\\ VMS CAPITAL RELOCATEI)
Editor Register:
If you men are ever thinking of re-
locating t.he capital according to fed-
eral law. do not offer a foot of ground
until the votes are counted, for if you
do it will be illegal because the law
only requires the number of votes cast
on the question. Carry out the law to
the letter. 1 lived in Nebraska when
that state had trouble about their cap-
ital location. The federal govern-
ment located it at Syracuse, Nebr
Then the legislature located it at
Omaha becausc it was the largest town
in the state, a democratic doctrine or
states rights. When the time came to
enforce the law the contesting towns
offered certain inducements in order
to get the capital. The town of Lin-
coln offered one section of land all in
one body owned by four men. Lin-
coln won. That's been the experience
of nearly every state in the Union to
increase the burden of taxation after
Judge Marshall's day, for he executed
and enforced the federal laws. Then
when I came to live in Guthrie, a wo-
man told me her father was one of the
four men that gave the land, and that
she could put a cloud on the whole
town if she was of a mind to do so,
because it was located contrary to both
federal and state laws by a bribe. The
capital of thi sstate should be located
according to law to teach the rising
generation a valuable lesson for their
future welfare. In the state of Iowa,
the people located the capital in Iowa
City according to history contrary to
fedoral law by states rights doctrine
and completed the building. Kansas
lost tier capital aand regained it after
many years.
Please don't get into any dispute or
(tuarrel about this campaign dope by
the democrats by asking Rev. Proctor
to give his views on the boy question,
because the women have had the worst
of It from Adam down. Men write
such articles and give woman the cred
i tfor all the meanness that has been
said or done in this world. If 1 had
written that letter without my signa-
ture he would not have had it pub-
lished. He said editorially last sum
mer it was not time to destroy this
religious corruption that kills and mur
ders people. Well then, give the boys
and girls equal rights and equal jus-
tice. The boy is no better than the
girl, nor the girl any better than the
boy. Very respect fully.

Oyeter Bay, N. Y.. April 23.—Colonel
Roosevelt issued the folloing state-

"Men are saying that they stand be

I wish to speak for the men who in

therefore would stand between danger
and the men who are behind or be-
side the President.
"These are the men who "will go to
the war at once if there is war with
Germany, or with any other great
power, and who feel as 1 do, that we
would far rather go to war unpre-
pared than see our women and chilren

Federal Physicist Tells Where 'Safest'
Places Are and How to Protect
Stock.
Washington, April 22.—A study of
electrical storms by O. S. Peters, a
physicist of the Bureau of Sandards,
department of Commerce, shows that
a Hash oi lightning, usually consisting
of several separate discharges, may
uot last altogether longer than 10,-
35,000 of a second. 'Each of the dis-
charges composing tihe stroke may not
last over 1-35,000 of a second, and is
frequently as fast as 1-200,000 of a
second.
.No place in the path of a thunder-
storm is safe from being struck by
lightning, tout the thing that is least
likely to be .hit by a bolt is a house
equipped with lightning rods. The next
safest place, according to Peters, Is an
unprotected house.
A current of hot air ascending from
a chimney is apt to attract a stroke,
and people should not stand near
stoves or other metal objects, Includ-
ing telephones and screens.
"Out of doors,'' he says, "the most
dangerous places are evidently in
open fields, under isolated trees and
near wire fences. Small sheds and
other shelters are almost equally as
dangerous as isolated trees, especially
would lead and care for them hav
been trained in advance.
"They will be but cheered needless-
ly in battle because we have failed to
prepare masses of artillery and ma-
chine guns and motor trucks, and
shells, and aeroplanes, and 'have fail-
ed to provide and train the men who
shall manage all the formidable and
delicate mechanism of war.
"Twenty-one months have passed
since the great war began; and during
all this time we have not prepared in
even the samllest degree, in order, if
possible, to avert war from us, or If
it could not be averted to wage It effi-
ciently and successfully.
"The pacifist and anti-preparedness
people have had their will and our
rulers at Washington have bowed to
them and left us helpless and with
blind fatuity they said they did this
In the Interests of peace.
"When will our people learn that
the peace of unpreparedness is the
peace of cowardice and folly, and may
lead to overwhelming disaster?
"Fourteen months ago we notified
Germany that if she did what ever
since she has done and continued to
do. we would hold her to a strict ac-
countability. Such language could
only be justified if immediately and

VOU MEEIts VSKED TO COUNT
BIRDS IN MAY WD JUNE.
Breeding Sea «n Designated by Bio-
logical Bureau for Third Annual
SURVEY.
Washington, April 22.—The third
annual bird count of the United States
will be made by the Bureau of Bio-
logical Survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture during the
breeding season in May and June. In
making this survey the bureau will
rely largely on persons interested in
bird life who aguee to act as volun-
teer enumerators and count the differ-
ent kinds of birds found in a 40 or 80
acre farm or woodland tract near
their homes. The counts thus made
by unpaid observers during the last
two summers have furnished to the
department valuable data on the char-
acter. number and distribution of the
bird population
This year the ornithologists of the
department wish particularly to se-
cure a large number of volunteers in
the West to report on the bird life iu
th plains, the semi-arid regions, the
deserts and the mountains in that part
of the United States. Especial attent-
ion also is to be given to securing data
as to the thirds In the fruit, districts
of the Pacific Coast and in the Soutu
Atlantic and Gulf States.
The information collected this year,
it is believed, will be of special value
in enabling the department to test the
efTect of state and national bird laws
and also in determining what relation-
ship exists between bird life and the
prevalence of locusts, grasshoppers
and other insect pests in different
I localities.
As it is Impossible to make an ac-
tual count of all the birds In any ex-
tended district, each enumerator is
asked to report only upon the number
of birds breeding in a selected area
of 40 to 80 acres in country or subur
ban districts. From tiie figures thus
obtained, those in charge are able to
approximate the total numiber of birds
of each kind in different sections of
the country.
Enumerators who wish to report on
birds on farms are asked to choose an
area hich includes farm buildings
shade trees, orchards, plowed land,
pasture or meadow or swamp but not
very much woodland. The enumerator
■begins his survey at daylight some
morning and zigzags back and forth
in the selected area counting the male
birds.
Early in the morning during the
last of -May or the first week of June
every male bird should be in full song
end therefore easily counted. The
count of one day is easily verified by
observation on several mornings.
The height of the breeding season
should be chosen for this work. 'In the
latitude of Washington May 30 is
about the proper date for the count,
and south of Washington even an ear-
ler date should be selected.
In addition to reports on farms and
suburbs, enumerators who can do so
will be asked to report on the birds in
a timber area of about 40 or in an
isolated bit of woodland of from 10 to
20 acres.
Those wishing to take part in the
survey can obtain complete instruct-
ion by writing to the Bureau of Bio-
logical Survey, United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture. Washington. The
work, however, calls for considerable
knowledge and only those who can
readily distinguish the different kinds
should undertake to make returns for
their localities.
