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. That would seem
to indicate that your community is un
usually free from crime.”
“Not necessarily,” replied the native.

As long as the present traction strike continues in New York the strong

their posts from the fury of the strikers. There has been little violence

From The New Republic.
las caused bitterness, but it is insignific- :
:ant when compared with what would 1
»ave happened had the strike taken place, j
1 number of well meaning people have ,
•aid publicly, and a good many more have 1
laid privately, that they would have pre- |
erred a strike. 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

erson, Akron, Calumet, and that con

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

‘But, for pity’s sake, Mike, if you
do come with me, keep awake! You
know you're always falling asleep dur

Next day, when Father Iturkc began
to preach, Mike watched him for live

Mike a tongue lushing.
