A Cat License Law

We are sure that all of our readers
are bird lovers; we believe that many
OF them are also cat lovers; all of
them, without doubt, would oppose
anything they believed to be inhu-
mane. To many, at first blush, a
measure to regulate the household
pet seems unwarranted interference
and harshness. The average cat
owner can not, of necessity, know
what the private activities of his pet
are. He must, then, if he would be
reasonable, accept the statement of
a reliable authority who has made 1t
his special business to study the
question and obtain at least a reason
able approximate of the facts. Ed
ward Howe Forbush, State ornitholo-
gist of Massachusetts, is such an au-
thority and very conservative man.
He states that from his investi-
cations he is assured that an esrl-
mate OF fifty birds killed by the av-
erage cat, per year. is under, rather
than over, the facts.
If we had some species OF wild bird
that preyed on cats, bird lovers who
combated restrictions on the activi-
ties of the species Of bird would be
considered exceedingly unreasonable,
to put II mildly, by cat owners.
II is no war OF determination, no
unreasoning attack on all cats that
is planned in the cat license law. 1t
Is as reasonable and moderate q
measure as could be framed and still
be effective, and 1t should have the
earnest support Of all who wish to
see our wild bird life perpetuated.

1900 the percentage OF the immigration population
was 1877 per cent. In 1910 it "a per cent
In former years the drift of the immigrants was
largely to the agricultural sections. This mmigra-

were more of the foreign-born in the Central West

The Godfrey canal bills, against which there is a
RAPIDLY rising sentiment in the State, will probably
be extinguished in the Assembly at tonghts session.
The developments in regard 10 these bills that have
been witnessed since the Legislature adjourned last
week have only tended TO put increased discredit
upon them and the influences that have
backed them.
It is noteworthy that certain newspapers that had
supported the Godfrey bills now have no editorial
comment to make on the subject Of canal abandon
ment' They have perceived the awakening Of the
public 10 this long-contemplated public wrong ana

could not believe that any influences, however potent
could prevail in the Legislature to consummate such

they have been silent and watchful.

THE J1TNEY BUS IN THE EAST.

The itney bus is creating sensation in Philadel-
phia. the first big Eastern city to be invaded by It,
The traction company which has such stranglehold
on that city the people cannot have extended rapid
transit Improvement. is exceedingly apprehensive.
The legal authorities OF the city looking up the
law for some means to restrain the Itney bus from
running to and fro. The State Legislature is con-
sidering bill to make the way Of the jitney hard
and rough The traction company holds that the
franchises owned by it give it the exclusive right to
operate specific routes and, therefore, jitney
buses Illegal
Laws are sought to permit municipalities to
license and supervise such vehicles, although the
Pennsylvania law distinctly says that additional
tax be imposed motor-driven vehicles other
than the license fee required by the State.
The ordinary is giving welcome TO the
jitney bus. II has the look OF friend to him. He
has patiently watched the struggle between the city
and the traction company and has wondered when he
Is to get an extension Of rapid transit in parts
Of the city and in other parts at all The jitney
ous comes as a relief TO him. He therefore cannot
understand this legislative effort TO restrain and
hamper his new-found friend
The idea that traction franchise gives exclusive
right carry passengers the streets Is farfetched
If the people can get better service for the
by patronizing jitney bus in preference to
street car they should have the benefit of this
petition, or any effort to make 1t difficult for the
tney bus appears to be in the interest of abso-
lutte monopoly of the streets by traction companies.
If in time tracks the streets should be done away
with altogether the public gain would be immeasur-
able and traction companies would be obliged neces-
sariy learn readjus themselves to the changed
conditions There taxicabs and automobiles for
hire doing business in most Cities but these charge
prices beyond the means of the common man pro-
tests are made.
The advantage of the jney bus is that it picks up
passenger anywhere and leaves him where he wants
to CO. The jitney bus has arrived and Is able to be
run proftably to meet public demand To sup
press by any burdensome legislation Is to oppose
public demand. To regulate jitney buses in the in
terest Of public safety by confnng them to specific
routes by determining their number may be neces
sary but to cripple them in the interest of traction
may be act in the way of progress.
Whatever may be the outcome of this problem,
the rights Of the public superior to those of any
special interest.

