SEEK PRESERVATION OF ELK Nation Is Waking to the Danger of the Extinction of Animal in This Country. There are, according to estimates made by the National Sportsmen, about 100,000 elk in this country, of which 2,21X1 arc in captivity in 125 dif ferent places. Thelargest herd, num bering, according to the government census, between 50,000 and 05,000, is in the Yellowstone region. In the summer thes elk range in the vicinity of the continental divide in the park. Since the settlement of the valleys the elk which are forced to descend from the mountains in tlie winter In order to obtain food have starved in large numbers. Since ItKK), winter feeding , has been provided by the state of * Wyoming and the federal government, and recently congress appropriated $50,000 for the purchase of 2,000 acres near Jackson, Wyo.. where sufficient hay can be raised nech year to feed tile herds during tlie winter. During late years (lie government has experi about 100, which have been transferred A f to 13 different states for the purpose r of restocking reservatioin. In this way it is hoped that wild elk can be retained in this country permanently. The Adirondack herd was rapidly ap proaching extinction when the govern ment and the state of New York took a hand. It is believed that after the fate of the buffalo many states will at tempt to encourage the propagation of elk in country which is unfit for farm ing. Reasonable Precaution. The lady was complaining to her dairyman some time ago regarding the quality of his milk. I “Short o’ grass feed, mum; short o’ p grass feed this time o’ year,” said the jocular milkman. “Bless you, them cows o’ mine are just as sorry about it as I am. I often stands and watches ’em cryln’, reg’lar cryin’, mum, because they feel as how their milk don’t do ’em credit. You don’t believe it?” “Oh, yes, I believe it,” said the lady; “but I wish in future you’d see that they don’t drop their tears into our can.” Doom of Golf. Bishop Murray, or. his way to preach in Nashville, steamed in his train past a golf course crowded with players. Bishop Murray frowned, then he smiled. “In the millenium,” he said, “every day Iteing Sunday, mankind will get surfeited with golf, and the game will ^ then undoubtedly become extinct.” Acquitted. t “The sheriff tells me,” remarked a visitor to a western town, “that there j hasn’t been a prisoner in the county , jail for over a year.

They do not know what j » national railroad strike would mean, and : ;hcy are guilty of a serious lack of maglnation. There have been very few’ •ailroad strikes in the history of the vorld, and where they have occurred hey have brought the nation which suf ered them to the verge of civil war. No lation has ever undergone a strike com parable to the one we have escaped. English, French, Italian and Belgian ex perience wras a foretaste, but not a neasure of what an American strike vould have been. No nation has dealt vith industrial conflict over so large a ierritory, and no nation where strikes pave occurred is so dependent as we ire upon the railroads. Had the strike pocurred, men and women would have Slied, violence would have been epidemic, Dusiness would have staggered, and bit terness unquenchable w’ould have filled the land. And yet men supposedly as re sponsible as Mr. Jacob Schiff tell us they would have preferred the disaster. Analyzing Arbitration. Preferred it to what? To what they ?all the sacrifice of the principle of arbi tration. The principle needs closer ex amination. The brotherhoods said they would arbitrate everything but the doc trine of the eight-hour day as a basiu of work and wages. They were willing to arbitrate question of pay and discipline, but not the basic wmrk day. They said It was not arbitrable. Is that mere pig headedness or is it true? Analysis will chow, we believe, that the brotherhoods were sound in their claim; sound, mind you, not necessarily in demanding an eight-hour rather than a nine-hour day, but in saying that the basic work day is b matter for legislation, not for arbitra tion. An analogy may make this clearer. Every student of international affairs has learned to recognize that there is a dif ference between justiciable and nonjus ticiable disputes. That is why so many of the same people w’ho denounce the Adamson bill denounce the pacifists who want everything arbitrated. They say quite rightly that you cannot arbitrate the admission of oriental labor to Cali fornia. Why? Because it is a question about which no principle is accepted both In Japan and the United States on the basis of w’hieh you can arbitrate. Bike wise no principle has ever been worked out to form the basis of arbitration for the length of the workiner dav. *v6iou*io, jiui at uuiaiC) uii me qutoiivu of the work day. The hours of labor can be determined only by one of two meth ods, by a trial of force or by the legisla ture as a matter of public policy. A calmer view of the situation will show that any board of arbitration set up to deal with this question would have been simply a little temporary legislature to make a declaration of policy which con gress alone ought to make. The decis ion would not have been more “scientific" or “fair" because it would have rested in the end merely on the judgment and social philosophy of the arbitrators. They would have had to elevate their theory into the “judgment of the society," and if such judgments are to be passed it had better be by congress, which has the power to deal with the consequences. A Small Price to Pay. Just because the basic work day is ul timately a matter of social policy, the Adamson bill was a small price to pay for the prevention of a terrible national calamity. What does it say? It says that after January 1 eight hours shall be con sidered a day’s work, and the measure of a day’s work for reckoning pay, that a presidential commission of three shall watch the effects at least six months and report within nine, and that until one month after the commission has re ported, wages shall not be reduced be low the present standard, and that over time be paid pro rata. In other words, we