Protection For
The Florida Birds.

The Journal agrees with John H.
Wallace. commissioner of the depart
ment of game and fish OF Alabama
when he says that the enactment of a
MODEL and modern game law for the
state Of Florida is absolutely impera-
tive in order to save many of the most
valuable species of birds and game of
the state from certain depletion and
threatened extinction.
Tine question of the protection of the
birds and game in Florida is not a
LEGAL one, but is nation in its scope.
Birds know no state lines. and, while
practically all the states lying to the
ncrth Of Florida protect migratory
birds and water fowl, yet these are
recklessly slaughtered here to such an
extent as to be appalling to all sports
men and bird-lovers anywhere and
everywhere.
Birds and game are not the property
of the people Of any particular section
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1912-07-18

but belong to the race. They are ours
to use and in doing So to take no more
than our needs require in order that
future generations may have trans
mitted to them the same blessings we
are permitted to enjoy, as their right
ful heritage and legitimate benefac-
ton.
Commissioner Wallace suggests that
Florida adopt similar game law to
that in force in other states, which is
as follows:
THE creation Of department of
game and fish presided over by a state
game and fish commissioner. A game
and fish warden for every county, to
be appointed by the state game and
fish commissioner, and subject to re-
moVal for cause or performance
of duty, by the commissioner appoint
ing said warden.
"A hunters license tax as follows.
on-resident, $500; those who hunt
outside of the voting beat or precinct
of residence and on lands other than
they own or rent, $1.00; those who
hunt outside of the county of residence
and hunt on lands other than they
own or rent, $500; the said money to
be converted into game and fish pro-
lection fund to be used for defraying
the expenses incident to enforcing the
provisions of the game and fish laws.
"A closed season on all game birds
and animals. The killing Of wild tur-
key hens and doe '(female DEER should
at all times be prohibited.
lit should be unlawful to use any
pit-fan. dead fall, scaffold, cage, snare,
trap net, salt-lick. baited hook or
baited field or any other similar device
or any drug, poisonous chemical or
EXPLOSIVE for the purpose of inJur1ng,
capturing or killing any protected bird
or animal.
"A reasonable bag limit for each
day and season should be prescribed.
The sale of game should be prohibited
The shipping or carrying of game, eX-
cept openly and in the possession OF
those who have hunters licenses as
required by law, should be prohibited
Judges charging grand jluies should
be required to give especially IN charge
the provisions of the game and fish
laws, and urge diligent inquiry into
infractions thereof"
Under the scheme above outlined
the burden of supporting the depart
ment Of game and fish will fall exclu-
sively upon the hunters, and if the
Florida sportsmen are like their broth
ers in other portions of the nation
they will gladly contribute toward the
maintenance of a system that will II
reality and not in name merely pro,
! tect the wild life of their state.

Only Looking On
From Afar.

Thirty five hundred dollars for eleven
acres of Irish potatoes is the net earn
ings of Mr.. Jage Rogero. one of st.
Johns progressive farmers. The first
acre that Mr.. Rogero dug measured
seventy three barrels, and the remain
ing ten acres averaged sixty three bar
refs per acre. Six dollars and seventy
FIVE cents per barrel for firsts and four
dollars for seconds was what Mr.. Ro-
zero received for his potatoes. Mr..
Rogero's farm is made up of what is
known as fiat pinewoods land.-St. Au-
gustine Meteor.
No comment is necessary in refer
ence to the above, nor is it necessary
to say that there are hundreds Of
thousands of acres Of lands in West
Florida which will produce as fine
crops Of Irish potatoes as may be
grown in st. Johns county. The only
reason The Journal can give that the
lands are not in cultivation is that the
farmers of other states do not realize
what awaits them here.
There is always a ready market for
Irish potatoes, but when the Florida
potatoes are ready for the market they
command better prices than the crops
Of other states because they come in
earlier and the people are willing to
pay better prices for the fresh goods.
The whole United States welcomes
Florida potatoes and the supply has
never been one-twentieth enough to
supply the demand
Washington telegraphic dispatches
of last week reveal the informal ton
that during the last eight months the
duty on Irish potatoes shipped into
this country amounted to three million
dollars. This does not mean the value
Of the potatoes-three million dollars
for the duty alone.
Are not such figures enough to en-
courage the back to the farm" move
ment? Where is there a business man
in the city whose net earnings is more
than three thousand dollars with such
small amount of money invested?
But the potato crop is not all that
may be grown on the same land dur
ing one year. and the small potatoes
not suitable for the market are suff1-
cient to fatten numbers of hogs for
the market. Let your boy investigate
the prospects of Florida farming be-
fore you start him in another kind OF
business.

DEFINITION OF A SOCIALIST.

Who is a Socialist? It is man
Who strives to formulate aid a
To better earths conditions It is he
Who, having to hear and eyes to see
Is neither deaf nor blind when might roughshod,
Treads down the privileges and right which God
Means for all men, the privilege to toll:
To breathe air; to till soil
The right to live. to love, WOO,
And earn for hungry mouths their need of bread
The Socialist is he who claims no more
Than his own share from generous natures store
But that he asks, and asks. too that no other
Shall claim the share of any weaker brother,
And brand him beggar in his own domain
To glut mad, inordinate lust gain.
The Socialist is who holds the best
OF all Gods gifts is toll, the second rest
He asks that all men learn the sweets of labor
And that idler fatten his neighhor
That all be allowed their share OF leisure
Nor thousands slave that may seek pleasure,
Who the Golden Rule shall dare insist
Behold in him the modern Socialist.

The man who is

A Cure For Tuberculosis?

CONSERVATIVES ARE hopeful class of in
valids, and no doubt they will be thrilled with the
promise for them held out by the research workers
at Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore. And If,
as is stated rabbits inoculated with tuberculosis
have been cured by an ant-toxin there discovered,
there is good ground for hoping that the dread white
plague has at last met in science foe which will
irout it from its field of death and misery.
Hope for consumptivesl A cure for tuberculo-
fssl 1t is the thing which medicine has long sought
In van and which it were the grossest cruelty to
announce without the best Of reasons. For to an
snounce cure, and then fail of producing it, would
diff thousands of unfortunaes to the heaven of bliss
only to cast them down again to the hell of despair
1t is to be noted that the doctors have not an
nounced cure But it is stated on what seems to
be good authority that of the various anttoxins
against tuberculosis which are being experimental
with at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere has shown
wonderfully hopeful results in the treatment of in
fected rabbits. One rabbit was inoculated six
months ago. and then given the anti-toxin Then
1T died, and the doctors thought they had failed
kagain. But post-mortem showed no tuberculosis.
The animal had evidently been cured and then died
! of other causes.
Other rabbits were inoculated with enough
germs to kill them if untreated in few days They
were given the ant-toxin, and are all in excellent
condition.
Evidently the anti-toxin has killed the tubercles
Let us hope that this promise will come to full
hution, and the greatest plague of modern times be
eradcated. 1t would be the greatest of all the tr
umphs of medical Science It would lift burden of
dread from the souls of millions

THE OOBTOWN ROUND TABLE

After the morning sun had
warmed the wooden bench Of the
Cobtown saddler, and after the
good wives were ensconced at
home with the tasks of carpet
beating, turnip digging, house
cleaning, ironing and cooking din
ner, the seven elders seated them
selves in the place of high coun-
ell. Uncle Hank Summers began
the deliberations in q high, flute
like voice.
"Dy heck. I'll tell you what,
gentlemen. That ERE Panama
