bills which the Ma
tional Association of Uniform
State Law Commissioners, a bo-
dy formed some eighteen years
ago on the initiative of the Amer
lean Bar Association, has unani-
mously endorsed. These meas
ures include the negotiable in
struments act, which has been
adopted by thirtyeight states;
the warehouse receipts act, a.
dopted by eighteen states and |
territories; the sales of goods
act, adopted by six states and |
territories and the divorce act, |
adopted by three states. Uni
form state legislation upon pure
food, child labor, the liability of |
employers, the incorporation of
companies, the regulation of au-
tomobiles, the issue or securities,
road building, control of mines,
etc., are most desirable. The
work of the Washington confer |
ence will be available for a dozen
or more state legislatures which
meet this winter.

Sheep In the Corn Belt.

It is impossible for the mind to COM
prehend the benefit that would be de-
rived from the practice of pasturing- a
few sheep on every farm in the corn
belt, says the Des Moines Qa.l Home,
stead. If this could be done we would
have a country without weeds. and
from my standpoint that would be the
millennium.

SLAUGHTER OF SEALS SHOULD
 BE STOPPED.

President TaGrs special message 10 Congress requesting that the govern ments lease with the North American Commercial company be terminated and that seal fishing be prohibited at the Pribuof islands comments itself to those who are familiar with the sealing situation, for without eQuivo- cation Taft has struck at the root of one of the most fragrant cases of a raping of natural resources on record.
 For years the North American Com mercial company has had the eSclu- sive priviledgc of sealing along the Pribuog islands. They have been al. lowed to kin not more than l5.ooo seals each year and paid price of SIO Der skin. It will be seen that in return for the exclusive sealing priv uege the government never was re- turned more than $I5O,OOo per annum and when it is considered that the government had several cutters in commission protecting the corporation in it's monopoly and the salaries of the inspectors and various other itms are figured it will be seen that this amount was not clear profit As a matter of fact the government spent as much as s57o,ooo in single year in protecting the seals and pros. ,cutiug poachers. thus steadily losing money on the lease.
 In addition the lease itself was let at a ridiculously low figure
 The most grave aspect of the case however. was the threatened extiuc- ton of the seals. The proper regula- tions that would have protected the perperua,iou of the seal herd were not observed and as a consequence the herd was rapidly dwiudliug in numbers and had the existing coudi- uons been continued it would have been a matter of a comparatively few years until the seals of the Pacific would have been as completely and ruthlessly killed off as were the Bisor herds that once roamed the western plains and now are almost a memory.
 The facts of the sealing situation were we'll known along the Pacific coast and in Alaska and the case was presented to the attention of Taft The President has met the issue fair Iy and the result is one of the most pleasing acts of his administrative career. for while the sealing industry could not be said Go be of prime im- portauce to AIaskaus under the pres ent conditions. if the seals are care fully fosJered the herd will soon re- gain its former numbers and with proper conservation the industry will be on a permanent paying basis both to the government and the les secs

BOYS WAS GREAT
ELEVEN BOYS IN CHARGE OF
PHYSICAL DIRECTOR n. 6. HOP
PEN HAD EvENTFUL DAY OF 1T
THROUGH THE WOODS.

Eleven boys in charge of Prof. H.
E. Hopper, the physical director at the
Y. M. c. A, enjoyed tramp through
the woods yesterday that each of them
will have cause to remember for many
a day. The boys who were in the
bunch were: Mead Wilson, Huxley
Carter, John Gibson, Maura Leslie,
Earl Kendrick, o. Ortell, Pebley Bar
row, Lou. Caro-, VIII Caro- and
Speedy" Watson.
The bunch, with knapsacks filled
with food for the trip, left the Y. NJ.
c. A. building at o'clock In the morn
ing, going eastward until they crossed
the Bayou Texar briuge, thence they
selected a northeast course, going as
far up as the Baars place, at the head
of the bayou. Thence they struck
eastward, hoping to come out near or
at Bohemia, about seven miles east
of the city. When they had travelled
for quite a distance and the idea &C.
CURED to them that they had Missed
Bohemia, one OF the boys climbed a
tall tree to ascertain the position. The
party from such reconnoitre was found
to have been about three miles east OF
Bohemia, and then their steps were
retraced. Arriving a. Bohemia, they
procured a supply of water and then
started again, travelling along the
beach for about a mile where dinner
was served. 1t was a meal, the en-
ioyment of which was remarked upon
by all present. After ainner the young
men enjoyed some real mountain
climbing, scaling the huge bluffs along
the bay shore. This was continued
until Magnolia Bluff, the gathering
ground for the many pleasure parties,
was reached, and thence across to
Gadsden street road, which route was
taken and held until the city was
reached
Mr.. Hopper said last night that the
bows showed wonderful endurance