BY MARY MARSHALL.

Remembered as one of the most re-
markable legal cases in history. the
story of Lady Jane Douglas reads
like the chapters from a romance.
She was born March 8, 1893, in Scot
land. Early left fatherless she was
brought up by her mother and owing
to her great beauty and her many
accomplishments she had any number
of distinguished suitore before she
was twenty. There were three dukes
and three earls among them. When
she was twenty-five she or her mother
selected one of the earls-who later
became a duke--and Jane seems to
have been truly in love with him.
On a day when all arrangements
had been made for the wedding Of
Jane and her earl letter was slipped
into her hand as she was walking
through the street. The letter pre-
tended to be from the earl making
known a previous attachment that he
had had of which he never told Jane.
This confession must have been of q
serious nature. for Jane was SO dis
ressed about 1t that she determined
never TO marry, but to retire to a
French convent. Accordingly, she
made an attempt TO escape from home
with her French maid, both In male
attire. They were followed by James
mother and brother and brought back
to safety before they had got out OF
Scotland.

GIVING WORK TO THE UNEMPLOYED.

IN ordering the work the Park place ter

vice Company performed real benefaction for hun
dreds OF unemployed men, who will now be put to
york IN the erection OF the structure well an in
preparing materials for it. The improvement was
stopped because of the general financial conditions
which are greatly bettered.
The improved conditions we're made evident In the
foam negotiated by the city last week. and the change
savors the prosecution public well private i'm
provement work. The industrial conditions in New
ark are not improved and hundreds of wcrkingmens 8
families are in state Of destitution.
Reasons can be advanced why all large municipal
improvements should be stopped or postponed, but
there Is one against that outweighs them all It
Is the great need of employment The sentiment OF the
Newark community does not favor the stoppage OF
municipal in times of great stress, and there are
comparatively few taxpayers who are willing to see
widespread distress for the sake OF saving point
two in the rate. The example of the Public Ser
vice Company should be followed by the municipality

COLLEGE MEN FOR THE NATIONAL RESERVE

Nothing promises better for the creation of ade
quate for the defense of this country than the
camps of military instruction for college students,
under the direction of regular army officers The
value of such material, and its ready availability for
service is shown in England where 1900 Of Oxford 8
1900 students and 2.200 of Cambridge's $500 have
gone to the front, many of them with commissions.
and Guy Nickalls the former Oxford rowing star,
now Yales boating COACH declares that the athletes
OF both universities have enlisted almost 10 man.
But there must be military training before the
services students have their full efficiency and
this is what the plan camps in this country pro-
poses to supply in advance of the need Mentally as
we'll as physically the young OF our colleges and
universities will make ideal soldiers, and especially
officers and these camps with college instruction will
serve to class of educated men from which,
IN national emergency, would be drawn a large pro-
portion of the volunteer commissioned officers upon
whose Judgment and training at such time the
safety OF their country will largely depend.

STANDARDIZATION COMES HIGH.

When William Waldorf Astor and other wealthy
Americans expatrated themselves some years ago
they did not foresee how much 1t going to cost
them to renounce their birthright. Englishmen, OF
whom Astor is one, taxed on their dividends
from securities held In America and other foreign
lands and with the additional taxes incomes above
$40 900 year are subject 20 per cent OF
they must pay tax in this country, too, and
these voluntary exes, for whom the good old United
States was not good enough, are now trying TO hnd
some means of evading this double taxation; but it
serves them right.

Stewart. whose only fortune was his
sword, whom she had quarreled with
earlier in her life and who returned
to marry her. But Lady Jane knew
that her brother would rot approve
OF this union, so assuming the name
Mrs. Gray, she travelled with her
husband through the continent. It.
was when Lady Jane was well past
fifty that the famous twins, Sholto

Lady Jane and her husband claimed
these children, and the elder of the
two was consequently the heir to the
