British public deemed the treaty of

Gen. Andrew Jackson at New Orleans
had destroyed the British army and had
restored the glory of American arms by
a victory whose glory is unsurpassed in
the annals Of war
If modern means of communication had

dorsement in England. in Canada and in
advocates of world peace that the pro-

The chances for the installation of a

brighter than when it was first men,
toned at the beginning OF the session.
The matter was taken as a sort of joke
at the opening, but since the matter
has been thrcshed out in the commit
tees, explained on the floor of the two
houses and worked for in the lobbies,
there has come change over the ap-
pearance of things. and while there is
a chance that the matter will not be
finally disposed Of at the present SEES
sion. a start has been made which will
undoubtedly result in the passing of
some sort OF uniform accounting legis-

is all right. but there are many things
to be worked out in the securing of a
practical system. There are undoubt-

chances for some improvements to both

federal OFFICER OPPOSES
EARLY Spring Shooting

T. S. Palmer, assistant chief of the
bureau of biological survey of the
federal government is very much op.
posed to the plan of reinstating the
spring shooting of geese in North
Dakota, and in a letter to Senator
J. E. Stevens he sets forth his opinion
on that subjec quite clearly. The
proposed amendment to the game law
allowing spring shooting comes be-
fore the senate on favorable report
from the game and fish committee.
Mr.. Pelmer's letter on the subject
follows:
Permit me to say that, in my opin-
ion. the effort to allow shooting of
wild fowl in spring in North Dakota
is most short sighted and extremely
detrimental to the best interests of
the state. The wild fowl form an
important asset of the state and may
be developed into resource which
will bring in a considerable revenue.
No provision could be devised which
would more certainly or more quickly
drive out the ducks and geese or pre-
vent their increase than the proposal
