Senator McLean has championed the cause of the bifds in securing .ns passage in congress of the bill wkich provides for their protection through- put the country. This is an act of con- yervation intended to check the great 4laughter of the migratory birds which | While some of them have been bro- tected in many of the states, have suffered in states where that protectivn was being entirely overcome bv the wholesale killing, even to the threat- ened extermination of not a few. The movement for the widespread prot-c- tion has extended beyond the country and an international effort, which is being made deserves as full and fair consideration. This of course will -x- tend to the birds which are killed for their plumage and well it might waen it {8 considered how extensive is the slaughter for the skins and feathers in order to carry out the demands of tashions for hats. It will require united action In ordar to overcome this business which is the means of great profit and income for ® well established line of trade, hut with song birds there should be no dif- fculty in awskening the proper intir- 2st and spirit to give them the necd- &d protection by law. Yet all the o™Ji- gation does. not rest with the gov.rn- ment. The individual can play an im- portant part. If each ome would do his part in checking the slaughter no law would be required, and it is the failure ¢ do so which makes it neces- sary to resort to the law. WEATHER BUREAU TROUBLE. The exertlon of undue political in- fluence for the purpose of bettering | his position with the president and pid in stimulating his chances for a place in the cabinet has brought about | the dismissal of Willis Moore, chief | ¢of the weather bureau for the past| pighteen year: Tt forces him to va- | pate the office a number of weeks in | ydvance of the time set in his resig- | pation, but only through such action #0uld the president be able to justify | @is position and ascertain the facts in the case, where the allegations are | in direct conflict with the rules by | which government empioyes must be | governed. | By the statement there are no i regularities comcerning the efficiency | of the department in the way of ad- ministration and nothing but the rais ing of salaries as a criticism of the use of the funds, but it is the use of the office and its influence for e | pushing of his ambition for advance- | ment, and the bringing of that wide- | spread effort to focus upon the pres- | ldent which has brought about the sit- | sation which, to say the least, is bound | o cloud the close of a long career in, the government service. 7 Mr. Moore maintains that he has been made the object of attack by the Bame combi ion which operated upon Dr. Wiley, so that an investigation into the situation is due and the facts in the case cleared up, if nothing more than as an example for the future conduct of the office. MEXICO UNIMPROVED. President Huerta of Mexico mus* exert greater cleverness than he used in overthrowing the Maders govern- ment if he is to remain as the head of the republic. He faces the difficult problem of financing his administra- tion for the government is, as it has long been. in dire need of momev. It is the lack of this which prevents him from securing confidence or even os- tablishing it, and unquestionably ac- counts for the marked success wtich the rebels or constitutionalists are hav- ing along the northern border. There are not the funds for maintaining a successful federal army. The sucres of the revolutionists in many of ihe| states presents a serlous aspact and creates uneasiness and pessimism. Huerta has fatled to met the varfous leaders together and the state of af fairs fails to show the continuatiou of the indicated fmprovement which im- mediately followed the downfall of Ma- dero. The republic would rejolce in the recoznition of the Huerta government this country or Great Britain that ihronsh such confidence in fts stabil- (y the arrangement of a loan could cffected. The United States is in- lined to await the action' of an elec- ion in the republie for the choice of president before recognition ls ex- ended. The situation thus fails to \vengthen Huerta's positfon and with {he encromchment of the rebels he he- comes =till more helpless. The over- throw of Madero has accomplished nothing and Mexico still suffers from lack of umity, It Jupiter Pluvius was bent on fill- ing our reserveirs he certainly gave she job the best of attentlom. AGAINST HAZING. Secretary Daniels of the navy de- partment makes emphatic his position concerning hazing when in affirming missing Midshipman Cook from the naval academy at Annapolis he de- clared waat the evidence justified the sentencing of the guilty midshipman to a year.un jall in addition to his dis- missal. lLeniency has been one of the great causes for perpetuating the prac- tice. Too often has it happened that serious Yiazings have resulted in dis- missal only to be followed by rein statement, thus adding to the endorse- ment of the rough treatment which hazing means. It was only recently that North Carolina sentenced college students to state prison for causing the death of a fellow student as the resul: of the hazing he was given, but th. force of the lesson was lost by th. state law which permits the hiring out of prisoners ana the voung men are now in the employ of their parents. Hazing is nothing but the bullying of one by many and it demands and wiil evidently receive, no sympathy in the navy department hereafter. It de- serves no tolerance, having not one redeeming feature about it and the proper attitude is taken by Secretary Daniels when he declares that “this senscless and dangerous practice will not be tolerated at an educationy] in- stitution founded and supported by the government. Future manifestations of such character at the naval academy will meet with vigorous action” is a position which every schoo! college can well afford to maintain and JUSTICE IS WANTED. There is reason for feeling that the International Harvester company has acted no different than they should in the acceptance of the offer of medi- ation made by Labor CommissionerW: liams of New York.

