Conservation and Coon Hnntin?.
The St. Louis Republic has done a
good service to the cause of conser
vation In calling to public attention
the lamentations of Bill Smoon of
Arkansas, whose soul is troubled be
cause thinning of the timber threat
ens the perpetuity of the honorable
and ancient sport of coon hunting.
This phase of the great problem, so
far as our knowledge goes, has not
before received consideration. It
presfrea, therefore, all tlie harder for
prompt attention, and It should get
it from the high a poetics of conserva
tion. Coon bunting cannot be aacrificcd
and certainly the timber must not bo.
We half believe the Republic has a
more direct Interest In the appeal
than its seemingly unselfish cham
pionship of BUI Smoon's case would
indicate. Coon hunting has been the
pre-eminent sport In Missouri as well
as Arkansas for these many years,
ever since, In fact, coon skins became
legal tender down in the Ozarks, and
it is quite likely that the editor of
the Republic, himself, keeps a "puck
o' doga."
But BUI Smoon Is like a good many
other folks who are crying loudent
against devastating the foretits; he
wants to save the trees and uue them
at the same time. Everybody who
knows that the way to catch a coon
Ik to tree him and then chop the tree
down and let the dogs catch him.
The more coona caught, of course,
the fewer trees .you have, but Bill
fimoon probably lays that on the
government. It ought to provide
some way of making two trees grow
where but one grew before In these
days of rip-snorting progress and
Intensive farming.
The Republic suggests the solution
let some champion of the tree fig
ure out a new way of getting the
coon other than by cutting down the
tree and Bill Smoon will be a happy
nil once more.
The Crosi-Continent Mania.

driven by the mother, to San Fran
cisco, where they will turn around
and come back by a northern route.
Since the Argonauts in their
prairie schooners crossed the plain
In quest of gold, this heglra has been
swinging ceaaelesely by. adopting
every known mode of travel from
foot to the awlft-fieetlng railroad
train, which was not available for
transcontinental travel In the daya
of the "forty-niners." Weston has
made the Journey more than once on
foot; Etra Meeker baa plodded his
way beside his ox-team, the little
Abernathy boya are now going acrosa
on horseback, many have done the
trip by auto, as this venerable woman
Is now doing It, and at least three
aviators are attempting it In air
ships. The lure of adventure has
prompted many to undertake this
Atlantlc-to-Pactflc Journey, but U
must not be Imagined that the Argo
nauts were the only ones to go in
search of the golden fleece. Per
haps that Is robbing the exploit of
some of Its glsmor, but It Is not tak
ing away any of the truth. No man
haa yet lost money walking or driv
ing an ox team from one ocean to
another. The aviator who get there
first will be handed the modent sum
of IS0.O0O and the little Abernathy
boy will have another book written
and set up for wale when they make
the mole at San Francisco and whip
their ponies up Market street.
With the woman and her son and
those, who like them, merely go for
the lark of the, trip, the money side
cuts no figure: It Is the mania solely
and after all, they, of course, a to in
the majority.
Business and Politics.
Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin,
whose election to the senate la Just
now being officially Investigated, haa
never attempted to conceal the fact
that be spent $107,000 In his pri
mary election campaign, but he does
deny that the money wan-wrongfully
or Illegally expended. At least, that Is
what hla managers tell him and he
says he depended entirely on them for
results. Insisting that they stay within
the law. The senator Justified this
course by explaining that he Is presi
dent of a doten or more big business
concerns and necessarily he mutt de
pend upon hla subordinates for the
details of management and that he
conducted hla campaign for the sen
ate on exactly the same principle.
One need not question the sin
cerity or honesty of Senator Stephen
son to uncover hla error in assuming
that politics and business are subject.
In this relation to the same rules.
His dozen business enterprises are hia
own private affair he need not pay
as scrupulous attention to their op
erations. A seat In the United JJtatee
senate la not entirely hia private af
fair. It Involves the business cf the
public, of the people, even the people
outalde of the atate of Wisconsin.
Senator Stephenson Insists he got
bla election fairly. Whether he 4id or
not. It seta a questionable precedent
In the politics of a democracy foe any
roan to turn $107,000 over to polit
ical campaign managers to spejjd as
they please to get him a seat In the
senate. That, If followed, woaltj shut
out of all consideration for tike of
fice the man who did not tUve, or
could not get, a large amuuat of
mosey, who might easily be the bet
ter qualified man for the place.
Impoi Lance of Pure Food Lawn.
Inside friction, that is disagree
ment as to the meaning of the law
and aJf-o as to Its validity among
some of thope charged with Its en
forcement, is supposed to have
hindered operation of the Sherman
anti-trunt law for a long time. Now,
then, the fame question had been
raided respecting our newer pure
food and drug laws. Kvidently
President Taft proposed to lake no
chances on letting the laws suffer
from any such unworthy and unim
portant a cause. His official house
cleaning in the Department of Agri
culture, therefore, may be expected
to have a prompt and beneficent
effect.
The president has done a good Job
in his vigorous handling of this offi
cial family mesa. He has cleared
away some obstacles, we may well
believe, from a free operation of
these very important laws.
Laws that look to the health and
life of the people cannot be sacri
ficed to selfish interest. It requires
no argument nowadays to convince
the ordinary man of intelligence
that this country needed statutes to
protect it from food and drug adul
terations. Even with what Impeded
administration of those laws the
country has bad it baa profited
tremendously and when they git to
working with full precision It should
profit more. Perhaps we shall event
ually come to Dr. Wiley's proposition
of a national board of health, but
for the time being the machinery
the government now has for carrying
out these measures ran do very good
service.
Figures Worth Quoting.
A compilation of municipal statis
tics put out from the city comp
troller's office furnishes bouic figures
worth quoting, and especially useful
in answering questions propounded
by Inquisitive strangers eager to
know something definite about
Omaha. Here arc some of them
worth preserving for ready refer
ence :

