PROTECTING THE BIRDs.

For a considerable time the migratory bird law has been before the supreme court of the United States awaiting 9. . decision as to it's constitutionality, the matter having gone to the court on the plea that it interfered with state rights and therefore should be declared ineffec- tive. ',
 This law was passed for the purpose of protecting the birds which move from one part of the country to the other as the seasons change. These migratory birds are of much importance in the protection of our crops and our>forests, to say nothing of the pleasure that they give. In many states they are protect ed by laws. In others they get the pro- teetion they deserve because of their known and recognized worth, but in some they are the targets of pothunters who care nothing for what they do so long as they are provided with something to shoot at, and who seem to get pleas ure out of slaughtering birds that are easy to shoot because of the considera- tion they receive in many states. It is because of the way fin which these pot hunters have operated that many of the | OAA the verge of it.
 The law in this country supports the treaty between this country and Great
 Britain relative to the migratory birds which go from here into Canada and vice versa and the uphoiding of the censti- nationality of the law means that there will be federal protection for the birds instead of trying to rely. upon state ac- tion, when one state might be favorablJ inclined and it's neighbor urinterested ol hnether lukewarm. in its protective
 measures.
 According to the majority opinion ot
 the court the birds, because of a
 stay in any one state, can hardly bt

Guatemala is apparently in a mood to receive congratulations. It feels like a youngster who has been freed from a long period of unpleasant memories and sees the promise of brighter days ahead.
 This is due to tbe9 ending of the pres idency of Estrada Cabrera by strong arm methods but. action which was con sidered necessary to emerge from the dictatorial control of the regime which has held that country under an iron rule for more than a score of years. In view of the high handed control it is not surprising that the change came about as it did but how defiant Cabrera was of the determination to oust him was shown by his ordering the bornbardment of the capital where hundreds of lives were needlessly sacrificed.
 Cabrera apparently owes his downfall to himself and to his view of the au- thority and power of president of that republic..=-L a little czar he has di. reeted the affairs of Guatemala. He has patterned after other heads of republics in that part of the world who have felt called upon to keep their places through forcing their people to fear them. The result has been, that while everything appeared to be serene on the surface such was far from the fact. Unjust ad, vantage has been taken of the popula. ton and the right to vote has been dis. terted into 9 meaningless function guided as it was by those in control Cabrera had been piling up opposition for long term: That he fully under stood the extent of the disfavor in whiel he stood is shown by the fact that ht never appeared among the people of tht country. He in fact maintained a gov ernment which might be expected to de velop distrust and dangerous opposition and bring about just such an ingloriou end as he has experienced. His down fail will not be mourned at home anc not by the neighbors who have followed | the career of the unpopular presiden who persisted in forcing his rule upol the people. His conduct of the gov l ernment invited the very method takel | to oust him.

DEALING WITH LUNArIcs.

Not solely because Of the place of att tack. but because of the lack of any reason and the way 1t was done the murder of Dr. MarlSoe in 8 New York church directs attention to the way in which those who are of unsoHnd mind are regarded as to being allowed their liberty
 There are many instances where the unfortunate person is not inclined to violence. or if such mania exists 1t is quite as often the disposition to harm self rather than someone else, but there are repeated instances where those who have been regarded as perfectly safe and who have progressed long way toward recovery have been allowed to 20 home from institutions only to result in even worse tragedies than this which occur red in New York
 Tn the case of the slayer of the emil nent surgeon. a total stranger, there is presented the instance of the insane man who had been afpatient in three insane hospitals, from two of which he escaped but in none of which apparently was he regarded as a dangerous person or DOS. sessed of homicidal mania. This is disclosed by the statement of the mar himself that 1t was with ease that he escaped since they didn't watch hin very carefully. Yet this same insane man, who carried a revolver, was not considered dangerous enough, in spite o1 6te fact that 1t was understood he need cd institutional care, to keep him un der such restraint that his escape would be impossible.
 It probably Is not the easiest matter to determine whether a per son Is apt to endanger the public ol when his disease may take such a turr In the honicidal direction. And certain ly there is no disposition to see peopl kept within four walls unless safety t, self and others require it. but this yer, case nevertheless emphasizes the fac that too much care cannot be exercise, in seeing that such people arc not per mitted to be at large. It is better tha there should be a prolonged restraint o one than that the lives of many shoul, be endangered.

It wasn't necessary for the dying strike of the outlaw raiiread men to demonstrate to the people of the coun- try the importance of the motor trucks in the transportation of goods, for long as well as short distances. There have been numerous occasions in the pest sev- eral years when it has been shown that this quick means of getting deliveries was getting increased recognition, and congestion on the railroads have necessi- tated a resort to this method Of moving goods. It has had a serious effect upon a profitable part of a trolley eompany's profitable part of a trolley company's business, and there are those who take consideration of the advertising benefit that is gained from the maintenance of motor truck service even when such a method of distributing their goods may involve a greater expense than as if sent by rail
 But the present strike situation has nevertheless awakened some to the fact that large communities are much less at the mercy of those who by their strikes would prevent them from obtaining food and fuel in sufficient quantities. It was not Eldug years dSO liidL llle SuOppiuB Ol railroad traffic was an exceedingly seri- out matter. We have by no means reached the point where it is not today. but it has been realized that motor truck ser vice has developed to the point where it is able 10 greatly reduce the embarrass. ment.

An Appeal That Should Be Respected


 MT. Editor: For number of years some of us who live at Peek's Corner. have taken pride in keeping the little triangle of green at the intersection of the street in good shape, seeing that it was kept free of rubbish, moving wit, lawn mowers, etc.
 For the last year or so, outoists have crossed the green in turning around at this point (although there is plenty of room to go aroupd) in spite of the fact that signs here have been put UT asking them to Please not Cross" 4 new sign was prepared and put in place a day or two ago, but has been run oves and broken.
 As last resort this appeal is made to the public to help keep the old towr beautiful, and let the grass here have chance to grow there.
 Yours truly,
