The first thing the average foreigner
does on reaching this country is to buy
some kind of gun and, having the
gun, the next requisite is something to
shoot at. This is the first explanation
tpr the passion shown by these people
for the slaughter Of everything that
flies, the second being the fact that
all birds look much alike to these people
as table delicacies. There is no way
of getting at what this lust for slaugh-
tering song birds and harmless native
birds of all kinds has cost the county,
but If there is anything in the esti-
mates of the value of these insect de-
stroying birds to the farmer it must be
a large sum, and it is time that a spe
cial effort was made to enforce the
laws and put q stop to it. The work
of these pot hunters is not confined to
any particular season of the year but
goes ON all the time, winter and sum
mer, when the birds are migrating and
when they are nesting. Every once in
a while these conditions are brought
to the attention of the public by the
arrest of some one for the killing of
these protected birds, but what is
needed is systematic campaign car
ried on through the whole year against
this practice one that win catch all OF
these hunters and convince them by
the imposition of heavy fines that the
possession of a gun or hunting license
does not give them the privilege OF
shooting at everything that flies.

1t is freely predicted that the TWEEN
ty-one dollars day which it costs
them to absent themselves from Wash
ington during the session is going to
look whole lot bigger to some Of the
congressman after the election than it
does now. Business men are pretty
well agreed that the country would be
just as well off if these men had never
gone to Washington, but so long as the
government is paying them more than
most of them ever earned before or
could make anywhere else, to be there,
it is perfectly proper to dock them for
uon attendance on the sessions.

The violations Of the law in regard
to posting advertising matter on tele-
phone and telegraph poles were not
very numerous during the primary cam.
paign, but they, were numerous enough
to call attention to the incongruity of
a candidate who is seeking to repre-
sent the people in the administration
of the government violating the law OF
permitting it to be violated in his be
half in his search for office. Thinking
people are more apt to note the law
violation before they consider the SUI
perlative virtues Of the candidates as
set forth in the poster.

Now that beginning has been made
by fining two young men caught steal
ing flowers from yards on the north
side, property owners will expect a
vigorous effort to be made to stop this
petty thievery in all parts of the city
People who spend money in improving
the appearance Of their yards and gar
dens have right to demand protec-
ton from these vandals and it is the
intention of the police department to
see that they get it. Complaints of
these depredations have been very
numerous lately, but it is expected that
few fines will put an end to the
trouble.

TUCSON, Feb. 35.-W E.

POSTAL MEN ID
 DO GUARD DUTY
Orders Are Issued That Government Elm ployes Be Not Deferred from Performing Military Duty ill the Future

Secretary of Labor Wilson. Post master General Burleson and Secre- tary of State Bryan have issued the necessary orders to carry out the request of Secretary of War Garri son in regard to National Guard duty for government employees.
 The new regulations apply to em- ployes of the government without as well as within the city of Washing ton The prompt compliance to the request of the secretary of war by these cabinet officers is d most gratifying sign.
 In his announcement of the new rule. MT Burlcson, postmaster gen eraI, said: "The department be- lieves that the National Guard should Ie encouraged in every way. and i that it is feasible for postmasters so 1 to arrange the duties of their em
 ployes that leaves of absence to per l form military duty may be granted without detrimcnt to the service | It is said that this is but the first
 step on the part of the government 1 to carry out in practice what it has preached for years, that employees
 should not be hampered in their de 1 sire to become members of the Ma | tional Guard through fear of losing | their positions when called upon for | duty or for attendance at encamp- 1 lents. In Arizona. it has been
 shown, there are hundreds of young
 men who would be glad to enlist in National Guard companies were i t not for the objections of their eh- plo> CTS based upon the absence from | their places of employment for a few days each year.
 When the captains of the two To-
 cal companies were making ready l year, each of them encountered un-
 told difficulties in bringing up their representations at the camp to the number required to constitute a full
 company Company A failed to get 1 out the required number and was
 merged with Company I when the
 men reached Prescott The con-
 manding officer stated then that he felt sure he would have had q ful l company, his enlistment roll beinl
 sufficiently large to have accom- plished this with men to spare. hat

 were unable to obtain leaves ot tabsence from their employment.

 BISEEE, Feb. 25-FoIloWiag the kill ling of one man and the severe wound ing of woman and another man, Harry McCool was giVcn preliminary hearing in jail here and then hurried to Tombstone to avoid the danger of violence that was threatened, the eX- citement having run high.
 After fracturing the skull of Mrs. Louis Detloff, who had divorced him some years since. with blows from the butt of his revolver he fatally shot Louis Capello. whom, he mistook for Mrs. Detloff's son as he ran to her aid upon hearing her frantic screams, and seriously wounded Thomas White who also came to Mrs. Detloffs assistance. Then he rushed into a store room and attempted suicide by setting fire to the building
 McCool has been offensive to the DetlOff family for some time by reason of his temper and habits and had been received at their home with a manner of forced welcome and only in the hope of avoiding trouble. Two months ago his determination to force quarrel be- came fixed. He alleged imaginary grievances against members of the family, especially young DetlOff. But he was permitted to go along, though careful watch was kept when he came about the house. His arrival on this occasion was unexpected. He entered the kitchen and talked pleasantly with his former wife for time and then began to air his supposed grievances. Suddenly he jumped up, drew d heavy pistol from his pocket and brought the butt down upon Mrs. Detloffs head with terrific force, fracturing the skull. As she fell screaming he dealt her an other awful blow.
 Capello came running from his room and was mistaken by the assassin for young Detloff. he eXclaiming "here comes your Johnny and firing point blank. Capello lived only about an hour White was shot in the back as he rushed past the door when he heard the first shot
 At first, McCool Was inclined to have hearing and said that he had good and sufficient grounds for his deeds but on consideration decided to waive examination and await the action of the grand jury.

Fuller details of famine in Japan confirm the early statements that it was the worst in a century It af- fleets mainly the northeastern part of Hakkaido, where the failure of the crops was almost total, and sad stories come of families living on roots and selling their homes for d trifle or tearing down their houses and selling the timber: there are even reports of selling children into slavery.
