ENCOURAGE THE QUAIL

A man in independence imported
recently a carload of quail from
Mexico. They are to be released in
Western Missouri to restock the
country hereabouts from which quail
long ago disappeared before the guns
of pot hunters. Missouri has law
which partly protects quail, but it is
too lax. There ought to be a law
prohibiting the shooting of quail at
any time, and every farmer ought to
work for that protection, join
the quail has always been one of the
farmers best friends.
On the quail's bill of fare are 141
species of insects and 129 different
kinds Of weed seeds. The farmer
who thinks the quail damages his
grain is mistaken. The government
biological survey has been studying
the quail closely and asserts that
grain forms only one-sixth of the
food of the quail, and then he eats
only what the reaper leaves behind.
In the crop of one quail were found
101 potato bugs, 100 chinch bugs, IL
squash bugs, IL army worms, IL cut
worms and sos mosquitoes.
The government experts estimate
that in one year pair of quail will
eat 130,905 insects and 10h million
weed seeds harmful to agriculture.
Be merciful to Bob White, then,
and encourage his increase.-Kansas

REV. WARD WON'T RETURN TO
PRATT

Rev. VIM. T. Ward, who was pas

place several years, but was given
I me Pratt charge during the past
year, will not be apt to return to
Pratt. The following article con-
corning him was taken from the
Pratt Tribune:
"The Methodists of Pratt were
shocked beyond measure Sunday
morning when their pastor an
nounced that the official board had
voted against his return to the pas
torate for another year.
"The rank and file of the member
ship have been well pleased with Mr.
Wards ministery. While it was
known that some of the more power
full members of the church were
against him, it was not generally be-
lieved that they could find any
ground for taking action against him
after the splendid record of the year.
Those who are in position to know
are authority for the statement that
the church had made a greater ad-
vance in spiritual things during the
past year than for several previous
years.

When the news of the tremendu-
Gus victory reached Liebknecht, his
simple remark was, Now peace in
Europe is assured" In this proph-
ecy, We know, Liebknecht was
wrong. But who, at the time,
knowing what the party stood for.
could have thought him wrong? Who
would have suspected that the nation
was so lmperlally and enthusiastically
obsessed that not even the voice OF
the people could halt 1t in its pro-
gress towards Armageddon.
Liebknecht's career since that day
of victory In POtsdam, must be read
in connection with the propaganda
on which the election was fought,
and the environment in which he
grew up, In the Reichstag he threw
himself into the fight for democratic
Ideals with an intenseness that as
tonished his associates.
This war;" you said, (which none
of the peoples interested wanted,
was not declared In the interests OF
the Germans or of any other people.
1t is an imperialist war of capitaliza-
ton and domination of the worlds
markets, for political domination of
important quarters of the globe, and
for the benefit of bankers and manu-
facturers. From the viewpoint Of
the race Of ornaments it Is pre-
ventive war provoked conformity by
the war parties of Germany and Aus
tria In the obscurity Of semi-absolut-
ism and secret diplomacy. 1t is also
a Bonaparte like enterprise tending
to demoralize and destroy the grow
ing labor movement. That much is
clear despite the cynical stage man
agement designed to mislead the peo-
pie. This is not defensive war.

against the annexation schemes
against the complete forgetfulness Of
social and political duties as shown
by the government ruling classes"
Well, Karl Llebknecht is his
fathers son. When he tried to make
that protest in the Reichstag, he
probably remembered all that his
father had stood for In the history Of
democracy.
Liebknecht has been called 1.-THE
stormy petrol of the Reichstag." How
much better it is to call him, as he
has been called frequently since the
war began, 1.-The bravest man in Eu-
rope" For that is what he is. Most
of us feel that the great war Is going
to be fought out to a finish. But,
we like to see man holding out for
principle.

out for his. That's brave. Is there

Jewish worshipers of Yom Kippur
left their synagogues long enough
last night to punish forcibly an
l. w. w. meeting at Taylor and

prayers.
Some time" ago the Industrial
Workers of the World contracted
with the Workers Institute, 900 S.
Ashland blvd, for use of the institute
hall for a dance and lecture last
night. At that time no one noticed
that the date was that of Yom Kip
pur. When this was discovered He
brew members of the institute want
ed the contract cancelled, but at a
mass meeting of the Hebrew mem
bers Of the institute it was decided to
make good on the contract.
Then other Jews went to City
Sealer Morris EIler, who in turn laid
their protest before Building Com'r
Bostrom, who at the eleventh hour
condemned the Workers institute as
unsafe for such a meeting and sent
police to keep the meeting from be-
ing held.
Unable to get into the institute,
Ben Reitpan, led the band of Indus
