NOT VERY ENCOURAGING.

Michigan equal suffrage workers VIII
md little cause for ENCOURAGEMENT in
the recount Of the votes on the amend
ment already ordered in Saginaw and
Kent counties and petitioned for
in Wayne II there were IRREGULARITIES,
1t seems the perpetrators Of the same
must have been crude indeed, if they
failed to cover up their tracks beyond
the possibility Of detection now. About
as much as the snfrragists can hope
Tor now, is 70 have the issue re-sub-
mitted at the spring election with
the possibility Of more decisive ver-
dict.
Certain unusual features Of the elec.
ton offer food for thought, neyer-the-
less. The increased maJorities asainsl
suffrage in the complete returns. which
turned victory into defeat came
from the four largest counties Of tho
state, where it should have been pos
sible 10 count the votes as quickly, at
least as in the smaller counties. Why
should II require three weeks to OBJ
tam the correct and complete vote Of
q county 50 large as Wayne? And
another feature which attracts atten-
ton is the unusually large vote polled
Tor the amendment, a vote almost
equa!l.ns that registered for the most
hotE contested offices. II there is
foun5atiou for the charge that the
anrt.suffragists gathered up the dis
csrded and unused ballots in the poll
in places and cast them in bulk
against the amendment it should sug-
gest N, need Of having every Of
deal ballot accounted for after the
election. such d provision in the law
would remove IT least some Of the
present grounds for spioion.

Now the Democrats protest that the
placing OF so many fourth class post
masters under CLASSIFIED civil service
regulations was political move. The
same charge was made b. some Re
publicans when President Cleveland
extended the classified civi, service 50
as To govern a large number of gov
eminent employees, but the Republican
party when il came into power, did
rot undo his work in this respect.
President Taft does not now expect
10 be a candidate for reelection four
years hence, but If he should be-. the
retention of present incumbents ia
office would not help him for under
the civil service rules, federal office
holders must refrain from political ac-
tivity. These facts doubtless will be
taken into consideration by reason
able people who endeavor 10 weigh
the merits of the recent civil service
order

PROTECT OUR BIRDS.

Congress is 10 be asked TO make a
new departure and legislate for the
proteStion Of migratory birds. The
cry viii probably be raised that this is
an eucroachment upon the rights of
the states. but if the central govern
ment has the right 10 regulate trade
that flows from one state TO another.
surely it has the same right as 10 the
birds.
Take the case of the robin, for in
stance our commonest bird, outside
Of the sparrow. 1t is one OF the most
valuable Of the insectivorous birds. and
as such it is protected in most Of the
northern states where 1t spends the
greater part Of the year. 1t protects
our gardens and delights us with its
song. and we show our appreciation
Of it by setting out food and water
for il. and it soon becomes quite tame,
In the winter IL goes TO the southern
states, where It is regarded simply ne
something TO eat. and in half dozen
Of these il is legally a game bird, and
is killed by the thousand for the ia
Bile. The tameness induced by it's
good treatment in the north proves
its undoing by making il an easy prey
for the pothunter OF the south
We need our birds 10 protect our
growing crops and thus conserve our
resources and as a matter of
preservation the government
should have authority 10 step in.

1t is thought that Judge Samuel
n. Wheeler of Grand Junction is
about to announce his candidacy for
governor of Colorado. Judge Wheel
er is a splendid man and democrat
and Is said to have the backing of a
large number of counties of that sec
tion of the state. Senator j. J. Tob-
ing of Montrose is also a fine sug-
gestion for the office from the same
quarter of the state Boulder Cam
era.
The next governor of Colorado
ought to be a Western slope man. 1t
Is Westerns Colorado's turn to have
a governor; and If the democrats of
this great section. which is a country
in itself will get together on good
man. there is no reason why they
should not get the nomination for
him. Among those most prominently
mentioned so far is Hon. Samuel n
Wheeler of Grand Junction. Mr.
Wheeler has acquired a reputation
all over the state as an eminent at
