What Is An Editorials

Probably never before in the
history of journalism have ed
itorials been more widely read,
which means, by the same token,
that never before have news
papers exercised so wide an in
fluence. The editorial is an ex-
preston of the newspapers be-
lief or sentiment. To be of any
value, it must have behind it the
papers reputation for fearless
ness, truth. ard unfettered incor-
ruptibility. Without these, the
influence of the editorial is multi
fled before it reaches the printing
press. The newspapers first
duty is to give the news. Its Sec
ond duty is to comment on the
news show toward what end the

Reading and Gum.

(Reading is no longer an in
tellectual exercise, but a mere
habit-like chewing gum. From
a sermon.)
In ancient times, when liter
chure was chiseled on a stone, or
worked in hieroglyphics on a
temple or throne, folks read
for mental exercise, for Culture
and then some. Today we do
our reading like a shop girl chews
her gum.
When monks with much pains
taking care illumed the printed
page, initiated manuscripts so
rare were doubtless all the rage;
as curiosities today these pages
white we thumb, content to do
our reading like a shop girl cheWs
her gum.
When bibles were so valuable
they had to chain 'em down, and
parties who could read would act
as if they owned the town, to
write your name was looked up
on about like Kingdom Come.
Today we do our reading like a
shop girls chews her gum.
Through lots that's writ to-day
is trash, there's much that can
be found worth reading; though
the price is cheap, books-news-
papers abound, and for the many
millions now the printing presses
hum, and reading is a habit
just the same as chewing gum.

PHEASANT DISTRIBUTION

In March, 1915, distribution of Eng
lish ringneck pheasants was made by
the Commission These birds were
purchased in England and shipped to
Philadelphia, where they were received
by a representative OF the Commission
and shipped in crates of fifteen birds,
ten hens and five cocks, to each coun
ty in the state, where they we're re.
ceived and separated into trios, two
hens and cock, and these birds were
liberated by persons with whom the
Commission had made arrangements,
on lands controlled by them.
Reports from 7S counties show an in
crease of 1856 birds, which indicates
a gratifying condition and places the
number of these splendid game birds
at liberty in Kentucky at something
above six thousand. Some of the birds
were held in captivity, but in nearly
every instance these experiments re-
suited in failure, but the birds that
were turned loose and allowed to rear
their own young, in practically every
instance produced and raised a covey.
The result of these experiments
have so encouraged the Commission
that another importation of pheasants
is planned, and we hope to liberate
three thousand more OF these birds in
the spring of 1916. The distribution OF
pheasants aroused great interest, and
we received many requests for set.
tings of eggs and purchased 800 from
a game dealer in Pennsylvania, which
were sent by parcels post to those who
had applied. We also shipped 265 from
the Kentucky Game Preserve on Pine
Mountain, in Bell county.
The reports show that large per-
centage of eggs did not hatch, and
where broods we're Matched they soon
died, so the distribution proved a
failure.
II is unlawful to kill any ringneck
pheasant at any time of the year, and
the Commission appeals to you for
your assistance in protecting them un.
til they increase sufficiently to permit
hunting.

SCARCITY OF QUAIL

In 1911. during the session immedi-
ately preceding the creation of the
game laws, the Federal Government
discovered that large quantities Of
quail were being sold in the northern
and eastern markets, and that these
birds had been shipped in violation Of
the federal laws covering interstate
shipments of game.
The commission firms distributing
these birds were all prosecuted, and
by tracing the shipments to the firms,
the Government officials discovered
that great quantities of the quail had
come from Kentucky; in fact, 100000
were shipped out of Kentucky in 1911,
1900 being shipped from two points
in Gallatin county.
All of the parties making illegal
shipments were tried in the federal
courts of Kentucky and convictions
followed in every case The United
States Government knew, in general
way that shipments were being made
from Kentucky, but in this work, as in
other branches of the Government
they desired to help only those states
who were making an honest endeavor
to help themselves.
1t was the common practice OF the
larger hotels and restaurants in Ken
lucky, before the creation Of the Game
and Fish Commission, to annually sell
large quantities of quail Illegally
bought and sold A number of cases
were made against one of the leading
hotel companies in Kentucky, and we
are pleased to say that this illegal
practice has been stopped.

The Parable of The ProdigaI
Father.

A certain man had two sons,
and the younger of them said to
his father: Father, give me the
portion of thy time, and thy at
tention, and thy companionship,
and thy counsel, which falleth to
me"
And he divided unto them his
living, in that he paid the boys
bills, and sent him to select
preparatory school and to dancing
school and to college, and tried to
believe that he was doing his full
duty by the boy.
And not many days after, the
father gathered all his interests
and aspirations and ambitions
and took his journey into far
country-into a land of stocks
and bonds and securities, and
other things which do not interest
a boy-and there he wasted his
precious opportunity of being a
chum to his own son. ,--..---
And when he had spent the
very best Of his life and had
gained money, but had failed to
find satisfaction, there arose a
mighty famine in his heart; and
he began to be in want of sympa-
thy and real companionship.
And he went and joined him.
self to one of the clubs of that
country; and they elected him
chairman of the House Committee
and president of. the club and
sent him to Congress. And he
would fain have satisfied himself
with the husks that other mer
did eat, and no man gave unto
him any real friendship.
And when he came to himself
he said: "How many men of my
acquaintance have boys whom
they understand and who under.
stand them; who talk about their
boys and associate with theii
boys and seem perfectly happy
in the comradeship of their sons,
and | perish here with heart.

my son, and will say unto him
Son, | have sinned against
Heaven, and in thy sight; am

father: make me as one of thy
acquaintance. ."
And he arose and came to his
son. But while he was yet afal
off, his son saw him and was
moved with establishment, and
instead of running and falling or
his neck, he drew back and was
i'll at ease.
And the father said unto him
"Son, / have sinned against
Heaven, and in thy sight: l an
no more worthy to be called thy
father. Forgive me now and lei
me be your friend"
But the son said: mot so.

ly, to give its owl honest, I'M

above board. No one else is
bound to think as the editor
thinks. but the editors opinions
go down in black and white and

upon which to base them. Those
reasons, expressed in the edito-

the editorial stands or falls be-

thought -one who bases his
opinions on solid foundations and
is willing afterward to come into
the open and fight for them.
