A Pike-Pole Artist Needed.

THE bill reaches the very heart of
the migratory bird conservation problem
and Is one Of the most important con-
servation measures ever proposed in this
country. As q direct and practical con-
servation measure, 1t has the approval
Of this department" This is William
M. Jardine. Secretary Of Agriculture,
speaking. He wrote the foregoing to
Senator McNary, chairman Of the COM
i1ittee on agriculture and forestry Of
the Senate which has already passed the
legislation now before the House under
the name of the Norbeck game refuge
bill. President Coolidge has given the
bill his approval.
All looks serene for this piece OF
practical and advisable lawnaking
except for one thing: The brevity OF
the remaining period Of this short and
rushed session of Congress. This valu-
able piece Of timber seems likely to get
caught in congressional log-jani. II
may be that few il any legislators can
be found who do not approve of the
measure; 1t is simply question Of time
in the midst Of press of other matters
That the lower house Of Congress may
get around to vote is the ardent desire
Of the National Committee on Wild Life
Legislation, which is representative Of
such important organizations az the
American Game Protective Association

the International Association Of Game,
Fish and Conservation Commissioners,
the Western Association Of Game Com
missioners, the National Association Of
Audubon Societies and the American
Forestry Association.
The bill provides for a governmental
policy Of establishing inviolate sane
tuaries for wild ducks, geese and other
migratory birds, funds to be provided by
Government appropriation. Wild life
conservationists Of America have been
working for years to this end. More
specifically, it is intended effectively to
meet the obligations of this country
under the migratory bird treaty with
Great Britain by lessening the dangers
threatening game birds from drainage
and other causes by the acquisition of
areas both Of land and water to furnish
in perpetuity reservations for their ade-
quate protection. The bill provides the
means for carrying out its purpose
through fund to be created from the
proceeds of a Federal license fee of one
dollar year required from hunters of
migratory fowl. It Is unthinkable that
any member Of Congress would hesitate
either to approve the plan in principle
or to impose such modest tax on the
gunners Of his or any other State. It
viii be good news for everybody when
this measure shall have passed both
houses and shall bear the Presidents

The Newspaper Racks.

As factor contributing to moral de-
linquency in the community and pre-
senting a serious pitfall to young peo-
pie with their many demands for ready
money" the system Of newspaper dis
tribution through the so-called "honor
system racks on the streets is con.
demned by Judge Kathryn Sellers of
Juvenile Court and by Mrs. Giles Scott
Rafter, president Of the District Parent
and Teachers Association. In letters to
to the editor of The Star o number of
correspondents have, in addition, point
ed to the discrimination in favor Of the
newspapers shown by the Commissioners
in authorizing the establishment Of
these racks for the dissemination of
only one Of the many commodities
which thus could be made available to
the public.
The Star concurs in such sentiments
and reiterates its view that the racks
should be eliminated from the streets.
Arrests for theft from these racks,
both Of money and newspapers, are OF
almost daily recurrence. But they rep
resent merely negligible fraction of
the actual thievery which occurs every
twenty-four hours. The comparative
ease with which money and papers may
be removed from the racks makes OF
them an ever present source Of tempta-
ton and the experiment Of attempting
to Illustrate these thefts by jealous and
extraordinary activity on the part of
the police has been complete and dis
NAL failure.

