When I made the state ment in my letter, the birds were our friends I was not jumping at con clusions but facts from the Agriculture department at AVadhingten. Those who have made a-MUdy on this subject tell us no farming could be carried on without the service of the birds. Every year one tenth of all the pro ducts of Agriculture is destroyed by insects. It is said there are over 100, 000 kinds of insects in the United States, the majority of which are injurious, and one Insect eating bird destrovs 2400 insects In a year. Many believe If the bird hod been allowed to multiply in stead of being destroyed, there would now be no necessity of spending thous ands of dollars every year for insect poisons. The department of Agriculture, realiz ing the importance of knowledge on this subject, made examination of the stomachs of forty different kind of birds to see what food they contained. The?c examinations were made from a collection of 28,000 stomach. The birds found especially good friends to the farmer were the king bird, cat bird swallow, brown thrasher, rose-breasted grosbeak, house wren, cuckoo, oriole warblers, shore larks, logger head shrike, meadow lark and the various native sparrows. The crow and crow black bird are said to do more good than harm. The woodpecker and oth-T birds are searching in the tree trunk and alonir the fence for the egg? and buried larvae of insects, which would, if not disturbed, hatch out millions of flvlng and crawling creatures that would de etroy the garden, orchard and fields I extend my congratulations to the school teacher who said bhe hail no use for anyone who would hurt the birds who teaches that cruellies and need less wars are crimes. With such train ing the girls and boys would not grow up to be selfish men and women. There would he no time for war. but, instead there would be "peace on earth, good will toward man" and love mercy and justice to every living creature. Sirs. II. Porter thi: jaii. TnAoi:riv.

The people will not brook much de lay, nor any species of whitewashing in this case. 1 hope that your paper will stand up strong for what is just and right for the dead, and for those who are still alive but suffering terrible agonies of body and mind. That Is the least that we can do for those helpless creatures of the ignorance of the law and of right or justice. J. K. Goff. hOflAI.IST O.V MH'IU.ISW. Editor Ei Paso Herald: The lecture delivered by l'etei Col lins on Sunday. March 4. at the Texas Crand. on the subject, "What is wrong with the world?" was a diatribe again.t Socialists and socialism. Now. Socialists do not claim for themselves any special moral excellence, nor to be guided by uhat is usually understood as "inspira tion. " They do claim, however, that their efforts to emancipate mankind from "ware slavery" are inspired by the highest conceptions known to man. They are trying to make It possible for all m.inkind to reach a higher standard f tihjnlcal. mental and moral man hood and womanhood. Tlie know that ignorance Is the Kieate;t barrier to human progress. The cunning few easily rule the ignorant many, ignorance needs and should have "inspiration." Knowledge is "inspira tion." and they are striving for more and ever more knowledge. Reason, they ndn.it. may be a poor guide, but fAith is no guide at all. Implicit faith makes lum ledge impossible. Lack of knowl edge is fatal to liberty. 1 have no prejudices against Catholics or Protestants. I admit that there are. in all religions, many sincere and good people. Hut It must not be forgotten that it is not the church that makes Irishmen, Look Here--- Four -Color Map of Your Country A MAP of Ireland showing the localities mid titles of the principal old Irish families, will be a feature of the Week-End Hernld this week. The map will he printed in four colors, as the last page of the comic supplement. The American Geographical society, writing the author relative to this map, recently said: "Some members of the society were much interested in your genealogical map of Ireland. The gift of a copy for the society's collection will he grate fully acknowledged and will enable the society to keep it on file for those of its members who might have occasion to refer to it.'' The New York World says Chas. Shannon, marshal of the St. Patrick's day parade in that city, asserts that '"it is the best guide to the families of Ireland I have rccn so far. I am going to have mine framed. It is as valuable as a volume of Irish history." It will be something that every Irish man, woman or family should pre serve. It is a valuable work, by George II. U'iSiillivan, the well known Urook Ivn genealogist. The map has been submitted by the author to the leading Irish scholars of America and has received heartv approval. Every little village and town in the countiy are shown, alo the locations ot residence nt the Milesian chiil-., and the various claiis and organizations oi the early Irish race. them good, but it is the inherent good ness of its best members that gives the church its vitalits. Mr. Collins called the socialist move ment "atheistic" because its leading "authoritie.-." were and are "theists." The materialistic conception of history, he said, was the natural outgrowth of ' atheism, and would lead to the destruc tion of all religion. Few men denj the influences of material factors over life. Those who insist that the interpreta tion of history from the materialistic standpoint would destroy the idea of Hod, are forced to Interpret from the standpoint of "special creation." Those who. contend that these ma terial factors contain within themselves the forces of their own development, insist there is no room for and. there fore, no God exists. Between these two groups, not so much contention arises over the Influences of the material fac tors as over their "origin." At this point the divergence begins. The believers in 'special creation" would have us be lieve tha,t God personally oversees all our affairs that the deserving need not worry: that those who trust In Hit will be sure of that measure of Justice, beyond which puny man cannot go. The belief or disbelief of tne Chris tian or the Infidel does not change the facts as to the struggle to live, neither !are the facts of nature changed by them. But it is true that the more one believes we will be happy hereafter, the less , he does to make us happy here. The short, and the next so long, we can afford to be "thankful" even if wo suf fer hell here, if by so doing we gain heaven hereafter. . Mr. Collins would not continue his fight against Socialism if he were not paid for his time and labor. If you Slop his compensation, regardless of his intentions or desires, he would prob nbl hunt some other equally "honest" job All new movements have been called I "nthetiRtic" or worse, bv the powers that were And the more these movements yrrjmised for the common people, the stronger the denunciation. In all ages the church of the time, which pretended that back of it was the grace and power of an Infinite, loving God. has been afraid of some little men. or movement of men. that seemed to threaten her assumed supremacy, or likely to expose her fallacious teach ings and false claims. When the argu ments of the "agitators" could not be met. religious and other prejudicial sentiments were used, so that prejudice and hate would obscure the reason.

The toOCiansis wane ine luueii ana ireem discussion of pverv phase of human life, to the end that we may arrive at the best solution of every problem that con fronts us currently. We admit that So cialism is a philosophv of life, and. therefore, insist that all problems of life should be discussed freely and hon estly. The Socialists krow that indus trial conditions under which people live exert i very determining influence upon their lives, either for good or evil. We know that when it is most difficult to set a living honestly, most crimes are committed, and that as it becomes easier to live, crime decreases. We are. there fore, exerting every effort to revolu tionize the present mode of the dis tribution of the wealth produced by la bor. We claim that labor of hand and brain, produces all wealth, and that the f producers should receive the full so cial value or tneir ton. we Know mat a class conflict now rages, and that its basis is the private ownership of the means of life.
