Thoy ranged from tho protection of
lobsters (those inliahiting waters) to
bird refuges.
First the sonato passed a hill to
establish refuges for birds; this pro
vides that tlio governor can sot aside
lands near state grounds for bird re
fuges and that county courts can
lease tracts of land for the refuge
of wild uniniuU and birds. These re
serves are to be posted and have
heavy penalty provided for thos6
invading them on iiiUsions of slaugh

birds would ho advised of these oitU's
of refuge, and Beau o.phiined that
tho birds quickly realize when there

A NEWSPAPER'S DUTY
AM interesting libel suit has just been concluded in Hon
olulu, Hinvaii. Jt is interesting inasmuch as Chief
Justice Frear of the Supreme Court in deciding the case
said:
"It is a newspaper's duty and its right to draw infer
ences from the facts known; to draw them for the people."
Newspapers have rights and they have privileges; but
they also have ditties, as Justice .Krear emphatically as
serts. These duties are not negative; they are positive. To print
the news is not merely a privilege or a right, but a public
duty. This duty does not end with printing the news. To
draw inferences from the news, to explain the news edi
torially to the people is no less a duty than to print the
news itself.
No newspaper has done its full duty, under this decision,
if it fails to print the news that the public has a right to
know. No newspaper has done its full duty if it fails hon
estly and courageously to explain this news to its readers
and" help them to arrive at an intelligent understanding
of it. Its work must be done without malice, but likewise
must it be done without fear or favor.
Justice r-Year is not content with saying to the news
papers of the ceuntry: You may go thus far, but no farth
er. His admonition is: Unless you go thus far you have
failed in your public duty and shirked your public respon
sibilities. There are man)' newspaper editors who could learn a
valuable lesson in progressive, independent journalism
from this able justice.
Gridiron Club
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.--An
epoch making conference here to
night Mettled for all time, thu insur
gent question, tho policy for control
of the democratic house, the war
seaie, Canadian reciprocity, and a
few other minor things now bother
ing the American citizen, including
a distinguished resident of Oyster
Hay.
Tho "conference" was at tho an
nual dinner of the famous Gridiron
Hub. Stiii-s of Washington offic
ialdom there beheld thcmselove.s as
others saw them, and laughed at sal
iric settlement of public questions by
members of tho club.
Distinguished members ot con
gress, of official circles, of the bench
the diplomatic corps and worth while
citizens who came from far in the
varnished cars, laid asido their en'e
to reveal in a season of Gridiron car
ryiugs-on. As usual, a pleasant time
was had by all. It was a lumiuou'i
success.
The crowd assembled at the tables
the lights were extinguished, a quar
tette produced a welcome song, Presi
dent V. Oiilahan welcomed, one and
all, the iiery gridiron flashed vividly
in the darkness; then the lights wore
restored and things began to hap
pen. Soon after the dinner was begun a
member of the club entered and sug
gested lo President Oiilahan that it
was time that he inaugurated him
self and made a few eloquent re
marks. He was advised to do ii
at once and save trouble, Oiilahan
said that he was in already and thai
there was no occasion for inaugura
tion cermouies.
"1 only wanted to save you troub
lo," said the intruder.
A crowd marched in with banner-,
announcing that they composed the
"committee on committee" and the
chairman shouted that the presidents
troubles hud arrived.
"We are the president of this club,"
the chuirmaii ioutod, "a composite
Champ Clark, and we want to be in
augurated," "Fifteen men cannot provide at n
dinner," exclaimed Oiilahan.
"Fifteen men will preside over tin
next house of representatives, wh,
not Iihic?" was the i espouse.
"Do ahead," said Oiilahan and i
fight atarted, each claiming tin
honor.
Two member entered with n rtu
reseutation of Champ Clark, tighll.
bound with rope and one of tin
guurda exclaimed: "This is a sumplc
of what is in store for the president
unless he yields to the committee on
committees."
"1 am exhibit A," mid the pseudo
Champ.
"Of what" wan asked.
"Exhibit A." was the answer, "ot
what a rules fight in one eougiv--can
do to a perfectly good speaker
in the uuxt."
Two member entered escorting a
pretended JitMuee. The man who
had arrested him declared that he
had iMM'foniiHd. oonapieuou service
bv capturing a Japanese spy in the
banquet room, lie yanked from un
der I he arm of the upy a huge i til

of the committee. The plun allow allew

Florida was said to show, "then

Home one yelled that the .Jap was
really an American in disguise. lie
was divorstcd of his lniistncjic and
kimonn and there was revealed a
man in naval uniform that made ev
erybody exclaim, "Its H. P. Iloh
sonl" Asked what ho was doing there the
psoudo llobson declared that ho was
looking for Secretary of War Dick
wisoii and that the Japanese disguise
seemed appropriate as he was a
Japanese war scare. For uncovering
the Japanese war scare the committee
was given the liberty of th c:ul.
As the dinner was given near St.
Valentino's day tho menu can's car
ried mo valentine idea, Willi verses
appropriate to notable guests. A
giant member of the committee dress
cd as ciipid distributed the cards
and as ho delivered each card the
verso was ready by a club member
sitting beside tho victim.
Another feature was the darkening
of the room and picking out promin
ent men with a spotlight. As each
man's face showed in tho daz.ling
light a short lecture as to his clmr
acteristics was doliovcred by a mem
ber of tho club.
A third stunt showed a club mem
her in Prince Albert and high hat
passing through tho room and carry
ing a large paper roll marked "Ko
ciprooily agreement." lie was halt
ed and asked the meaning of his
presence. lie answered that the
houso hud passed the reciprocity
treaty and that he was carrying It
lo the senate for action.
lie went on hut had hardly passed
the curtains when there was a firing
of guns nml other tremendous noises.
The man rushed hack with his coal
in tatters, his silk hat crushed and
the roll of paper in shreds. He was
stopped and asked what happened.
Dolefully holding up the torn paper
he said. "The senate has acted on
it."
A member of the club announced
that a delegation from the Saenger
hitnd detdred to give the German Am
bassador some instructions. Words
to American institutions. The club
man, after a few words of greeting,
shouted au invitation for his German
friends to enter and they responded
with a lusty ",1a Wold." There were
twenty of them with German caps
ami wigs,
A largo blackboard was displayed
on the balcony and to the tune ol
the "Sehniliolhnuin" the leader of
the chorus pointed out pictures on
the board. These included President
Tafl, his "guter friend" the Kaiser,
a suFfragelto, a fire engine mid oth
er American products, oudiug with a
picture of Col. K'oosevelt labeled
"Schniekel Fritz."
The Ambassador nmdo a speech
and then ther was a song featun
Its title was "The name of Willi"
and the William featured were Taf.
Bryan. Oaynor and Ilea rt. In m't
tlio ditty ran:
The great 0. 0. P.

