LOS ANGELES. March 12.-Hiram
johnson. choice of the Lincoln -Roose-
welt league for governor OF California,
tonight formally opened his campaign
at mass meeting in Simpson auditor
ium. where a big audience had assem-
bled to hear him.
Earlier in the day Johnson addressed
the city club, denouncing Aldrich and
Cannon, lauding Roosevelt and profess
ing sorrow over the political disgrace
that has befallen San Francisco, where,
as he said. the cause OF good govern
ment has not advanced.
1t takes q deal OF assurance for a
man from San Francisco, where heads
are bowed in shame, to talk to Los
Angeles, where heads are held high
in the glory of achievement of good
government was Johnson's introduc-
tion. He told how liberty and equality
had come into the world and of the
complexities that had arisen in this
country until liberty and equality were
given TO but the favored few. The
great interests are Joined today for
exploitation and profit and for self
defense said Johnson.
Ought we not to join together for
the self-defense Of all the people?
I'VE have seen the senate, the great
y
turned into a rich mans club. where
the representa- tives of the special inter
ests sit. In the house Cannon sits like
q czar on his throne and allows only
such legislation as his masters permit
We see such individuals even in the
ca binet of the president. The system
has given US Cannon and Aldrich and
Ballinger but. thank God, it has also
given US Theodore Roosevelt
with which TO fight these special inter
ests. 1t is the direct primary, and the
day Is not far distant when we will
have the initiative in every part of our
state and in every county. We have
the men of the nation aroused at last
We have the few in Washington who
are fighting for our general interests,
and the eyes of the nation are t4rned to
Africa and the arms of the nation are
stretched out TO welcome home the
leader
WALLACE FOR SECOND PLACE
The decision to name Wallace as
Johnson's running mate was made to-
day in pursuance, it is said. of the
agreement to choose the candidate for
governor from the north and the can
didate for lieutenant governor from the
south.
Wallace in accepting the offer to be
the leagues candidate outlined the cam
paign he and Johnson expect TO make.
They viii tour the state in automobiles,
visiting every city and village.
Following the announcement of Wal
lace's selection and acceptance, John
son stepped forward. and for several
minutes the applause was so great that
he could not be heard. He threw down
the gage of battle to W. F. Herrin and
the Southern Pacific. declaring that for
40 years the politics of the state had
been dominated from the Southern Pa
cifc political bureau in San Francisco.
But this will end Johnson conclud-
ed. after the August primaries. Here
after the people will press the button
that directs the states government"

Government Declares War on Sparrows

hunts the nesting places and destroys
eggs and young blue birds, house
wrens, tree swallows and barn swal-
lows. The robin, the catbird and the
hooking bird it attacks and drives out
of parks and shade trees. It has no
song, but drives out the song birds
and brings only noise in return.
After having learned all this about
the sparrow, after an extensive in
vestigation, the department of agricul-
ture shows way to destroy the
bird. First, whenever sparrows roost
around your house, destroy their nests.
If they roost at night on your caves
trough, drive them away with long
pole. BY destroying nests wherever
they are seen the increase can be pre-
vented.
The sparrows likes to nest In cavi-
ties and can be trapped through this
preference. 1t will roost in boxes
that may be put up to make its cap
ture easy. 1t may be lured to spread
grain and shot and killed in other
ways, or may be poisoned
Wheat soaked in strychnin is said
to be preferable This method has
been adopted in California, where it
was necessary to protect ripening
fruit.

r HE English sparrow is the pirate OF
i the air, just as the rat is the free
booter of the earth, and ought to be
sxterminated. So rules the depart
ment of agriculture in bulletin just
published, which also tells how to get
id of the pest.
This declaration of war by the gov
eminent is in striking contrast to re-
lief movements started in certain cit
les recently to save these birds from
starvation because of the severe win
ter.
This sparrow studiously, says the
department bulletin, hunts and eats
insects that are beneficial to plant life,
while it passes over more or less those
that are harmful. The only good thing
it does is to eat the seed of weeds and
prevent their spread. Aside from that
there is nothing to be said in its favor.
More than that, it is murderous. 1t

tai work Of the forest service in
methods of conservative operation
dates from 1901, when DR.. Herty I'M.
dertook the studies with whose splen-
did results you have long been IA
miliar.
Because of the increased initial
cost of the equipment such methods
have not appealed to the smaller op-
orators, who have little capital and
whose operations extend over only
two or three years in given locality.
They are unQuestionably profitable to
the larger operators and especially to
those who, working upon their own
timber, have the most inducement to
handle it carefully. Only within the
last five years. have these improved
methods been introduced upon a COM
mercial scale.
yet the fact that already one-sev-
enth of the entire output of naval
stores is by these methods and that
in the newer fields and most up-to-
date operations they are used most
largely demonstrates that they have
passed far beyond the experimental
stage"

by the copper still in 1884 greatly in
creased the output of volatile oil and
gave much impetus to the industry.
However, previous to 1874 not over
one-half of the production in North
Carolina was distilled at home. Then
because of the poor market for rosin,
the stills were transferred from the
ports to the woods, and a heavy on
slaught upon the longleaf pine forests
of the south began.
North Carolina reached its maxi
mum in naval stores production In
1890, with an expectation Of 6,279,-
$50 gallons of turpentine, and 633.967
barrels of rosin. A comparison OF
this great expectation with a total
production in North Carolina in 1908
of 10000 gallons of turpentine and
121,9O0 barrels of rosin tells the story
of the exhaustion of the longleaf pine
in that state. South Carolina attained
its maximum output of naval stores in
1882. only two years after that Of
North Carolina. The invasion Of new
forests of virgin timber brought Geor-
gia to the front few years later, but
recently that state has been surpassed

industry. After following the long
leaf pine forests to their southern linn
it's, turpentiniing swung to the west
ward across Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas, the latter state having be-
come a considerable producer only
within the last seven years.
Until recently naval stores were
entirely produced by one of the crud-
est and most destructive systems of
forest exploitation ever devised. Great
damage by fire and storm has always
followed the turpentine box. Thou.
sands of acres of splendid longleaf
pine forests have been abandoned and
destroyed after three or four years Of
turpentining and the valuable timber
which they contained not utilized.
1.-THE destructiveness of the box sys-
tenn at last became so apparent and
widespread that to perpetuate their
industry the operators were forced to
turn to other methods. Various sub.
