COMMUNICATION
GLOBE, ARIZONA,
November 80, 1917.

EDITOR GUARDIAN:-Now that
all the criminal cases arising out
of the recent strike in the Globe
Miami district have been dismis-
sed, may | be permitted to ex-
press to the people of Graham
county, through their most rep
resentative organ of publicity,
my sincere appreciation of the
many courtesies shown me dur
ing my recent sojourn in Stafford.
found your people hospitable,
your courts fair, your juries con-
scientious. The jurors in all the
cases tried in Stafford expressed
themselves as being much in
sympathy with the individual
defendants and with their under
signed counsel, so much so, in
fact, that | was reminded of the
old poem, an excerpt from which
reads as follows:
81 know it was fair to dissemble your
Love, ... .... ..
But why did you kick me downstairs?'
In conclusion, allow me to
commend The GUARDIAN upon
the fair and able manner in which
it narrated the occurrence of
these trials and to wish for it
and for it's readers the fullest
measure of success.
Let us hope that the bitter
lessons learned through the re-
cent industrial troubles will tend
to bring home to both capital and
labor a realization of the tre-
mendous responsibilities imposed
upon them during the period of
our war with autocracy as ex-
emplifed by the Hohenzollern
dynasty.
Respectfully yours,
FRANK MCCANN.

Identifying the Sparrow.
indianapolis News)

There is still a great deal of talk
about Kidding the country Of the Eng
lish sparrow. It has been proposed
at one time or another to shoot him,
poison him and trap him. Efforts
have been made to organize the en-
tire country in campaign Of exter-
mination. And some very enthusiast
tic sparrow opponents have even ad-
vocated an abandonment of all public
and private efforts to feed the birds In
the hope that starvation would put an
end to them. Something of that sort,
possibly, might be achieved by any of
the plans suggested. Incidentally,
however, fact that seems to have
escaped the observation Of the spar
row enemies-other birds, not regard
ed as pests. would suffer also.
The "appeals'' thus far made to the
public have met with very little re-
Spouse. Most of us are not at all sure
liam he is said to be. Indeed, there is
some very good evidence In his ia
vor. In two or three places in Eu-
| rope. for instance. the English spar
| row was driven out completely, only to
be imported again when farmers
| found that with his exit there entered
an insect pest that almost devoured
| their crops. And most of us are still
! aware that birds held only few years
| ago to be without a quality in their
! favor have since been included in the
! list of mans best friends and allies.
| However, putting aside considera-
| ton of the possibility that the Eng
| lish sparrow has been misjudged, how
many persons really know this spe-
| cies of sparrow from the other nu-
merous species? How many, ready to
i shoot, or poison or trap, can distin-
guish between the English sparrow
and say, the song sparrow, the tree
sparrow the field sparrow and the
chipping sparrow? The points of diff
ference, except to the trained orni-
biologist, are not by any means OBJ
vious. Says an authority on the sub
ject: MANY species of sparrows will
at first appear exactly alike to be-
ginner."
So, until all Of us are able to iden-
tify the various species. the advocates
of determination should be held in
check. An attempt to eliminate the
English sparrow, even if he is the pest
he is said to be-a premise that still
remains to be established-would re-
suit, under the circumstances. in
more harm than good. If anyone
doubts this let him spread a few
crumbs on the snow, winter mornings
and observe the SparroWs that feed on
them He will be surprised to observe
that the birds he has ordinarily been
classifying as English sparrows bear
markings that identify them as spar
rows Of another species.

. The Buffalo Coming Back.
New York SUM

Tho American bison, or buffalo. 10
inoreas1ng in number. according to
the annual reort Of the biological sur
vey. and the danger OF complete ex-
tincton, that once threatened, appar-
emily no longer exists.
The rescue of the buffalo from the
slaughterers is one Of the most In
teresting of our attempts at conserva-
ton. 1t is estimated that at one time
within the past century there were as
many as 100000 Of these great. I'M
wteldly creatures on the North Amer
lean continent; early travellers tell OF
herds that were days In passing, that
halted steamboats, on the upper Mis-
souri, and stopped wagon and railway
trains on the western plains. The
number killed by the Indians in their
hunts was not equal to the natural In
crease of the herds
The slaughter began when the rail-
roads crossed the prairies and opened
up unexplored tracts to the hide hunt
ers. Thousands were killed merely
for a slice of their hump or tongue.
For years hunters sold an average of
100000 hides annually. In 1889 the
number Of American bison, wild and
captive, was only 1901. There are
now, perhaps, in North America as
many as 1000. The largest herd is in
the national park at Wainwright, AL
berta. This city, with about fifty in
Its two largest parks, has as large
herd as there is in some of the western
reservations.
The buffalo was the most numerous
and valuable animal of this country.
It's flesh was sun dried in great guam
titles and made excellent beef; the
bones, horns and sinews were all util-
lied, and the hide was made into
lodges. harness, canoes and winter
clothing. Buffalo meat cannot be
bought. and a hide, which once sold
for a few dollars, would cost 800.
Had the buffalo been conserved In
time instead Of being SO ruthlessiy
slaughtered 1T would today have had
an economic value to the country diff
cult to overestimate.

The Importance Of infant welfare
work cannot be overestimated. The
future welfare of the city itself de-
ponds in no small measure upon the
health Of the little ones of the present
time. Children we'll cared for now
insure to the city of the future good
healthy men and women. The foun-
dalton has been laid for brilliant
achievement. The five years gone by
are as nothing to what the years Will
bring after this; but they spell the
establishment Of a permanent associa-
ton that has for its object the great
est good for the raoe.-the welfare Of
tho little ones. New Britain can justly
be proud OF tho work thus far 40
oomphshed. The future promises
even better things along the same line.

The life story Of Frank J. Rice,
four times mayor of New Haven, who
died yesterday, should be source of
inspiration to every American youth.
Mr.. Rice started In life at the extreme
bottom Of the ladder and by dint OF
perseverance climbed to the top. In
a city that harbors one Of the great
est educational institutions in the ma
ton it is no mean feat for a man of
limited learning to stand as head of
the government. Yet Rice did this
and succeeded in giving the people a
good clean, honest reign. He was ad-
m1red even by his political enemies.
The lesson of his life Is that there
is nothing the American boy cannot
do If he sets out to do it in the
proper way and with the right spirit
