BABIES AND BIRDS.

II HE Rev. Charles Parker Con.
Il molly says that oysters and
shrimps receive more protection in
the laws of some states than chill
dren received.
In the tidewater states. the laws
are specific as to the size of clans
and oysters and shrimps and Holsters
that may be caught, but in many of
these states the owners of cotton
mills are given a free hand to snare
and entrap little children.
The hunting of wild birds has been
pursued SO relentlessly that many
species are in danger Of becoming ex-
tinct.
Bird reservations have been Great
ed, where hunting of birds is abso-
lutely prohibited.
On these reservations the mother
bird may hatch and rear. her young
without molestation.
It may yet be necessary for the
federal government to establish reser-
vations in which it will be unlawful
for cotton mill owners and other
prominent citizens TO go pot hunting
for babies.
The reservations idea is all right.
BY simply enlarging the reservation,
every, baby could get as good a
chance, at least, as bird.

WORK OF CHURCHES
AND SOCIAL SERVICE
BY THE REV. CHAS. STELLE.

BY THE REV. CHAS. STELLE.
At a conference Of social workers
recently held in New York, the
church was sneeringly alluded to by
the chief speaker, when he mentioned
! a certain piece of social work done
by the church. He remarked that lit
was we'll done, in spite of the fact
that the church had done the job"
Which comment was literally ap-
plauded by his audience.
It was interesting to note that the
speaker had received his original in
spiration as social worker in the
church. that most Of his listeners were
church members. and that the organ
ization, which had made the very
occasion at which he spoke possible,
WAS heavily endowed by well-known
Presbyterian elder.
A somewhat extensive, and, in
measure. q rather critical study Of
the methods and the spirit Of Chris
tan workers among the so-called
masses, has led mo to the conclu-
sion that more effective work is be-
ing done today in behalf of the multi
tude by the men and women in the
churches who have not been "scien-
tif1cally trained" than is the case
with reference to sociological teach
ing, but who have never had a. real
love for their fellows. Scientific
training plus human love is the ideal
equipment for the social worker. But
the latter is more important than the
former.
All this is said with full apprecia-
ton of the splendid work being done
by trained students and teachers Of
sociology, but these should not spoil
the fruits Of their labors by sneering-
ly referring to the workers in the
church, who for many years have
been giving hearts and lives to the
task of bringing sunshine into dark
ened lives. The study of sociology is
important.
Modern social service cannot be
made truly effective without such
training. But the church possesses
the spirit and teaches the principles
which are fundamental in such study
and service. Many of her children
have been doing scientific social work
without knowing it, and without be-
ing at all familiar with the vocabu-
larry of the scientifically" trained
sociologist.

hard coal field and kill competition.
They are what give it the monopoly.
With those contracts annulled and
the government forcing the roads to
furnish cars for and haul tho inde-
pendent mines product the monopoly
is broken and competition given a
chance.
Those contracts are made with tho
independent mines. That is the very
argument advanced by the roads for
their continuance, That was the very
argument used by the court in de-
claring them without the pale of the
law. The provide that the roads may
buy the independent mine output at
IS per cent Of the seaboard price.
They prevent the Independents from
entering the market as competitors
of the trust. They give the trust a.
profit Of IS per cent on the inde-
pendents' coal, less than carrying and
sales charges.
Now the roads ask the court to
reverse itself. to declare those con-
tracts valid just because they arc
made with independent producers.
The nerve of it!

COMMENT

A FEW days ago the newspapers
"A announced that a New York
banker had offered DR.. friedman a
million dollars for his cure, If such
it should prove to be on investigation.
The latest announcements are to
the effect that DR.. friedman has
started for this country to accept this
offer. II this is true, it seems to
justify the suggestion of The Journal
Of the American Medical association
that DR.. friedman appeared to
possess a more commercial than
scientific spirit.
Otherwise, why should he come to
this country to put his treatment to
test? Is it because there are not
enough consumptives in Germany?
Or is it for the million dollars? On
his arrival in the United States his
work will doubtless be- handled by
the paper even more sensationally
than hitherto.
Apparently his treatment has not
stood the investigation of his scien-
titic conferers on the other side. Will
it on this?.

WHAT OF THIS?

