State Ornithologist Job is laying the foundation for excellent results by the work which he is personally doing in the protection and propagation of wiid and game birds. Not only is he thor- oughiy interested in his work but he has the facuity of arousing others to the importance of conserving bird life. | It is a matter in which there is apt to be too little forethought even by those whe get the bemefits from the birds in one way or another. The benefits resuiting from giving our wild birds protection is well il- lustrated In Pennsylvania. A close season of two years was declared in that state on wild turkevs which were in danger of extinctlon. Now comes the gratifying reports that the birds | have multiplled to a point where they are even as plentiful as they were for- ty vears ago. Other states by adopting similar laws have accomplished Ilike resuits, and the manner in which it operates is to be noted in the large increase in deer which has followed their protection in this and other states. It is for the same purpose that the migratory bird laws were adopted by congress, and through a faithful ob- servance thereof the extermination of songsters as well as game birds will be prevented. In this direction Pro- fessor Job's lecture tour about the state promises to create much genuine interest by calling attention not only to the opportunity for personal activ- ity but in demonstrating the value | which attaches to the encouragement of game birds. This with his success in the propagation of wild life, even that which has not existed hereabouts before. indicates great possibilities in | this direction in Connec fcut. SOLVING CITY PROBLEMS. Following closely on the heeis of | the commission form of government, the city manager plan is gaining much attention as it is being adopted to han- dle the municipal problems which c cern every city. There are qu number of cities which having been well impressed by its possit I decided to try out the merits idea. How general the method o become depends entirely upon the suc- cess which results. Above all only those who have the right qualifications can be expected to assume the responsi- bilities of the position and make it ac- complish what is expected of it. Tn recognition of the lack of men who have had the proper training for the assumption of such large and com- plicated tasks Kansas has proposed the training of men for that particular line of business and the suggestion has met with such realization of its needs and possibilities that the head of the department of sociology in the Univer- sity of Kansas is preparing a course of study to be carried out under the direction of the state for the demon- stration of the value of the fdea, This is unquestionably an import- ant step towards getting at the bot- tom of the troubles of municipal gov- ernment. There is everv reason why the trained city manager should be as important as any other. indlwifual | Ocs {out for two canoe. There will be slight chance for t in a| trained in a certain line of effort. Training schools are the recognized ! thing in many professions and there is | no reason why it should not bring as desirable results in the solution of city problems, IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONER. It must be readily recognized that the administration of any office which is governed by anything but the close following of the prescribed laws and regulations pertaining thereto is bound to result in an unpopular office, partic- ularly when decisions are open to ap- peal and reversal. Such is the situa- tion into which the office of commis- sioner of immigration at New York as gotten and as the result thereof administration -has been unable to the vacancy which has existed there some period of time. i is a post which calls for the exer- of due cate but likewise good judg- 7t resulting from a thorough un- and of the laws which have been ~tablished to restrict undesirable im- igrants and yet many times the ex- cise of a broad view of the situa- tion. The New York Tribune discloses the situation when it says: “To the biunders made in the Mylius, Castro, Liovd and Pankhurst cases have been added the recent attempts of an exam- ining board to exclude a well known Hungarian on the ground of ‘moral turpitude’ because he had enzaged in a duel im Humgary and to make out a of coal is anti an incentive to the filling of bins and keeping the coal moving when a slack time might otherwise be feren tion just now and either there is no decrease or else i was attri should not the squeeze on the con: has been f tle in the w to influence the cost of anthracite.

It re- quires a man fitted for the place and when secured he should be retained. COAL PRICES AGAIN. It begins to look as If the gradual raising of the price of coal is bound to become a continuous performance. If it isn’t for one thing it is for another and they continue to plie up in endless number, but out of it all there is in- creased benefit for all except the con- sumer. He is not only invited to but is obliged to assume the burden. There is nothing else for him to do. Coal must be had and to get it the price demanded must be pald, but the profit of the barons and the intermediate handlers go on unfailing. Just at this time a drop in the price ipated each vear as ctions are taking different a.

The side show manager made no at- tempt to stop him, because, if anything it added interest and excitement to the act. The fact was that the professor | that morning had asked for a ralse, | the same being denied. He wanted the raise so that he might marry Mme. Do Lotta, and, when it was not forth- comlng, madame was forced to remain the partner of Signor Toselli. The very Frenchy name of Mme. De Lotta belonged to a golden-haired, blue-eyed, little Irish girl, while Sig- nor Toselll was Just as Italian as his | name suggested him to be. The latter was a knife juggler and his speciaity was to stand the little lady up against a blackboard and produce her silhou- ette with nice shiny daggers. His former partner got “nerves” and went back to the old homestead and little Mme, De Lotta was substituted.

Charmy, the marvelous snakes. The only thing in the act which appealed to her was a doubling of salary. With that she could send several more dollars home to her moth- er, who was trying hard to rear three boys to the policeman age. Mme.

Two-thirds like Caesar, Prof. Matt came, and saw; but the conguering was another propusition. While he was viclously puncturfog his epider- mis with sharp-pointed implements he was trying to study out some way of getting the little lady away from the slgnor. When his act was finished he looked over to where his sweetheart was standing and saw taem gquarreling. There were two acts before the spieler would reach them, so when his was finished he jumped nimbly down from his platform, and ran over to the knife ki ler’s stand. %, e, he said, addressing her by her given name, ‘I want to see you after the next act. “All right, Matt, dear,” she an- swered sweetly, “T'll be over.” o you won't,” broke in Toselll ull stay right here.” ‘Huh!” she chirped in a most in- sulting tone, “how long since you've been my boss Matt started fo answer, but Marie pped her little hand over his mouth.
