war. It might begin with the private
soldiers in the trenches, a French-
mau and a German pairing off and
then an Englishman and a German,
or a Russian and German. Then

up to the Kaiser and the King of

the Czar and the Emperor of Austria

PROTECT THE BIRDS.
(Foit Worth Record.!
Birds have their place and use Id
the economy of the world, and only
recently have governments come to
a working knowledge of this and to
an appreciation af the benefits flow-
ing from it.
Ever since man learned to kill, and
thift was in the beginning, when
appetite had to be ministered to,
birds have been considered the le-
gitimate prey of the taker* of life
for the sport there is in witnessing
the death throes of the helpless. 9
Hunting birds for human food has jg
long since passed to the limbo of for- £
gotten things, except in a few iso- #
lated cases -where fashion and lux- • r> present
ury are combined to cater to over- ^ largeat aad ®

Of the ^.universe that uses them to
keep in check the insect depredators
upon the wealth of agricultural pro-
ducts. As it is, the depredators de-
stroy a half billion of crops every
year, and the destruction increases
as the birds diminish in numbers.
So governments have decreed that
places of refuge shall be provided
where birds may congregate, nest
and bring up their young, ajl unmo-
lested by the sound of gun, the pres-
ence of traps or snares, or even the
visits of strangers. Nearly every
state has enacted, closed seasons
wherein it shall be unlaVful to kill
certain species of birds, and the fed-
eral government has a law on its
statute books forbidding the snoot-
ing of certain varieties of birds of If gce*us tot A.y

northern regions for the nesting sea-

But the- general government has
gone further, by decreeing that cer-

An Oklahoma paper says: “Only
a few weeks ago an Indiana man
taught his dog, a very finely bred,
I well behaved setter, to chew tobac-
co. Now the dog comes into the
house by the back door, never
scrapes his feet on the mat. never

meals, gets burs in his tail, flocks
with the lower grade of dogs, and it
is feared he is beginning to take an
interest in polities.”—Clarksville
Times.
Also, you may bet that he spends
a part of his Saturdays and Sundays
in snooping around for bootleg
whiskey. When a setter dog gets to
the level you describe, it is a cer-
tainty that he is ripe for rotneck

ANOTHER ROAD BOND ELECT-
ION NECESSARY.
It tfe regretted that an error has
made the holding of another election
necessary before the ClarksvHle dis-
trict can issue $300,000, in road
building bonds, authorized in the
election of May 1.
Another election is necessary how-
caused by special sessions is due to
the people's disappointment over
what is accomplished.
So long as the legislature is de-
voting its time to useful legislation,
neither the time of the legislature
nor the money of the people jg wast-

— D ^.estrable that the
state be redistricted. Indeed, that
is a matter of far more importance
than men ordinarily attach to it.
Not only should a congressional re-
districting bill be passed, but one
rearranging the senatorial districts.
And even if no laws were needed, a
special session would be worth while
for that object alone.
The legislature probably does not
realize the injustice that thousands
of citizens have suffered as a result

ion is a matter of the very highest
importance, for it involves a prin-
ciple that is vital to a republican
form of government.
It is also a matter of the highest
consequence to rearrange the con-
gressional districts so as to equalize
representation at Washington. Rep-
resentatives at large can not accom-
plish as much as men representing
defined constituencies, however wil-
ling or however able they may be to
render useful public service. They
are regarded as merely tempoiarv
representative^ and are not able to
exert the influence they might if
they represented districts and had
to enact both congressional and sen-
atorial redistricting bills. The pres-
ent legislature has wasted very little
time, and its disposition to work and
consider useful measures would re-
sult in allaying the apprehension and
anxiety that many people are apt to
feel in times of strife and bitterness.

reason that Dick Harris, president

appointed him a delegate to the In-
ternational Press Congress which
convenes in July in San Francisco,
pointing out that “This is an honor
any may covet.” Perhaps it might
be observed that the honor is suffi-

ministered to him by “Sam Fryar
