The Game Law.
(To be continued. }

Editor Message: Thought l
would write few lines in regard
to the game law. ! think we have
just as much right to kill quails
and prairie chickens and any
other kind Of game as we have to
kill our hogs that we raise ON our
farms. We farmers are the ones
that raise the crops, and we raise
the quails and prairie chickens,
and why haven't we the right to
kill them when we want to? OF
course there is a certain time
that they should not be killed,
that is true. I don't think but
what everybody knows that. If
things keep on going in the future
like they have in the past it won t
be long till we will have some
game warden or some other kind
of warden TO dictate just how we
shall plant our crop and what
kind Of crop we shall plant.
Now, Mr. Editor, I say, do away
with the game warden and take
that money which they get for
their time, which is $4,000, if I
understand it, and put it to a bet
ter use, and that is to give it to
the State for road purposes, and
let the farmers kill game the same
as they did years ago without
taking out license to hunt on a
neighbours farm.

He led the way up the ladder, fol.

brought up the rear. The children ran
the long length Of the porch leaving
their footprints on the fresh, sticky
paint
"Will It wash Off" asked Frances,
looking gloomily down at Ler feet,
which seemed 10 be encased IN green
. moccasins.
At that moment she slipped and fell
sprawling on top OF the roof. When
the others helped her to her feet,
she was q sight TO behold, her white
dress splotched with vivid green from
top to bottom.
"If that aint JUS like you, Fran.

KEEP FAITH IN HUMAN NATURE
NEVER MIND THE BLOW SAYS TAFT

CHICAGO, Mar. 9.-President Taft
arrived in Chicago today and was
escorted to the Congress hotel by big
delegation. Tonight will make most i'm
portant of his speeches at banquet
of the Swedish-American club. He is
expected to reply to Roosevelt's Col
umbus speech.
The program today includes five re-
ceptions, eight speeches, luncheon,
the banquet, and a series of confer
ences with politicians.
Taft today addressed the students
OF Armour institution. There will
be no reception to the President by
the Illinois Taft club but there will
be one in his honor at luncheon at the
Union League club. This will be fol-
low ed by another reception this after
noon.
Addressing the Armour college stu
dents, President Taft declared himself
a progressive along lines that are pro-
vided by the constitution and defend
ed his policies vigorously
Il don't want to adopt things merely
because they are new" he said.
Il want to know they are good
first. The experience of $50 years I'M
der the constitution proves that our
popular government is the best we can
have"
Equality of opportunity is more
nearly perfect here than in any other
country in the world. The reason that
this government has stood SO long is
because we have a people who know
the advantage of self restraint and
who have provided against action by
themselves under momentary i'm
pulses"
do not be discouraged because you
get jolts which make you think hd-
man nature is about as bad as it
could be-" he added.

We ALL LOVE
GOOD MUSIC

1t has often been remarked, and
justly so, that for a small western
town, Moscow has an uncommonly
high average of musical intelligence
and appreciation. Doubtless we owe
what love we have for good music
and what ability we have to Judge
musical performances to the patient
and laborious efforts of our music de-
partment at the university. If we
prefer to hear music of the first quail
ity and to hear it produced in a cred
table manner, it is because the music
department, in spite of many hand
leaps and discouragements, is con-
tinaally pressing on in an endeavOr
to raise the standard of musical
in our music as we do in our apples,
and we ought to cherish and cultivate
the arts as eagerly and sincerely as
we do our wheat fields and our stump
lands. We ought to express that pride
and interest by supporting the efforts
of the music department when it gives
a public performance.
On Thursday evening, March IA, the
university orchestra, skillfully direct
ed by that genuine artist, E. Heller
Collens, will give a concert at st.
Marks Guild hall. The orchestra is
composed of seventeen pieces. 1t is
gram OF great excellence and variety.
Every music lover in Moscow should
take advantage of this unusual oppor
tnnity. Let us be worthy of having
such an organization in our town.
