They Can Pity Woes
 So Like Their Own
(From Wednesdays Examiner)


 Hon. Mulford Winsor and Hon. La mar Cobb, both candidates for the nomination for congress in the late primary election, have given out the following correspondence, which pass ed between them after the primary votes had been counted, says the Bis bee Review.
 Cobb and Winsor, like Jack Will Hams. were so unfortunate as to be pitted against the Democratic giant of Maricopa county, Hon. Carl Hayden. Following is the correspondence be- tween the defeated congressional can didates after the primary:
 Cobb's Letter:
 Clifton, Ariz., Oct. 27, 1911. Hon. Mulford Winsor, Yuma, Ariz.
 My Dear Mulford-Permit me to mingle my tears with yours, at the same time drinking to the success or the big one from Maricopa. If you need any more sack cloth and ashes draw on me at sight, l can pay promptly. It is the only currency now have. The direct primary is un- doubtedly a poor mans game-aftsr sakinu. Please thank my friends in Yuma for their support. AS soon as find yours up here; I'll do the same and more.

Protection Of Game.

with the freuuent accounts published IN
uewspapers and magazines concerning the
extinction Of game in the United States
ia refreshing to read an occasional
account TO tho contrary. Now and then
reports como over tho wires that wild life
1. so abundant and vigorous that the
farmers cry out against Its depredations.
A dispatch from Dunkirl. n. Y. says:
Farmers IN western New York. who
lost thousands OF dollars on their corn
crop last year because of unseasonal
yield this year owing to the depredations
Of countless 1ocks OF wild geese. The
birds are protected by the game laws
and there appears to be little or nothing
that the farmers can do. Not in fifty
years have the wild geese been go numer-
Gus. BY tens Of thousands they are
earnped along the swanps and along tho
banks Of lakes"
In the iowa legislature recently a NOM
Der from Pottawattornie county COM
planned that there were so many deer in
his part OF the state that they should re
caught and distributed among parks IN
the state. He IS reported to have said
'-rl,e expense OF capturing the animals
and delivering Thorn should be paid by
the management Of the parks desiring
them. In this manner we would eiimi-
nate the heavy annual expense TO the
state caused by the damage done by the
deer. remove . heavy burden from the
shoulders Of certain farmers and assist
tho management OF parks in making
their beauty spots still moro attractive"
Last year there was an open season
for deer IN Massachusetts. due. 1t was
said. TO the rapid Increase OF the animals
and their depredations on farms. It has
never been clear whether the Massachl-
setts open season was the result Of COM
plants from farmers or Of pleas from
fportsmen and other men who wanted
TO kill animals. At any rate. there was
a deeP-elaying carnival and the deer were
nearly b1otted out Tho creatures in
numerous cases had become as tame as
Domestic animals and countless instances
Of cruelty were noted.
Ono OF the lessons In all this Is that
protective measures applied 70 game-if
not applied too Iate-will bring back
creatures thai give SO much interest to
the human family.

Parks as Building Sites.

| The plfblfc-spirited press and people
Of New York city are fighting to pre-
serve historic City Hall Park. In New
York as elsewhere there are legislators
who. when a new public building is
| contemplated. Immediately seize upon
the idea that the proper site for It is
a public park. The state senate has
passed a bill providing for the cree
ton Of a new county courthouse in
! City Hall Park. New York. or the
thoughtful and reasonable part Of New
York city's people, resent this in
! trusion upon the park. The New York
Times says:
1.-THE we'll defined policy Of this city
lis to place no more public buildings In
tits parks. Invasion of City Hall Park
with the vast winged building of the
county courthouse would not only ruin
that park and destroy the effect Of the
beautiful city hall. but would prevent
forever the development OF noble

over any city. Parks are few. hard to
get. and hard to keep. Covetous eyes
are on them always. Every city has