are to have at least six months’ trial of the principle, followed by a reopening of the question of wages, rates, economy, and the method of handling disputes. The only difference between “arbitra tion" and the present method is that three or four arbitrators would have had to guess on no experience and on no principle, while congress has guessed and provided a way for testing the result. The other difference is that a great calamity has been averted. Congress Must Still Provide. Congress still has to provide a better method for the future, but its organiza tion can proceed calmly and with the good will of labor. That is an Infinitely better mood in which to build than in the aftermath of violence, ruin and hatred. No essential interest is left unguarded, no one is deprived of his chance to be heard. Had the strike occurred no one would have been heard for all the din 11 would have set up. Congress acted in haste to prevent a disaster. It is a pity that it had to act in haste. It is a pity that in its action it failed to adopt the whole of the president’s program. It ii a pity that the nation is never prepared for its industrial crises. It is a pity that the social reformers who hav* thought about these matters are always ignored until the catastrophe is at hand It is a pity that we have had Coloradot Mesaba, West Virginia, Lawrence, Pat erson, Akron, Calumet, and that con gross and the masters of business arl ft i 11 ~ .. ....... 1x ^ l . Somebody Had to Legislate. Had the brotherhoods agreed to arbi trate, had the president appointed the wisest men in the world to handle the controversy, those men would have had Drug Act Defective. Prom the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The decision of the supreme court affirming the ruling of the Western Pennsylvania circuit court in the Har- j rison drug act ease indicates a serious ! defect in the law. Under this inter- j pretation the law can reach only those j who deal in opium, not, as the prose- ! cution contended, any person having j tiie drug in his possession. Justice i Holmes, in delivering the majority opinion, Justices Hughes and Pitney dissenting, Eaid it would not do to strain the powers of the United States almost, if not entirely, to the breaking point by making it a criminal offense for any person to have opium in his possession, unless the wording of the statute made any other interpretation untenantable. The law, as it stands, is directed against any person dealing in the drug who is not registered. There was no allegation in the indictment in this ca ie that the drug was to be dealt in and the majority of the court held that the act was so worded as to in- I elude only those who failed to register as dealers. The government contends that this so weakens the law as to practically ruin It. It requires proof that persons hav ing the drugs are dealing in them. The enforcement has proceeded on the the ory that mere possession was illegal. The remedy Is clearly indicated by the court’s Intimation "unless the wording of the statute makes any other Inter pretation untenantable.” A Tip to Settlers. "The Department of Agriculture.” says the Farm and Fireside, “has Just published a booklet of information for prospective settlers in Alaska. It will give any intelligent reader a pretty ; accurate Idea in concise form of where j to go and where not to go if he wants j to farm In Alaska; and it is time for j people to understand that Alaska is going to be a great country. "To open this great country for set- | tlement the government is building a system of railroads of its own. For the present, only about 1,000 miles oi these lines are to be built, but it is fully realized that this is but u begin ning of the system. The railroad scheme of the new country is likelj to be the most efficient and economica in the world. In Europe and Asia railroads have been built primarily t< meet military requirements; in thi. country they were originally rathe; speculative. Alaska will have its rail roads laid down on scientifically ani economically correct lines.” Have You Been Swindled By Thii Trick? ”A so called cooperative organiza tion,” says Farm and Fireside, "offer automobile owners the opportunity t. secure standard makes of tires, sup plies and various accessories at exceed ingly low prices. First, you must Juii the association, which is done by pay ing an annual fee of $10. Then you re ceive a catalog which is similar to tin catalogs of prominent accessory houses but it contains a discount sheet quot ing prices in some cases lower than th« cost of manufacture. "Hut. when you send In your orde for the standard goods listed, you re ceive a reply that they are ‘Just out’ o: those goods, and you are urged to pur chase un unknown brand which thej carry. The joker in the whole schonn is a little clause in the contract whlct says that they will furnish the stand ard goods 'when in stock.’ "Many representatives of one of thes« organizations in Canada were tried or the charge of fraud, and pleaded guilty The American Automobile association reports the existence of similar asso ciations in this country.” A new cover for milk cans is eo shaped that it serves as funnel and strainer, during milking and also has a protected spout for pouring out its con tents. -■y-T"’- ■ .....

COULD NOT CORNER MIKE Mr. Flaherty Ready With Explanation for Failure to Keep Awake in Church. One Saturday evening Mrs. Flaherty said to her husband, who is a success ful contractor: "Mike, Father Iturke is to preach to morrow at St. Patrick's church, and you've often told me you wanted to hear him.” "Yes, Jane, I do want to hear him. They say lie's a line speaker.” ‘But, for pity’s sake, Mike, if you do come with me, keep awake! You know you're always falling asleep dur ing the sermons.” “I’ll do my best, Jane.” Next day, when Father Iturkc began to preach, Mike watched him for live minutes, and time dropped off to sleep. When they were back home Jane gave Mike a tongue lushing. “Well, June,” said Mike in self-de fense, ‘‘it’s just tlds way. When 1 engage a new hand 1 watch him to see if lie’s on the job.
