SLAUGHTERING THE BIRDIES.
y i V A N Y a boy has been spanked for killing birds, the chastistnen
U J being inflicted by a mother weariug a hat decorated with the
'
' plumage of wild birds killed as wantonly as those for which her
son received corporal punishment.
I f the mother could have seen the suffering of the bird which gave
its life that her hat might be decorated with its plumage, she would
not have worn it. W om an’s heart is naturally tender
She does not
like to see suffering. Much less would she herself cause unnepessarv
suffering even to wild animals. That she has caused the death o f the
bird which decorates her hat does not occur to her. O f course this
particular bitd was killed long before she ever thought o f using it to
beautify her person. But if she did not buy this bird, and if thousands
o f cgher women did not buy birds already killed, other birds would uot
be killed to take their places.
Some of the prettiest plumage comes from birds upon whom the
plumage only grows during the breeding season. The securing o f the
plumage often means a nest of little youngsters left to slowly starve
to death. No mother’s heart can fail to be touched by such titles of
unnecessary suffering brought about to satisfy feminine vanity.
Audubon societies are making a great fight and a noble one to
stem this cruel slaughter of the feathered animals, and the stories told
with steriopticon views illustrating what friends of the human race the
little birdies really are and depicting the cruelty of the millinery war,
are having a decided effect throughout the country. The societies are
also proving that the birds are Nature's check against insects and that
as the feathered exterminators are killed off vast armies o f pests take
their places.

MY COUNTRY, ’TIS OF THEE
G E R M A N Roman Catholic Central Verein has condemned
J “ Am erica” as unfit for a national anthem. The resolution says:
It is an imposition on the American public. Far from em ­
bodying the lofty sentiments that are expressed in the Declar­
ation of Independence and in the genius of our Constitution,
it is repugnant to American ideals.
In the first place it is sung to the tune of “ God, Save the
K in g ,” the British national anthem, a country against which
we fought two wars— one for independence and the other to
maintain it.
In the second place, America, the laud of civic and reli­
gious liberty, is identified with the “ [.and o f the Pilgrim ’s
Pride,” the land of bigotry and intolerance, o f blue laws,
witch-burning and persecution.
A resolutions committee which speaks o f “ the British national an­
them” as “ a country against which we fought two wars” we do not
consider sufficiently proficient in the English language to be able to
pass judgment upon the wording of a national anthem.
Anyway, the Verein might better conserve its invective. After
137 years o f independence we care little whether “ Am erica” is sung to
the soothing tune of “ God, Save the K in g ” or the more lively strains
o f “ D ixie Land.”
It is hard to imagine how any song could be im
paired by being set to either tune.
There have been few more bitter struggles than the Civil War, yet
where is the patriot soul of the North which is not thrilled by the beau­
tiful, inspiring strains o f that lively air of the Southland ?
When singing o f the “ Land of the Pilgrim ’s Pride” there is no
reference to the “ bigotry, intolerance, blue laws, witch burning and
persecution that existed then. When we speak now o f “ the land of
the free and home of the brave” we overlook the wage slave, the
moral coward, physical mollycoddle, nincompoop and neurotic.
Those who wish can prove that the bible is an imposition on re­
ligious people. W hy should we uot reuovate and revamp that good
book along with “ Am erica?”
W hy pass down from generation to
generation the impossible, unbelievable tales of Jonah and the whale
and the modest lunch of fish and bread that fed a multitude ?
Those who wish can fiud plenty of good in the bible to make it
worthy o f preservation. Those who discard “ Am erica” as “ an imposi­
tion on the American people” will not be missed in the chorus.
If it be an imposition to set “ Am erica” to the air o f the national
anthem o f the English, what a heinous crime it must be to sing it in
the English language.

Primarily the question is one of religious education, proper
home training and parental control judiciously exerted. The
mother who keeps her daughter from walking the streets at
night with questionable companions of either sex is fighting
“ white slavery” more effectively than will any legislative en­
actment. The underworld bolds denizens by the thousands
who never received a weekly wage, high or low.
The following is from the Chicago Inter-Ocean:
The responsibility for the “ fa ll” o f 90 per cent of the “ fal­
len women” is with their parents. And unjust as have been
some of its incidents, the miuimum wage agitation will not
have been in vain if it awakes parents to a better sense of
their duty to their children.
It would seem from the above statements that Rev. Hudson and
the Inter-Ocean have been closely perusing the columns o f The Senti­
nel, where the same sentiments have been expressed numerous times.
