The Wish is
Father to the Thought.

As the time for the Inauguration Of
Mr.. Wilson draws near, the statement
by the reactionaries. who halfway pre-
tend it is authorized, that the next
president will not disturb the trusts
on the ground that this would disturb
business. grows more frequent. His
action before the New Jersey legisla-
ture disproves this. Mr.. Wilson has
prepared and has had introduced
seven bills said to be the most COM
plete and drastic laws against trusts
that have ever been proposed. All OF
them are intended to prevent combi-
nations and to make guilt personal.
These bills represent the advanced
thought Of the American people and
trey may safely be exhibited as an
Idea of what the policy of Mr.. Wilson
will do when he becomes president.
These same reactionary critics Of
Mr.. Wilson ask sarcastically why the
governor of New Jersey waited this
long before trying to force these laws
through. Of course these critics
know that this is the first time Gov
ernor Wilson has had a democratic
legislature and all the time since he
has been governor he has been con-
stantly introducing reforms. many of
which ne carried through.
The reactionary critics may rest as
with the next congress, the trusts OF
The country viii be thoroughly emas-
rulated.

county. It is a poor sportsman who
will saunter forth, gun in hand, blaz-
ing away at every living thing in
sight, just to see if he can hit it, and
regardless Of any use he might have
for the creatures so wastefully de-
stroyed. Quail are among the most
valuable of our native birds, and on
the premises of the Koreshan Unity
at Estero, they are not allowed to
be shot and are becoming so tame in
the park grounds that they can now
be fed at close range.
Florida, and in fact, the entire south,
is no doubt indebted more for this
general awakening to the necessity for
bird preservation. to Mr.. Chas. Willis
Ward of Avery Island, La, than to any
other individual. Mr.. Ward is born
naturalist, and being a man of means,
has had opportunity to follow his nat
ural inclination in the study of birds
and animals. Coming 10 what is now
Lee county, Fla, thirty -four years ago,
he saw our fish, game and birds in
most wonderful profusion, unafraid,
and unmolested by the despoiling hand
of man. After a lapse of nearly two
generations, he has returned, to find
their numbers greatly decimated, and
though these natural resources are still
fairly abundant, he has called attention
to the necessity. and has instituted a
movement for the preservation of the
birds which seems to be meeting with
general favor and which is likely to
accomplish much good. We hope he
will later be able to assist us by sug-
costing ways and means for preserving
our food fish from determination by
the stop-n net fishermen.

President Taft
Travelled Much.

Mr.. Taft has certainly been a trav-
cling president. His total mileage OF
travels during the four years he has
been president amounts to 1859
miles, enough to take him four and
half times around the world. This
does not include the hundreds Of miles
he has Travelled by motor in the vicia-
ity Of Washington and Beverly. IN
GLIDING these and few short trips he
viii take before March 4, Mr.. Taft
viii travel enough in the four years to
circle the globe five times at the
equator.
1t may be well for president to
make one or more tours of the whole
country while in office. but the greater
part of his time should be spent at
Washington attending to the public
business. Too much going and COM
ing raises doubt as to the wisdom of
appropriating $4,000 year for travel
ing expenses.

ASKS WHY DISCRIMINATE
AS TO NATIONALITIES

Editor Pensacola Journal.
1t seems to be customary for our
local papers when making mention OF
persons, to discriminate as to different
nationalities. ] am wondering why 1t
should be the custom, in speaking of
man running a business, we will
say at a certain place in the city, to
allude to him as a Greek merchant,
or Italian fruit dealer, any more than
Il Is to refer to any other citizens as
the German groceryman, or the Irish
storekeeper, etc.
1t is very exceptional in such con-
nection that the nationality Of Ger
mans, Irish, Norwegians. English, and
some others is referred to, but the
Greeks and Italians appear to be sin
gled out from all the rest for this
doubtful honor.

why this is So

Gainesville, Ca, Jan. 2s.-Mrs.
Helen Dortch Longstreet, widow Of
the famous Confederate general, and
postmaster at Gainesville, is threat
ened with removal from office by
President Taft because OF her per
nicious political activity"
Mrs Longstreet received her ap-
pointment under the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, and was an ardent sup
porter of the colonel in his candi-
dacy against President Taft She was
an accredited delegate from Georgia
to the Bull Moose national conven-
ton in Chicago
Mrs Longstreet is one of the most
prominent women in public life in
the south She is not only a past
mistress in the delicate art of poll
tics, but she has long stood for all
policies that represent the upbuild-
ing Of her state and section. She is
president of the Tallulah Falls Con-
servation Association, and has done
more perhaps than any other one per-
son to save that great natural scenic
production from destruction at the
hands of a great commercial organiza-
ton that would convert 1t into power.
Confederate veterans not only of
Georgia, but of the nation are being
appealed to by Camp Longstreet,
United Confederate Veterans, in its
campaign to have Mrs. Longstreet
retained as postmistress at Gaines
vile. Old soldiers everywhere have
been requested to communicate with
President Taft and with their repre-
sentaitves in congress, urging that
the widow of the famous southern
chieftain be allowed to retain her Of
flee. The veterans for the moment
have cast aside all political consider
atoms and are working for Mrs. Long
street from chivalric and sentimental
motives.
Henry S. Jackson of Atlanta, who
speaks by the card for the admins
tration in such matters, is under
stood to be opposed to Mrs. Long
street remaining in charge Of the
Gainesville office, and those who
keep tab on such matters are, there
fore, anticipating a change. James
| r. Gastin, republican, has been
suggested as successor to Mrs
4<OASSdSSI-
The fight against Mrs. Longstreet
was precipitated when Fl. H. Dean, al
dinner to Congressman Richmond
Pierson Hobson. at Gainesville, en-
phatically protested against her re-
appointment to office, declaring she
was not entitled to the position either
from the standpoint Of President Taft
or President elect Wilson. He called
then and there
altogether outsponken in his remarks
His speech caused q general sensation
at Gainesville> The following day
Mrs. Longstreet replied to it bitterly
in placards all over the city. Since
then some very peppery correspond
ence is said to have passed between
the postmistress and Mr.. Dean.
Dean, it viii be recalled. was one
| OF Georgia's delegates-at-larg to the
democratic national convention in
Baltimore, and was Georgia's member
of the platform committee in that
organization.

