4m th* much discussed McLean bird
protection bill, which was finally In
eluded in the bill making the appro
priations for tbo department of ag
riculture and, aw such, approved on
linn* 4, and signed by President
Tnft hm one of his last official acta.
Th# bulletin will b<> profusely illus

swsua, snipe, plover, woodcock* wild
pigoona, brant, and other migratory
and Insectivorous birds which
beucoforth are to receive protection
from the fedral government under
r egulatlonn to bo formulated by
the department of agriculture.
The bill proponed by Henalor Mc
Lean, of Connecticut, together with
those presented to the house by
Kopreeontutlvcs Weeks, of Maaaa-*
? buwot fa, and Anthony, of Kansas, In
b;u*ed upon l he. fact that the lack
? i uniform bird protectl vo legisla
tion thruoul the country 1h respon
ftlble for t he enormous decreaae and
?eon thn t hrentouod extinction of
many species of blrdn that make
?tlgrntory passages north and south
oAcb year. It In of ifo use for one
atabe to pass protective laws ho
long hh In another state, possibly
"even during the mating and hatching
TMiaofj , there ia no law protecting
that Mime bird. The panning, of a
federal law upon thla .subject waa
?pponed by many who coualder It
** infrlngemoul_JUMdL-S-tato'a rlghta
to giro the federal government ju
risdiction over a matter which, aoino
claim. should reat outlnMy with the
individual states. A numbre of de- j
oUlonw or different courts are to
t ho offset that the migratory and
wild game birds belong t(o the whole'
aatiou and not. to the citizens of j
*?y state through which they may |
?banco to pass, and it. la thosH decis
ions which eonatll ute the recogniz
ed authority for the now bill. '
Tlnj onforeement of this new bill
is to be brought about by the ap
pointment of Depuiy United Stales
Ma'ishals to do the work. Already
hundreds of thouHanda of dollars are
being paid out by the different
? latin; for t lie support of these
game wardens, and the frderal mar
shal could go with them and cn-op
roate with them for the good ot
ibe game Interests of the country.
'Ilio sum of $ 1 0,0 OU has been appro
priated as ;? ^beginning fur this new
protective work.
Canada is joining .<lih this nation
i ? the endeavor to secure prot.ee
lion for mlgratoty birds, sine**- many
?f the birds which add to the re
sources of t hat country corny to the
southern states for the winter and
- itaelc slaughter during migrations in
Serially haa effected th^ Canadian
bird supply. it is believed that 4 he
passage of the McLean hill will be
??ly the forerunner oT a movement
to secure international protection fo
all migratory birds. Senator Hoot
already h as brought the matter for
ward by. his resolution uathorlzlng
%4?? president of the United States
"to propose to the govrenmenta of
?titer North American countries the
negotiation of a convention "or the
mutual protection and preservation
? f migratory birds," and it is hoped
ibat the movement soon will extend
hh to include botth Central and
South America.
-Xuxerioa has fallen pathetically be
hind Europe in this respect. As
tar back as 1S70 Kuropo was threat
Mod with the extinction of a num
ber of species of migratory birds so
that, In 18 7:?. a congress of agricul
turists and foresters was called In
?ienna. This convention passed a
resolution requesting the Imperial
Austrian government to secure the
protection of birds by means of
treaties with other countries of Ku
rope. In 1S75 Germany, Austria
and Italy entered into a joint agree
ment for the protection of birds.
Since that time four ornithological
congresses have been held in Ku
rope, and there is now in existence
an international agreement consist
ing of eleven articles forming a
code for the protection of birds,
which h(is been ratified by eleven
- 10 u ro j rtfnrw ovs.
From a practical as well as an
aesthetic and humane standpoint the
protection of birds Is Important for
the bonefit of the nation. Moat peo
ple havo no idea of the protection