Il Stunning and long-suffering pub

at the hard coal railroads. A few
weeks ago the United States supreme
court handed down a decision find
ing the so-called IS per cent con-
tracts, the roads have with the indie
pendent mines, against the Sherman
law as in restraint Of trade. The pub
lie welcomed that decision as it saw
in it one more step accomplished in
the fight to get its necessary coal al
a lower price.
But now come the roads to asl,
the courts to modify that decision SC
as to permit them to continue those
contracts. %s#* / ~ss-. 4 II. ,..g

ANOTHER TRUST?

~ HERE are rumors from the East
u Of a worldwide corporation Of
hundreds Of millions capital to han
die the grain crops of the world.
Does that mean another great trust
in food necessities?
According to this story a number
Of men of great means are about
to organize farm products selling
and distributing corporation to buy
and handle the great grain crops of
those parts of the world where now
there are few facilities for such
handling-that is the wheat and 9TH
err crops of Russia, India and South
America. Elevators are to be built,
transportation systems established,
farmers encouraged to buy better
implements.
There are many possibilities for
good in such a concern. AS it is now
vast. quantities of grain are lost in
those partially developed countries
where the first thought is crop and
the afterthought the care for it. BY
establishing proper methods Of agri-
culture and Of storing, handling and
transporting the crop may be in
creased ond added to the available
supply of the peoples food. That
should not only give a good return
on the investment, but aid both pro-
Queer and consumer. But fnanciers
| who go into such things do not gen.
orally do 1t entirely from phtlanthro-
pic motives. That the history Of cold
storage has proved.
Such concerns have in the past
been started to really aid the peo-
pie. But most Of them have soon
developed into trusts and monopolies
making all they could from the traf-
| fic, Withholding or flooding the mar
ket, manipulating it at their pleas
! ure and to their profit.
This company may be orgonized to
aid the people, producer and con-
| sumner. But the experiences Of the
| past are such as to make the people
| do little thinking when such things
| are proposed.

BOOSTS AND SLAMS
ON CURRENT EVENTS
WRITE LETTER TO MILLER.

IT. HE new tariff bill. now in its
Il formative state in the house of
representatives. runs some danger of
being vttiated by the action Of weak
kneed congressman influenced by
their own interests.
Although hearings have not yet
been concluded before the ways and
means committee it has become evil
dent that many congressman are dis
posed to demand the retention of pro-
tective duties on their local products.
While this is. true throughout the
whole range Of duties, it is conspicu-
ously true in connection with the
agricultural schedule.
The members who came from
farming communities generally are
inclined to insist that duties on food
products shall not be abandoned. We
believe that the placing OF practically
all good products upon the free list
Is fundamentally necessary in any
scheme of legitimate tariff revision,
and that it is essential to the party
in making good its promise to reduce
the cost of living. The removal of
the duties on these classes Of articles
is therefore to be insisted upon not
only from the standpoint Of NE
public, but from the narrow partisan
point Of view.
We. therefore, urge our readers
| that at the earliest convenient mo-
ment you communicate with Con-
| gresham Miller, pointing out to him
the facts Of the situation and insist
ing that he shall stand for a general
| revision throughout the whole range
! of duties and that he shall particu-
! larly devote himself to obtaining the
removal of duties on foodstutfs en-.
tirely independent of local political
| considerations.

ARKANSAS SUPREME
COURT AGAINST RECALL

ARGENTA, Ark. Feb. 6.-The ST.
preme court Of the state of Arkan-
sas has declared Unconstitutional
the recall amendment which was
adopted by the people by majority
of $4,000.
The recall amendment was initiated
by the State Federation OF Labor
and the State Farmers union. The
reason for declaring the recall
amendment Unconstitutional was
based upon the fact that the consti-
tuition provides that only three
amendments can be submitted to the
people at an election.
It appears that there were in ex-
cess of the three amendments upon
the official ballot, and the court de-
cided to eliminate the recall amend
ment.
It is understood that efforts will be
put forth OF secure another iuita-
tive petition and press the recall
amendment to vote at the next
election.

makes every little worry seem like
the pebbles on the highway to the
strong traveller who Is journeying

his progress and he is upmindful
of them because Of the goal just be-
