When, however. we stood on the fact that

itself to do away with all such tyranny.

No cabinet member has worked harder
for the national cause, or with more
praiseworthy self-restraint IN the matter
of pretentions activity. Nobody IN that
quarter has profted more quickly and

And in the evening light of the war the
earnestness OF his patriotic purpose

done arc clearly visible.

Game LEGISLATION.

Judging by letters that have been
printed in the papers recently, and also
considerable amount Of editorial com
ment, the Legislature at its coming
session viii be asked TO make amend
ments to the laws regulating the protec-
tion and killing of game. One suggestion
is that a license for cunning be required
OF resident as well as nonresident g,inners.
We must confess TO an ignorance of
the merits Of the discussion as TO licensing
the killing of game. That it should be
permitted without restriction is some
thing not to be thought of Speaking
from the point OF view OF those who care
nothing for the sport OF killing game, we
feel convinced that the trend of leFiria-
tion should he IN the direction of pre-
serving. rather than opening the door to
further killing. especially IN respect of
birds
For years there has been a decrease in
birds in this State, not an increase
excepting, possibly, IN respect of the
pcstiferous inglish sparrows For awhile,
our old friend Robin Rcdhreast was
conspicuous IN many places by his absence.
Last spring. however, he seemed TO be
more numerous The beautiful bluebird
Is now very much of a stranger.

study of the subject that our birds are

therefore, that the first consideration

them an opportunity TO become plentiful

is a matter OF conjecture, but it may
safely be assumed in advance that the
regulation condition will prcvail-many
idle houls for more than half of the allotted
time, and then rush of business that
will clog the calendars and compel the
members to work feverishly during the
closing hours in order TO dispose of it.
And with. valuable time wasted each
day by members rushing home in the
afternoon and not returning until 10
O'Clock the next morning, the evil Of the
situation will be vastly increased.
Come, now, gentlemen of the Legislature,
make up your minds to inaugurate n
reform at the coming session. The
Legislature of 1917 made slight start
in this direction, but did not go very
far. Make the coming session memorable
in this respect. If you do, you may close
your labors with record TO be proud
of--of legislation not enacted with n
rush and without due consideration,
thereby mourning the liability to serious
mistakes, but every measure carefully
being acted upon You can do this if
YOU will
And it would be something 10 be proud
of something that would rebound to
the credit of the Legislature and the
benefit of the State.

SOLDIERS DISSATISFIED.

Some dispatches from France represent
that among the American soldiers general
resentment is felt over the action of Con-
ress in passing the bone-dry prohibition
and other acts. concerning which voters
in the army believe they should have
had a voice Threats of reprisal are hesrd
:gainst individual members of Congress 7
But it was not intended that the men IN
the army should have any voice. The
reason for the extreme haste of the Prohi-
bitionists was their determination to get
prohibition riveted upon the country by
means Of q change in the Constitution
while two million voters were out of the
country, fighting for it, The managers of
the prohibition campaign are working IN
feverish haste to get their amendment
ratified before the soldiers get home

PRESS COMMENT.
RESPONSIBILITY OF TWO MEN.

Whatever international significance may
attach to London's reception 10 President
Wilson, the,momcntosB event Of his viEit
to England must necessarily be his meet
ing with Lloyd George and the discussion
that follows.
1t may be doubted if any other two man
ever shared so large a measure of personal
responsibility rs the President of the
United States and the Prime Minister
of England at this time. They are the
two recognized spolSesmen of democracy
that has overthrown autocracy and
absolutism, but unless they speak the
same language and interpret the victory
in the same terms, the fruits of the triumph
will have been largely wasted and mankind
will have been cheated and defrauded
in the house of its nominal protectors.
Efforts have been made on both sides of
the Atlantic by American and British
Junkers to drive a wedge between the
President and the Prime Minister, but
this work of mischief will count for nothing
unless Mr.. Wilson and MIR. Lloyd George
aid and abet it themselves. They are
not dealing with their private and personal
affairs, but with the destiny of mankind,
and there is no issue involved in the Peace
Conference about which those two men
are not capable of coming to an agreement
il they set their minds and their hearts
to that task An agreement between
them means an agreement between the
American and British governments, with
all that such an understanding implies
to human liberty and human security
for the future.
There are two points of difference that
are really important in comparison with
the points on which these two great leaders
of modern democracy must inevitably
be in accord by reason of the principles
and policies that each has so long cham
pioned.-New York World.

BALL PLAYERS BOBBING UP.

We are facing long winter, but in
spite of that fact the air IS already full of
|rumors regarding the many things that
! are to happen in the baseball world next
| spring and summer. The war cast damper
on the sport, but there is every reason to
| believe that it is TO be revived upon Il
greater scale than ever.
In the meantime, it looks as ii some OF
the stars of the diamond had press agents
who are determined to vie with the
publicity men of the grand opera stage.
Tyrus Cobb, the Georgia Peach, returning
from abroad, announces that he is through
with the game. He has reached the age,
so we are informed, when 1T will be nee
essary for him to secure some table EN-
ployment which will promise him sufficient
financial returns TO insure the future OF
his family. " hen we pause and think
that Tyrus has an income from baseball
much larger than the salary of a Governor
Of State OF United States Senator, we
wonder whether be is pokIng fun at the
great American public.
Again our old friend, j. Franklin Baker,
the "home run king, sends word from the
reeesses of Trappe, Maryland, that he
will not play professional ball next sea-
son. The popular idol who helped TO bring
more than one pennant to Philadelphia
says that while he has received fiattering
offers from different clubs for his ser
vices in 1919, he has decided to remain
at home with his family and cultivate his
farming interests. The fact that Franklin
made the same statement IN previous years
and was afterwards iured back to the dia-
mond, will make many of the fans skepti-
cal Maybe the fiattering offers he mentions
have not been quite fattering" enough
