This is one of the smallest of the Ban tam family, standard weights calling for 20 to g ounces for females, and 22 to $ ounces for males, although most of the best specimens exhibited are well under these weights.
 Rose comb Bantams, both black and white, are bred in large numbers in Eng land, Canada and the United States, all though the best specimens appear to be produced in the former country, whence many are imported each year. Rose-comb White Bantams were originated in Eng land, and they have reached their best perfection during the last 20 years. This

Milk by the Yard No XnIx NInh

An Irlshman passed a shop where d notice was displayed saying that every thing was sold by the yard. Thinking to play a joke on the shopnan, he en- tered and asked for a yard of milk
 The shopman not in the least aback, dipped his finger in bowl of milk and drew a line a yard long on the counter
 The Irishman, not wishing to be caught in his own trap, asked the price.

THE SHADOW RIDERS

 company, publishers. New York.
 Western Canada is the background for '.The Shadow Riders The title is an echo of the old west, the lost land ' which now lives only in the memory of the pioneers. The story itself is con cerned with a newer west which has not yet been pictured in fiction; a coun. try of the young. It reflects the feverish hopes, the quick successes, the amazing social bouleversements only possible when all the old clements of society have beet poured together and shaken up pell meIl It is not melting pot, but a grab bag.
 The story also is concerned with the love affairs of man, of a woman and of girl. Character stands out sharply against such a background, or. rather such a lack of background. Each must stand on his or her own feet, If one glows dizzy and stumbles. there is a

BRITISH WORKERS FOR PROTECTIVE T.

The following news from across the sea is important
for American voters to consider:
Birmingham, Eng, Sept. 6-Ihe trades union
congress, representing nearly 100000 organIeu
workers of Great Britain, took an important anu
unexpected step today by adopting with a major
ity of more than 100000 votes, a resolution Vrtu-
ally endorsing the principles of protection.
The resolution asks for the adoption OF metH
DDS for restricting or preventing the Importation
of cheap MANUFACTURED goods produced at lower
rates of wages and under worse labor conditions
than prevailing in this country.
This is not something conjurred up by politicians;
it is a fact. The trades union men OF Great Britain corIe-
spond to our union labor men. They are men VINO i've
on wages and who are interested in the industrial welfare
of the nation.
In this country we are now on a practical Tree trdue
basis. The gates are open, the bars are down to all Tor
eigners in nearly all our industries. After the war is
over there is going to be an immense effort to recapture
markets. European countries will bar each other, ana the
United States will be the prey of all trade promoters
abroad. We were never more poorly prepared TO meet
such an invasion. We are as poorly prepared to tight IN
dustrially as we are militarilly.
The present administration realizes the situation and
it has tried to hedge, here and there, on the tariff. But
what the American voters want is a complete revision. OF
the tariff along the lines of protection, and that is possible
only from the party that believes in protection now, as
always.
This issue of the tariff is paramount will be
realized.

Japan STREAMING PEACE AGAIN

The demands made by Japan upon China put peace
in the far east again in a precarious position. In sub
stance, the recent memorandum is an insistence on the
suzerainty of Japan over China and submission will be a
measurable surrender of the national character of the
Flowery Kingdom. 1t is difficult for an outsider to form
all accurate estimate of the situation, for want OF def
nite knowledge Of the extent of japanese control already
established. The intrigue leading up to present devel-
c1rrlents has long been carried on and has been especially
active and persistent since the beginning of the war III
Europe, the Japanese taking advantage of the fact that
the attention of the world powers was directed elsewhere.
Chinese politics are in such a chaotic state and the gov
eminent as it exists is so unready for resistance that it
would not be surprising to find Japan firmly entrencned in
full control of the empire surely moving to decadence
through lack of vitality.
Possession of the authority and influence demanded
will of course strengthen Japan's position as a world
power, for future dealings with China must then be
through Toxic. The United States is involved because
of the Hay treaty, pledging this country to maintenance
of the open door" and to the territorial integrity of
China. 1t is possible for the Japanese to evade entangle-
ment along these lines by relying on their hitherto pro-
fessed intention of exercising merely friendly supervision
Of the affairs of their helpless %neighbor. Last winter
Baron Iishi Shibusawa, leading financier of Japan, sug-
gested that an arrangement between his country and the
United States to exploit China would be profitable to all.
The situation may become decidedly interesting, as
the United States is the only country left to which the
Chinese may appeal against the aggressiveness of the
laps.

THE ONLY LOGICAL CONCLUSION

One of the unbiased reviews of the railroad strike
drama and its elimination in the enactment of the new
eight-hour wage basis law includes this pertinent obser-
walton:
Before leaving Washington President Garrett
son expressed the belief that the action of con-
congress in 1egislating the eight-hour day in this
instance points logically to federal regulation of all.
railways and the ultimate end of government own
ership.
The taking over by the president and congress, in
conjunction with the interstate commerce commission and
the special investigating commission yet to be appointed,
of the whole question of hours and wages of employees OF
railroads subject to the interstate commerce law (barring
the few specific EXCEPTIONS completely estops the demo-
Gratis from tempting to make further issue out of the
exclusive federal regulation plank in the republican plat
form.
AS a consequence of recent court decisions in rate
cases and of this new wage legislation, federal regulation
is already in effect in the matters of most importance, and
the states rights idea of independent conflicting control
by forty-eight different law-making and administering
bodies has heard it's death knel1 sounded.
President Garretson is eminently correct in his con-
clusion that there is no logical stopping point short of
federal regulation of all railways even though his "ul-
innate end of government ownership be disputable or,
at best, remote. No one, let it be noted. thought of APP
pealing to the different state railway commissions to bring
about an adjustment of the recent wage trouble. On the
contrary, everyone concerned looked solely to the seat OF
federal government for the solution if it was to come
through any public authority. In other words, all our
railroads have become and are part of one national system
of transportation whose vital problems can neither be
localized nor dealt with satisfactorily except in their
proper relation to the whole.

