A Plea for the Aliens.

To the Editor Of The Times-Dispatch
Sir-"O Judgment. thou ar: fed to
british beasts. and men have lost their
reason" This has been said Of the
people who signed the Allen petition
for DR.. Mcdaniel to stay the execution
for lie imprisonment We are com
ynanded to love our enemies and do
good to those who desp;tefully use us.
7 think II is Burns who said: Man :
irhumanity to man makes countless
thousands mourn The game clerk
had two or thre. pistols on him: the
sheriff, the attorney and Jury were all
armed. but no one DID any shooting but
the Aliens. I think I have seen IN
The Times Dis patch where forty-efght
shots were fred. Did the Aliens do Il
all? I think that the majority OF the
people think that the first jury who
tried Floyd Allen did not do its duty
have been taught from my earliest
infancy that law was made to elevate
people, and not to degrade them Why
did not that frs: jury fine Floyd Allen
for his oYsnse $500? No: he must go
to the penitentiary- No one thinks the
fudge was killed intentionally by the
Aliens. Cranmer, who was tied TO the
stake and burnt. said as the fire was
creeping upon him. that his night hand
which signed a lie should be the first

who are seeking and c!amor!ng FOR the

Borne Out by Figures

When the Daily Press, the Richmond
Times-DIspatch and one or two other
State newspapers remarked after the
election on November that the vote
on the amendments to the state Con-
sti:ution relating 20 changes In the
forms OF municipal government, 10 city
.r.asurers and city commissioners OF
the revenue succeeding themselves
was not a true expression OF the voters
OF Virginia, the esteemed Richmond
Virvinian was persuaded TO laughter

Of those newspapers. The V!rgtnian

ence IL tried TO show that IL was mere

Mr.. Leon.das Iangworthy. the
prominent and efficient disciple or
Thomas Edison. who lies near Hick-
eyville, has invented a scheme which
will save him lot OF worry and
work BY the way. work Is one OF
the best things that Mr.. LanEworthy
saves. He has invented a contraption
which he bitches TO the hind leg OF
his mule when the latter Is looking
out the window and admitting the
scenery and is not taking more than a
cursory interest In what is going on
about his own person. This state OF
mind does not happen often to Mr..
Langworth's mule or In fact any other
mule, and Mr.. Langworthy Is obliged
to wait sometimes several days be-
fore he can hook the coltraptiOn to
the mules hind leg. This is one OF
the chief drawbacks of the invention.
Having fastened the invention to the
mules hind leg, Mr.. Langworthy sits
afar off and tickles the mule with a
feather. which is attached to a long
hshpole. A mule has no sense OF
humor TO speak of and Mr.. Lang
worthy. being a keen faunal matura-
list realized this. When he tickles
the mule the latter does not laugh or
smile. He kicks and the more Mr..
Laneworthy tickles him the more he
kicks He can kick for several hours
without stopping and all the time the
inven tiOn. which is fastened to his hind
leg. is working the farm machinery
Mr.. Langworthy works all of his farm
machinery in this manner and has cleo
trio or water power beaten to q

GAME PROTECTION PAYS.

Is State protection OF game and FISH
worth while? The experience Of Ala
bama answers the question. That the
operation OF her game and fish laws
has been successful Is shown by the
fact that on October I. 1912. the bal
ance 10 the credit Of the game and fish
protection FUND was s2s.1os.s6, a clear
Profit to the State. The department
was organized without the aid of any
appropriation, and became self-sustain-
ing after the FIRST year Of its existence.
The money was earned through hunt
ing and fishing licenses. Tho people
are thoroughly satisfied with the sys-
tenn Tho game and fish wardens are
competent men Fish and game are
protected; the po.hunter Is put out OF
business There is no interference
with individual liberty, but the natural
resources Of The State in bird and FISH
life are SO protected that they have
increased and multiplied. and yet salts
fed all the needs OF the hunting popu-
Istion. The General Assembly OK Viz
ginia was asked this last winter TO
enact for Virginia a Law similar TO
tha; OF Alabama and Informed that
the department would become se.f-sup-
porting. but legislators who were as
careful Of the po,hunters' unlawful
privileges as they were disresaTdtul
Of the peoples interests sunocated the
proposed law.
