SAVE A BILLION? ROADS DID IT FOUR TIMES OVER AL SMITH is tackling a job that is bigger than any man ever before set out to do bigger than that undertak- en by Hercules, or Ajax, or Hannibal, or Caesar, or Napoleon, or the paper hanger with the hives. Certainly bigger than the mere presidency of the United States. A1 has set out to abolish, gossip. We dont want to appear in the roll of doubter. This is no it cant be done year. We who have seen the automobile, , the airplane, the radio and the talking movie come into being, certainly should have faith that nearly anything is possible. But there is a limit to faith. It is even conceivable that human energy, initiative, and intelligence may discover the secret of protoplasm, or amend the law of supply and demand, or suspend the process of fermentation, or devise ways and means by which the leopard may change his spots. But to abolish gossip, that is beyond the scope of our finite compreone-arm- ONE OF the most unusual situations ever known in relation to big game has developed in Pennsylvania, where the board of game commissioners have found it necessary to declare an open season for the shooting of female deer. That such a condition could develop in an eastern or for that matter, any state in modem times, is a thing which is hard to comprehend by sportsmen of almost any section of the country excepting the Keystone commonwealth. Further cause for amazement is found in the official announcement that the older does are so plentiful that they have depleted tne natural food supply to such an extent that thousands of young deer are literally starving to death and that game wardens in several counties report seeing many famished animals and frequently, the carcasses of deer which have died of hunger. , ' According to game authorities, the adult deer have denuded trees and bushes, upon which the animals feed, to a height which places the food above the reach of fawns, whose numbers have increased too rapidly because of the vast number of parent stock. The superabundance of deer is pointed to by Pennsylvania officials and the sportsmen of the state in sub- stantiation of the claim that by fol- lowing the Pennsylvania plan, any community may have all the game it needs, provided that conditions are right for natural propagation and stocking, supplemented by sane game laws, aimed to permit shooting, but with the necessary safeguards against abuse of reasonable bag limits and open seasons. ONE THING BEYOND THEM. ed hension. The cause is a worthy one. Altho it must be admitted that its success would make life a puny and drab thing What would the average sewing circle, or bridge party, Pull- for many. man smoker or business conference be, without gossip? What would politics be with gossip gone? Nevertheless the cause, we repeat, is worthy. If A1 wins the presidency his fame, tho great, will be limited and temporal. If he wins the abolition of gossip he will be immortal, for he will have altered human nature. Rocky Moun- tain News.

NO MATTER how many policies the Democrats may appropriate they cannot take away Irom the Republican camp the character and regard of Herbert Hoover. The Smith strategists may perform the miracle of making the donkey and the tiger lie down together. thods, no matter how much it hurts (particularly if it hurt the opposition) we cannot help wondering whether it might not be a good thing for some of our prevalent campaign .orators, and otherwise, to consider it that little story once in awhile. IS IT difficult to save a billion dollars? J. T. Saunders, freight traffic manager for Southern Pacific, says that the Class 1 railways of the United States saved over four times this amount for their patrons since 1921 in reduced freight ratet alone. If freight rates that were in effect in 1921, Saunders said, had not been reduced, the railroads last year would have taken in nearly $836,000,-00- 0 more than they actually received for transporting their patrons' freight shipments. Since 1921 the savings to shippers through reduced rates have totaled $4,040,000,000. These savings reflect stringent economy and efficiency in management, and the investment of nearly five billion dollars for improvements and extensions of railway facilities self-appoint- ed De--tro- Free Press.