Coal Regulatory Law

Leaders in the Republican party are
planning the establishment of a ma.
tional Republican club in Washing.
ton. The organization of such a club
in the Capital City appears so obviously
proper that the wonder is it has
not long ago been undertaken. Indeed
the idea is not now advanced for the
first time. At least thirty years ago, in
the heyday of Mark Hanna's power in
the Republican organization, there was
talk OF a national Republican club, with
its headquarters here. Senator Hanna's
death, however, put an end to the
project.
This latest movement for a national
Republican club has the support of
the present chairman of the Republi-
can national committee, DR.. Hubert
Work. It's organization committee is
to be headed by Ogden Mills of New
York, at present Undersecretary of the
Treasury. Many important Republican
leaders have Endorsed the idea Of the
club, which will be designed to provide
a meeting ground in the Capital for
Republicans from all parts Of the coun-
try and to provide a permanent home
for the Republican national committee.
1t is not difficult to understand that
such a club, with wide membership
from all parts Of the country, may be-
come powerful organization in the
future.
For some years it has been the prac-
tice Of the Republican national COM
mittee to maintain Offices in Wash
ington the year round. It does so at
present, with DR.. Work here in charge,
which is something of an innovation,
for Republican national chairmen, un-
less they happened to be members of
Congress or in some other official
position bringing them to Washington,
have not been so constantly on the job
here as is DR.. Work. The Democrats,
too, have maintained in Washington
offices for their national committee.
This city is becoming . political clear
ing house for the country, II not the
actual political center. The establish
ment, therefore, of national political
clubs, offering home for the political
leaders and other party members who
visit Washington. may we'll be expected.
Both the major parties, it appears,
are no longer willing to permit their
national organizations to become quiz
escent during the four-year periods
between national elections. Leaders in
both camps are urging that steps be
taken to keep their organizations alive
and going concerns, ready to take the
field In every campaign. There has
been much waste effort at the begin
ming Of the campaigns, required mere
ly to set the machine to functioning.
Washington is the logical place from
which to direct the party management.

with relative smoothless in the produc.
ton distribution and consumption of
anthracite coal. The bill up for i'm
mediate discussion deals with the BIZ
luminous coal situation.
The soft coal industry Is passing
through another crisis. or course. lie
with both miners and operators in this
great division Of the coal fields Is just
one crisis after another or several crises
simultaneously. But that does not mean
they are not real difficulties, entailing
hardship.
Basically, the trouble with the bitumi-
nous coal industry is its Overcapacity for
production. There are too many mines
already developed to permit operation
without almost ruinous competition.
There are nearly 100000 too many
miners. The miners union and the
operators as a whole do not abide in
peace and harmony.
The bill regarding which the Senate
committee closed its hearings last week
would create Federal commission to
regulate the industry, operators ship
ping in interstate commerce being re-
quired to obtain licenses from this
commission and agree to live up to
certain stipulations. Very Importantly.
the power would be given this regulatory
agency to Ak maximum prices of coal,
and that Is where the consumer comes
in, although he appears to be unaware
of any vital interest in the proposed
legislation. The history of maximum
prices is that the maximum becomes
the market price. The operators charge
this measure would open the way to
control of the soft coal industry by the
miners. The miners say something is
wrong when operators oppose measure
which would permit them to form COM
binations without danger Of penalties
from the Sherman antitrust law or the
Clayton act
For once, the operators Of unionized
mines and those of rion-union mines are
united on this subject. It cannot be
said that they always act In concert.
Non-union mines produce more than so
per cent of the soft coal of the country
now, a percentage reversed since the
days Of wartime control.
1t may be expected that the next
Congress will try its hand at some sort
of coal legislation What its nature
will be is difficult to forecast. The
United States Coal Commission studied
the subject exhaustively In 1923 and
made important recommendations re-
garding which nothing has been done
thus far. except to have hearings on
specific bills at every session Of Con-
gress since.
The coal problem-more specifically,
the soft coal problem-has many phases
of vital public concern. The bitumi-
nous industry Is disorganized, but recent
large consultations and trade-practice
conferences hold some promise Of i'm
provement.
One of the biggest things facing the
coal folks, both owners and workers, Is
the decreasing market. The output
If bituninous coal in 1923 is estimated
at 400 900 tons, on the basis of
preliminary returns. This Is the lowest
since 1924, when 1t was 4S3,6ST, 900
tons.

"Friendship."

