OUR GREATEST HERITAGE NOT
CONSERVED RESOURCES.
The idea suggested by K. C Bontils, one of
the proprietors and editors of the Denver Post, that
the greatest heritage Americans of this generation
got from their ancestors was the energy and daring
to do things, the initiative and ability to carry on
the battle for economic efficiency and prosperity and
(ocial and pdltical advancement and the products
<1 their wuiergetically directed lives. It is a thought
worth considering. The progress and profits that are
the result of the activity and labor of the past, the
achievements of those who have gone before, the
developed resources and producing industries, are the
things which mark the starting point of the oncoming
generation. The more resources we develop, the
more industries we itart, tlie more capital we leave
at work, the greater energy we pass on to the next
generation, the better will he its condition when it
comes on the scene. How fortunate are the children
of tills generation that those just ahead of them
built the railroads, cleared away the lands and
established producing farms, harnessed a large part of
the water power, piled up income-earning investments
and had things working when they arrived! How
much better that is for them than the wilderness
and barren plains, the unworking waterfalls and
rhipless seas, that were found by those who came
before! That is why modern public schools and
great educational Institutions were ready for them
to nil. They have started where their parents
left off.
Let (hose of this generation carry on ns the
generations behind did and the next generation will
I trnmggsun ably better off thaq it will be if we sit
In idleness and hand a wilderness over to them. Let
us bequeath to the next generation examples of
energy and accomplishment and we shall do far more
for it than if we are compelled to turn over unused
and unworking resources and no capital to set them
to- work ns evidences of slothful and stagnant years.
MEXICAN RECOGNITION.
That the Government of Mexico will be reeogr.i/ted
by the United States at an early date seems to be
the fixed belief of the public. A basis for satisfying
the American State Department on the one hand
and without humiliating the sovereignty of Mexico
on the other hand seernr in a fair way of discovery,
if. Indeed, the discovery has not actually been made,
leaving only come of the details to ire worked out.
Let u: hope that the belief is based on fact.
Mexico ought to be recognized. The dovernment of
President Obrcgon is stable. Nearly three yearn of
peace and order have proved it. Not since the days
of Diaz has the country south of the Rio Grande had
so firm a hand at the helm, and never has so large
a percentage of the people responded to the hemlsman
as under Ihe able guidance of President Obrcgon.
The Mexican Government has been entitled by all
the rules to recognition as .1 Government for a long
time. The differences between that country and this
are differences that ought to be subjects for two
Governments on an equal basis, each recognizing the
oilier, to discuss in orderly diplomatic manner.
MAKE WAR ON GAME-SLAYING ANIMALS
AND niRD.v
4
A movement is under way to protect tlie g.,ine of
the country by enlisting tlie aid of sportsmen in shoot
ing gam ■ destroying animals and birds before they
have an opportunity to cause destruction during the
nesting and mating s aeons. It is planned to have
every sportsman interested In game protection, spend
some time ridding woods, fields and marshes of pre
datoiy hawks, owls, eagles, crows and other birds,
wear is and oilier animals which annually kill ten
timec as much game as all gunners combined. It lisa
been stated that the red squirrel alone will kill
200 birds a season, while the great horned ovl de
cuoys annually covey alter covey of quail. Special
efforts are being made to enlist the rid of game
lovers against the crow who is described as destroying
Individually more birds of all kinds, more bird's eggs
and young poultry than any other bird that ever
flapped a wing,
All game destroying animals and birds are classed
by sportsmen and game levers as vermin, and it is
expected that vermin-hunting elubs can be organised
and that members of established gun clubs will join
in the movement by going inlo the woods and shoot
ing as many game destroyers as they can And.
Supporting this proposition, a letter from Peter
P. Cainey. editrr of the National Sports Syndicate of
New Haven, Conn., contains the following.
Have you stopped to think about your
future game shooting?
If not, it's time you did think about it!!
If proper tteps are taken NOW you and
1—and future generations as well — will have
all the game shooting we want.
Hawks, owls, crows and other vermin kill
ten times as much game each year as all
the hunters combined.
If the game is to be preserved for the
sportsman, he must help keep down the ver
min which deprive* him of his shooting.
Get busy now! Help to organize the
portsmen of your locality Into a Vermin
Hunting Club.
Kill off a fen*' hawks, owls and crows this
Summer and hunting will be much better
this Fall. And next year It will be still
better.
If everyone does hie share, in a few years
we will have more game than we ever had in
this country. Then we will all be able to
enjoy plenty of game-shooting sport.
Get busy now with your brother sports
men. Write us and we will send full par
ticulars on how to organize a Vermin
Hunting Club.
The sportmen's war against birds and animals
of prey seems to hate met with no rebuke from that
enthusiastic protector of wild-life. Dr. Hornaday. By
the way, Dr Hornaday has been long silent about the
blood thirst of Alaskans who are so anxious to ex
terminate the brown bear breed and the cagle3.
