the year.
We were telling our farmer
friends last week about killing
the bugs, etc, now. There are
two reasons why the bugs and
grasshoppers destroyed your
crops last year. One is that you
haven't been doing enough fall
and early winter blowing and
thus exposing the bugs and eggs
to the winter weather.
The other reason is that too
many quails and insect destroy
ing birds have been foolishly
slaughtered. You are largely
to blame in both cases. OF course
it was pretty dry to pillow last
fall, but more blowing could have

Der of the citizens who have
asked me to become a candidate

noting a consideration of the
real issues, and that is the eX-
tent of commanding obligation as
! see il at this time.
Il am committed to certain
undertakings Of more or less
nature particularly in educa-
tional affairs and in the matter
of a solution of the problem Of
fair cotton pricing and 1t seems
TO me that these are superior
duties and opportunities for ser
vice. Active endeavor in these
respects is not Incompatible with
honorable Office seeking, but in
these days Of morbid suspicious
and perverse misrepresentation
an appearance of political pur-
pose is more or less hurtful to
efficiency, and ! prefer to be un-
hindered in doing what think |
ought to do or what my fellow
men ask me to do.
ITO small minds this may
seem a little egotistical or self
important, ibut those who know

pie, | am sure, will accept It in

Senate Calls for
Automobile Inquiry

Senator Bristow of Kansas, who when
the District appropriation bill was uh
der consideration objected to the way
Government officials were caVorting
about in automobiles owned by the Gov
ernment, followed up his objections made
at that time by getting the Senate yes
terday afternoon to adopt series of res
olutions calling on the heads of depart
ments, the Commissioners, the Govern
ment Printing Office, the Smithsonian
Institution. and the Civil Service Com
mission, to submit to the Senate state
ments of the vehicles used by them.
The resolutions ask for data on the
purpose for which each vehicle is used.
the make Of the automobiles, the num-
bCr of employees, how much time each
cmploye devotes to the Government SER
vice and to whom each vehicle is as
signed.
Senator Brstows purpose is not to
do away with the vehicles actually
needed for Government use, but to
stop the practice of use of Government
vehicles by officials for their own pTi-
vate purposes and those of their fam
lilies. He is convinced large numbers of
vehicles are being wrongfullY used.

WHY MANY AMBITIOUS MEN ARE

March 26:-The growing complexity and

ing increasing demands upon the individual.
Is held accountable for the condition now eX-
listing where thousands OF ambitious men,
sincerely desiring to better themselves and
their positions, are prevented from doing so
on account of the lack OF necessary time for
the preparation. II has been difficult for
many TO avoid getting into "the rut.''
Recognizing this prevailing condition one
Of our Washington schools has laid out prac-
tical courses in valuable branches Of learning,

the affairs Of life can avail themselves Of the
opportunity for advancement by devotlng

The training Is along lines in which there
is constant demand for good men, such as
Architectural Drafting, Steel Structural
Drafting, Patent Office Drafting, Mechanical
Drafting and other courses.
The popularity of this work at the Colum
bia School Of Drafting IL attested by the
number Of men registering weekly at the
McLachlen Building. There seems to be no
age lines, for men of families as well as
single men are taking advantage OF the
training. The school found II necessary TO

COMMITTEE FAVORS
LABOR DEPARTMENT
Bill Creating New Executive Bu-
reau To Be Re-
ported.

The creation of Department of
Labor as a separate Government de-
partment. having as it's head a member
of the Cabinet, is to be recommended
by the House Committee on Labor. 1t
was learned today that the committee
has practically determined to report
favorably a bill introduced by Congress-
man SulZer of New York provid-
ing for the creation of another execu-
tive department of the Government.
The new department will devote
itself exclusively to labor questions,
and In this respect will be an offspring
of the existing Department of Com
merce and Labor, which probably will
become known merely as the Depart
ment of Commerce.
Labor leaders for years have been
maintaining that there should be a
separate Government department and a
Cabinet officer devoting special atten-
ton to labor questions Chairman VIII
son. of the House Committee on Labor,
said today he expected the COMMITTEES
would recommend the creation of such
department by reporting the Sulzer

GENERAL EDUCATION
BEFORE ECONOMIC ONE
President of Vassar College
Strikes Popular Chord In
Lecture Here.

Washington educators, especially
those who have made a speciality of
the development of women education
ally, heartily coincide with the views
expressed last night by DR.. Madison
Taylor president of Vassar College,
who declares that he believes that a
broad general education in the classics
should be given women before they are
trained in the accomplishments of the
home. DR.. Taylor expressed this view
before the Washington branch Of the
Associate Alumnae of Vassar at the
annual dinner Of the organization held
at the Shoreham Hotel.
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey. the we'll
known woman lawyer and member Of
the District Board of Education, de-
Clares that DR.. Taylor is correct in ad-
vocating the teaching of English and
other essential economics.
ANY woman who has had q college
training is usually better fitted as a
keeper of a home than one who has
been taught the domestic sciences -
said Mrs. Mussey this morning. Hence
she makes the best wife and mother.
l am sure that other educators will be
unstinted in their advocacy of DR.. Tay-
lOr's plan

2 WONDERFUL GAME LAW

The Alaska game law is fear fully and wonderfully made. In the Boring Sea country and in the interior wild fowl can not be killed until nearly every migrating bird has plumed it's wings and taken flight south- ward. By the time the birds return in the spring the sea- son is closed. In southern AL aska the law regards the bear black or brown or grizzly, with a solicitude that demands that is shall be given full and ample protection, when, as a matter of fact the hunter is in more need of protection from one species of bear than is the animal itself. We opine that the Kodiak bear, for in- stance, was included in the game conservation policy be- cause it is a royal animal and occasionally furnishes fine hunting for Congressmen, lords, dukes, milliOnaires and others of that ilk, with a ret inue of gunbearers, beaters, valets and helpers.
 That certain provisions of such a game law are violated need not be wondered at. Not long ago an interior preacher. who is fond of hunting. went cut after ducks and geese dur Ing the closed season. lie fowl were there by the tens of thousands, full-fledged and milling around previous to mi grating South. The domino SC cured a good bag and started on his return to his home. .A friendly soul gave him the in- formation that brace of dep- uty marshals and a game war den or two were lying-in-walt fir him on his way up the river. The minister transferred his fowl to another steamer, W hile he himself stopref of at a river town until the Olfl- cers tired oI their watch. I'e was not apprehended. But he complained that his Sarae WAS entirely too "high" fo: his Ial. ate by the time that it reached the cook.
 The game of Alaska should be carefully protected, but the protection afforded should be reasonable and not foolish.- Alaska Daily Empire.