Friendship"
The essential amalgam of human So
ciety, the one thing that binds men to-
gether In an effective and useful and
efficient body. is mutual respect and
love- The world cannot get on without
it. It was said of old, "A house divided
against itself cannot stand"
Recently London paper asked for
the best definition of the word friend"
The prize was given to one who wrote,
The first person who comes in when
the world has gone out" Next to the
ties Of kinShip are those of friendship.
Our acquaintance stand in one CLASH
fication. our friends in another. In
early life we are less discriminating
than we are in our more mature years.
The distinction between acquaintance
and friends is not so marked as 1t is
when we come to properly eyaluate that
which constitutes true friendship. It Is
also true that as We grow older those
who come within the restricted area of
true friends become dearer to lis and
We repose In them all our confidence
and affection. Some Of the noblest Incl
dents recorded upon the pages Of his
tory have to do with the self-sacrificing
devotion Of one friend for another. The
classic story of David and Jonathan is
illustrative Of this. Jonathan was the
son of q King, and hence the heir to
the throne. David was a peasant, who,
by reason OF his prowesS and skill, had
come to high distinction in the army.
His rapid rise had been marked by the
growing jealousy and enmity of the
King. He had come to feel that this
STRIPPING might In due time so gain the
favor of the people as to take from his
own son the right of succession. The
situation was critical and involved the
whole future of JonathanS career. In
the face of all this the young prince
disclosed no spirit of rivalry or jealousy,
but. on the contrary. used his every en-
deavor to set forward the interest of
the one he loved as his own SOUL There
Is no story recorded in the Old Tesla
ment that SO utterly exemplifies the fine
things of friendship as does this nara
tive. It was largely due to Jonathan's
devotion that David came at length to
his high place Of distinction and power.
This Is no isolated example of what
accrues to true friendship. It does illus
trate its cardinal characteristics, name
ly, its freedom from suspicion or ute
rior motives and its wholehearted COM
mitment and devotion to the one upon
whom 1t lavishes its affection.
It was the devotion of Lord Tennyson
to Arthur Hallam, his classmate in
college, that produced the finest poem
on immortality in the English language,
"In Memoriam." The inspiration of
this friendship produced in the great

end result of either an accidental or in
territorial chemical combination hun
dreds of millions of years ago. The
new theory goes a long way toward
hurdling the philosophical gaps.
But any theory striking so deeply
into the heart of science needs more
than a pragmatic argument in its favor.
The biological evidence must have had
its day in court, subjected to the Sc
verest sort of cross-examination, be-
fore the new doctrine can be considered
as either established or refuted.
This, apparently, is all DR.. Clark
asks. He has put forward a proposal
for an armistice SO that the embat-
tied factions can determine what they
really are fighting about.

poet laureate the highest disclosure of
his genius. It took seventeen years
of consecrated labor to produce this poem
that witnesses to a devotion that would
not be inhibited even though the cold
hand of death had been laid upon the
object of its devotion. 1t is a remark
able fact that several of the greatest
poems that deal with immortality were
inspired by great friendships. 1t is
equally true that some of the finest
things in art and literature have had
their genesis in the inspiration of a
great love. Men have repeatedly risen
to heights of great power and service
to their fellows, not SO much by rea-
son of their own inherent genius or
gifts as by the encouragement of some
, noble soul with whom they have con-
sorted and who gave to them both
impulse and inspiration.

affinity of soul. 1t Is one of the choicest
privileges God permits mankind to en-
Joy. We meet day by day men and
women who are impoverished, so far
as material possessions are concerned,
and yet who are rich beyond the dreams
Of avarice in the wealth of friendships
they hold These radiant souls are SO
compellingly attractive that wherever
they go they draw within the charmed
circle of their influence those who ac-

example of friendship the world con-
tains Is that Of Jesus, of whom 1t Is
written that, "having loved His own,
He loved them unto the end" From
His divine lips proceed those memorable
words, Greater love hath no man than
this, that man lay down his life for
his friend" What this master of men
has done to generate and promote
friendship among peoples of diverse
minds is evident in world fellowship
that calls itself by His sacred name. He
has created brotherhood unrestricted
by race, language or tradition. He en-
courages us to believe that. the sacred
ties Of friendship are not severed even
by death itself. He lifts our vision to
behold an eternal Father, whose DOM
mating purpose concerning His children
is an Incompatible love. In His own
person He discloses the finest type of
friendship of which the world has
knowledge. It is belief in the power
of this sublime friendship that compels
us to believe in the ultimate consum-
