The Bird Feather Amendment.

one at least of the changes i'm the
tariff bill made by the Senate commit
tee and now before the Senate for action
calls for a more adequate explanation
than has yet been given TO satisfy the
public Of its rcascnabieness. That is the
change which will permit the importa-
ton into the United States OF the feath-
ers OF wild birds. Against such impor-
tation has been raised the protest of
ali believers In conservation OF bird life,
doubt that under the Senate commit
tees amendment the traffic in wild bird
feathers vii lie not only permitted but
distinctly encouraged, with the result
Of the early extinction of many OF the
most beautiful and interesting species
Of birds. By prohibiting the importa-
ton Of certain bird feathers much ex-

The safe arrival of Special Representa-
tive Lind at Mexico City unduestionably
relieves public anxiety to considerable
extent, inasmuch as the danger of an out
break or demonstration against him on
the part of the populace was recognized
as a serious element of risk in his pres
ence in Mexico. Yet II does not follow
that all is smooth sailing henceforth.
The President has undertaken to ascer-
tain conditions in Mexico through the
appointment Of this unofficial, or rather
extra ofi1cial. deputy, possibly to gain
time and prevent the necessity OF inter-
vention pending such developments as the
collapse of the unrecognized Huerta
regime. If Huerta falls and is succeeded
by one Of the present contenders for fed
eral supremacy the case will be unques-
tionab bly, much more likely TO resolve into
peaceful terms, provided this successor
gains general recognition from the Mexi-
can people. Herein, however, lies the
danger of the future-that a change of
conditions through the collapse of Huerta
will not provide the basis of stable gov
eminent. Nevertheless, while the policy
of the United States is to abstain
as long as possible from actual interven
ton II is probably the best conceivable
course TO wait until an unavoidable cause
OF war is offered through the actions of
the Mexican people themselves. That
Mr.. Lind's mission will not succeed seems
10 be generally believed, and Yet 1t will
not have been wholly fruitless If 1t meets
the purpose Of marking time pending
Mexican changes which in themselves
afford even a temporary basis OF peace.
II is reported from Mexico City that
Huerta's government is now on the verge
OF collapse through lack Of funds and the
| steady shrinking oS the territory con-
trolled by him and the development in
the capital itself of feeling OF hostility.
1t is also reported that he recognizes that
possibly his only means of salvation is to
unite the Mexican people through an ap-
peal TO patriotism to resist foreign
enemy. and that he would not be averse
| to American intervention inasmuch as 1t
might accomplish this result and at the
same time possibly lead to European in
reference in his behalf OF course, this
is futile concept, but nevertheless 1t
| is possible Of entertainment by the Next
can official mind. II this idea prevails at
Mexico City the very presence of the I'M
official emissary of peace may become a
source OF danger.

Mr.. Kern and the Navy,

Senator Kern explains. He did not in
tend 10 sffront the naval service III his
remarks about 'perfumed officers. His
observations were misunderstood and mis-
applied. He admires our naval officers.
He does not consider them snobs.
1t is always, embarrassing for poll
tician to have to explain, but when an
explanation becomes necessary it should
be made; and the sooner and franker
the better. Mr.. Kern has taken the
proper course.
The Importance of the explanation is
best appreciated by considering MIR. Kern 5
position. He is not only a senator, but
an officer of his party's organization in
the Senate. When he speaks in his place
his remarks therefore have a double
weight. His party shares both in his sue
cesses and in his breaks.
1t would have shared in this break If
the Hoosier senator had not explained.
And it would have been no small thing
with an anront to the navy. It admires
the navy. We all do. Admiration of
both the navy and the army is shared by
everybody familiar with the two services.
Annapolis and West Point have never
pIOuOCeu dIQ ~ IiOI NOW pipouSC. oiloOS.
Young men at both places are trained for
command; and that does not comprehend
or tolerate snobbery. No successful COM
mander, high or low, was ever a snob.
Such training produces more sternness
and severity in some men than in others
1t depends upon the mans nature-but it
converts no man into a snob.
Mr.. Kern did not improve the occasion
to explain or apologize for his fling at
the newspapers, but there was no urgency
In that matter. He had not injured them
Besides, they are constantly on deck, and
can 'sit up with him. They will con-

the freedom they think necessary the
remarks of public men," and comment
on them.
The Hoosier senator. more to his own
injury than to that Of others. is alto
gether too prone to employ his phrase,
to choier. He is apt to go off upon too
little. If any, information. He was rival
of Mr.. Shively for the senatorship the lat
ter secured, and after his defeat he
charged that improper means had been
employed in the election. But, though
urged to do so, he did not press the
point.
Mr.. Kern is new in his Office, but will
improve in it, and soon learn the value
of moderation in both judgment and ex-
preston.
