leading statement has hecently become
current in newspapers Of the Missis
sippi Valley and elsewhere. to the eft
feet that the Department of Agricul

the Federal regulations under the Mi

has enabled sportsmen. under State
laws, to shoot wild fowl the coming

Under the Federal regulations as
they now stand, the season on all mi
gratory wild fowl is closed until next
autumn throughout the United States
Federal inspectors and warlens arc

protection of wild fowl, are requested
to report to the Department Of Agri

The Department Of Agriculture has
no power to suspend the law or to par
don violations of the regulations
Doubtless the erroneous impression
Gil which the newspaper statements
are based. has grown out Of the pend

tho regulations we're promulgated

October, 1915, but has not been decid

for the purpose of continuing the en-

ings of our diplomats than to involve
the whole country in the tragedy CT
unnecessary and unrighteous war.
What is popular government for if not
for use in such emergencies?
In 1893, the president and his dip.
lomats did not want war. The people
wanted it and they made their will
known through congress. The pres.
ident yielded cheerfully. If, in 1916,
the president wants war. and the peo-
pie do not agree with him, they should
have their ways just as they did in
1898. Their will should be made known
through congress, as it was in 1898.

suited because congress would not
stand for his antiwar policy. President
Wilson would have no right to feel
personally insulted if congress should
refuse to allow him in a prOWar pol.
icy.
1t is we'll enough to say that the
diplomatic affairs Of the country are
placed in the hands Of the executive
and that neither the public nor its
representatives in congress should do
anything to hamper executive diplo.
macy. This is true only until there
is grave danger that diplomacy must
run into war. When the issue Of peace
or war becomes paramount, 1t should
be decided by congress in behalf Of
the people. There is nothing in our
constitution or in any of the principles
upon which popular government is
founded to justify contention that
war question should be decided in
any other way.
President Wilson is not trying 10
get us into the war. He is trying to
keep us out. But he is engaged in a
game of diplomacy which may end in
war. The president is bluffing. He is
willing to threaten war as a big bet,
confident that his opponent will lay
down his hand rather than call for a
showdown, II congress believes that
the president has weak hand. 1t Qnght
not to encourage him to back it heav-

President Wilson is to have assur.

the cards out OF his hands, but that
assurance will not come in such a way
as TO encourage the president to so
on with his reckless style Of play. IN

The lecture course for next winter
will be under the auspices OF the Ger.

arrangements have already been made by
the company to secure a list Of the
best talent the country affords. The
Redpath Lyceum bureau, of Chicago,
will furnish most of the talent, and it
is needless to say that every number
will be of character to please our
people. The talent selected, in part
at least, is as follows: The Schuman

highest grade; DR.. VIM. Rainey Ben
nett, OF Indianapolis, is another OF the
numbers and is an orator Of superior
attainments; the WetherwaX Broth

hear, is an aggregation that cannot be
surpassed DR.. Charles E. Parker, Of
the city of Washington, has been Sc.

When the president is only threat

no obligation to support him. providing
the war he is contemplating is un.

congress the right to declare war. Con.

the people and is supposed to reflect
the popular will in all matters. The
intent of the constitution plainly was
to avoid war that was not demanded
by the people.
When war becomes a possibility II
is the duty. of every patriot to inform
himself as to the issue and to decide
for himself whether he wants to sup
port the government in war to settle
it. If the diplomatic branch of the
government has become involved in 8

LUCK IN A MISTAKE.
When the Famous Singer Albani First
Went to London.

Went to London.
The curious story Of Nine. Albani's
first London engagement is as follows:
Colonel Mapleson heard Of her singing
at a theater at Malta, and, thinking
that she would be successful, he made
her an offer through an agent of con-
tract to sing In Her Majesty's theater.
She agreed to 1t and went to London.
but on arriving there she told the cab
man to drive her to the Italian opera
house.
He, instead Of going to Her Males
TVS, took her to Covent Garden. which
was also devoted to Italian opera. She
was shown up to the managers Office
and stated that she had come to sign
the contract which Mr.. Mapleson had
offered her.
Mr.. Gye. thinking to play a joke on
his rival, Mapleson. made out con-
tract, and Albani signed 1t. Mr.. Gye
then told her that he was not Colonel
Mapleson. but that he could do much
better by her. He offered to tear up
the contract If she liked, but told her
that Nilsson was singing at Her Maj
esty's and would brook no rival
Albani decided to let the contract
stand and thus became one Of the stars
Of Covent Garden, eventually marrying
the son of Mr.. Gye.-Westminster Ga
zette.
