HASKELL LOSES
FIRST ROUND
100000 Of Half Mlllion-Dollar Suit
Against Hearst Gone-Insuf-
ficient Facts.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 15.-Former Gov
ernor Charles N Haskell Saturday in
federal court in Omaha lost 100000
of his half million dollar slander and
libel suit against William Randolph
Hearst of the Hearst newspapers.
Judge Munger sustained Hearst's de-
murrer to Haskell's first cause of ac-
ton, which was for 81 900, 900 and was
based on a speech delivered by Mr..
Hearst at Memphis on September 19,
1908, during the heat of the campaign
for the presidency. There yet remains
four counts of 100000 each for SLAM
der in speech at Columbus, Ohio, and
for three newspaper articles printed
in the Hearst papers.
The demurrer was taken on the
ground that the court did not allege
facts sufficient to constitute a cause of
action, the remarks charged to Mr..
Hearst not being slanderous even if
made as cl Urged.
III duultl9n W SllC ASl1uA
rer Judge Munger also sustained
Hearst's motion to require Haskell to
amend his petition for damages by set
ting out the individual names of the
newspapers in which the alleged libel
GUS articles were published. This
amended petition will be filed at once
by Haskell's attorneys. The amended
answer will follow and hearing on
the merits of the case will be held
within sixty days.
The Haskell suits were brought in
Omaha for the reason that this was
the first place west of the Mississippi
in which service upon Mr.. Hearst could
be secured. Petitions were sent to
several cities and deputies laid in wait
for Hearst, who was on the Pacific
coast at the time. In passing through
Omaha deputies broke down the door
to Mr.. Hearst's stateroom and served
notice upon him.
Governor Haskells attorneys, an
Omaha firm, state it is the intention
of Haskell to continue pushing the
cases, now that technicalties have been
brushed aside

Protect our Bird Friends.

Editor Chieftain: History tells us
that in every great emergency some
one comes to the front equal to the
occasion. Some times when people
are to b.ame for crisis that overtakes
them, an overruling providence seems
a little slow in coming to their relief.
The average American has wilfully,
woefully and wantonly slaughtered
the birds until many varieties have
become extinct. While the vanity and
fashions of women have utilized the
remainder of the feathery tribes on
bonnets, hats and dress until nature
has become poverty stricken, and the
bugs, insects and worms have become
a menace to human and animal life
Far-seeing men warned the generations
of the results of such course with
about the same effect as Noah warned
the ante-deluvians. And now the face
of the earth is being over run with
worms, bugs and poisonous insects.
Possibly in the course of time, after
long sought and expensive experiment.
ing there may be found methods of
successfully combating these hords
and mics OF destroyers. The chintz
bug, the green-bug, the army-worm, the
boil wevil, the corn-worm, the apple
maggot, the caterpillar, the potato
haatle the San lose scale and hun
dreds of other pests and enemies are
preying upon all farm products and
seriously threatening TO bring famine
and death. The national and state
governments are becoming alarmed
and are appropriating millions of dol
lars seeking ways whereby these en-
emies can be wiped out
Every agricultural department in
every Gixilized nation has scientific
men working on this problem
The most stringent laws should be
speedily enacted protecting all the
birds of the nation.
Every boy should be taught from the
first day he enters the school room that
self-preservation demands that he
should never harm bird or rob its
nest. The means and methods being
used by science to restore the natural
and normal conditions are extremely
interesting and will be given later.

NOT AUTHORIZED TO
DRAW COUNTY WARRANTS

Oklahoma City, Jan. 13-That the
county superintendent is not author
ized to draw warrants upon the county
treasurer, as formerly, is held in an
opinion of the attorney general, issued
yesterday. The holding is that, since
the enactment Oh the session laws Of
1911, only the school district board
may draw warrants upon the county
treasurer and the county clerk draw
warrants for county expenses. The
opinion was given to Jay G. Cliff. coun-
ty attorney o. Jefferson county.
In an opinion to the city attorney of
Mangum the attorney general holds
that cities of the first class can not
collect an occupation tax against steam
laundries, as they are not included in
the classes of business mentioned in
the statute which may be made sub
iect to occupation taxes.

tunate position of man who has done
a hard job we'll.
The speakership of the house OF
representatives Is the most important
position in our public life next to the
presidency. Mr. Clark, therefore, comes
into direct and natural contrast with
Mr.. Taft. Both have absolute standing
among the people of America for hon
est intent in what they are doing. Taft
has succeeded In making a series OF
blunders in handling men and in pass
ing on affairs. Clark has worked along
broad lines and has made a brilliant
success of the big work he has had
to do
Since Clark was elected speaker, be
has been mentioned for the presi-
dency. No public man could fail to be
fiattered by the prospect of the Demo
cratic nomination. The speaker has
subordinated his personality and what
ambitions he may have to the good Of
his party. He has sought harmony In
the house of representatives, harmony
among the leaders of the party in the
country. He has steered the cause of
his party 80 as to render good serv-
ice to the country, and has sought to
make ii sure that some Democrat will
win rather than to insure the nomina-
tion for himself.
1t requires big man and a strong
one to hold true to a position like this.
The speakership offers a thousand
chances for advertisement and for
political advancement If its holders
will but use it. Mr. Clark has kept
himself in hand His only important
public deliverance was his defense of
the Democratic majority In the house
against Mr. Taft's charge that the
Democrats were playing politics. Mr.
Clark carried off the honors in this de-
bate
The qualities of tried experience. OF
personal eligibility, Of conservatism
combined with honesty, will count In

FLAMES THAT ARE NURsED.
Slams Sacred Fire and ths Fires of
 yerusancs of Sicily.

History records many strange exam pIes of fires that are kept burning for long periods of time. The best known examples are those of pagan people who keep up perpetual 1res as a re- llgious custom,
 The oldest known fire in the world Is that in a Buddhist temple near Bangkok, Siam. which has been burn ing without interruption for two cen. turies. A priest Is always on guard to watch the sacred flame. Every four years a new flame Is kindled. but this Is always lighted In the great brazier from a brand of the old fire.
 The life of a grand vizier in Persia was once saved by a Parsee trader. who discovered and exposed a plot to kill the royal official In spite of the fact that the Perslans are Mohammed- ans and hold fre worshipers in con. tempt, single flame has been kept burning continuously for seventy years at Sarhad In honor of the humble trader.
 In inhabited lands within the arctic circle fires have been known to burn for years This. however. is not so much a custom as it is a simple prae- tee based on reasons Of convenience and necessity because of the scarcity of wood or kindIing of any kind to produce ignition. oil Is the fuel of the people of the snows.
 In Sicily it has long been the custom of the vendetta to maintain the fire of vengeance until ones enemy has been slaln. The criminal records of that fiery island are full of instances of fires that were kept up for years until death overlook the unfortunate victim whose life had been marked for destructfbn.--New York Times.
