Spare the Birds

Spare migrating birds" is warning
just issued to sportsmen by Frederick A.
Eaton, assistant United States district
attorney at Detroit. The message Is also
intended to reach the juvenile who is
preparing to 60 forth this spring In
search of wild birds.
The law has declared 1t closed season
for the shooting Of migratory game birds,
Mr.. Eaton announces. Flocks even now
are winging their way nOrthward and in
a few weeks there will be many more.
According to the assistant district at
torney, the small boy who interferes with
any of these birds viii be liable to fed
eral prosecution.
The migratory bird treaty act was
framed by congress, following the con-
vention between the United States and
Canada, to protect the Wild fowl that
came within their northern borders dur
ing the summer months. The only per
sq"s e~emptcG ny the treaty are Eski-
oos and Indians on reservations who
eek the birds for food.
Mr. Eaton has received reports from
dominion officials revealing wanton de-
struction of wild birds in fiocks travelling
to their summer shelter, which has re-
suited In the complete extinction OF many
species and the thinning out of others.
1t may soon be necessary. he says, for
the governments of the United States and
Canada TO deny the Eskimos and In
dams the privilege they now hold

MATTED TOO LONG.

II we had gone into the league OF ma
tons when the treaty of peace was
signed Europe would have been able to
go along. cut out her big armies ana
stop building big navies and have PAD
the interest on what she owes us. If the
war had ended the year after the presi-
Dental election, instead Of the year be
fore one, there would have been no
chance to make political capital out of
the treaty and league issue. Now bu-
rope has spent about one-haf as mueh
the first year after the war as she did
during year of the war, and she can't
pay us what she owes US, or the interest
on 1t, or buy goods from us, because she
can't pay.

TEACHERS, WAGES.

Everybody, except "Goodrichism'
knows that teachers are underpaid, and
that their wages must be raised.
"Goodrichism" is absolutely Responsible
for the tuition and special school funds
of Anderson city schools hraying den-
cit. Both of these funds are dead oroke
that is. they'have now deficit OF ABOUT
900 each. This is caused by dood-
rich's state tax board cutting down the
local levy from what the school board
fixed it.
The school board can again TX the
levy Sept. /, 1920. But who can say
that Goodrichism will let 1t stand! Many
school units are short of funds. The
state tax board is responsible.
There is only one way to obtain higher
and just wages for teachers, and that IL

The government is urged by the
newspaper to dissolve municipal ad-
ministration which has become a nest
of impudent criminalty.
"If municipalities, it continues,
"are allowed to substitute bombs for
laws, we might as well open all prison

HARDING STUDYING
PRACTICAL WORKING
OF PANAMA CANAL
(By Associated Press)

CRISTOBAL, Can Zone, Nov. "a
Senator Warren G.. Harding, United
States president-elect, gave up golf
and motoring this morning to make a
personal study of the practical work
ing of the Panama canal. He planned
to leave here at $3.50 o'clock on a gov
ernment mine sweeper and looked for
ward to leisurely journey through
the waterway.
His trip was more than sightsee-
ing expedition. Stops were arranged
at Gatun lock and at other points to
permit close inspection of problems Of
canal maintenance and management.
this inspection being one of the big
reasons for Mr.. Harding's trip to the
canal zone.
Mr.. Harding has taken a keen in
terest in the future of the canal and Is
known to believe it to be one of the
outstanding national assets as regards
foreign cmomerce. During the debate
in congress relative to the canal, the
problem of tolls for American ships
received his particular attention, his
strong conviction for free passage for
American ships having been express
ed many times both in congress and
in his speeches during the last cam
paign.
Col. Chester Harding governor of
the canal zone accompanied him on
the trip and tonight will be his host
at a dinner at the Pacific terminal of
the canal. The dinner will be follow
ed by public reception and the party
will remain on the Pacific coast until
Friday. Mr.. Harding will attend a
dinner given by President Porras of
Panama at the palace Thursday night.
When he arrived here yesterday Mr..
Harding found a program of enter
tainment prepared for him which
would have given him little time for
recreation. Officials of the canal zone
and the republic of Panama submit
ted plans for a series of functions in
his honor and the president-elect indi-
Gated he would accept as many invita-
tions as practicable.
The steamer Parismina was well
coined into the harbor by a swarm of
army airplanes and several submar-
ines which met her three miles out
and conveyed her to her dock. A large
crowd cheered the president-elect and
his wife, and a formal greeting was
extended by Governor Harding, Briga-
dier Gen. Kennedy and Rear Admiral
Johnson, commanders, respectively, of
military and naval forces in the
canal zone.
MEXICO CITY. Nov 24-President-
elect Harding will stop at Vera Cruz
enroute to the United States from
Panama unless unforeseen circum-
stances prevent, said a statement is
sued at the Mexican foreign office
last night. The statement added that
assurance had been given that Senator
Albert B. Fall of New Mexico, would
probably arrive here next Monday to
attend the Inauguration as president
of Mexico of General Alvaro Obregon.
