iUc MIutaNeS " euc ToopiOs
To the Editor of The Times:
In 1883, this government was dedi.
Gated to, for and by the people;
therefore the people should govern.
Good citizenship takes In broader
term than the idea that people
ought to be law-abiding. IL Is neces-
sary they should be all OF that, but
they must also strive to do something
for the betterment Of the government
and humanity. This IL one of the
principles we lack. The people forget
that they are the great mass of the
sovereign people; forget the fact that
they are the rulers, and should be the
lawmakers Of the nation. The one
object they ought to have in mind Is
to apply themselves to the needs of
the government
One Of the many mistakes we make
In diagnosing this question IL the fact
that We have the habit of going after
the symptoms and not the causes.
The main causes we should seek to

CARRIER PIGEONS IN WAR
First Used In Franeo-Prussian Con-
fiIet, and Their Value Has Since
Been Recognized.

The first war In which pigeons were
used as messengers was the Franco
Prussian, and the birds carried news
into and out of besieged Paris. A post
was established at Tours. and right
through the siege regular mails were
carried between Paris and Tours by
pigeons.
1t is not generally known that all
the armies and navies of the world
can fall back on oflicial pigeons. II
necessary, and that the birds belong
ing to the British navy have their
ofncial standing and numbers just as
the handymen have.
During the Boer war the British
army had its carrier-pigeon system.
The birds brought messages from all
the towns beleaguered by the Boer in
vaders, and when Sir George Whites
force was cooped up in Ladysmith
winged messengers carried several dis
patches from that gallant ofiicer to the
men who were slowly fighting their
way to his relief.
