SCARCITY OF QUAIL.

In 1911, during the session friihiedi-
ately preceding the creation Of tht
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 f7game5 fH.g
The commission firms distributing
these. birds were all prosecuted, and
by tracing the shipments to the firms.
the, Goverpmentla officials discovered
that great quantities of the quail had
come from Kentucky; in fact, $4,000
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 a 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.
II 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 illega
practice has been stopped.

Duration of Wars.

The long.range purse is a great factor
in war. The nation that goes into con.
flict with big gold reserve at its com
mand has tremendous advantage over
one whose hoard of the precious metal is
limited or whose finances are disordered.
Yet, great as are the benefits of reserved
wealth, powerful as is the nation that
can afford to fire gold, it is easy to over
estimate the influences of economic cot.
ditions in fixing the duration of wars.
The world had SO long been without
experience of a really great war up to
Aug. |, 1914, a struggle sweeping over
whole continent and summoning nations
to arms, that it fell into the habit of
under estimating the force of some Of
the primary qualities Of civilized man.
Civilized man, it held, did not like any.
thing unpleasant, or long tolerate inter
ruption Of his pleasure or convenience.
He might, carried away by the novelty
of war, submit for a few weeks to its
annoying exactions. but at the end of
tlat period he would kick against con-
tinued increased taxation, and kick so
hard that inanciers and statesmen 10 APP
pease him would find a way 20 patch up
ia peace. Nearly eight months have
passed since the war began; loan after
loan has been issued; the debts of ma
tions are piling up; taxation has entered
upon new and exacting forms, and still
there is no call for peace loud enough TO
make itself heard above the sound of the
firing.

1862 il was S524000 600; and in 1866 IL

is, the rule Of the majority Of the voters

on the other hand, the league has put IL
self on record through the officers OF the

'rule OF the people and, therefore, a.
against submission of the question o.
adopting a prohibition law to the voters
of that district If the will Of the ma
iority OF the voters is reasonable in IN,

careless as TO the general appearance OF

Comparatively few persons, who have
any sense of cleanliness at all, would lit
ter up their own home grounds by throw
ing refuse out of the windows. Yet the
same people will scatter paper bags and
other waste matter about the streets OF
their town. Then they complain against
the local officers if the place is not kept
in neat condition
Most people also feel some pride about
keeping up home places They will take
pains not to run over grass bankings, and
will scrupulously follow paths. But when
they go down town they will cut corners.

and give the town an unfinished and run
down air. No matter how much money
a town spends to keep its public ways
in good shape, it will never have neat
and tidy appearance unless its citizens
cooperate.
People should feel positive sense Of
shame in throwing broadcast anything
that would make their streets look I'M
attractive
In some places boys and girls are
trained to pick up waste paper that IL

Youngsters active in that way not mere
" to remove evidences of other peoples
disorder, but not to make any Of their
own, it is astonishing how towns ap-
pearance can be transformed.
Allowing public streets to remain in i
disorderly conc. ton must hurt the repu-
tation of town. In these days of au-
tomobiles town receives visitors con-
stantly from far and near. Residents of
other cities come in critical spirit.
They are quick to see evidences of pub
lie disorder, and they bear away the
news that this or that town is dirty.
Spring is the time for cleaning up
Let us all resolve to keep the streets
neat this season Rutland News.
