farmers Can Save Quail.
State gitne officials say farmers
and sportsmen can do a great deal
toward conserving the supply of
quail for next year's hunting if
they will lake steps to find and feed
the birds.
It is pointed out that there is
such deep snow that little birds can
not find food, and in order to pre
serve them there are State regula
tions for trapping. Quail are re
ported is dying in many counties

Through the thoughtfnlness 01
Hot). John G. McHenry, we were
informed last evening, by telegraph
that the bill relating to the infa
mous "White Slavery" had been
passed by the House of Represen
tatives yesterday.
Mr. McIIenry's message reads as
fallows:
"Washington, D. C Jan. aG, 'io

White Slave Bill, introduced by

This is the first step in the cam

against the traffic which has b :cn
investigated by a special commis

war of extermination of the scoun
drels who import and deal in alien

A BUCKNELL STUNT.
The authorities of Buckncll Uni
versity are unking a rigid investi
gation of an early morning episode,
which, conceived by some of the
students in a spirit of overflowing
hilarity, has aroused the colored
population ot j.ewis'uin; and lias
placed those involved in an un
pleasant predicament if detected.
The prank consisted in the removal
from the dissecting room of the
body of a negro, upon whose re
mains the busy knives of tho "med
icals" had left a definite impress
ion, and the suspension of the same,
with a rope about its neck, from
the fourth floor of West College,
Bucknell's most pretentious dormi
tory. A rumor that one of the jani
tors had committed suicidj gained
circulation down town, and was
only suppressed when the bedy
was cut down and taken back to
the laboratory. Entrance to the
laboratory had been gained through
one of the second story windows.

if the agricultural districts to assist
them in building the good roads.
This amount is to be divided among

Fruit growers of Lycoming coun.
ty are predicting that the heavy
coating of ice on the trees, due to
the recent sleet storm, insures a
heavy crop of fruit next summer.
They base the nrediction on the
theory that the sleet aids in clear
ing the trees ot pests. The San
Jose scale was given a hard rap last
summer by the dry weather, and
it rs hoped that this coating of ice
has now brought
its ravages to an
end.

Aid to Food-Boycotters.
By engaging a corps of exp.rts in
household economics and the prep
aration of food products to devise
substitutes for any article of food
which may be boycotted because of
high prices, the Anti-food Trust
League took its first step in aiding
the meat boycott. While the or
ganization disclaims any relation,
more than a sympathetic one, to
the movement to abstain from meat
its experts will soon be sending
broadcast through the districts
where the meat strike is on, recipes
and formulas for foods said to be
capable of offering as much nutri
tion as beef.
The same plan will be applied to
the league's campaign against any
article of food which may be de
cided to be too high priced. The
corps of experts were engaged
because of the new condition
which the beef boycott suddenly
presented.
Hundreds of letters from those
who have joined the abstinence
movement in various cities are pour
ing into the league's headquarters,
asking for substitutes. The pres
ent plan of the league is to take up
various foods and ask its members
to abstain from their use for a giv
en length of time, While this ab
stinence is on the expertly-prepared
substitutes will be recommended.
AL H. Wilson in "Metz in Ireland."
Al. II. Wilson, the singing Am
bassador of German di-lect, under
the management of Sidney R. El
lis, will bring his musical drama,
"Metz iu Ireland," to this city on
Thursday Eve., Jan. 27. Ths
play is uulike anything Wilson has
ever appeared in and it is said to
be much better. It overflows with
pathos, has a pleasant vein of com
edy and delightful music. The
songs are woven into the play and
are not added to gain additional ef
fect. The story tells of the adventures
and love of a German rover iu the
laud of the Shamrock where he be
comes a firm believer in the good
little fairies made famous in Irish
song and story.
The central character iu "Metz
in Ireland" is Metz Klonikilty,
portrajed by Mr. Wil sou, the sou
of an Irish Earl whose first wife
was German, and who always in
sisted on living in her own country
where Metz waj raised and educat
ed. Metz is heir to a large estate
iu Ireland, and for the purpose of
stablishing his claim to the prop
erty he journeys to Ireland. Ac
cording to a provision of the will,
if Metz does not claim the property
by the time he is twenty-one years
of age it reverts to a niece of the
Earl's second wif j, who is the oc
cupant of Klonikilty Castle, which
is part of the estate.
Metz arrives at Klonikilty Castle
unknown, driving a jaunting car to
which is bitched a native doukey,
and is mistaken for a German wan
derer, in which guise he concludes
to appear until he has had the op
portunity to familiarize himself
with local conditions. He becomes
acquainted with the steward of the
castle, oue McCuie, who is under
the imp-ession tbit the; German
heir is dead, and who has entered
into a conspiracy wit J Lord Som
erset, nephew of the late Earl, to
oot the estate. Before Metz makes
known his. identity he becomes a
great friend to the Irish tenants oi
the estate, for woom he is ever
ready to sing their native songs and
the songs of his Fatherland.

The Coming Campaign.
The coming campaign in this
State will be the most important of
any in recent years. There will be
a Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
Secretary of Internal affairs and
probably a State Treasurer to elect,
this depending upon the construc
tion of the present law by the
courts. The number of delegates in
the Democratic State convention
this yar will be 29S, as r.cainst 375
last year, the decrease being at
tributable to the lethargy of Demo
crats during the last campaign.
Pending that contest we stated that
a poll of ninety per cent, of the
Bryan vote of the year before
would give the Democratic ticket a
majority. The result proved the
accuracy of this estimate. Fidelity
to duty would have given the party
control of the most important
boards in the state administration.
Since the eh ction of last year the
trend of public opinion has been
increasingly in the direction of
Democracy and public incidents
have uniformly accelerated the
motion. The country has come to
realize the fraud perpetrated upon
the people in the enactment of a
tariff law which has iu creased the
cost of living immensely without
adding to the wages of labor in the
least. The irrepressible conflict
between the factions of the Repub
lican party in Congress and the
scandals exposed by Forester Pin
chot in relation to the spoliation of
the public domain have added vast
ly to the already overwhelming dis
gust of the public with the party
in power. All these facts will give
strength to the Democrats in the
coming campaign if they are wi
in selecting candidate., and vigilant
in supporting them.
But Republican blunders and
Democratic wisdom will be equally
futile of proper results if the Dem
ocratic voters are as indifferent in
the future as they have been in the
recent past. Our ticket last year
was an ideal one and the Republi
can candidates represented the pre
cise antithesis in every respect.
The vast decrease in the. Republi
can vote shows that in so far as the
body of that party was concerned a
Democratic victory would have
been welcomed. But Democratic
voters in nearly equal ratio neglect
ed their civic duty to vote and the
consequence was Republican vic
tory. It asa triumph by default
and we hope such a thing will not
orcur again. To avert it, however,
Democrats ought to get busy now.
Secure the best possible candidates
and support them faithfully.
