rnn DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

Having been engaged in the work
Of making medicine whereby they
hope to conjure the voters into sup
porting their six candidates for con-
rressionat honoss, the Democratic
platform makers have announced the
result Of their labors. They have
set forth a foolish statement of the
ills Of Republican rule in the nation.
They have fred off their cracker on
the subject OF Cannonism and other
dead and gone issues. They have
taken high and hilarious ground on
the tariff aud they have split hairs
on the subject of states rights versus
federal prerogative. They are seek
ing to turn back the sun upon the
dial Of Maryland progress in seeking
to align this state with reactionary
positions. They are decrying the
very genius Of the nation in their
insincere platitudes against the power
fnl and popular agencies of public
Welfare aud political progress.
'Insidious robbery" is the phrase
BY which they label their Sherlock
Holmes conclusions with regard to
the tariff, the odious tariff, the
iniquitous tariff, the-but the langu-
age Of the Democratic document may
be cited: aThe insidious robbery
to which the American people have
been subjected by the protection ex-
tended by the Republican party has
produced coalition between the
Republican party and monopoly
Yet this precious stuff is foisted
upon the people at the very time the
trust. busting hammer is descending
upon one and another trust, at the
time the New York Republicans
have done a monumental work Of
arraying the forces of righteousness
against unjust monopoly, at the very
time the Republican administrator
has such bill of industrial health to
display as would adorn any nation
upon the globe. The paucity Of
argument, the feebleness Of the rea-
son, that characterized the Demo
cratic document are enough to rate
it among the least seryiceable Of
literary documents.
When the Democrats framed their
last suffrage amendment the late
John P. Poe chided them for ignor-
ing national issues. They have now
gone to the other extreme. The
season in both cases is apparent. 10
the one they hoped to play the win
ming stake upon the amendment. In
the other they hoped to play the
winning stake by perverting the facts
OF national progress.-Balto. Ameri-

The Democratic convention at
Rochester has in its hands the fate
Of the party in New York State. A
month ago victory seemed certain.
The Republican party was in the
hands of the discredited sold guard"
weighed down BY the burden Of
graft" and corruption" Today
after contest that has stirred the
State from the Canadian border to
Long Island, the Roosevelt element
is in control. The most determined
and resourceful politician of his time
has taken personal charge Of the sit
uation. Let not the Democrats
minimize the power of Roosevelt.

Islands Set Aside
as Breeding Places

~ THESE are I'M
der the direction Of the Department of
Agriculture, which co-operates with the
National Audubon Society for the protec
ton and preservation of birds, Most of
the bird reservations are along the Pa
cific and gulf coasts. although there are
inland reservations in Dakota, in Michi-
gan. in California and in Oregon. These
last are fntendedSfor fresh water birds,
since land birds do not breed in large
colonies.
Among the southern and gulf islands
devoted to bird protection are Pelican
Island, off Florida. which is the home of
the snowy heron; the Battledore Islands
off the coast Of Louisiana. where the
royal tern is lodged, and a group of small
salt grass islets or shoals known as the
Mosquito. -Islets, along the gulf coast.
The Audubon Society provides seven
steam launches. which are always In
service for the inspection Of these, and
other bird reservations. 1t also pays
officers or game wardens to look after
the interests Of birds in different locaii-
ties and see that all laws are properly
enforced. -e.'sl
The position of game warden in the
southern states has proved dangerous
one. no less than three men having been
brutally murdered within the last two
years during the performance of their
duty. The vigilance of these officers has
now entirely stamped out every large
industry In plumes and feathers. but
there are numberless private individuals

apparatus have rendered it possible each
year to kill birds with less difficulty. So
rapidly has this decrease been recognized
during the past ten years that it is stated
upon good authority that il allowed to
continue unchecked, the American wild
duck will be known to the future student
Of the next generation only through the
pages of natural history. American wild
ducks are divided into two classes, known
as divers and non-divers. Divers have to
go to the bottom Of the water for food
and are more apt to come within the
range Of the hunter through the allure
heads. blue bills and bay widgeons are
among the best known of the diving
ducks. The non-divers include the NAL
lards. the black and gray ducks and
several others.
Last month 5000 wild ducks were re-
ported to have been shipped from George
town, 8. c., in one day. While this was
annunprecedented record never likely to
be duplicated, it Is an evidence of the
rapidly with which the American water
fowl is being slaughtered. Recognizing
also the loss to the world in their extinc-
ton, the sportsmen themselves are urg
ing the passing Of hunting laws and their
proper enforcement. Legislation upon
this subject is now pending in almost
every state in the Union.
The national government also has taken
up the matter through several depart
ments and is endeavoring to provide ev-
cry possible protection to birds. Bird
harbors and breeding places have been
established by executive orders, the first
OF these being along the coast of Alaska
and on some islands near Hawaii. With

The Japanese poachers were disposed to

and were so severely dealt with as to
make them an example likely to hinder
further depredations of the kind.