OUR FRIEND BOB WHITE

Canada and the United States have united IN a treaty
to protect the insect eating birds, which, we are told by
the department of agriculture, are so needtul to reduce the
annual loss Of from eight hundred million to one billion
dollars due to insect attacks upon the crops OF the coun-
try. Bv cooperation only can protection be guaranteed,
and the agreement of the two countries affords the basis
for mutual congratulation. Not all the insect eaters are
MIGRATORY, however, and one of the most useful OF these
friends of man is the quail. And the quail needs protec-
ton not only from the hunter but from the winter. In
the old dav of the underbrush, the hedge row, the deep
wood and the vine covered rail fence Bob White found
ample protection from the sleet storm and the snow. But
in this dav of the wellcleared and intenslvelV cultivated
farm no such shelter is provided. If he is to be continued
as the DESTROYER of crop enemies, he will have to be pro-
vided with winter quarters in which he will be safe from
hunters, hawks and storms. In certain communities this
safeguarding of the quail has already proved its wisdom,
and the time will probably return when generally over the
country will be heard the cheerful call of this friendly bird.
But never again will he be hunted as ruthlesslv as he was
in the past. 1t has been found that his food value is
the least of his virtues.

THE SIDE

The New York Sun grows speculative in the follow
fashion:
Suppose the railroads we're to demand that their employees
accept less than present rates of pay and were to base this de-
mand on the assertion that transportation earnings under exist
ing conditions left them with neither money nor credit for proper
maintenance of equipment and service, to say nothing of the
expansion imperatively demanded by the countrys development.
Suppose. furthermore, that authorized representatives of
the railroads fatty refused to arbtrate this demand and threat
ened. unless it we're granted, a general lockout of workmen and
total cessation of train operation with the inevitable sequence
of a disaster almost as widespread IS would attend a n invasion
of the country by the armed forces of a n enemy
Wherein would such attitude o n the part of railroad rep
resentatves differ in point of justice and public morality from
the present attitude of the representatives Of the railroad broth
erhoods in the issue pending?
Would these brotherhood representatives consent to accept
the proposed pay reduction pending prolonged researches of
various commissions and o the strength of the statement of
somebody. speaking quite without authority, that society
seemed to demand that they get less money for their days
work?
Suppose the railroad representatives still peremptoriy e
fusing to submit the question to unbiased arbitration, were
actually to carry out their threat to plunge the country into
business and social chaos. to what extent would persons re
sponsble for such action be amenable to punishment under laws
made and provided to meet the cae of conspHades to ohstruct
interstate commerce and to endanger life and property?
While it is difficult to imagine the railroad managers
cutting any such capers as those the Sun presents, 1t Is
not beyond belief that they would do SO were they con
WINGED that they could bluff the president and congress
into COMING across. We all of us understand, of course
that this whole THING is rooted deep in politics, and there
is no particular reason for believing that one side OF this
industrial controversy is more virtuous than the other. 1t
is merely a case of the faction possessing the greatest
number of votes Wrlnglng concessions from an admins
tration that is confronted by an approaching election
There is something about it which is extremely disqulet-
inc to sober and thoughtful minds. If vastly important
legislation is to be forced through congress under such
circumstances, the future is dynamic in its revolutionary
possibilities.

"CROCKER N PLAYS VANISHING ACT

Back from the Arctic region comes the exploring ex-
petition, sent out to check up discoveries reported by
Admiral Peary in connection with his journey to the pole.
First of all is the statement that no vest1ge OF the so
called "Crocker Land could be found. The Investigate
os found only open deep water where Peary found the
new land" They have concluded the gallant com
mander was misled by a mirage, which IS quite bel1evable.
Whether this will throw doubt on other features OF
Pearv's report must be determined by further details OF
what the Investigators found. The fierce controversy be-
tween Cook and Peary has never been entirely settled, and
it may easily be opened again. 1t will be we'll for the lat
ter if it is. and certain elements of doubt now existing be
cleared away, that his great exploit may be established
beyond question. The vanishing of "Crocker Land need
not be considered discrediting to Peary's whole claim.

The iron crosses that the German emperor has given
out now total some 10000. In the beginning the crosses
were given out sparingly and they were intended by the
earlier Prussian kings and German emperors to be marks
of special favor bestowed only on the few who had per-
formed extraordinary deeds. But now it is quite COM
mon to give out the crosses. But, perhaps, extraordinary
deeds have become more numerous. The war now being
waSed is so big in events that many NAV be honestly en-
titled to the decoration.
