BIRD LAWS GOOD EFFECTS.

There has been a marked increase In num-
hers of game birds since the enactment OF the
migratory bird law in 1913. This law did not
provide for effective enforcement, but 1t IS
claimed by department of agriculture special
lists interested in this phase OF the work that
fully ninety-fve per cent. of the sportsmen have
abided by the law and refrained from shooting
during the closed seasons. AT the end OF the
five years during which the law was in oper-
alton, y says a government report, state game
commissioners and leading sportsmen were
practically unanimous in their expression that
wild fowl were more abundant than at any
time in the preceding twenty-five years
If this assertion be true, it shows that educa-
ton and moral suasion are sometimes more ell
fective in securing results than rigid enforce
rlent of a law.
1t is pointed out as one means OF ensur1ng
greater protection of migratory birds, that uni
form game laws should be enacted by all the
states, conforming and cooperating with the
federal law Much has already been done along
this line, twenty five states having revised their
game laws relating to open seasons for Wild
fowl to conform to the federal seasons.
The bird lover sportsman, farmer, and many
other citizens, for esthetic and economic rea
sons and for the sport they give, are interested
n the conservation of the wild fowl and song
birds and will gladly cooperate with the gov
eminent in the enforcement of any reasonable
law that aims to secure protection for these
feathered friends of man.

TOBACCO NEXT?

New York Independent: On July /
alcohol is to make its final bow and
retire gracefully from the American
scene. Already we hear that plans
are under way to convince the Ameri-
can people that tobacco should fol-
low suit. What about it? Is 1t a
parallel case? Ought we who have
strongly favored the prohibition OF
the manufacture and sale of alcoholic
drinks to use our influence also for
the prohibition Of the growing and
sale Of tobacco?
We do not think so. 1t Is not a
parallel case.
Who ever heard OF man commit
ting murder OF rape or felonious as
sauIt while under the influence Of
tobacco?"
Who ever heard of mans chill
dren going without shoes because he
spent all his money on-tobacco?
Who ever heard Of woman's ruin

HAVE 40 CENTS LEFT.

Cedar Rapids Republican: In Chi
cago one of the wildcat companies
has turned up with liabilities of
S2,50O,0 900 and assets of just forty
eight cents. Nearly sixteen thousand
shares were sold-in addition to
what the originators of the company
awarded themselves free and gratis
The stock that was sold was nearly
all taken by what are called the poor
people, persons who had a hundred
dollars or two hundred saved up and
probably invested in Liberty loans.
They put those hard-earned savings
into the scheme and the organizers
and manipulators stole it all.
This particular concern was an
other oil company. So many spec
tacular fortunes have been made in
oil that it is comparatively easy
matter to get people excited about
new oil companies. The public has
come to believe that oil spells gold
and that every oil company makes
money. when as matter of fact
Ininety-nine out of a hundred have
either been fakes or swindles or
have come to naught. One woman
confessed that she had bought the
stock because while its par value
was given as 81 a share, they were
willing to sell it to her for twenty
icents-why not exchange twenty
cents for a hundred cents?
Another investor" said that he
was tempted because it was stated
in their literature that the concern
was incorporated under the laws of
the District of Columbia enacted by
congress and approved by the presi-
dent of the United States" He
actually believed that legend meant
that the president had personally in
iyestigated and recommended that
company to the people. OF course 1t
meant nothing of the kind, but it is
SO easy to deceive the people with
such language.
But when the two and a half mil
lion dollars had been paid in, it was
found that only forty-eight cents re-
manned in the treasury-they had
stolen the rest under one disguise or
another-and that was one fifteen
thousanth of one per cent. of all that
they had feeced the suckers out Of
Such are the sad facts and we feel
that we ought 10 print them again,
but viii they do any goodwill not
| the suckers continue to bite, no mat
ter how many warnings are given?

could not control his appetite

could not control his appetite and
stop smoking?
Who ever heard of wife and
children dreading the husband and
fathers return on Saturday night
because he was sure to have smoked
too much as soon as he got his pay
envelope?
Smoking may be an unwise habit
1t is unquestionably bad for the i'm
mature. The nonsmoker may be
healthier, more thrifty, more pleas
ing to the senses Of his near asso-
ciates, more efficient, longer lived
But we do not believe that taken by
end large the smoking of tobacco is
such a menace to society that the
smokers supply Of the weed"

of governmental action. That is pre-
cisely what we have believed-and do
believe-about the drinking of alco-
hol. But not about tobacco. That Is
another story.

GOVERNMENT RUMMAGE SALES.

