CONSERVATIONISTS'
VICTORY
Nevada State Journal)


Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson, chief of the L.
S. Biological Survey cites as evidence
of the activity of his department and
allied services that there are now 49,
100000 acres devoted to wild fowl ref
uges as compared with 100000 less
than ten years ago. These refugees are
scattered over the country to be of aid
primarily in protecting and preserving
the migratory game birds.
The increase in the supply of migra-
tory birds this year and in the last few
years generally may be considered as
the fruit of this policy. While the re-
clamation service is reported to have
withdrawn certain isolated areas that
formerly served unofficially as game
refugees. the gain in acres actually allot
ted to the birds for breeding and nesting
grounds as a sanctuary against hunters
at all times, has been steady and it will
be, to all appearances, permanent Fur
thermore, the part independent game
lovers have been playing in the conser-
vation work is likewise important
DR.. Gabrielson admits, as do many
other game authorities, that the part
played by Canada in providing sanctuar-
les in the far north counts for much in
advancing Americas wild life conserva-
tion program. While the Canadian gov
ernment is sponsoring many of these
refugees, great many others are being
provided for by private contributions,
and the support of many American
sportsmen is being solicited in this work
and freely given A decidedly new ap-
proach to the game question has taken
place within the last few years. The hum
ter realizes that, save for his strictest
cooperation, the supply of wild fowl will
disappear, and it was only few years
ago that the biological survey itself was
not hopeful of saving it. With restock-
ing. the addition of millions of acres of
bird sanctuaries and the application of
the strictest hunting laws, the victory
seems to have been won Under the pres
ent system of conservation and sports
man cooperation, fair supply OF game
seems to be assured for years to come.

NO APRON STRINGS
ON THIS YOUNGSTER

Young Bruce Crozier of Winslow, Ariz.,
is only seven years old, but he came
through an experience last week that
would have left many grown man in
terror-and he ioked about it.
Lost for seven days in the rugged Mo-
gollon courtry of AriZona-country so
rough you cannot appreciate it unless
you've seen it-he came through seven
days without food, in sub-zero night
temperatures. clad only in thin play
suit, and retained enough common sense
to find his own way to a woodsman's
cabin when more than 800 searchers
could not figd him.
Bruce conducted himself like an old
woodsman. At night he covered himself
with leaves to keep warm. He remem-
bered not to walk wildly in circles, nor
to attempt to find his way in the dark.
He found water by the simple expedient
of following green growth to its source.
The heroic story of the boy is one
that can teach valuable lesson to many
parents-a lesson Bruce's parents had
learned, else he would never have sur
vived. Their boy had learned to depend
upon himself. He had learned to use his
own mind, to think for himself without
running to his parents every minute for
advice.
The apron strings weren't too tight
around young Bruce Crozier That's why
he's alive today

NEUTRALITY LAW
IS NOT ENOUGH

Inc United States American who sits
back now and enjoys the feeling that he
Is secure against war because his nation
has adopted a neutrality law is making
mistake that may cost him and his
countrymen dearly
Neutrality, like temperance, cannot be
legislated
We can pass laws setting UP every
possible safeguard against our entrance
into war, but they become worthless the
moment we allow ourselves to become
victims of mass hysteria.
Our greatest safeguard against war
remains now just what it was before
congress adopted the new neutrality law
1t is our ability, as people, to hold at
a high level our determination that We
will not fight.
Today we cheer from the sidelines for
Great Britain and France Why deny it?
We want to see them win. 1t is natural
desire based upon common idealisms.
The man who remains absolutely neu-
tral in any fight-even if he is merely
onlooker at scrap between two ours in
the gutter-is so cold blooded that most
of US cannot understand such a person
By the same token, however, we would
think another man bit crazy if, in ad-
dltion to hoping one of the ours would
achieve victory, he himself leaped into
the gutter to fight growl and snap on
behalf of his favorite combatant.
BY all means let us favor one side or
the other with our best wishes. But,
properly evaluating ourselves let us not
leap into the gutter of war because our
enthusiaSms carry us away
Today we must be more careful than
ever not to relax our vigilance against
rabid partisanship which would carry
us over neutrality laws, over reason and
beyond common sense, into the midst of
Europe's battles.
Neutrality for the United States de-
pends upon the wishes of its people, and
their wishes depend upon their ability
to survive such flood Of propaganda as
only war can unloose.
1t is up to the people to remember that,
regardless of neutrality laws, they are
just as safe from war as they want to be.

