and Coon Hunting


The st. Louis Republic has done a
good service to the cause OF conser-
walton in calling to public attention
the lamentations OF Bill Smoon OF
Arkansas, whose soul is troubled be-
cause thinning Of the timber threat
ems the perpetuity Of the honorable
and ancient sport of coon hunting.
This phase Of the great problem, 80
far as our knowledge goes, has not
before received consideration. IL
presses, therefore, all the harder for
prompt attention, and 1t should get
it from the high apostles OF conserya-
ton.
Coon hunting cannot be sacrificed
and certainly the timber must not be-
We half believe the Republic has a
more direct interest in the appeal
than its seemingly unselfsh cham
pionship of Bill smoon's case would
indicate. Coon hunting has been the
pre-eminent sport in Missouri as well
as Arkansas for these many years,
ever since, in fact, coon skins became
legal tender down in the Ozarks, and
IL is quite likely that the editor of
the Republic, himself keeps a pack
o. dogs"
But Bill Smoon is like a good many
other folks who are crying loudest
against devastating the forests; he
wants TO save the trees and use them
at the same time. Everybody who
knows that the way to catch a coon
is to tree him and then chop the tree
down and let the dogs catch him.
The more coons caught, of course,
the fewer trees you have, but Bill
Smoon probably lays that on the
government II ought to provide
some way Of making two trees grow
where but one grew before in these
days OF rip-snorting progress and
intensive farming.
The Republic suggests the solution
Jet some champion Of the tree fg-
ure out a new way of getting the
coon other than by cutting down the
tree and Bill smoon will be a happy
man once more.

Business and Politics.

Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin,
whose election TO the senate is just
now being officially investigated, has
never attempted TO conceal the fact
that he spent 100000 in his pri-
mary election campaign, but he does
deny that the money was. wrongfully
OF illegally expended At least, that is
what his managers tell him and he
says he depended entirely on them for
results, insisting that they stay within
the law. The senator justifies this
course by explaining that be is presi-
dent of dozen or more big business
concerns and necessarily he must de-
pend upon his subordinates for the
details OF management and that he
conducted his campaign for the SEN
ate on exactly the same principle.
One need not question the sin
certify or honesty OF Senator stephen
son to uncover his error In assuming
that politics and business are subject,
in this relation to the same rules.
His dozen business enterprises are his
own private affair-he need not pay
as scrupulous attention to their op-
erations. A seat in the United States
senate is not entirely his private at
fair. II involves the business Of the
public. OF the people, even the people
outside Of the state OF Wisconsin.
Senator Stephenson insists he got
his election fairly. Whether he aid OF
not. il sets a questionable precedent
in the politics OF a democracy for any
man TO turn 100000 over to polit-
zeal campaign managers TO spend as
they please 10 get him a seat In the
senate. That. II followed. woSlG shut

Importance OF Pure rood Laws.
Inside friction. that is disagree
ment as to the meaning Of the law
and also as to its validity among
some of those charged with it's en-
forcement, is supposed TO have
hindered operation Of the Sherman
antitrust law for a long time. Now.
then, the same question had been
raised respecting our newer pure
food and drug laws Evidently
President Taft proposed to take no
chances on letting the laws suffer
from any such unworthy and unim-
portant a cause His official house
cleaning in the Department Of Agri-
culture, therefore. may be expected
TO have a prompt and benefcent
effect
The president has done a good job
in his vigorous handling of this OFF,
cial family mess. He has cleared
away some obstacles, we may well
believe, from a free operation OF
these very important laws
Laws that look to the health and
life of the people cannot be sacri-
feed to selfish interest. It requires
no argument nowadays to convince
the ordinary man OF intelligence
that this country needed statutes TO
protect It from food and drug adul-
terations. Even with what impeded
administration OF those laws the
country has had II has prohted
tremendously and when they get to
working with full precision 1t should
profit more. Perhaps we shall event
ually come to DR.. Wiley's proposition
Of a national board Of health, but

out these measures can do very good
service.

City of TripoIi.


The city OF Tripoli, the capital Of the
country, had populatio of 10000 in 1900
Its harbor is accessible to vessels draw
ing fourteen feet of water. 1t owes its i'm
portance as the commercial center of the
country to the three historic caravan
routes of which It is the terminus. The
first of these runs south across the desert
Of the Sahara TO Lake Chad, the second
southwest to Timbuktu and the third
south by cast TO Wadai and points in
Darfur, The city, which is typically
oriental, lies in fertile plain. 1t is a
city of slender minarets and domed
mosques. There is still standing in it
a splendid Roman triumphsl arch erected
to Marcus Aurelius.

Italy was granted the right Of pacific

trade rights beyond and above native

the privilege to the limit and beyond,
causing more or less strife among the