Another Dream of
Reconciliation.

The number of old-fashioned repub-
Hcans and Roosevelt progressives is so
pitiabay small in Florida. and for that
matter, throughout the South, that the
repeated and so far futile attempts Of
the standpat republicans to conciliate
the Rooseveltians and reorganize their
party on basis Of respectable dimen-
Bions, seem like q foreign imbrogIio,
carrying no more interest to our people
than the Balkan war or the progress
of the young Chinese republic. Yet,
under the circumstances the Roosevelt
vote was phenomenally large and in a
number Of states these efforts to unite
two widely divergent political bodies is
a subject Of vital interest. But to Flo
ridians and to southerners generally it
is only amusing and they only play the
role of innocent bystanders.
The first attempt was made only a
month after the election at a widely
advertised conference of governors.
These dignitaries made a hurried an
nouncement that no steps at union
would be made for year.
The next step was a great banquet
in New York early in January. It was
to be a great demonstration of pro-
gressivism that would bring all the de-
serters back to the grand old party.
But the places Of honor at the table
were filed by such men as John D.
Archbold. Elihu Root, Crane, Guggea-
helm. Penrose, Barnes. Depew and ].
p. Morgan and all the speakers lauded
the first Chicago convention. OF course
all this fell fat
Then Mr.. Munsey came forward
with his plan for holding company
that would obliterate both parties
Neither the republicans nor the pro-
gressives had word of endorsement.
The latest plan is to unite under the
leadership OF Senator Borah, Of Idaho
Senator Borah is strong man and
although he did not sever his connec-
ton with the old republican organize
tion. he has little in common with the
principles OF the party and has been
steadfastly voting against the repub-
licans in the senate on all large ques-
tions on which senators are divided on
party lines.

On the first page of this issue we
are reprinting a strong plea for the
preservation Of the birds which was
published in a recent issue of The Pen
sacola Journal, and which plainly
shows the conservation idea to be
not a mere matter Of sentiment, but
an intensely practical matter withal,
in the preservation Of our agricultural
interests from determination through
the depredations of numerous insect
pests.
The Eagle, being a bird. is of course.
naturally interested in the subject of
bird preservation. That is to say, we
believe in the preservation Of song
birds and Of all Of our feathered
friends which perform useful service
to man in the destruction Of insect
pests and weed seeds. There are, how
ever, some birds at which, we draw
the line, such as the common pelicans,
for instance, which serve no known
useful purpose. but which fly by the
thousands over the waters Of our bays
and tributaries. destroying countless
thousands Of our valuable food fish.
Then there is the filthy turkey buzzard,
whose usefulness as a scavenger is
very questionable, and whose vast
numbers are out of all proportion to
the amount Of scavenging required in
this sparsely settled country.
Last, but not least, and bird which
is really pest, is the English spar
row. Not only is he one of the most
quarrelsome birds known, driving out
the finer varieties of song birds, but
he is a vora cious feeder and a de-
spoiler of fruit and garden truck, feed
ing on the very fat of the land, and
for which he gives no return. In short.
he is an insolent pirate, chattering
and screeching while he perpetrates
his acts of vandalism, and littering the
sidewalks with the rubbish from his
nests which he builds in doorways,
signs and cornices. For many years
after coming to Lee county, we neither
saw nor heard an English sparrow, but
now they are not an unusual sight
on the streets Of our county seat,
brought there presumably in grain
cars from the north. II our more val
liable small birds are to be preserved,
war to the death should be proclaiRed
en- the English sparrow before he gets
a foothold here, as he ls their avowed
enemy.
With the exception Of a few such
worthless and destructive creatures,
we should like to see a tendency
toward conservation Of bird life in Lee

Former United States Treasurer
Nebeker is dead. While in office he
had an experience that never happened
to any other treasurer OF this country.
He was arrested and held a prisoner
by his own guards. A rumor arose
that the treasury vaults were unsafe
and Mr.. Nebeker made a round OF
personal inspection. Two guards who
had never seen him caught him near
the vaults and arrested him. They
only laughed when he told them he
was the treasurer. It was late in the
afternoon and all the officials who
knew the treasurer had left the build
ing and it was several hours before
the treasurer was released. Mr.. Ne
beker afterwards publicly praised the
watchmen for their vigilance.