sect. to t hue crops of that state went
to $5,000,000.
Thirty specloi of shore birds eat
noxious weeds, as well as Insects,
and at least 160 of tho Insect eating
birds of tho country have been
classed an game in both the north
ern and southern statcH, lOven the
robin Is legally protected In seven
statcH, in Virginia a petition signed
by 100,000 school children secured
the protection of tho robin In that
state by a special act of Joglslaturo
passed last year. In five states the
blackbird ban been a legal game blr
also.
The friends Of the birds have
spared no pains to Investigate such
birds as have been charged with be
ing enemies of the farmers, For
years Hie king bird has been con
sidered on enemy to the honey bee
and because of that charge has been
banished from many communities by
the persecution of school boys. An
Investigation of this eharge recent
ly has been made by a scientist who
examined tho contents of the sto
machs or crops of no less than (556
king birds. About One-tenth of the
contents was vegetable; fully one
half was of recognizable insects, in
cluding grasshoppers, rose beetles,
-boll .wei'vlln, pottt-fn ? trrrgsr ? caterpil-""
lars and kindred other pests, This
bird shows a predilection for the
blister bug or lueloldae. These in
sects contain a drug skin, produces j
other physiological symptoms. The
blister bug apparently does not In- j
jure the king bird, however, fori
bugs wore found- In no less than i
seventy of the stomachs that were
examined. Another insect noted wa
the robberfly which is about three
times the size of the ordinary honey
bee. This robber, attacks the honey
laden bee, kills It and appropriates I
the honey, Ilonwy' bees were found
in only twnty-two of the king birds,
examined .and most of these were
drones. So, instead of being ;ui
enemy, the king is really tho pro
tector and friend of the honey bee.

The reason why California wishes
to exclude theJapanese 1? because of
their effect upon the labor condition
of the w)il t? people of the State. ^ A
Sacraento paper suggests ? "that Mr,
Bryan take an auto and ride to Per
kins and on to Florin and K.Ik Grov
and see the Japanese women labor
ing In the fields. Let hlni view tho
huts they live In and contrast them
with the white men's homes next
door. If this continues, how long
will it be before the white women
will l>.? compelled to labor in the
fields to help their husbands obtain
even the necessaries of life? How
h_lnnK will? i-t -be- -until? Hie white- fam
ilies will be degraded to the same
miserable liuts? Now these three
towns mentioned are all in this coun
a few miles east of the capital city
of the Slate, under the very nose of
the Legislature-, and were formerly
prosperous American communities
And there are others south of the
city, towns where tho newspapers
Hcareely find it worth while trying
'o maintain a circulation Lluit forme

the Japanese settlers are a hin
drance rather than a benefit to. Cali

A gentleman k\tfith a fonduess for 1
delving in the duet-laden records j
of tho Historical society, has now
appeared with the information that
tho challenge, "You'll have to show
me," 1b a corruption of the name J
of a famous Indian chief of the
Hious tribe, whose grave is In the
woBtern part of the state ? Lold
Yuiiiuh Shome having led the tribe
who crossed the lowlands below the j
mouth of the Illinois, carrying their
canoes on their heads from tho Mis
sissippi to the Missouri, and thus |
giving the name to the historic old
French twon, Portage des Sioux.
Yumus Shomo, it 1b averred, is bu
rled at Wostport, in Jackson county,
and his namo- -carelessly pronounc
ed "You mus* show me," has passed
into the vernacular of tho state.
It is a pretty story, and one that
wo ought to permit ourselvea tho J
pleasure of believing. Hut, alas, it
is a" practical age, and sooner or j
laten some stickler for the fact 1b 1
sure to come forward with the proof
that there never was and such chief
as Yumus Shome. The man who
wrote to one of tho daily papers
concerning him must have had some
authority for his statement. Indeed
he had What looked like exxcellent
authority. Ho found It in a scrap
book, and it was -In Very good hex

It, was published while the exposi

It came about in this way: When

newspapers in Kansas City indulged
in a fusilade of sarcastic gibes. The