The government is offering thousand
Liberty motors fer sale at bargain prices; this
is the first lot of the ten thousand 1t has to SELL
The advertising of these motors is remarkably
frank They will not do far automobiles be-
cause they are too heavy and develop more pow
er than is needed They would do nicely for
,notorboats but the tax on such craft just now
is prohibitive They are deterlorating rapidly
and the government wants to sell at once. WHAT
can they be used for-these famous Liberty en-
aines? 1t looks as if they were destined for
junking.
Also. there is offered a lot of wooden steam
ships lying at the docks of Boston. These yes
sells are part of the fleet of carriers that was
Eeralded as to 'ibridge the ocean, and carry
food and supplies to the poples of the allied ma
tons The controversy over the wooden ship
question is fresh in memory and it led to the vol
untary retirement of General Goethals as head
OF the federal shipping board. This entire lot
Of carriers now goes under the hammer. Fine
business
Then the government has lot of INT for
sale which it desires to dispose of to farmers
who are clearing large tracts of land. Where
are there farmers who are just now clearing
large tracts of land7 If the soldiers were given
the chance which Secretary Lane tried to have
given them and choose to take advantage of it.
they might be in the market for INT and might
be in some degree good men to handle it. But
The plan and its financing fell by the wayside.
There is a lot more included in the government
list at its rummage sales. The trouble with the
sales is that the war truck which is on hand
does not fit we'll into the needs Of these days of
peace which are not peaceful enough as yet to
lead the people to buy bargains on speculation.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT,

Cedar Falls Record: Marshal Foch
harbors no delusions as to the pacific
intentions OF the Germans He pro
poses that the allies shall make it
impossible for German army to
cross the Rhine fifty years from
now Wise old man! Human nature
Is not altered by scratch OF the
pen.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: Anyhow,
there is one thing the United States
is going to get out OF the peace con-
gress--that's our president. He's
coming home.
Cedar Rapids Republican: Perhaps
we should not judge TO what extent
we ought to interfere in world affairs
by the present disturbed conditions
in this same world. Five years from
now, when the nations and races
have again reached some angle of
rest, everything may look entirely
different.
Davenport Times: Senator Kenyon,
ON the eve of his departure for San
Juan, lets it be known that in his
opinion the American flag will never
be lowered in Porto Rico. Never is
long time-but the senator may be
right at that.
Marshalitown Times Republican:
Burleson should make the most of
the interim between now and the as
sembling Of congress, for congress is
just aching TO get at him.
Perry Chief: Summing it all up,
the newspaper which warted to name
the governor has lost and the man
who made the fight for the news
paper has, and the governor has
lost and the state has lost. Truly it
is a great game
Cedar Rapids Gazette: All the real
good that has been accomplished [by
the general assembly, amounts to SO
little that it might have been done
in ten days and the state saved many
thousands Of dollars.
Davenport Democrat: The victory
garden is quite as essential as the
Victory loan.
Perry Chief: Every member of the
Iowa Legislature will be asked by his
wife if he was one of the men mixed
UP in the girl scandal in Des Moines,
and every legislator will reply that
he was not.

COLONEL. ROOSEVELT.

America still has a Colonel Roosevelt Heir
to an illustrious name and to a measure as yet
undetermined Of bis fathers conspicuous abil-
tiles, an equally ardent protagonist, as would
appear, of social justice and fair dealing, in
tensey patriotic and American to the core, he
follows naturally in the path his father blazed
and may go far along it.
History tells of sons who have equaled or sur
passed distinguished fathers but those are very
rare exceptions to the rule. The reason there
for is far from clear and the disappointment of
parents who have been notable achievers at the
impotence or inadequacy of their offspring has
been acute. Nothing explains it to their salts
faction. The most that can be said is that it is
possible for father distinguished by virile
qualities to leave son. Of equal distinction to

SHARED.
Some things there be that are better shared
A cottage fire; table spread;
A country road and the evening hush,
And gardens tresed and garlanded
The hunter lies by his forest flame
Content with his luck and lonely fare;
But the rosy hearth burns best for Two
And milk and honey are sweet to share
The dreamer and pioneer may seek
The painless plain and the distant hill .
But better the iightlocked hands of Love,
Where friendly lane winds green and sun
And though the wand'rer by sunward sea
silently watches the dawn unroh,
rearer at dusk are the Twain, and shy
Voices interpreting soul to soul.
Rosebordered ways where the moon looks down.
And Jasmine vines where here light Is shared,
Fulfill bat half hearts desire
Gardens are better shared.
