SACRIFICING?

Among the principal founders of this fund the
names Mrs. Russell Sage, dead John ID. Archbod
Standard Oil magnate, dead; Andrew Carnegie, dead;
IN Memoriam'' of Boston, probably dead Samue.
Thorne, dead Howard M Hanna, dead We wonder
if these people actually sacrificed their lives in the
interest of wild life protection The pomp and cir
cumsance Of their place in the financial world would
indicate that their money contributions did not con
stitute very burdensome sacrifices
After all it is not more likely that their interes

True-Blue Americanism.



The other day Franklin X. Lane, former Secretary
in President Wilson's cabinet, speaking
with reference to autocracy in high places and the
developing subserviency and snobbishness of official
underlings happily called attention to an excellent
way in which to preach Americanization. He would
have visualize the life of any man of distinction
who has achieved greatly in his land of opportunities
of any who has done things for which the
public is grateful insisting that by such visuaza-
ton most effectively preaching Americanza-
ton Such preaching need not be put in the form
OF propaganda, the less journalistic the better. He
would have show by the life of America what
Americanism is. He tells us truly that cannot
cram dogmas and doctrines down the threats of the
people and ask them to memorize Lincons Gettsburg
speech, and then declare them to be Americans. We
desire the people of the United States to feel a love
for America because of what has been done and be-
of the future possibilities of man in this
country.
Our own people and all those who to us
should feed fires of patriotism by studying deeply the
men, and their deeds, who have made America truly
great among the nations of the earth We appeal
not to sentiments of hero-worshp, but to the sense
OF gratitude and appreciation, from which develop
high pride and the spirit of sacrifice and devotion

WHAT CONGRESS- DID FOR EX-SERVICT

J. w Rixey Smith. in the American Leg
Weekly, sums up the attitude of Congress tow
older legislation in its last session as fellows:
'sFrom a Congress that spent the major
portion of its time talking peace anu made
no peace that kept nearly fifty per cent of
its membership busy with Investigations that
led in every instance to set of futile parti-
san reports, that could pass nearly two whole
days wrangling over the number of slaves in
peach basket and then repeal all war leg
islation in fifteen minutes that had me eve
glued on the approaching November elections
and whose wall motto was as evidenced by
the avalanche of eleventh hour legislation
shot through heller skelter in its closing
hours, never to do today what could be put
off suntil tomorrow'-frOm such a Congress
it is hardly necessary to say, little was to be
expected in the way OF laws for the aenedt
of the nearly five million eX-seryice men and
women, laws that would TO some extent re-
move the inequalities and injustices the
hardships and handicaps, incident and conse

 You must limit your whiskey drink
 ing to three ounces a day" ordered the doctor. The man promised to drink only three ounces of whiskey a day and went away. A week later the mans wife called in the doctor The man had the q. t.'s and was in bad shape from drinking too much whiskey. For Heavens sake how many whiskies did he drink day?' demanded the doctor. Forty eight,

 The sinking of the Grand Trunk liner Prince Rupert again directs attention to the need for tinued coast survey work in Northern waters.