Many of these figures, of course,
vary, or rather are steadily Increas
ing, but assuming them to be cor
rect for the present, they are, as
we say. worth quoting.
What about the voting machines
this year, and its almost compulsion
of party lever ballots? Is it still tha
palladium of liberty, and the safe
guard of free flections? And would
tha discontinuance of voting ma
chines be followed by the same demo
cratic shriek about throwing $50,000
into the Junk pile? We pause for re

Turkey is showing" Itself a weak de

rescue, If by bo doing war would
cease.
Mr. Bryan la being advertised to
appear In Omaha a little later under

'Tarlfl Penetration."
When the European posers checked the
i arch of the Rns!an army on Constantl
popte In y;7-S and cloned the war with
Turkey on the term? of the treaty of
San Stffsno. for it.- Miare In the deal
Italy was granted the right of "pacific
pcnetiation" in Tripoli. "Pacific penetra
tion" is a diplomatic term for special
trade rlghta beyond and above native
regulation or restriction. Italy worked
the privilege lo the limit and beyond,
causing more or less strife among the
native.:. ,vho could not keep pace with
II. e imaders. Ah the small boy ho gets
his hea.l under the canvas usually wiggles
his body into the circus tent, so Italy,
finding the trade worth while, concluded
to follow privileges with control by force
of arms. Whether the province is worth
the cost of war depends on the angle of
vision. It is the last section of North
Africa that has hitherto escaped the land
grabbers of Europe. It is contiguous to
taly. and Italy needs it to make possi
ble the succe of her African plans.
A V arlrtr of Holers.
Tripoli belonged successively to Car
thage. Numidla and Rome. It subsequently
passed Into the hand of the Vandals,
who reached the Mediterranean through
the Iberian peninsula, and the Greeks.
The Arabs captured it In (W4, when the
Moslems were moving westward to take
pain and crn the Pyrenees In an effort
to establish their empire on the shores
of the Notth bea. In 1610, eighteen years
after the backbone of Mohammedanism
Vaa broken in Spain by the capture of
Granada by Ferdinand and Isabella, and
the expulsion of Boabdll from the Al-
hatnbra, Tripoli was taken by Ferdinand.
snd the Catholic order of the Knights of
St. John held it fiom l.'30 to t;l. when it
became a Turkish province. Turkey al
lowed It to lie fallow and run amuck for
three centuries, and it was the strong
hold of ferocious Batbary pirates till ih?
second quarter of tho nineteenth con
tury, when the Turks reasserted their
authority and reduced it to the condition
of a "vilayet" or province.
I'brsieal Characteristics.
The northern half of the country is
called Tripoli and the southern Fezzan.
including Barea. the Mutessarrtgllk of
Bengali, it has an area of about 400.000
square miles and a population of about
1,000,000 persons. The Interior of the
country Is a high sandy plateau with
fertile spots along tha wadis or some
time water courses. The country Is ex
posed to the sandstorms from the desert
and the coasts are low and sandy except
on the northeast, where some of the
mountains have an altitude of nearly
:,000 feet.
Tripoli has no permanent rivers, but
there are many springs and the dry
water courses fill up during the rainy
t,eason. The climate Is hot in summer,
although it has more of a Mediterranean
than an African character and during the
winter anow occasionally lies on the
mountains near the coast, while there
are heavy ralna in the interior. The chief
exports are wool, oil and cattle, although
gold, ostrich feathers, Ivory and rubber
pass through the country from the hin
terland over caravan routes which have
made Tripoli an Important outlet for the
products of the interior.
City of Tripoli.
The city of Tripoli, the capital of the
country', had a population of 3O.O00 In 1900.
Its harbor is accessible to vessels draw
ing fourteen feet of water. It (jfk its Im
portance as the commercial center of the
country to the three historic caravan
routes of which It Is the terminus. The
first of these runs south acros the desert
of the Sahara to Lake Chad, the second
southwest to Timbuktu and the third
s litli by cat to YVudni and points in
Darfur. The city, which is typically
oriental, lies In a fertile plain. , It la a
city of slender minarets and domed
mosques. There is still standing tn it
a splendid Roman triumphal arch erected
to Marcus AureUus.
Tripoli is one of the oldest cities n
Africa. It and the country of which it
is the capital have been part of the
Turkish empire since 15M, although direct
active-rule by the Turks did not begin
until 1S35.
