The upper house of the Washington legislature has decreed against the robin, the most popular of .V merit-nit "song birds." The failure of the state senate to extend protection to this bircl will ''.everywhere be deplored, for the action of the legislature will serve to retard the efforts of humane societies to do away with the ruthless slaughter of all classes of birds. In discussing the matter the Post-Intelligencer offers the following timely comment: A bill for the protection of same birds their nests and eggs, failed to pass the aenate yesterday by a narrow vote, al though it was favored by the League of , American Sportsmen." Before it was put on its final passage it was found necessary to exclude robins from the list of birds protected because some senators from the eastern part of the state demanded It. It was necessary, they said, for farmers to choose be tween robbins and. cherries.. It is a pity that these farmers and these senators do not observe the robin more care fully and take pains to know more thoroughly what he does and does not do before before thus wantonly con demning him. He may help himself to a few cherries now and again, when they arc ripe, but the vermin which he. destroys during the lng months when cherries the are not ripe, would.but for him, do vastly more damage than he ever does. He is In deed one of the most useful of birds. He is also one of the most loyal of all birds in this latitude, as he remains with us nearly the whole' year. But for him and a few others like him It would not be possible for any green thing to grow, much less to ripen. He gladdens us with his song when nearly all other birds are silent; he works for the far mer when the farmer Is asleep, and It is the basest and most detestable ingrati tude to begrudge, much less deny him a few cherries in their time. Let the farmers and statesmen of eastern Washington study him with on ly a very little more care, and their thrift, if not their gratitude or honesty, will compel them rather to favor a law making it compulsory to feed him dur ing the bleak weeks of winter, than to oppose one that forbids his ruthless murder during cherry time. Any law for the proper protection of game birds, and especially for their nests "and eggs, ought to find its way easily to '.he statute books; one that protects -the robin ought to get unani mous support. To refuse it such sup port discredits both our Intelligence and our humanity. Look the robin up a little more carefully, senators. Tou can find books anywhere that will tell you all about him. During the automobile show held in New York last week orders were plac ed'vvlth the different manufacturers for over 20.000 machines. Allowing an av erage of $1000 each, which Is probably below the right figure, the total of these orders would foot up $20,000,000. This seems like an enormous sum to spend on a luxury, for nearly all the machines ordered by these people are simply to be used for pleasure. Possession and use of an automobile af this character can generally be taken as evidence of wealth and lcasure for the enjoyment of It, and these orders from 20,000 dif ferent people almost at one and the same tlioe show how large is the num ber of those who have that wealth and that leisure. A large number of the owners of such machines are sons of millionaires children of men who have worked long and hard to acquire what othei are now enjoying. A generation sees wonderful changes In wealth In a land like this, where It is possible for any man with Industry, thrift and bus iness tact to become well-to-do. It of t?n happens that what the father save the son spends, and so the son's son is compelled to work, as did his grand father. This prevents the formation of any permanent leisure class, though some large fortunes have, by good management, been held togther and kept increasing In size from gener ation to generation. The number of Americana who, though not million aires, ran well afford to Indulge in some of life's luxuries, to own yachts, auto mobiles and other things, to travel ex tensively abroad and in" their own country, to spend their lives where the climate and surroundings suit th- in best. Is Increasing rapidly. This is a great country for money-making, and there are millions in It. It will be recalled that llingor Her mann came In for goodly abuse just prior to his resignation as commissioner of the general land office, especially from the Oregonian. Mr. Hermann was said to be under the ban at Wash ington, but the following Washington dispatch to the Salt Lake Tribune indi- I cates that Mr. Scott's contentions were customarily without foundation in fact: ' "General expressions of regret are heard in Washington from senators and representatives In congress, irrespective ' of party, upon the retirement of Com missioner Hermann from the public land service. His courteous treatment ' of public men and his efficient and honorable attention to his official du-! ties occasion the most kindly comment. ! He was long a member of congress from Oregon, and secured such appro-; i priatlons for river and harbor improve- j ments for his state as to cause Speaker j Reed to say that, with all his endeavor j to limit the appropriation bill, the vora cious appetite of Oregon was too much j for him, and to illustrate he drew a cartoon, representing Hermann with j both arms in the treasury taking out the revenue for the sole benefit of Ore- j gon. It is conceded that when Mitch ell, Dolph and Hermann were in con gress Oregon had a strong team. In view of the recent death of the Oregon congressman, Tongue, last week and the expiration of Senator Simon's term, leaving but one memberfand that mem ber Senator Mitchell) of experience in its delegation, it would not be surpris ing if the people of Oregon should seek to retain Mr. Hermann for its further sen-Ice In the senate or house. Long and favorable acquaintance with pub lic men alone would make him valuable to any state." In view of the Salem Statesman's contention that Astoria demands clos ing of the Columbia river above this city, the resolution of the Astoria Push club urging passage of the Johnston bill carrying a large appropriation for the portage road at Celilo is somewhat significant.

You Never Know the Moment When This Information May Prove of Infinite Value. It is worth considerable to any reader to know th? value and use of medicine, for if there is no occasion to employ It, in the meantime, frail humanity is sub ject to so many influences awl unfor seen contingencies that the wisest are totally unable to gua?e me future.

One application convinces a continuation cures. P.ead the proor: T. H. Thomas, attorney of 600 E. Bennett avenue, Cripple Creek, says: "I just as emphatically endorse Doan's Omtment today as I did In the montb of June 1599. At that time I went to a drug store for a box which I used for itching hemorrhoids. A few applica tions ?av--; wonderful relief, and a snort continuation of the treatment curel me There have been symptoms of a recur rence since, but a few applications or the remedy never fails to bring positive relief.