In a state of aorotie relief,
In the coming campaign

Gentle and kind- -uot silly

Of future ila.xs I'm dreaming,
Win n for their carihU -.cliemuig
Sinners are somewhere steaming,
And you, too, Willie!
Another flight of song, entitled
"The Tariff Whoop," dealt with a
demand that the tariff rates be re
duced and proceeded that "the plo.i
of the member from Kansas":
Kicked up such a terrible din
That President Taft
Suggestively laughed.
To cut rates ho started right In.
Put farm products In tho free list;
But tho Kansas insurgent
Held views so divergent
lie begged his colleagues to desist.
Chorus.

.Great guns, holy smoko,

Chorus.
Boost tho rates with a whoop, la, la.
An insurgent movement In tho club
was developed when waiters arrang
ed a long dinner table In tho space
facing President Oiilahan. Three
members of tho club entered and
began discussing tho big time they
had in prospect. Without giving any
attention to an Intoruptlon by Oula
ban, one of the intruders snld: "Tills
will bo our greatest dinner." Oiila
han threatened to have them thrown
out by tho police and was told that
ho would bo thrown out himself un
less ho kept quiet. They announced
that the insurgent wing of tho club
would give a dinner tonight. Oiilahan
said with surprise ho did not know
there was an insurgent wing.
"That's tho trouble with you stand
patters," said an Insurgent, "you nev
er do find out anything that's going
on until somebody lilts you with an
ax."
Tho hotel manager was called In,
but could not Interfere as ho had to
admit that the insurgents had rented
tho hall and paid iu advance Al
though Oiilahan protested ho was
finally quieted by an Insurgent threat
to call tho police.
Then tho Insurgent dinner started,
In Imitation of tho real club, with
tho ringing of a tiny dinner boll. Tho
guests filed In under tlio leadership
of a citizen wearing the uniform of
a private soldier,
Tlio crowd behind
consisted of members
made up to
resoinblo Andrew Carnoglo, Repre
sentative Janies A. Tawney, Speaker
Cannon, Vice-President Shormnn,
Senator Bovoridgo, former Vice-President
Fairbanks ; and Speaker-to-be
Champ Clark,
Tho insurgent president welcomed
them. Ho said that as the tyrant at
tho head of the regular table con
trolled tho llghtli ho could not turn
them off and so he asked the guests
to close their eyes a moment to pro
duce imitation darkness and thou
open them while ho disclosed tho In
surgent emblem, It was a hatchet,
"The Insurgents," said the presi
dent," have but ono toast and, of
course, that Is 'Ourselves.' " It was
drunk standing.
"Wo have with us tonight," he
wont on, "a most noted advooato of
peace a man who wants peace at
any price and one who lias got tho
prlco."
The psoudo Carnoglo made a speech
In which ho said that ho had but ono
ambition, and that was to die "poor
but advertised." Ho was against bat
tleships, now that ho was out of tho
inner date business. Ho declared
that he had given away $0,000,000,
which proved Rockefeller to bo pik
er. In conclusion ho thanked tlio
members and vnld that In his long as
sociation with tho Gridiron club no
member had ever betrayed his con
fidence. "Wo have with us," said the pres
ident, "still anothor advocate of peace
except in the solitary ease of Albert
,1. IloveridKc. Charles W. Fair
banks."
Fairbanks' imitation said ho had
attended many Gridiron dinners but
none as Joyous as this. Ho was glad
to say that la all his experience no
member had ever betrayed his con
fidence. Cannon asked "what would wo do
without the Gridiron club?" and laud
ed tho faith with which the members
held his confidence.
Tho Sherman representative also
oxurcMcd his appreciation of tho
steadfastness with which the mom-
uors respected his confidence.
Ueverldge's double said that in 12
years of public service ho had never
lulssod an opportunity to make a
speech ami hud often made speeches
when there wus no opportunity. "I
stand lor the uplift I am tho uplift."
he said. He praised tho members of
ithe club Iu keeping his confidence.
Champ Chirk' roprosentat've made
s witty speech aud repeated the words
of the other Kpeakors about tho se
crecy with which members hold
speoche made at tho dinners.
The Insurgent function closed with
I ditty aloug this Hue:
Solo When a landslide happens to
slide our way,
Clioius Tiuiis no place like homo.
Solo You pack your grip and say
"good day"
Chorus There's no place like home.
Solo Oh, Boverldgo said, "ain't it
a shame!"
Bone And Scott and Tawney said
the same.
Solo And we heard Tom Carter, too,
exclaim:
Chorus (in fierce discord There's
no place like home.
The dinner souvenir (was a foun
