Scoring the Bird Killers.
Brookiyn Eagle.)


The indignant utterance of William
T. Hornaday excoriating an informal
conspiracy to defy the United States
law for the protection of migratory
birds: a conspiracy that is said to be
most aggressive in Missouri. southern
Illinois and eastern Kansas; and to
have some strength in Delaware, will
stir warm sympathy in minds capable
of approaching the motive behind the
United States statute. Only S5o,O0o
was appropriated for the enforcement
of that law, and that amount does not
go very far.
The theory of the killers of game
birds is that the federal law is uncon-
stitutional, null and void; and this no.
ton is said to be backed by Senator
Reed of Missouri and by Senator Rob-
inson of Arkansas. Hence the pot
hunters propose to go as far as they
can under this state game laws and
ignore Uncle Sam.
Mr.. Hornaday appeals not alone to
birdlovers. He points out accurately
the Importance of the preservation OF
insectivorous birds to the productive
ness of farms everywhere. And II
his call to arms should result in
movement of citizens in various states
to see that the migratory bird law Is
enforced, to supplement what federal
authorities can do with their limited
appropriations, it may be of vast ser
vice The state cannot efficiently
protect migratory birds. The nation
must do it if it is to be done at all.

He Wouldn't Clean Up.
lThe Christian Herald. }


In the vigorous two year campaign
recently ended, in which eighty towns
competed for the honor of being
designated the cleanest one in the
Lone Star State, Texas ended the
scourges that have devastated it from
earliest times, made good health con-
tagious, and proved that there is
relation between dirt and the death
rate.
Housekeepers committees made in
spections whereaver application was
made. A white list was published
weekly, in the local paper, of the
premises were kept in sanitary condi-
ton. At first some of the merchants
were indignant, but they soon fell into
line. Each town was divided into
sections with a prominent man in
charse-usually about every four
square blocks. Blanks were pre-
pared with which every residence was
scored. There was no discrimination.
But few took offense at criticisms.
Those who did object to such inspec-
ton, and who were Indifferent to the
suggestions made by the Cleanup
Committee, had notices served upon
them by the marshal. In Oklahoma,
where they are a trifie more arbitrary
in their methods, they took possession
of a man who refused to follow such
suggestions, and exhibited him about
town in a cage as "the man who
wouldn't clean up" Such methods did
not become necessary in Texas.

Said a prominent business man to
me recently, Il do not think the Maine
Central has always treated the people
of Maine fairly" He had reference
to freight rates on long and short
hauls with the idea that they dis
eliminated in favor of the long haul
and big patronage. l don't know how
that is, but / can readily see how any
business can be run cheaper when
largely patronized. My little grievance
is this, pretty soon after the Inaugural
ton of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission, the doing away with rebates
and the REIMBURSEMENT of passenger
and freight rates, that freight rates
were raised on all Maine Central lines.
Whereas we could once send 10 to 100
bbls. of apples to Boston for 20 cents
per barrel we are now charged 80

going higher. But that isn't the worst
feature. Every fall l have letters
and circulars from good reliable parties
in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Philadelphia,
Chicago and even as far West as st.
Paul, soliciting consignments of apples
and especially Maine Baldwins on &C
count of their fine quality and long
keeping But we cannot accommo-
date them because there are no rail-
road facilities suitable to send fruit so
far in cold weather, unless you are

cold and that is why we ship to Liver

Inon--and-NOW

Today is the 123rd anniversary of
John Howard Payne's birth. His song
is known throughout the English
speaking world and it rises above all
else, including the so plays and operas
which Payne wrote, as monument to
his memory. Surviving the inroads of
rastime, the ballad is as popular as
ever for knitting home ties. 1t is said
to have had more universal circula-
ton than any song ever written.
Payne's body originally buried at
Tunis, was disinterred after many
years and brought to the United
States for re-interment in Oak Hill
Cemetery at Washington, in 1888. The
remains were placed beneath an ap
propriate monument which was I'M

Home, Sweet Home was being
sung for the first times just 81 years
ago. The song came from the operate
stage. Its author John Howard Payne,
posed as a dramatic critic in New
York when he was only IA years of
age; before maturity he was success
fui on the stage; then came 20 years
of varying success abroad as actor
manager and playwright. Pressed for
funds. he sold the opera "Clari' for
$3.50. In this was Home, Sweet
Homei" Payne had written it, recalling
his early cottage home at East Hamp-
ton, n Y The opera had a phenom-
email run and the song brought a
fortune to its publishers. Payne never
received another cent from 1t. He lat
er became United States consul at
Tunis where he died.

do homage to the amazing convention.
In the Palace where the Empress had
died her dead body gave farewell au-
diences. On it's arrival at Toxic,
Princes and mobiles, Ministers and Of
ficials, attended TO receive 1t, as though
streets at trot in the same carriage
and with the same escort. The same
troops lined the route and the same
masses of people watched the process
sion on its way. Only their unbroken
silence, as the State coach passed in
the moonlight with it's drawn blinds,
showed that they knew the grim bur-
den that it bore. Then came the most
dreadful part of the strange ceremo-
NAL. At the door of the Imperial Pal
ace the living Empress had to welcome
as yet alive the poor remains of her
dead relative. The function was not
yet done. The corpse must be escort
ed to its apartments and put into pos
session of them. Then, and not till
then, was 1t permissible to proclaim
knowledge that the Dowager Empress
was no more.
The convention that members of the
Imperial House must not die except
within the appointed area is doubtless
connected with the cardinal doctrine of
japanese religion and of Japanese pat
riotism, that the Emperor is the de-
scendant of the gods who sit upon
1.-The throne of a lineal succession I'M
broken for ages eternal and that to
his virtues and to the virtues of his
ancestors the prosperity and the glory
or the Empire are due. That is the
faith upon which the greatness of ia
pan and of her people is built.
But the question inevitably presents
itself how long these beliefs and feel
ings can resist, unmodified the i'm
pact of Western learning and of West
ern habits of thought. That they must
be affected by the new conceptions of
all things, which this learning is
spreading in Japan among thousands
of keen intellects, seems certain. How
they will be affected, what form they
will take, what action in their altered
form they may exercise on the mind
of Asia, and what reaction on the
mind of the West, are among the
great problems of the future. We only
note the recent startling ceremonial
as a reminder that one of the most
civilized and most brilliant nations of
nant phase in its development.

Few business men have more to
contend with than an editor. The only
means the editor has of making liv-

His newspaper columns are the same
to him as The shelves of dry goods are
to the merchant. No one thinks OF
asking the merchant to give him the
dry goods from his shelves, but few
there are who hesitate to ask the edi-
tor to give them few columns free in
