A PLEA FOR THE BIRDS

Spring will soon be here. The rob-
ms will come, and the bluebirds and
the swallows, and the little house
martens-all the feathered tribes of
the field and the woods. We want to
make a plea for them. They are the
farmers best friends. Barring the
English sparrow, which has at least
one thing to commend him-that he
is a good fighter-and whose main
faults are that he will chase away
song birds that eat the farmers grain
before it is ripe, and, barring an oc-
casional sharp-shinned hawk, we
have not any bird of the field or of
the woods that is not friend to the
farmer. This is equally true of the
migratory birds that pass over us on
their way from winter quarters and
from summer quarters.
One of the best friends is little
Bob White" a CHEEKY little chap,
born optimist, who in the summer
time sends out glad tidings from the
fence post or fence rail, apparently
feeling that he is safe. The thrush
sings his song to us from the hedge,
and the meadow lark from the field.
They are all our friends.
Our plea is that every boy who
undertakes to take the life of one of
these birds be demonstrated with at
once; and then if he persists, that he
be taken out behind the barn and
dealt with summarily in way that
he will remember. Instead of MAX
ing war upon these friends who are
doing their best to protect us from
the insect pests which have become
the bane of the farmers life, give
them encouragement. Fix up boxes
for the martens; set them on pole
in the yard or on the lawn. Hide
boxes in a quiet place for the little
house sparrows. They will come II
you give them a place to live. They
are not particular about the paint or
the shape of the box. What they
want is comfort, and in this they are
wiser than most people. Every one
of our readers who has a flock OF
quail on his premises and has thrown
out grain to them near the house, mas
been rewarded by their cheerful COM
pany. That is a Christian act. We
can not conceive that the Lord looks
with any pleasure on the boy or man
who harms these friends of his father
and himself, who, according to Jesus,
are under the care of the great
Father of us all.
Why should anyone make war up
on them? If we have not the finer
feelings of a gentleman, we should
at least listen to the plea OF our
pocketbooks, which if they could
speak and speak intelligibly, would
tell us that they are more or less
swinnied because of the brutal war
fare upon the birds.
Another thing: Don't let any pot
hunter or any sportsman murder
your friends, the birds. AS these are
now under federal protection, no
man has a right to shoot ducks or
geese or brant on their way north
ward in the spring. They are going
there to rear their young, for the
mating instinct has overtaken them,
Just as it overlook you, old man,
long long ago, and as it is overtakiug
you, young man, just now. Have a

A CASE IN POINT

A convincing demonstration of the
cost in blood, misery and money re-
sulting from the liquor traffic has
/ lust been furnished to the people of
this section by the suicide of Lester
/ r. Blame. The record of this case
constitutes a powerful indictment of
the evils of booze.
On July 3, 1910, he secured a sup
|lply of liquor at Palouse, and pro-
ceeded to treat Guy Sylyey, a young
imam employed at the Northern Pa
Icific depot in that city. Both i'm
lbibed too freely and when J. O. Syl-
Vey, the young mans father, came to
the depot he found his son in an in
Itoxicated condition. He was indig-
nant and demonstrated with Blame,
finally taking the bottle of whiskey
land breaking it. This enraged
Blame and he drew a revolver and
KILLED Sylvey Had there been no
liquor there would have been no
quarrel. If Blame had not been
under the influence of liquor there
would have been no murder.
Blame was arrested and after
trial which entailed heavy expense
10 the taxpayers was sent to the
penltentiary. He left wife and sew
eral children to whose support the
Icounty was called upon to contribute.
he was a model prisoner and when
us health began to fail was released
| On parole last summer. He showed
d disposition to make good, secured
IL Joo as teamste on the county
road work, brought his family to Col
lax and was getting along nicely I'M
vi lew weeks ago, when he began
urihKing again in violation of his
parole. The warden of the peniten-
nary was coming to Colfax on bust
ness Blame happened to hear of if
u"u jumped at the conclusion that
'ue purpose of the visit was to take
Hiin pack to serve out his sentence
80 ne blew out his brains with a re-
'Ol'er and left his wife and children
10 shift for themselves.
