The pressing need of bird conserva-
ton as civic question was the theme
of the interesting talk made by Miss
Isabel Goodhue, representative of the
Audubon Society of Florida, when she
spoke under the auspices of the Civic
League, to an interested audience in
the parlors of the First Presbyterian
Church last evening, interspersing her
program with interpretations of bird
calls, which proved one of the bright
features of the entertainment. Miss
Goodhue was introduced by Mrs. ]. C.
Avery, president of the Civic League.
While most pleasing in its charac-
ter, the work of Miss Goodhue is not
designed for the amusement of her
audience, but rather to awake in them
a recognition of the Importance of
the work which the Audubon Society
of American has undertaken, and
especially that branch of the society
which is located in Florida, and which
Miss Goodhue represents.
1t was brought out in Miss Good
hue's talk last evening that it has
been proven, through research of the
United States Government, that bird
life in the United States has been Sc
depleted as to have greatly lowered
the number of birds necessary fol
the preservation of agriculture and
other important functions of living

of bird preservation in relation to
economic conditions, it having been
demonstrated that the life OF the
feathered songsters of the air is most
necessary to the preservation of the
race.
The biological survey of the Uni
ted States is making an exhaustive
study of the birds of America, and
has discovered, through microscopical
examinations of foods devoured by
them, that they exist upon many in
sects which are most detrimental to
agriculture, and which increase in
direct ratio to the destruction of bird
life.
It has been discovered that in Flor
ida alone there are fifty-four species
of birds that eat the boil weevil, SO
disastrous in its effect on the cotton
crop of the south.
The wading birds are of no less I'M
portance, Miss Goodhue pointed out,
feeding on thousands of organisations
which prey on valuable fish spawn;
the beautiful sea gull is scavenger
of the sea. feeding on decaying fish
and the value of hawks and owls is
so great that in many states there

destroyers of rodent life.

Denial.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Long Branch, N. j., Oct. 3d.
President Wilson tonight character
lied as untrue" the statement made
by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
to the effect that the president Sc
riously considered adding a weaken
ing postscript to his second Lusitania
note.
The president made the statement
in a telegram to Walter Lippmann,
New York editor of the New Repub-
lie, replying to a message from Lipp-
mann. The president said, 'nc post
script or amendment of the Lusitania
note was ever written or contemplate
ed by me except such changes that
|, myself, inserted which strengthen
ed the protest.
cit was suggested after the note
was ready for transmission that an
intimation be conveyed to Germany
that arbitration would be acceptable
and one member of the cabinet spoke
to me about it, but it was never dis
sctissed at the cabinet meeting and no
threat of resignation was made for
the very good reason that l rejected
this suggestion"
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 30.-Former-
Secretary of State Bryan tonight de-
MED that there was any truth to the
story that a postscript was written
to the Lusitania note advising Ger
many that the strong language of
the note was not to be taken too Sc
riously and later postscript with
drawn.
Mr.. Bryan said he took it for
granted that the president would deal
with the matter.

The Adamson 8 Hour Law

Republican leaders in discussing the Adamson 8 Hour Law accept the view point of the railroad cor porations and claim that 1t IS a rate-making law and nothing else. They abuse MT. Wilson roundly for insisting on the passage of the law and accuse him of cowardlce in yielding to the railroad brother hoods. It is entirely safe to do this, now that the law has been passed.
 Had Mir. Hughes been in the presidents chair he would not have been so bold-so courageous. With strike only few hours away, a strike that even in prospect had commenced its paralyzing effect and which would have led to great suffering and might easily have re- suited in revolution, Mir. Hughes as president would have taken ex- traordinary steps to prevent 1t. An emergency was upon us and it IS futile to say that he would have waited for an investigation as a means of meeting 1t. MT. Hughes would have urged the passage oi the s hour law just as MT. Wilson did-if he had as much sense as he has been credited with.

