First "Giamc Law"

The first game law for the protec ton of wild animals and birds was enacted in 1868 hy William the Con- Querof This decree of the Norman king was called forest law. but it's principal purpose was the preserva. tion of game. Forfeiture Of property was made penalty for killing or dis abling any kind of wild beast. while the slayer of a stag, buck or boar. if convicted, had his eyes put out. These laws, of course, applied only to the masses, since the royalty and no. bility were permitted to kill as much as they pleased in fact.. the princi pal purpose of the pioneer game law was to provide sport for the few. The first parliamentary game law in Eng land was passed tn 1496. Game laws In America have become increasingly strict of late years, but they were adopted too late to save many species uotah,y the buffalo. from almost com plete extinction.

a DEFINITE ILLUSTRATION

Tho persistent claim OF the Demo
cratic administration that the depres-
sion in business is due entirely to the
war does not hold when the effects on
the tariff bill are accounted for The
depression was in evidence long be
fore the war began, and it was directly
4raceable to the Underwood-Sim
bill, which was not only deficient as a
revenue raiser, but a cordial invitation
TO the foreign manufacturers to come
In and take the home market away
from the American who could not COM
pete with the low priced labor of Eu-
rope.
One of the most striking object les
sons of the advantage the European
manufacturer has over his American
competitor Eithout a protective tariff
was contained in statement recently
made by w. H. Morgan, an Alliance,
Ohio, manufacturer. In order to Sc
cure definite information as to how
the Democratic tariff would work he
advertised for proposals on certain
steel castings, similar by the way. to
those manufactured by his own com
pany. The representative OF the Ger
man concern called on him in response
to the advertisement and solicited the
business. The price quotation on the
castings was about one-half what his
Alliance company was getting for
them Mr.. Morgan was amazed and
asked the German how it could be
done. The explanation was that the
minimum wage paid for American la
Dor required on the castings was $350
o day, whereas the maximum in Ger
many was $3.50. In fact, Mr.. Morgan
was informed that German factories
could deliver steel castings in this
country at about the price charged
here for iron castings.
It is true that the war has a present
erect ON industry and trade in this
way, that it is acting as a protective
tariff; in disturbing the industrial con
ditions in the belligerent countries and
the interruption of traffic between the
United States and the nations at war
When the war is over and industry
and ocean traffic resume their normal
conditions then we shall Sc the effects
OF the uninterrupted Democratic tariff

.TopAYs sIRTHpAY PARTY.
Norman sapaood, EaI.or Q tiarper'a,

Condemns Germany.
Among the American editors, who
have taken sides in the great war, few
have gone so far in their condemna-
ton OF Germany as Norman Hapgood,
the editor OF Harper's Weekly. Mr..
Hapgood will be AZ years old tomor-
row, having been born in Chicago,
March %. 1858. He was educated at
Harvard. and began his journalistic
career as a dramatic critic on New
York paper in 1897. In 1903 he was
made editor Of Golfers Weekly, and
held that position for decade, at
tanning an international reputation.
Last year he assumed the editorial
management of Harper'S Weekly and
has since been at the head of that old
journal Of civilization" The famous
editor spent some time in Europe dur
ing the early part OF the war, investi-
eating the causes OF thG conflict, and
attributed to Germany the greater
Share of responsibility.

about doubles the strength OF the Ger
man navy. Social troubles in Ger
many were increasing. Russia's grow
ing strength was a nightmare. There
fore it seemed to the German war
party TO be the psychological moment.

has often done before. 1t encouraged
the insulting form of the ultimatum,
which fitted in with the Vienna mood.
Austrian statesmen, at the last mo-
mcnt, began to realize what had been
done to them, as they have realized
too late before. So they relented at
the end. The German mind had long
been made up. It's oligarchy would
force the war, it would break any
treaties and invade any neutrals; 1t
would crush France, annex Belgium,
beat back Russia. and then settle with
Great Britain. It possessed mighty
empire OF destructiveness which might
grow less effective. and it would use
it now"
Moral considerations, Mr.. Hapgood
declared, would have decided effect
on the result of the war. Every man
i'll France"-he declares-"knows that
he is fighting for government that
desired peace. Every man in England
knows that Sir Edward Gray struggled
desperately to avoid war. Every man
in Belgium knows that an unspeakable
outrage was inflicted on his country
by mighty government, ruthless OF
the consequences to a smaller power.
Men in that mood fight long. On the
other hand, when the terrible pinch
of poverty is fully felt in Germany and
Austria, will the ordinary German. as
the causes of the war begins to filter
into his mind, be repaired for so long
a death grapple"?