WASHINGTON.-One of the hot
test pressure campaigns of recent
years is being staged here to get the
Justice Department to soft-pedal
its antitrust drive against building
trades unions
The campaign came out into the
light of publicity the other day
when high executives of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor visited
President Roosevelt and Attorney
General Murphy TO try to get the
drive shunted aside. Under the
surface. it has been going on with
even greater vigor and determin-
atom.
Much of the pressure is coming
from Capitol Hill, where the A.
F. of L. numbers many friends
among congressman and senators;
lawmakers have been calling the
Department of Justice on the
phone. or going down in person,
to urge that the heat be taken
off of the building. trades
What has stirred Federation
leaders ard their friends, is not
the set of indictments obtained
from a District of Columbia grand
jury against five union officials;
it is the fact that the antitrust
division is proceeding in Is other
cities, calling union officials in for
questioning and, as one leader ex-
express it, soaring our boys so
that the unions can't operate"
They are urging that the de-
partment confine its efforts to the
Washington situation, making

test case out of it and discontin-
uing proceedings elsewhere.
The Department of Justice, how
ever, is supporting Assistant At
torney General Thurman Arnold
in his policy of forgetting about
test cases and going ahead all
along the line and all across the
country.
Meanwhile, little counterpres-
sure is beginning to develop. For
if the Federation is highly dis
turbed by the inquiry into building
trades union practices, the C. I. o.
is highly pleased.
Last spring it announced its own
plans to unionize the building
trades, setting up the United Con-
struction Workers Organizing Com
mittee to do the job.
If Mr.. Arnold's energetic staff
should disrupt the tightly -organ-
lied A. F. of L. unions this Or
ganizing committees job would be
lust that much easier. So the C.
I O. is all for continuance of the
antitrust drive.
An extremely interesting point
in that connection is the fact that
Daniel Tobin, head of the power
full A. F. of L. Transfers Union
has been one of the most ardent
workers for peace with the C. I.
o. in the A. F.. of L. high COM
mand
Yet Tobin's is one of the unions
which is feeling the force of Mr..
Arnold's drive the most.

Famous Sayings
Democrats and Republicans alike

Democrats and Republicans alike
should be grateful to Senator Ro-
bert A Taft of Ohio. candidate
for the c. o. P presidential no.
mination. for the clear-cut pro-
gram he offers his party as 1910
detectives. even though it is ne
eative and not constructive in its
approach.
Briefly here is what Taft wants
the Republican party to back;
|. Reduction of government
costs and balancing of the national
budget.
2. Repeal of the payroll tax
8. Repeal of the capital gains
tax as a means of increasing en-
ployment.
4. Amendment of the wages
and hours law to make it simply
a minimum wage law.
5. Amendment of the National
Labor Relations Act, which the
senator contends is being admins
tered ne-sidedly
6. Abandonment of attempts to
fix prices in basic industries.
7. Repeal of the Guffey Coal
Acct.
If Democrats are willing TO fight
the campaign on the basis of these
seven simple points, the ground is
laid for the 1910 battle. In other
words, does the New Deal program
stand or fall?
Here are issues everyone can un-
derstand. They are stated simply,
and they concern vital affairs at
home. Whether or not you agree
with the views of the senator from
Ohio, the issues he outlines touch
every citizen.
1t will be a good idea for Amer
ican citizens to remember that this
country is long way from solution
of some of it's most harassing pro-
blems, most of them centering
around unemployment. The war will
very likely be injected into the
campaign many times before the
votes are counted in November,
1910. But the war is not an issue.
1t should not be an influence in
next years vote. for the majority of
both parties agree that the United
States should stay out of it.
While it would be nice to believe
that the 1910 campaign will be
carried on around a program as
that proposed by Senator Taft, the
final platforms adopted by both
