The Alaska eagle is the American
eagle. A bounty has been put on Its
head because it occasionally catches
a salmon. Man takes ten thousand
salmon dally, while the eagle takes
two or three. Some kind of a make
shift reason always Is ready as an ex
cuse for killing the wild birds. It Is
as nothing that life has gone from
sky line and from the landscape.
Some thousands of white-headed
eagles have been killed in Alaska by
bounty seekers. An attempt Is be
ing made by nature lovers to secure
the repeal of the bounty law. They
are having hard work to get a hear
ing. The eagle killers make money
In their trade and cash being the base
of the evil It will be difficult to up
root It.
There are comparatively few eagles
In the United States proper. Friends
of the oirds thought that tne eagie
had a safe refuge in Alaska, but per
secution has found It out there as
elsewhere.
If birds of prey were as prolific as
the song birds there would be some
hope that even after years of perse
cution they could come back into
their own. The eagle families, how
ever, are small. Frequently there Is
only one eaglet to a nest. It Is to bs
hoped the bounty law of Alaska will
bs repealed to save a noble bird from
extinction. _ _

Too Much “Crusading.”
From the New York Post.
The Matteottl affair is Italy’s busi
ness. Italians will attend to It as they
will and as they can. If the socialist
deputy met with foul play at the
hands of Fasclstl, the Fascist govern
ment will remove the stain or take
the consequences. Any meddling
from outside is worse than useless
and will probably defeat its own ends.
British and French socialists voice
their protest solely and simply be
cause a socialist has been the victim
in an Italian political wrangle. They
undoubtedly would have rejoiced had
Mussolini been assassinated. Italian
socialists are Italians before they are
socialists, and when an outsider med
dles In a family quarrel everybody
knows what happens. Such protests
from France and Great Britain can
only stir up bad blood and resentment
In' Italians. The world has had about
enough of this crusading spirit that
crosees national boundary lines and
minds other people's business so much
more enthusiastically than that of Us
own. _ _

From the Chicago Tribune.
This is the land of opportunity, and

for the emotions.
Education for Crime Prevention
More Effective Than Punishment
From the Los Angles Times.
It is good to note that many of our leading phrenologists are
stressing the important point that the prevention of crime is more
desirable than its punishment. This always has been known, but
somehow ii has not been taught in such a way as to make it sink
deep into the understanding of those into whose hands is given the
inforcement of our laws.
If the young fellow tempted to commit a theft could be led to ac
quire such concepts ot the conduct of life as would make him see
at a glance that he would steal more from himself than from the one
he would rob, if he could be made to realize the utter lack of value
to himself of anything of which he despoils another and the empti
ness, the worthlessness of a career of crime of any sort, his precept
or would have done more for him and for society than if he had
built around him a prison wall a mile high.
August Vollmer urges upon his police students the vital fact
that it is better for them to save one child from a l>fe of crime than
to capture a notorious criminal. Of course, a policeman always is
in a better position to punish crime than to prevent it, but it is good
for our law administrators to understand the great value of crim«
prevention and to aid in this estimable work.
A far more potent factor in such prevention is home influence.
There are parents who know that their children are imbibing fab
al knowledge as to the “easy life” of a crook, but who take no
great paiua to set them right. Crooks rarely teach their children
to become criminals, and there are examples, as that of the case
of Sophie Lyons, known as “the Queen of the Crooks,” where the
mother, herself steeped in crime, taught her children to be honest
men and women and, after her own reform, worked that of her
husband also.
If it could be made plain to all who are tempted to live by
crooked means that the same intelligence and pains they would ex
ert to carry cut their nefarious enterprises would net them far
greater material profit if turned into legitimate channels ther«
would be fewer criminals.

There is George Harvey, who
doesn't waste time in conventions.
His specialty is getting things,
done, in some quiet little room,
while convention geese are cackling.
He was roaming the Ritz-Carltore
corridors yesterday at about 1
o’clock, sinking into the velvet car
pets up to his ankles, while Senator
Pat Harrison in the hot convention
hall was denouncing ‘‘the republiehn
saturnalia of corruption" in whici
he sees the republican party.
Harvey, looking like a fifty-fifty
combination of Beau Brummel and
Mephistopheles, remarks: ”Getv
Briz, nobody knows nothing. But
very likely It will be Robinson. You
Bee there’s nothing against him and
he hasn’t any enemies.”
That’s the worst of politics. You
fight, tear your hair, denounce, up
braid. As the people’s friend you
flay this man and skin the other
alive. Then they nominate some
body else because “he has no
enemies.”
It’s sickening.
The best thing about this con

After you have seen them you don’t

ruption “saturnalia."

sunflower pinned to her breast,
makes you say to yourself, “don’t
worry. The sort of children these
mothers are producing will tak»
care of the country’s problems.”
With such women, such mothers,
the human race is bound to get bet
ter from one generation to another.
Even the cussedness and meanness
and selfishness which you see in
the faces of men must b-* wiped out
eventually by the goodness of the:
