For a Real Game Law.

III the amendments 10 the statutes
relating to the conservation OF ish
and game in New York State which
were drafted by a committee Of rep
resentatiye farmers and sportsmen
and are now before the legislative
committee are adopted the creation of
an abundant supply Of wild birds will
be only question Of time.
The authors of the proposed law
have endeavored % frame measure
which would be As impregnable as
some Of the fences In the rural dis
tricts which are described as bull
strong. horse high and hog tight"
One Of their most important pro-
visions puts responsibility for the
prosecution Of game law violators on
the State. which would share with the
owner Of lands the fines imposed by
the courts on trespassers One-half
OF the penalty, which for trespass is
yet at 500 fiat, would 20 70 the owner
Of the land Or to those having the
shooting and fishing rights on It..
Formerly penalty Of from SO 70
500 was provided and cases of tres
pass were usually settled on the basis
Of q $40 fine and 81 costs To prose-
cute a trespasscr was the task OF the
owner Of the land, who often became
disgusted because his case fell 10 the
ground when he had 10 prove the
purpose OF the trespass. Convictions
were rare except ia cases In which
fhe trespasser was caught In the act
Of taking fish or game. Under the
proposed amendments the possession
Of rod or gun Is evidence OF the pur-
pose Of the trespass. There will be
an additional fine equal to the amount
of the damage actually done which
viii go to the landowner. The State
police, game inspectors, and oil peace
officers are directed to arrest and
prosecute offenders in the name OF the
State.
A provision which is going to sim.
plify matters for the landowner has
to do with the posting and main
tenance Of trespass signs. II has been
necessary heretofore 20 maintain such
signs and they had to be replaced fire.

to expect from DATo than from any
other Liberal leader, for he had asked
for a thorough reconsideration OF
their more reasonable and conserya-
tive demands.
The assassination OF a Spanish
Premier is not likely to bring about,
as it has been said such an act would
bring about, great revolutionary
change in Spain. Labor Is undoubt-
edly the most intense OF all Spain's
problems, but Barcelona, where the
labor situation Is the most serious
and perplexing, is more concerned IN
securing autonomy for the Catalonian
region than in leading a Spanish re-
volt. The most marked effect of the
death Of Seiior DATo will be In the
loss OF powerful parliamentary
leader.
While it Is true that Spanish
Cabinet is more or less close cor
poration and limited TO the govern
ing class or the nation, II IS also true
that MAURA, CIEEvA and other leaders
could carry through their measures
Of reform only with DAro's @yproval
and sanction. Unless a new strong
man arises to succeed DAro the
Kings interest and influence will very
likely be greatly increased In Spanish
politics. He appears to be more
trusted by the great mass of the peo-
pie Than any other Spauiard. 1t has

The Pennsylvania Cut.

A sweeping reduction of wage or
salary for every man on the payrolls,
from president all along the line. is
the heroic way the great Pennsyl-
yania Railroad with 215.000 employ
ees, proposes to get itself down 70

country down 10 normal.

C0rs have been consolidated and all

And OF all the operating expenses the

AS the railroads have been head

dollar taken in by many OF them
goes into operating expenses. leaving
only 10 cents to pay interest and

My Lady Nicotine in Utah.

Utah is not the first State TO move
against tobacco or single our the
cigarette for particularly harsh treat
ment, but the law just put on its
statute books prohibiting cigarettes
entirely and forbidding smoking of
other forms Of tobacco in public
places appears TO be al least as dras-
tic as any regulation put in force else
where. The details Of the enactment
have not been reported outside the
State, but Utah has reputation for
taking the product Of its Legislature
seriously. Perhaps the new law has
sections against chewing tobacco and
snuff. If It has not, the followers of
tobacco In these forms may count
themselves as lucky.
In Utah, as everywhere else, the
cigarette aroused a degree OF opposi-
ton which overshadows that inspired
by tobacco in any other form. The
allegation that the small paper cylin-
der filed with mild blends of the
weed is unhealthful does not account
for its popularity. Medical opinion
does not hold the cigarette a worse
offender against health than tobacco
in any other form. The fact that
many children Of tender years and
women young and old, who would not
under any circumstances smoke pipe
or a cigar, do use the cigarette ac-
counts for much of the antagonism II
has aroused. All those who reprove
women for smoking vent their anger
on the cigarette, apparently because
many pretty and attractive women
use 1t. If they smoked cigars, cigars
would be the object OF the wrath now
spent on cigarettes.
There was time when the news
that Utah had put the ban on the
cigarette would have brought smiles
OF superiority and commiseratlon 10
the faces Of New Workers.. Those
times are past. Acts against liquor,
snch as Utah's against Ny Lady Nico-
tine, gave the country It's FIRST sug-
gestion or nationwide prohibition.

