HEAR FERGUSON TONIGHT.

Harvey Il. Ferguson Will tonight
conclude his campaign for recollection
With a speech 70 the voters OF hil
home city and county ut the Elki
theater. He will give nm account oil
his stewardship and will give reasons
why he should be returned TO his seal

There are many reasons why the
audience TO greet Mr. FERGUSON to-
night should be limited only by the
capacity OF the thcater. II Is only fair
that his friends and neighbors. among
whom the greater part OF his busy
life has been spent. should show
their appreciation Of him as man
and a citizen and also should do
honor to him as the most distinguish
ed AIbuqucrauean in the life Of the
nation today.
Mr.. Ferguson Is Il pleasing speaker

bollishmcnts Of phraseology which
make IL a delight to listen to an adj

While a chorus Of detraetion and
despair proceeds from croakers and
partlsans. there are record exports
at New York; there are sales Of food
stuffs at Chicago mounting Into the
tens of millions. there are orders In
various places running into like sums
for clothing. blankets and shoes;
there are prodlgious demands for mo-
tors and other vehicles; there are day
and night shifts at many factories.
and there IL not mine or an oil well
IN the country that Is not preparing
TO respond TO a world In need.
Practically everything we grow or
make OF possess is wanted abroad.
Every month that devastation is pro-
longed will increase the urgency Of
purchasers. A protracted war IN Eu-
rope will mean occupation for every
American worker and every Ameri-

How Lord Kitchener Brought
Order Out Of Chaos in India

The moment the last lingering de-
tall Of the work In South AfrIch had
been disposed OF at the war office
Kitchener sailed for India. With
charhoterisiic .thoroughness he made
a personal Inspection OF the entire
northern frontier and OF the army
posts Equipment was out OF date,
the organization was hopeless. every
thing was topsy-turvy. The comman-
der-in-chicf. though supposed 10 be

was really impotent. because there
was a fifth wheel In the organization
known ~ the military member Of
council who was supposed 10 have
an equal voice with the commander
but who really had everything to say.
Indeed, subordinates in the war office
had the power. or at least exercised
the power. TO veto or modify the COM
niander's acquisitions. as Kitchener
soon learned To his vast Amusement.
When ne proposed scheme or re-
organization that would transform the
army into a modern fighting machine
perfect tempest broke loose. The
vceroy himself led the opposition,
ably seconded by the military member
OF council, army officers. and the
press. Kitchener was no more dis
posed 10 brook opposition now than
he ever had been. In very few
months the military member OF coun-
ell found Il convenient 10 resign and
his office was abolished Next the
Viceroy had 10 resign. After that
Kitchener put his reorganization plan
through Just as he laid II out. The

Game LaIU Violated
BY Men Who Hunted
Before Season Began

Editor Morning Journa:---I hav,
returned from a trip quail hunting I,
read In the Morning Journal you
news item saying that many hunters
would be In the field today. Your pre-
dictIon was more accurate than you
thought.
The writer went TO the mountains
between Tijeras and Bear canyons. be-
fore daylight. Twenty hunters we're
waiting In the moonlight, ready to get
the first shot at the quail as soon as
daylight should appear and when day.
light did appear Il brought with 1t
view OF automobiles, motorcycles,
teams, buggies and hunters on horse
back vending their way TO the noun
tains, like ants gathering around a
piece OF candy
The writer had made three trips to
the mountains for the purpose OF To-
eating the quail so that when the sea-
son opened he might be sure OF at
least one bag. This morning, when he
went over the ground where the quail
were expected, not a bird arose. but
instead Of quail he saw series of
empty shells, left by the vioators OF
the game laws who In all probability
could account for the absence Of
quail AS the writer was In the field
at daybreak he IL positive that the
empty shells had been thrown aside
by those hunting yesterday or before.
Footprints, horsetracks. and the Inn
print of buggy tires bore out the con-
lecture.
BY o'clock fully fifty people were
hunting between Tijeras and Bear
canyons. Few even had a shot at
auail. and II by tonight there Is a quail
left In this district II seems sure that
he must perish from lonesomeness or
sorrow at the loss of his few compan-
ions.
The hack of quail In no way
checked the desire of the hunters
TO shoot and the few jackrabbits on
the mesa and the tin cans left by
picnic parties must have been the
cause of large dividends to the manu-
facturers Of ammunition. A poor jack |
frightened at the approach of hum
ter who greeted him with u charge
OF bird shot went off In an opposite |
direction only TO be saluted with the |
boom Of a ten-gauge loaded with |
black powder. which caused all the /
hunters In the field to think of Sher- |
mans definition OF war. and to won |
Ter what the 4l-centimeter guns of |
The Germans must be like. II the |
frightened rabbit survived this, the
rack OF q new 20-gauge saluted him
IN the left and the bang. bang. bang
VI an automatic met him at the right. |
indeed. was the jackrabbit
who at dawn WAS chased into the
by a couple of mongrel
logs, the hunting companions Of some
n-year-old boy.
The writer returned home empty
handed, happy that the high cost of
living had not put the usual Sunday
Inner beyond the reach OF the av-
rage man. and thankful that he had
'een where only birdshot instead OF
lowitzer shells was flying and that he
ould quit and so home when he had
nough.
Yours truly. A HUNTER.

WHY MARRIED WOMEN SHOULD

(Frances Fear in Leslies)
Why Gust mothers from the pub

other position? II married woman
or mother may not be debarred from
holding position in the business
world, by what right lis she barred
from the educational field? In New
York City the league for civil service
for women has espoused the cause OF
tcacher-mothers who have been
dropped by the board of education,
and If the state commissioner of edu-
cation is unable to grant relief a bill
will be introduced at the next session
of the legislature making II a. INSIDE
meanor for an employer to refuse

For the Good of the Party.
(New York Tribune.)

The Tribune was prompt to urge
the republicans OF Pennsylvania to
vote against their corrupt and debas-
Ing leader. II is good news that where
such an issue was clearly raised no
false notion of party regularity is
likely to prevail. BY removing Boies
Penrose from the senate OF the Unit
ed States and from his party leader
ship the republicans of PENNSYLVANIA
can do more for the good name Of
their party than dozen conventions
or host OF orators. They have a
rare opportunity to free republican,
ism from one of its most menacins