Perhaps ho has seen the light.
There have been more republics and self-govern
ing governments destroyed by intolerant and tyran
nical majorities than in any other manner. There Is
no more reason why a self-governing country should
not have a tolerant government than these is why a
monarchy should be intolerant.

The results would indicate that it was not, after
all, a case of Gibbons vs. Dempsey but a case of
Dcmprcy and Gibbons vs. Shelby and Great Falls.
Henry and John D.
(New York World.)
The sift of John D. Rockefeller jr. of $150,000
for the development of the Insulin cure for dia
I Petes has a bearing on the question put by Chauncey
i m. Dcpew concerning the comparative popularity of
the senior John I). Rockefeller and Henry Ford. 'After
seventy years of political experience,” says Mr. Dcpew,
"I can't understand the phychology that makes Ford
a Presidential candidate. Take John D. Rockefeller,
for Instance. lie has spent $500,000,000 for hu
manity. yet he couldn't be elected to any office.
I Rut Mr. Ford, who has also devoted himself to1
| making money, although he has not given much
jof it away, appears to be a popular choice fur the;
! Presidency. 1 cannot understand it."
Nobody could explain, of course, what it is that,
! makes the undoubted difference between Ford and
Rockefeller when It comes to popular appeal. The|
public is composed of individuals, and the reaction ,
of any one citizen toward Ford and Rockefeller |
| would be his own. Rut there is such a thing as a|
jgcneral feeling, a prevalent attitude toward public |
'men. Toward Mr. Ford the average unsuccessful Am
erican feels rather tolerant and affectionate, as hej
would toward an elder brother who, though no wiser J
| than anybody elre, had by a queer streak of luck;
become enormously wealthy. Toward Mr. Rockefeller!
the same American feels rather chilly, distrusting tho
cooler and more calculating intelligence.
Or that used to be the sentiment. Today Mr. I
Rockefeller is mildly regarded. He receives little |
{-affection and little opprrbrium. The public think: I
Mess often of him than of old, and more kindly. But
he never would have been pushed for the Presidency,
Mike Henry. Ho hadn't the gift.
Business Men Protesting.
(Grain Dealers' Journal.)
J Government by commissions, boards and bureaus Is,
''becoming extremely burdensome to taxpayers. Their
! bungling methods discourage private enterprise and
I strangle individual Initiative. These bureaucrats
.ciedit no Judgent other than their own; recognize no
! authority higher than themselves. If they spend j
i double the amount appropriated for their use the
next Congress meekly passes their proposed deficiency
■ appropriation bill and the taxpayers dig up the cost.
One by one additional lines of 'business are being
made the prey of the omnivorous bureaucrats. Their
greedy search for more sinecures leads them to cham
pion the cause of any new venture into State social
ism that radical stokers of discontent may propose.
Their own wants blind them to the needs of the
nation and the restrictions of our Constitution.
No sooner have they saddled an army of pap
suckers onto one line of business than they apply
themselves to drafting new laws and regulations for
other linen of business. By attacking one line at a
Mime they attain their purpose without much op
position.
The one encouraging sign of the times is that
the business and profsesional men of the land are
| alert to the insidious propaganda being promulgated
I by the bilious bureaucrats and have already started
jan active agitation to scrape these burdensome bar
nacles off the ship of state.
No well planned campaign for relief has been
made public, but every address before gatherings
of business and professional men resounds with
warnings against the insidious encroachments of the
disloyal bureaucrats and the violent propaganda of
the inflammatory promoters of plots and conspirators
against our Constitution, the rights of property and
the individual. When all the commercial. Industrial
and professional organizations of each State join in
a well directed campaign to force our law makers to
bring our government back to the limitations of the
I Constitution we will obtain relief from ruinous
| bureaucracy, paternalism and State socialism.

Curley.
(New York Tribune.)
Another link with the real Wild West Ir gone,
jc'urley, the Crow Indian scout who fought with Oen
I era! Custer and alone survived the massacre, is dead,
j ‘‘Heap silent” was Curley. For years It was sup
posed, and so stated by historians, that not a soul
on Custer's side lived to tell the story of the Little
Dig Morn. And all the while Curley, who had escaped
by mingling with the Sioux, was ranching it like any
everyday modern redskin near the f*row agency in
Montana. Only lately the War Department looked
him up and awarded him a pension on the proof
of his unique adventure. Now he lies buried on the
Custer battlefield.
The tomahawks have long Bince been beaten into
plowshares on the Western land, and the people of
Sitting Bull, instead of going on the warpath, bring
lawsuits against Cncle S'am for broken contracts
or whatever damage he is alleged to have done them.
No more war paint, no more scalping, but still a
little dancing and rainmaking if the Indian Bureau
will be so good as to permit it.
It would be interesting to know what Curley
thought of the tame new manners, if he were given
at all to contemplation. Safe to say he will not
choose a farmhouse for his wigwam in the happy
hunting ground,