The | strongest indication of age is loving to talk abeut the past, or being in- ciined to think more of the things of the past than the present: and too many people have an exclusive pan- | orama of trials which they regard as the worst ever. when they might just as well cherish a memory of their achievements, or their blessings. This backward view and its results is charged to temperament, instead of to habit. Temperament we are not ac | countable for, and habit we ourselves form We form the mentai pictures in memory which distress us, and for get to turn them face to the wall Cast from the mind the things whic distress, and cherish the things which one is ever glad to remember. What is nature? It will not do to v it is God, for some theolvgian will | rise up and say it is not. Nature has been defined by a theologian as “the| | face of God.” By others it has been | described “as an effect whose cause i God:” “a gl reflecting God: time-vesture of God that reveals him | to the wise and hides him from the, foolish.” “Nature is cruel” says the critics, “nature is not benevolent. | Nature doesn’: care for the opinions of | men. She commands man to serve and wait and he has to do it. From her bounty man lives and clothes | himself, and from her phases learns | wisdom.From her violence man reaps | large benefits, although by it he dies | sometimes by scores of thousands and {is impoverished. If transferring souls from the trials and troubles and | perils of life to the peace of God is cruclty, of course, this is cruel. Man cannot understand nature any more than he can understand God by whose decree it performs its part He finds himself in nature and nature in him-— one and inseparable. The eyes of Pope | suit me, for they “looked through na- ture up to nature’s God.” When we see a man becoming a tim of his mistakes it is time for to keep ourselves under closer sur- | i us | veillance. There is wisdom in th | but there is not in_ridiculing the | weakness of another. There is no man | the truth, and it is better it should go first than last” This is endorsible but I am puzzled to find out why error leads the precession.

Mr. Editor: 1 While this wave of suc- cessful campaigning is sweeping over your city, when so much is being ac- complished for the children of Nor- ich and the beautifying of the city, whan the people of Norwich so gen- erously respond to all calls for aid and the uplift of humanity, would it not be well to bring before your citizens the possibility of a Rest Room, and the good it might accomplish? Nearly all the leading magazines tell of these rooms, successfully conduct- | ed, giving good resuits. One at Pine Island, Minn., furnished by the town, | the town heating room and paying at- tendants. The W. C. T. U. Relief corps and Ladies’ Aid have charge of other | financial features. Another at Ada, Minn., heated by the Commercial club. Still others conducted b Sunday schools, churches, merchants who con- tribute a certain amount monthly. Such rooms must necessarily have running water, toilet, couch, a few cha: table, a crib and a baby carriage. Some have libraries, others daily papers and magazines. To get the best results a matron should be in attendance. One room furnishes tea, sandwiches and cake, the proceeds going toward ex- penses. 2 ‘What mother, obliged to do shopping and coming from a distance, would not gladly leave her little one in the ma- tron’s care for a short while, paving according to the length of time left. | | | as important as to get clean, they| obtained a fund from which prizes; shonld be offered to those who main- tained the best looking premises throughout the season.