Judge Baughn's Demagogy

The News takes notice that Judge Baughn, republican candi- date for justice of thessupreme court, is trying to make capital out of the fact that Judge Henry D. Ross wrote the personal use decision. This attempt of Judge Baughn smacks of demogogy. Had Judge Baughn been in Judge Ross place he would, doubtless, have written the decision in much the same language. The decision does not express judicial opinion or moral questions but on the law. Judge Ross has said that the de- cision did not represent his pri vate opinion of prohibition but as a mere legal question he was obliged to decide as he did. He favors prohibition of the liquor trs fife and he has suggested how the law may be amended so as to escape judicial condemnation. Judge Baughn's demagogy should deceive no one and it probably will deceive no one.

T. H. Cureton is a west side man. His material interests are all in the west side. There is no question where he belongs. At the same time T. H. Cureton is broadgauge and as representative he would work for Coconino coun- ty without any discrimination as to locality. It should be matter of pride to west side people to have a west side man in the legislature and it would look like very prop CT thing for west side voters to lay aside partisanship and vote for T. H.

One Point Missed

There is one accomplishment of the Wilson administration of which very little is made but which de- serves to have good deal said about it and that is the National employment bureau which has not been developed as it should and and will be. Unemployment is the greatest curse of our social system. It is responsible for the major part of our crime and poverty. It can be easily abolished, if we but have the courage to break away from our traditional indust- rial system and use the powers of government for social good.
 The bureau instituted by this demo- cratic administration has not ob- tained great results yet but it has great possibilities. It may be used to connect man and job and if leg islative powers are used in core lation with it, jobs may be pro- vided out of whole cloth. So great consideration is a fully employed labor constituency that the pioneer movement in that direction should be fully advertised,

CROWD|NG OUT
 THE HOMESTEADERS

To The Williams News
 Homesteading in the Grand Can yon and Anita country. is just about as peaceful anduneventful as camping on the lip of a volcano. Life runs on quietly for a time when, Bingl Up goes everythingl The last big eruption to light on the gentle heads of the homesteaders is. the attempted land grabbing by the little but moneyed cattle in- terests of this country.
 The first thing we heard was that the whole country around our modest 16O acre holdings was leased and that such things as tank, sites or tanks finished were wholly dis regarded and were included in the whole sale lease. Next comes MT. High Official of the State Land Department and looks over the country. (The cattle interest it seemed were trying to get the U. s. Land Dept. to turn over this land to the State Land Dept. that (the cattle men) might lease it.) Mir. High Official said "No! No! greedy ones! There are too many little fel- lows in heren'
 Since then one man saw in a local paper a notice advertising the lease to two. little squares of 80 acres each adjoining his place. Up- on application, to the Land Office Pasking for the lease of land around his place he was informed that these two little so acre plats had been leased to a party for five years. These two plats could be of no value to cattle men, but are valuable to the homesteader for his domestic stock. There is plenty of other land available for lease, so that it is not necessary that the cattle men, in order to make a living, shall bring their cattle to the homesteader's door yard to graze.
 Another homesteader states that when he first took up residence on his land he was offered a certain amount of money to get out. Can it be that they would, freeze us out and that failing i'll that they would buy us out? It seems that they consider it necessary to crowd us out in some way in order that they and their thousands of cattle may live. ,-,r-..
 A cattle man stated recently that the homesteaders were just para sites trying to live off the cattlemen e and that their only reason for talk - ing up homesteads is to make a bit of easy money by selling out to the cattlemen.
 Perhaps the hungry money-seek 'e e ing CD homesteader likes th' ,t country; prehaps he likes the out n door life; perhaps he needs home A home is a necessary evil ever
 in these advanced days. Or again
 it is barely possible that he intend le to start into the cattle bushes at himself, if the Holy Moneye'
 powers would permit him to hay
 few acres of grazing land.
 One thing the homesteader doe of need very much and that is e. square deal and it looks very muc UT as if he is not going to get it. nd A Homesteader.
