UNCLE SAM TO PROTECT BIRDS
Senator George P. McLean of Connect
icut says he will, in the approching
session, press an enactment bill to
avert wanton bird slaughter which he
introduced a few months ago. Polit
ical questions of many sorts were at
the front at that time and prevented
the considefation of his measure. As
politics will have but little place in
the doings of the session which opens
in December, and which lasts three
months, he believes the measure will
go , upon the statute book this winter.
There seems to be some ground for
this confidence. Societies for bird
protection are increasing in number
throughout the country. The virtual

Pky Is Neglected In

New York - C
HE GROWTH OF OUR CITIES HAS DIVORCED MEN, WOMEN
AND CHILDREN FROM THE NATURAL OUTLETS FOR
PLAY. IT HAS GATHERED PEOPLE TOGETHER FOR WORK
AND MADE NO PROVISION FOR THE UNIVERSAL AND IN
SISTENT INSTINCT FOR RELAXATION AND FOR HAPPINESS.
Modern industry has divided life into two parts one devoted to
work, the other to sleep and has made no adequate provision for the
hours in which the character, culture and real education of the people
are formed. We have TiUKXED LEISURE TIME OVER TO
COMMERCE TO BE EXPLOITED AT ANY COST TO THE
COMMUNITY. y
And commerce has proceeded to exploit the .formative hours of
our daily life through the saloon, the dance hall, the theater and other
forms of commercialized amusement which have NO ELEVATING
OR EDUCATIONAL VALUE. We educate children up to the
age of sixteen and then turn them over for the most part to these
agencies, which speedily destroy the value of the expenditure of the
community for their cultural upbuilding.
THE CIVILIZATION OF EVERY AGE IS MOLDED DURING LEISURE
HOURS RATHER THAN THROUGH WORK HOURS.

shrinkage in the number of the other
game birds, as well as of the smaller
members of the feathered tribe, arous-,
es thinking people to the necessity of
averting from those which are. left
to us the fate which overtook the buf
falo. Aside altogether from their val
ue as food, the great game birds, and
also the humbler and more familiar
members of their family, have an ec
onomic importance for us which is
commonly overlooked. The Depart
ment of Agriculture estimates that
insect pests every year destroy 10
per cent of our cereal crop and 20 per
cent of our fruits. Much of these rav
ages could be prevented by protect
ing the birds.
Some of the states are. doing good
work by their establishment of a
closed season for shooting game, ia
saving the birds which are' still left
to us, and the killing of certain small
birds is prohibited altogether in a few
states. Private individuals here and
there, like Mrs. Russell Sage, are buy
ing out some of the big breeding
places of the birds and shutting out
the hunters from them. As most of
the feathered tribe, however, are mi
gratory, the National Government
must go to their defense if they are
to be saved.
FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
SOCIALISM EXPLAINED.
OREGON CITY, Ob., Nov. 15. (To
the editor of the Morning Enterprise)
In an editorial on Wednesday, Nov.
13, you state after quoting from "Das
Kapital" by Kary Marx, that "if Mr.
U'Ren is a Socialist at heart he is
the enemy of Christianity, as the prin
ciples of Socialism demand." This as
tounding accusation of course applies
to all Socialists. What Mr. U'Ren be
lieves in regard to religion I do not
know, that is his private matter. What
ever it is it has borne abundantly of
that fruit needed by all churches,
namely, the love of his fellowman
and especially of that great class of
the proletariat struggling for econom
is and social justice.
There is one thing, however, I do
know the principles of Socialism. In
view of the accusation it may not be
amiss to note the following facts, and
I trust they will be considered both
by the Enterprise and its many read
ers. I want to show entirely dispas
sionately, . that Socialism does not
teach anything contrary or inconsist
ent with Christianity.
In the old Gotha Program, Article
VI says "Universal and equal popular
education by the state. Universal
compulsory education, Free instruc
tion in all forms of art. Declaration
that religion is a private matter."
At the Erfort Congress of the Ger
MORNING ENTERPRISE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1912.
Don't Get
man Social Democracy held October
1S91 this article was divided and
treats cfeducation and of religion. It
reads: "Declaration that religion is
a private matter. Abolition of all ex
penditure from public funds upon ec
clesiastical and religious objects. Ec
clesiastical bodies are to be regarded
as private associations, which order
their affairs independently." This
Erfort Program is the basis of practi
cally all national Socialists. The ar
ticle embraces four points.
1. Freedom of individual in reli
gious belief and practice.
2. Crurch and state to be separat
ed. ' 3. Public funds must not be appro
priated for ecclesiastical or religious
matters.
4 Freedom of religious associations
- from the state.
This is the sum of the matter. Sure
. ly all Christians already agree with it,
except of course that large body of
feiiow Christians of the Roman Cath
olic Church. This church opposes this
. and very naturally and properly from
: her point of view. As Victor Cath-
rein, a Jesuit says, "This doctrine is
i directly antagonistis to the teaching
; of the Catholic (he means Roman
Catholic) Church, which has always
: condemned as injurious and untenable
the principles of absolute separation
j of church and state. (See page 211
j "Socialism etc.) We hesitate to
i think tbat even the editor of the En
terprise would assert no one is a
Christian who does not belong to the
Roman Catholic Church.
To be sure there are many Social
ists who are opposed, as individuals,
to Christianity. So are many Demo
crats and Republicans. But individ
ual opinions do not belong to the of
ficial Program. To substantiate the
foregoing I need only refr your read
ers to the wonderful address of Lieb
knecht at the Erfort Congress. Here
he says again and again thus, "we go
much further; in the free community
for which we strive the church is
simplv a private association, which is
controlled by its own laws, as all oth
er private associations are.'' This
whole address has received the official
imprimatur of the congress.
What Marx therefore gave as his
idea about Christianity is purely per
sonal. And it is very instructive to
note, as Sparto points out, that it was
in the year 1859 Marx's "Critique of
Political Economy" appeared. In the
same year was published Darwin's
"Original of Species." This latter
theory as all know was bitterly assail
ed by all churches as was Marx's doc
trine. So it came about that the pio
ners of each of these great principles
locked arms Capitalism and the
Church were the enemies to be over
thrown. Now matters are very differ
ent biology and socialogy are taking
care of their own affairs.
I trust this explanation will clear up
one of the many misunderstood things
about Socialism. This letter is not
an indorsement of Mr. U'Ren as Gov
ernor nor of the principles of Social
ism. It is simply a statement of facts
and we believe will be welcomed by
the Enterprise, and if wrong correct-
red. The writer, as all serious and
sincere thinkers,., would esteem such
correction as a favor.

' ' ' Insane Asylums.
The great Greek physicians had de
voted much attention to insanity and
some of their precepts anticipated mod
ern discoveries, but no lunatic asylum
appears to have existed in antiquity.
In the first period of the monastic life
a refuge is said to have been opened
for the insane at Jerusalem, but this
at,jars to have been a solitary in
stance arising from exigencies of a
single class, and it may be said that
no lunatic asylum existed in Christian
Europe until about the time of the fif
teenth century. New York American.
Shortening of the Day.
For a loug time it has been known
that the tides act as a brake on the ro
tating earth and that they tend to
lengthen the day. The effect is. how
ever, so slight that it cannot be meas
ured in any length of time at man's
disposal. It may be estimated with the
aid of certain assumptions and upon
the data available MacMillan has made
the necessary computation by the for
mulae used by engineers. He finds for