Uchida's Contradiction of Colby,

Foreign Minister UcHrDA of Japan,
discussing before the Diet the Ameri-
can position regarding the Pacific
mandates. raises nothing less than an
issue of fact as to what Mr.. WILSON'S
Administration did and did not do
In the matter Of the Yap mandate.
Our State Department through Sec
retary CoLBY has advised both the
principal Allies and the League Of
Nations that at the very beginning
OF the mandatory discussions Presi-
dent WILSON specially reserved the
disposal of Yap. Secretary COLBY has
further stated to them that a. no
time has the United States with
drawn or otherwise waived that res
ervation Of our rights. In these cir
cumstances our State Department has
insisted. and insisted properly as well
as vigorously, that the United States
Governments equal partnership in
terests and rights as 1t were, could
not be disposed Of without Its sane
tion and authority. Therefore they
were not disposed Of and the United
States Government does not recog-
nize any such alleged disposal of
them.
Now Foreign Minister UcHIDA
states TO the Diet of his country that,
while President WILSON did protest
when the mandates were first con
sidered. the United States Govern
ment. when the final decisions were
arranging, made no reservations.
Unless there is technical bubble in
the framing Of this explanation so as
TO make il appear that final as
we'll as first" reservation was in
order, but not exercised, Foreign Min
lister UcHIDA's version is different
from Secretary CoLBY's.
But as Secretary CoLBy has dis
tinctly and unqualifiedly stated in his
notes to the allied Powers and to the
League that the United States Govern
ment's rights and interests in the spe-
cific mandate we're never alienated at
any time, and could not be alienated.
there is direct contradiction of our
State Department by Japan's Foreign
Office.
Pending the clearing OF this 'ssue
of fact the American people must
assume that Secretary Colby is right:
and the American Government OF
course will adhere to its stand that
the zap mandate is not definitely de
cIded." as Foreign Minister UcHIDA
puts Il, and Is not going TO be def
nitely decided without our necessary
consent and authority.

Investigating New York.

The administration Of New York
city needs to be investigated by men
OF ability as well as authority, oeeds
10 be reorganized and needs to be
put on a business basis. The admin
istration OF virtually every other
large American city needs the same
treatment to abolish useless Offices,
cut out the dead wood, get solid and
efficient work out Of everybody on
the payrolls and make possible all
the economies and benefits that sound
and competent business management
can bring to any great business or
ganizatlon: for that Is exactly what
municipal government is or ought
to be.
To get this city on such basis un-
doubtedly would mean tens Of millions
Of dollars saved for the taxpayers and
the rent payers OF this great city. 1t
would mean bigger and better things
for the industry and commerce Of the
city, it would mean bigger and better
things for the whole public OF this
city.
But If such a large, cumbersome
and unwieldy thing as q committee OF
twenty three can get down 10 real
action in reasonable time, can keep
on agreeing TO course OF action
after getting down to II, can pull
together, saw wood and deliver re-
suits before it has worn out the pa
tience of the public and outliNcd its
span Of authority. then 1t will hc the
astounding exception that proves the
rule. 1t will, in fact. as an inv. sti-
eating event Of note, consequence ar
value be little short Of miracle.

Playing the Fighting Fish.

There is a keen interest in Western

For Dearer Drugs.

TO THE NEW YORK HERALD: II is
unfair 20 accuse druggists OF pronteering.
There is not profession that suffers
greater imposition than the retail drug
gist There is no country in the world
where a druggist Is less respected than
here. Saying nothing Of his responsible
ity in selling drugs and compounding
them, the number OF hours he puts In
daily at the store is sufficient proof Of
his disqualification as proiteer. AS a
rule profiteers do not work so hard or
such long hours
with the exception OF the chain stores
how many individual druggists have ac-
cumulated fortunes from their drug
stores?
As n matter OF fact drugs are among
the cheapest commodities. II would
perhaps have been far better for the
community had drugs been much more
expensive. II would tend to reduce the
number OF drug lends. A. &. N.
