Good Americans will indorse out right the program of the National Se curity League to prevent the eleotior or re-election of any meinhe t- of Con gress lids year who are not known tc be vigorous proponents of the war ot who eu i In- luted to support any spe cious efforts at.an Incon ' peace The country needed sttelt a nonpolltl cal organization as the league to lead the tigld against the milk fed office holders and office seekers who, In many parts of the country arc cater Ing to the hopes of the people that the war may he ended, even though II Is not ended right. The league cun come ttt Colorado, for instance, and build Arcs under two or three i-nlltl clans who probably will seek re-elec tlons here and. without lls motives be Ing questioned, can expose the rank pacifism which has featured their po litical careers. Just how the war will terminate will depend mostly upon the United States. Just what the United States will do depends in a great measure upon Congress. If there Is a si l ong sentiment for premature pence in its membership the task of putting through our war program until our in j stltutions are absolutely safe will be! complicated. We arc pledged now tu go through with the war by force, “without stint or llifbt," anti we must support tluit pledge by electing men! to Congress who will "slay put" or tlie issue until victory is won. For that nintter. Americans should be earefill about electing anybody to ! arty office now who is not eh-ar-ctil on the war. Men of no particular force t Id private life have much weight add ed to their opinions alien they are clothed with the authority of office We cannot utVortl to have any such backing the pacifists in the dark day* of the war that are to come. We must make this a poor season fur "yeilow dog" office seekers of wltnlovor gratli or party ot politics.—Colorado Springs Gazette. PUBLICITY AND CRITICISM. “Congress sluill make no law * * < abridging the freedom of speech or ol the [ires- ’ so reaila a '-liitise in our Constitution. This is a wise provision.

The heavily spotted breast wth heavy central blotch is character istic. Range: Breeds in the United States (except the South Atlantic and gulf states), southern Canada, southern Alaska, and Mexico; winters in Alaska and most of the United States south-. ward. Habits and economic status: Like the familiar little "chippy,” the song sparrow is one of our most domestic species, and builds Us nest in hedges or in garden shrubbery close to houses, whenever it is reasonably safe { from the house cat, which, however, takes heavy toll of the nestings. It is a true harbinger of spring, and its de llghtl'ul little song is trilled forth from j the top of some green shrub in early | March and April, before most of our other songsters have thought of leav ing the sunny South, Song sparrows vary much in habits, as well as in size and coloration. Some forms live along streams bordered by deserts, others in timbered regions, others on rocky bar ren hillsides, and still others In rich, fertile valleys. With such a variety of habitat, the food of the species naturally varies considerably. About three-fourths of its diet, consists of the seeds of noxious weeds and one fourth of insects. Of these, beetles, especially weevils, constitute the ma jor portion. Ants, wasps, bugs (in cluding the black olive scale), and caterpillars are also eaten. Grasshop pers are taken by the eastern bfrds, but not by the western ones. First War Stamp Bank Built.
