Protecting Birds of Passage.

All except the most sordid and selfish pot-hunters

for the protection Of valuable migratory birds from

Judgment enough to realize the folly Of killing a
goose that lays golden eggs.
In recent years the most valuable Of our wild
food birds both upland and aquatic, have been grow
ing scarce at an omnors rate. OF course, the in

area Of wild land have had something to do with
this but it has been due still more to reckless
slaughter The inevitable result unless strong action
were taken has been foreshadowed in the fate Of the
passenger pigeons Men now living remember see

The Record Does Not Justify the
McRevnolds- Caminetti Whitewash.

The facts brought to light in exDistrict Attorne!
McNab's dispatch to The New York Times make
the excuses given by Attorney General McReynoids
for his conduct In the California white slave cases
seem more fimsy and dsingenuous than ever MI
McReyncldS when his plan TO postpone those cases
as q personal accommodation to the Commissioner
General of immigration, Mr.. Camnetti. was frus
trated by Mr. McNab's teegraphing his resignation
and giving the reasons therefor, accused McNab
Of "disloyalty" and said that the latter ought to
have demonstrated with him privately and conf
dentialv instead of rudey barring the facts to the
public gaze.
But what reason had Mr.. McNab to think that
another private protest would be effective? Ac
cording to the record, he warned the Attorney Gen
eral on May q and on May Is of the probability
that postponement would cause a grave political
scandal and he informed the department on June 8
of the elder Caminetts attempts to interfere with
the prosecution of the white slave cases. Mr.
McReynolds had telegraphed him on May % TO 60
ahead knowing to a certainty that Camnet1 was
still working to tie his hands, why should he have
felt it his duty to go making private remon
strances after the abrupt postponement order of
June IS arrived?
In his statement to the President Mr. McReynolds
tried to make it appear that he had lost track OF
the cases and was left without knowledge OF the
dangerous situation in California. That after
thought cannot be recOnciled witt the record or
Mr. McNab's protests. The latter served the ad
mnistration inteligently and Loyalty and was then
rebuked by the President in order to save the faces
Of two high functionares at Washington who had
fagrantly misused their official power Congress
should take the lid off this scandal and try to ap
portion the blame for it more equtably than Mr.
Wilson did when he sacrificed McNab and white
washed McReynolds and Caminetti.

Another Upward Looking" Clew.

II is hardly surprising news that clew leading

trucks have been turned into cash.
The extent Of these truck robberies has long been
matter of amazed comment. Five million dollars
annually Is the amount so disappearing The whole
enterprise has more the look of an organized busi-
ness than any haphazard thievery Of the under
world.
Now. through the arrest of an East Side Fagn'
Mr. Whitman has apparently found clews leading

From present indications the results will prove that
here, as in every branch of large crime, the under

Larger Railroad Arbitration Boards.

The Senate has done a very sensible thing IN
passing Mr. Newlandss bill increasing the size Of
the boards Of arbitration designated TO settle rail-
road labor disputes. The Erdman act has been Of
the greatest public service offering the means Of
pacific and rational settlement of differences be-
tween the railroads and their employees. 1t has
saved the public many times from the inconven-
fences dangers and hardshps of the Old-fashioned
railroad strike.
Experience has shown, however that the number
Of arbtrators authorized by the law is too small.
The railroads name one arbitrator, the employees an
other and they two select third This procedure
puts the decision Of the questions involved prac-
tically in the third mans hands. The public is
pretty nearly as much interested in these railroad
arbitratons as either the railroads the railroad
mems organizations Eventually it must pay the
costs Of the adjustment reached. 1t is only proper,
therefore that the public should be represented on
the arbitration board and that the government,
which has undertaken to regulate railroad rates.
should also be more directly represented.
A board Of six members, as provided for in the
Senate's bill, would be likely to give a YER
dict farer for all concerned than board Of three
members only Of them in any proper sense an
arbitrator. Under the present system compromise
within narrow limits is about all that be
expected. A larger and more independent board
would be able to go more deeply into the questions
involved and TO reach settlements not merely pal
lative for the moment but really constructive and
lasting.

himself forward as a candidate for the Governor

THE MIoHIC- DEFEAT
Sufragists Renew Their Charge That
Liquor Interests Prevailed.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: AS nearly every suffragist and
anti-suffragist Of note in the country has
had fling at the solution OF the stu
alton in Michigan and the cause OF the
defeat OF the suffrage amendment. per-
haps Michigan sufrragists may make a
statement which will carry weight and
some authority. Michigan state workers
have been busy compiling figures, and.
not wishing 10 be precipitate, havo waited
until they had a state wide compilation
Of returns.
The "antis" claim the liquor people
had nothing 10 do with the defeat Of suf-
frase at the spring election.
Tho suffragsts claim, and with mighty
good proof, that tho liquor forces" were
the greatest factor in the defeat
The sufTragists Of Michigan, or any
state. have never made the question a
wet" and dry" issue. and as yet the
fundamental principal is not wet or
dry" or any political faith or creed, yet
the "wets" have made suffrage an issue,
and We the workers OF Michigan, know
that no one factor alone could have de-
feated us except the liquor forces
The facts are Every wet" newspaper
in the state opposed equal suffrage. every
wet" politician opposed equal suffrage.
every saloon and liquor dealers organi-
zation opposed equal suffrage and every
brewer and liquor dealer In the state op-
posed equal suffrage.
The fly sat on the chariot wheel and
said. "Oh. what a dust do raise" which
might quite apply to the handful of men
and women who compose the Michigan
Society Opposed to Woman Suffrage in
their faith that their work defeated suf-
frage I'm Michigan The few "antis," the
men and women of the so-called upper
class" did not get out in a body and
work as one man.
II was not the "miltancy In England" :;
II was the unfair use made OF II by the
liquor people. The complicated political
situation hurt some and the anti" asso-
citation, composed nearly all OF Detroit
people-there were thnee other societies
over the state--did give a semblance OF
respectabiity to the opposition. but the
three aforesaid factors. or factions, could
not and did not, either alone or combined.
defeat suffrage In Michigan. II Is inds-
putable: there is but one organized op-
position which amounts 10 anything
against suffrage, and that is the liquor
forces.
Quoting from the statement sent out
broadcast by the anti press represent

THE NEW HAVEN WRECKS
A Reader Considers That the Labor
Unions Are Responsible.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Four bad wrecks on the New

find the cause. After careful survey OF
the situation the fact seems 10 he evil

Why should human lives be endangered

monster menacing the country? Where

Mexican Arbitration and Recognition.


1t is a pity TO have the arbitration treaty with
Mexico lapse and remain lapsed indefinitely, but
It is not clear that any other course could properly
be pursued renewal OF the treaty would have to
be negotiated with the Huerta government, and
might be regarded as tantamount to recognition Of
that government de Jure as well as de focto. But
such recognition our government is not yet prepared
to give.
There are, It must be regretfully confessed,
abundant and convincing grounds for Withholding
recognition The Huerta government has not made
good" II marked its accession to power with one
of the most revolving tragedies in all the tragic
history Of Mexico. Vindication could come only
through prompt and general popular acceptance and
restoration Of order But these have not been Sc
