The love of birds exists in children
II lacks cultivation at present, In
those elder DAYS almost every home
had it's bord house and perhaps more
than one. The black martins knew
their welcome and the wrens had their
dwelling in a tiny house with an en-
trance narrow enough to establish
their right OF ownership. Sometimes
they refused that and found knothole
In q clapboard where they set up
housekeeping, The entrance was never
closed in such circumstances and year
after year the wrens came and nested
and chartered and scolded the cats
from their vantage of safety.
Children and elders we miss a great

quaintance and friendship with the
birds. 1t is not hard thing to win
the confidence of a bird, They know

Teach your children to know and
cultivate the birds for their own great

robbing as a crime has established a
principle that goes farther than the
birds can fly and the lad who cultivates
the protective habit towards birds has
learned the first principle of all fellow

tations of international law There is probably no law
on the subject save. that established by precedent, and
publications have occurred under such diverse conditions
that it is difficult to think Of a general rule that could
be made to apply. In the case Of Russia, however.
Nicholas abdicated for himself and his young son. In
England the law Of entail contained the provision that
father and son acting together could remove the entail
from a piece of property, and thus extinguisa the rights
OF all succeeding generations.
In the German case, however,, we need not trouble
ourselves with the technicaities. for something more i'm
portant will govern. If the German people and the Allied
powers would permit it, the abdications already effected
would be treated as mere scraps of paper. And there ia
no probability that the German monarchy will be re-
stored in any form. Those things have been done, but
the time for them is past.

A SENSELESS EXHIBITION

If the senseless exhibition, which is being made by
a few women in Washington in connection with the suf-
frage campaig has any practical effect at all, that effect
can be only to delay the progress Of the suffrage move
ment. 1t is inconceivahle that anyone should be stimu-
lated to stronger or earlier support of woman suffrage by
the demonstrations Of some Of its Unbalanced advocates
who seek to further their cause by building fires in urns
on the White House lawn, and by Haunting flags bearing
offensive and unpatriotic inscriptions. 1t is coceivable
that some supporters of that movement should turn from
it in disgust when they witness the behavior of some who
pose as it's leaders.
In the recent demonstration the women displayed a
flag on which was an inscription denouncing President
Wilson as a false prophet of democracy" That referred
of course, to the presidents attitude toward woman suf
ident has gone out of his way to aid the suffrage move
ment. His first public expression on the subject, so f1
as is now recalled, was that of a few years ago when hi
maintained that the question Of woman suffrage was one
for the decision of the states rather than of the nation
Later he showed his friendship for the enfranchisemen.

Still later he accepted in full the contentious of those

states, holding that this was of high importance as a wa
measure. Very many people have been unable to concu,
in the opinion that the subject was properly a nationa
one, or in the opinion that it was a war issue. Neyerthc
less, that was the attitude taken by the president, ant
what more could have been asked of him by the wome,
fire kindlers is a mystery. Doubtless that would have ha<
him ignore such a trivial matter as that of a world peac,

daily until the desired resolution was passed.

AN UNABDICATED H0HENz0LLERN

There is a Hohenzollern heir to the German throne
whe has not abdicated, and it is reported that certain Of
the junker faction have him in hiding, ready to be pro-
duced and set on the throne at the proper time. This
scion Of the ancient house is the 1a-year-old Prince Will
helm, eldest son of the ex-crown prince, and grandson of
the former kaiser. A story that comes from Berlin says
that this lad has been carried off by members Of the roy
alist faction. and that while the provisional government
has endeavored to find him, it has failed to do so.
It is known that there is in Germany a remnant of
the old government group which both desires and ex-
poets the restoration of the monarchy. The kaiser alb
.dtcated, and his next heir after him, therefore the young
prince stands next in order. Not being of age it is
pointed out that he cannot abdicate for himself. nor so
1T is held, can anyone abdicate for him. Hence II Is
maintained that from a strictly legal standpoint he i.
.now the king of Prussia and German emperor.
The subject of abdication is one which does not. in

Truck Driver Avoids
Very Serious Accident
Early This Morning

This morning at $40 al accident
occurred which, had it not been for
the presence Of mind of the driver,
might have proved disastrous to both
the truck and the street car.
Driver Emard Of the Pantorium
was backing out of the Sims garage
Or Third street, and did not notice
the University avenue a which was
passing until it was too late to avoid
hitting it. He had slackened speed,
however. which action prevented the
destrusI on of the car.
One window on the street car was
broken and the back of the truck
Slightly damaged.
Because of the cold weather, the
heavy frost on the window was given
as the reason for the driver not see
ing the approaching street car.

THE RAILROAD SHORTAGE

In its operation Of the railroads during 1918 the
government has run behind about $3.50, ooo. 900. Under
the circumstances that seems like a very good showing.
Mr.. McAdoos administration has probably not been per-
feet, but we have been given no reason to believe that 1t
was not as good as that OF any other man would have
been. But the experience of the government during this
full year of operation punctures a number of large and
beautifully opalescent bubbles which some very enthu-
siastic advocates of public ownership have blown.
Shortly after the government assumed control Of ,ne
railroads the wages Of a large number Of the less wei!
paid employees were advanced. They should have been
advanced before, as the compensation Of most Of these
men was totally inadequate under the existing conditions.
At about the same time the salaries of many of the
higher officials were reduced, or these officials were re-
moved entirely from the government payroll. Perhaps
there were too many officials, and perhaps some Of them
were receiving more pay than they were entitled to. Any
way, the combination was full of suggestion to the pub
lie ownership enthusiasts, who Immediately threw up
their hats and exclaimed: Look! See! We are endorsed
and indicated. The government has operated the rail
roads only a few weeks, and already it has effected such
economies by reducing bloated salaries that it is about to
increase the pay of the real workers. Hurrah for gov
eminent ownership" Va.
That was all right as far as it went. But presently
the government announced an put into effect a rs per
cent increase in freight rates, and an increase of some
thing like so per cent in passenger rates. The explana-
ton was that it would need this additional money to pay
expenses. The reason was a valid one. and everyone told
the government to go to it.
But now we find that with these advances. which the
railroads under private operation had not been permitted
to make, and with all the economies resulting from a
unity of control and operation which, under private, the
roads had not been permitted even to approximate, we
have failed $15o,ooo,o 900 short of paying expenses.
Let it be understood that this of itself does not DEM
onstrate that government ownership and operation is not
a good thing. But most emphatically there is nothing in
the history of the past two years that demonstrates that
public ownership is a good thing. We have been operat-
ing under war conditions, and those conditions made it
difficult to operate anything. Under those conditions a
fair test of any great system or method would be prac,
itically impossible. We do know that one of the tenden-
cies Of public ownership is to facilitate the operation OF
the political machine and to lessen the efficiency Of ser.
