Birds Like City Noise and Light

There are more robins than other birds in this
try, but the sparrOws almost many. The bird
census shows average Of six pairs Of robins for
every So acre farm and five pairs English sparrows
to the same territory There about half many
cat birds as robins, and about a quarter as many
wrens brown thrashers Engbirds, and blue birds The
bird census shows too that birds when they
nesting prefer being IN the city It, the
farm houses barns to remaining in the quiet Of the
deep woods It is the habit Of the human to think Of
birds shy, but students Of bird psychology are be-
ginning think that the little feathered brothers and
sisters really ike the stir and noise and rapid action
Of modern life, and want to get away from the deep
forests where nothing ever happens.

the SAID peLluOus are much more ter
rifying.
Petitions in this country are now so
powerful that Few legislators presume
TO cast their votes upon great subjects
without preparing a petition in ad-
vance from their constituents. 1t is
indeed an imposing sight TO witness an
obedient servant Of the people casting
his vote against a bill because a ma
5Ority Of his constituents have petit
toned him TO do so. while his col
league is voting nobly for it in re-
Spouse to an almost unanimous de-
mand from the same body Of cOnstits.
Petitions are very useful affairs, but
the methods Of signing them need con-
siderable revision Our constitutions
should guarantee the right Of every
free born citizen to read all petitions
presented them and to refuse TO sign
the same in firm. loud tones, without
being considered i'll natured TO excess.
So long as the man who refuses 10
sign all petitions is regarded as IN
favorably as the man who insists on
buying his own drinks. we must ex-
pect a good deal of confusion in the
mind Of the faithful but Jimid public
servant

Sign here, please"
After you have signed, there is no
valid objection to your calling up the
friend and asking him what II is all
about However, this is seldom done
1t indicates a want Of confidence,
and everything in this country, even
crops, depends on confidence.
When the compiler Of a petition has
secured a list Of names as long as a
delinquent tax supplement, he takes it
TO some public official, presents il to
him and says; we, the free and IN
