glimpsed now and then. and here and
there.
The amateur must not expect to find
all the birds in his book In his yard
Nor will he find so few as 40 species
at one time of the year.
To see that many, or so, or go. means
great deal Of looking, let that be made
plain.
Usually 1t is best for more than one
member Of family to become interested.
This will mean that what one does
not see the next may. and so on: the
tiny Maryland yellow throat. for In
stance, is often spotted in shrub for a
few minutes only during an entire year.
But II 1t is there, it is there, Just as
much. from the standpoint Of the OBJ
server, as the faithful cardinal, which
hangs around the entire IL months.

There seems to be q great deal Of
confusion over migrants and permanent
residents. as some OF the books call them.
Many migrants do not go as far south
as others, so that an intermediate point
such as the District Of Columbia gets
them coming and going" and it is i'm
possible often to know which Is which.
Really 1t makes no difference. Some
cardinals stay here all winter, others go
farther south before they settle down.
1t can be realized that Washington
Is far south to bird which spent the
summer in the far north.
All the robins now here have come up
from North Carolina. They will 60
south again this fall, flying in small
bands by preference. Where one bird
finds food en- route, the others will find
1t, too.
Each winter few robins elect to stay
hereabouts. but not many: the writer
here has never seen q robin in this
vicinity in December or January.
Mockingbirds mostly 60 south, but
some OF them always stay and usually
make nujsances of themselves to other
birds at feeding boxes.
+
To know the migratory habits of the
birds seen here is always interesting, but
not at all essential to their enjoyment.
After all, 1t is the bird in the bush which
counts in this sport.
II any one can induce bird to come
to hand, he has done a great deal, and
no doubt will get what Is popularity
called kick" out Of the feat, but 1t
IS not at all essential in the enthusiasm
OF bird watching and listening.
This Is one place in which much ie-
norance Is good thing we may think
at times; 1t means that the observer is
not bothered or cluttered up with facts.
and Is left free to see the beauty and
amazing interest of the bird life.
The facts" school Of thought, some
may think. has been too much with
us in recent years: late or soon we wake
up to find that 1t profits us nothing,
because the facts are not enough, and
never will be enough.
There is no knowing the ultimate, and
that is precisely what we want to know
II We cannot know that, we will be
satisfied with the poetry and sentiment
and leave the poor facts, or scraps of
facts. to the hard dictators and others
who would reform man to his undoing.
Happily. one may love the birds with
out knowing much about them.
They are standing-that is, a fying
-refutation of the theory that facts
and more facts are needed. Life is much
more than facts, let us insist on it.

Fair PLAY.

In q complex society such as ours,
the real danger to democracy lies in
yielding to the small and often inad-
vertent encroachments Of government
upon the liberties of the individual.
Unless the means of checking these
trespasses are exercised the people some
day will awake to the discovery that
while preserving the form Of their free
dom they have surrendered its sub
stance.
The Supreme Court has voiced this
warning in the past, and it did 80 again
yesterday in an opinion that should be
read and rs-read BY every Government

Fit and Ready.

Is lle WdSIlIlslOll community Qudlllieu
to exercise the right of suffrage, to par
ticipate, as voting community. in the
Nations Government?
In no test does the local community fall
short In population it exceeds the popu-
lation Of any one of ten OF the States.
In national taxes paid it pays more taxes
than the aggregate OF nine States, which
are represented in Congress by forty-two
men. In national taxes paid 1t pays more
taxes than any one of twentythree States.
In every war its citizens have responded
to the calls of patriotism and furnished, in
manpower and money. more than the
average. In intelligence its population
ranks with the highest. The people of
the District are said the Senate District
Committee in 1922, both morally and
mentally fit to exercise the right which
they so earnestly seek as American citi-
Eens."
What, then, is to prevent this grant by
Congress OF what Is 50 universally con-
CcucO W UC Vic IdoAS A16t1t VI <AiAeA ASeAA
citizenship?
Washingtonians will find interest in that
part Of todays installment Of the Senate
report Of 1922 which discusses the anomaly
under which more than half million
Americans, living in the Capital City, are
barred from the right Of suffrage. "A
vague notion prevails" says the report,
that this exclusion from participation in
the Government is the necessary conse-
ouence Of the exclusive control Of the Fed
eral city vested in Congress. Such is by
no means the case"
What the founders excluded was dual
sovereignty over the seat Of Government
and that exclusion was prompted chiefly
by the fear that the State which COM
pretended the seat of Government" would
be more powerful than the Federal Gov
ernment itself. Here In the Capital City
1t was determined that the supremacy
of Congress in the Federal District should
be absolute and exclusive Of all State
action whatsoever"
Aside from the fact that there was no
intent on the part of the founders to violate
the American principle which couples tax
alton with representation, the point Of the
proposed resolution for constitutional
amendment now the Capper-Norton reso-
iution) which appealed so strongly to the
Senate committee in 1922 was that this
proposed amendment does not alter or
diminish the absolute sovereignty of Con-
gress at the seat OF Government Under
this amendment there would be then, as
now, "a single legislative will, obedient to
a single system of law, and the total ex-
clusion of any possible authority on the
part Of any other sovereign"
This amendment would empower, but
not compel, the Congress to grant to the
people Of the District the right to partici-
pate in their national Government. It
would establish no threat to Federal su-
premacy In the Federal district. It would
leave untouched that power of exclusive
legislation" which many members Of Con-
gress, friendly to the aspirations Of the
people Of the District, have felt should
be jealously preserved.

Shooting Stars.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Pursuit Of Happiness.
When Adam turned from Eden fair
Because of fruit he gathered there
He seemed exceeding scrappy.
u am at last en- route" said he,
For realms OF great discov- er-ee"-
And yet he wasn't happy.
His folks soon learned to use the plow
And over sales to raise a row
With some indignant chappie.
He ran railroad and explored
The spots where angry waters roared-
And yet he wasn't happy.
A ship he raced with sails or steam,
The telephone helped out his scheme
To make his life more snappy.
Wise words he heard by rad-i-o-
And motion pictures gave a show
And yet he wasn't happy.
Said he, "Oh, psycho-analyst,
Please don't insist that enlist,
And say farewell to pappie.
But put me in a bunk where I
May greet the nuts as they pass by,
And maybe I'll be happy!"

Vinced themselves that they can win
with James. James once was a coal
miner. The anti-Pinchot press, includ-
ing the Philadelphia Inquirer, is taking
the hide off the former Governor at
every opportunity. All this will not be
very helpful to the Republican cause
if Pinchot wins the nomination and be-
comes the G. o. P. standard bearer.
The Republicans today really think
they have good chance to win in Penn

Such programs have been effective in

1884 and 1886.
Gov. Philip La Follette's progressive
conference next Thursday will hold the
political spotlight. Few, if any, pro-
gressive leaders in the Senate and House
are attending the conference. For that
reason the report Is circulating that the
preliminary get-together OF the Pro-
,gressives is largely a local affair. But
the suggestion that q new liberal third
party may be on the way is regarded in
some quarters in Washington quite
seriously.
The last attempt at major third
party-if Father Coughlin's effort in
1896 is omitted from consideration-was
led by the late Senator Bob" La Toilette
father of the Governor and the SEN
ator of today-in 1924. incidentally, the
third party movement in those days
developed because the Democrats failed
to nominate a Progressive and chose
John w. Davis at Madison Square Gar
den. If Senator McAdoo had been
nominated, the La Toilette effort might
never have been made. So 1t is possible
that the La Follettes' present third party
threat will be only q weapon over the
heads Of the delegates TO the NEXT Demo.
