our American political institutions
depends on the intelligence of our

of the State for birds, fish and game
and the act authorizes the commits
sioner of inland fisheries and game
to set apart preserves as he may
deem advisable on petition of IS or
more interested citizens of the State

I'm it's scope and intents, it is
considered the most important con-
seryation measure affecting the wild

will meet with general approval of
all those interested in conservation

THE BERGDOLL AFFAIR
A DIRTY SHAME

The United States spent thir-
ty billion dollars in money and
2 half million of her sons gave
their lives to make the world
safe for democracy. In order to
equalize the burden on every
body the draft law was enacted
and under its operation an ar
my of ten million men were as
sembled, the bravest and best
equipped army that ever the
sun shone on. There were GER
tain pro-Germans who bitterly
opposed the draft law and
sought to evade it.
The arch-fiend of these slack
ers was Grover C. Bergdoll, a
Philadelphia millionaire WHO
was able to tour the country in
a high-powered Cadillac car
and finally succeeded in escap-
ing to Canada and thence to
Germany. Two weeks ago
Frank Haef and Carl Zimmer
former army detectives, az
tempted to capture Bergdoll
and a week later they were
sentenced to prison in a Ger
man court. II is a dirty shame
The Harding administration
thru the work Of the whiskered
man, Charles Evans Hughes, is
carrying on negotiations for the
release of Haef and thinner, so
they say. Did the half-milllon
men who died for democracy
stop for negotiations? If Haef
and Zimmer serve a single day
of their prison terms Messrs.
Harding and Hughes will hear
a howl from the eX-service men
such as they have never heard
before. If the sacrifice of NOR
ey and blood meant anything
these men should not be all)w-
ed to languish in a German
prison. More than that the U.
S. government should demand
the return of Bergdoll and he
should be given a much-deserv-
ed sentence to Ft. Leavenworth.

LEPROSY OIL CURE SUCCESS
Need for Mission Near Honolulu De-
ereases-To Abandon II
In Few Years

Honolulu, T. H.-The Catholic leper
mission on the island of Molokai,
where Father Damien passed the
greater part OF his life and eventually
died of the disease. and where Brother
Dutton and others Of his faith now are
at work, probably will be abandoned
in the course of few years, owing TO
the great success Of the chaulmoogra
oil treatment of the lepers, according
to a statement by Brother Louis Lei
son, who for twenty-five years has
been stationed at the leper mission.
Five years ago the mission at Ka-
Iaupa, island of Molokai, had from 125
to 100 inmates, while today it has but
63, Brother Louis said. Virtually no
new cases have been received during
the last few years.
The mission, which was established
in the sixties and In which the Catho-
lie priests shortly after took up their
work, Is supported by appropriations
from both the territorial and federal
governments. All>leper work on the
island including that of the mission,
is directly under the supervision of the
territorial board of health.
