TEACHING cANARIES TO SING
May Mot Be Generally Understood
That the Birds Require Special
System OF Training.

A curious but interesting profess
sion is that of the man who teaches
canaries to sing. Such schools are
to be found in various parts Of
Yorkshire and Lancashire and are
well patronized, for, contrary to gen.
eral belief, the unframed canary is
rarely a good songster. The fault
with unframed birds is that they
attempt to initiate every sound they
hear and so frequently spoil their
natural song. At school they are
taught to reproduce perfectly certain
notes produced by 'bird organ
contrivance something like barrel
organ-and one note must be mas
tered before another is learned. The
preliminary course may cover. four
or five weeks and then the promising
pupils are separated from the back
ward ones and exceptionally talented
birds are given special tutor, who
whistles to them or plays tunes on
the flute or fiageolet. The ideal
training gives the bird four distinct
notes: the water note, which, as the
name implies, is a ripping gurgle
like the murmuring of rill; the
whistling note, the flute note and the
rolling note, which is continuous
splendidly rising and fall
ing.-Manchester Guardian.

A Franco-British Alliance

Unquestionaby the two foremost nations Of Europe
Great Britain and France This is true regards
their wealth, their military power, and their rank in
civilization. Leaving the United States of America
of consideration, they the two foremost powers of
the world.
formal alliance of two such nations, if undertaken
for the right purpose and maintained along the right
lines, ought to be tremendous benefit to civilization
1t should do away with the possibility of clash
between these two nations and it should relieve them
both of the necessity of naval other military prepared
against the other That in itself would be great
benefit to both nations, and to the world at large
An alliance between France and Great Britain also
would insure, for many years the peace Of the world
against any power of impealistic mlitaristc de-
sign, and it would safeguard white supremacy against
any possible danger from the uprising tide of color Of
which there has been so much recent talk
There is no good reason why the United States
should be party to such alliance The dangers
against which such alliance would guard are not pri-
marily dangers and the beneficial purposes which
such alliance would may best be forwarded by
the United States another way. There is however
for regarding such alliance in any way
detrimental dangerous to interests Neither France
Great Britain has anything that the United States
desires to take by force and there to
pect that either of those nations holds any sinister or
hostile design against the United States.
There is possibility that at some time such an
alliance might be used to purpose, political or
commercial of aggression unfair privilege, and no
doubt Americans will speak emphaticaly to that
effect Such chance is small and it concerns minor
matters in which the United is not vitality con-
eened For the most part and in matters in which the
United States is chiefly concerned sympahies would
be with Franco alliance and our interests would
be served by its activities and influence

Testing the Industrial Law

Another step in testing Colorado industrial law
taken Wednesday when Judge Morley Of the Denver
district court sentenced twenty-five members of the
Butcher Workers and Meat Cutters union the county
jail for contempt of court in violating order
manding them to work pending the outcome OF
wage adjudication by the state industrial commission.
1t the interest of every person in Colorado to
know whether the Colorado industrial law is valid and
also whether the of this state has the
to enforce laws that enacted by the
of the people in the general assembly For the present
the strikers entitled to the benefit Of the doubt 1t
may be that they sincerely believe that they have
right refuse obedience to this particular law and that
they within their rights free American citizes
in refusing to obey the order of the court Doubtless
they could fndlawyers to approve such belief.
On the other hand it is to be presumed that Judge
Morley acting strictly within the limits of his official
duty in sentencing these to jail Those who seek
the place Of martyrs Of liberty have to complain
if they suffer the martyrs fate.
The next step will be review Of the matter by the
supreme court and that tribunal will decide what is the
law and what the legitimate authority Of the indus
trial commission.
After which it will be the duty of all good citizens
to obey the law the law lis determined to be. For
there cannot be free state any private determination
of what the law of the of the authority of
public officials.
1t is always within the right of any citizen to work
for the repeal amendment of any law, and in the
United States go to extreme in reserving the
right of any person organization to make test Of
the vadt, of law and the authority of public officials
But when that test has been made either the law must
be enforced and respected else anarchy takes the
place of government

The Enemies Of Peace

The enemies Of world peace are not less dangerous
because they disguised They not less perncious
because they indirect They less reprehensi-
BILE because they their devotion to peace, be-
they profess be serving good purpose, or
because of their integrity of personal character, for
any other reason
A conference Of the worlds greatest nations has
reached certain agreements which will be sub
mitted to the proper department of the governments
concerned for ratification
When those treaties presented to the senate of
the United States there will be but single question to
be answered, and that is whether this nation is to take
the greatest step toward international peace that has
been taken whether it is to refuse to take that
step.
Three senators stand conspcuously as the probable
opponents Of ratification These Senator Borah of
IDAHO Senator Reed of Missouri and Senator LaFolette
of Wisconsin All the forces Of opposition secret or
open will rally around these three leaders. Their past
records sufficient evidence that they will not yield to
any manifestation of public sentiment but it is to be
hoped that the American people will express their de-
sire for peace in such ways that very few other senator's
will join them in voting against disarmament and peace.
