Most of the English sparrows in this country aro fully naturalized. Their ancestors came to this country several generations ago in the latter half of the 19th century By working two eight-hour shifts every day, including Sundays and adhering strictly to union un-ion rules, with price and a. half for overtime, the English sparrows soon acquired a commanding position In society and spread out from the east to the western frontior, following the usual course of empire, until at last they crossed the Rockies and the Sierras and bathed their tired pinions in the briny waves which break against the Golden Gate. In the course of their victorious sweep across America, thoy established establish-ed themselvos in undisputed possession posses-sion of the garbage cans In tho back yards of our best people in every city and town in tho country. They have, in fact, as much of a monopoly pf the garbage can as Rockefeller Rock-efeller has of the coal oil can. Their victory has been so complete and sudden that without doubt it suggested sug-gested the idea that the Germans could do thc same thing over-night. The English sparrows arc the kind of bird that will make a living In any , man r country. The mam reasons for this is their superb organization. They believe in collective effort. They aro strong for united action. An injury to one Is an Injury to all. Not- ice how they try to protect and aid a crippled or injured sparrow. Also, they believe in public owner- j ship. Without paying a cent of taxes, they have taken full possession of all our public streets and parks, even ax Teddy took Panama. Like those other Socialists, the ants and the bees, they are very dera-. dera-. ocratic They chase the festive cutworm cut-worm in the gardens of the rich and ' poor alike And they are not at all in favor of . private ownership of those things that are publicly used. For instance, it is , hard to imagine one sparrow saying to ', another "keep off the grass" or post- . Ing a notico saying, "all parties caught . hunting fish worms on this lawn will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. No trespassing." And suppose a sparrow did post such a notice, how long would it bo before tho grievance committee waited wait-ed on him and Inquired, "What do you mean by no trespassing?" And suppose he said, "I own this lawn. I have a quit-claim from my dad to the land and to all fiBhworras and other worms of every descrlpijon l whatsoever and to all other appurtenances appurten-ances In any way appertaining there-, to." Then the committee would say, "Where did your dad get his title?" And if he replied. "From his dad," ( then the committee" would ask, "And he? Where did he get his title?" Whereupon the party of the first part would get mad and say "Aw! go-wan, go-wan, you anarchista," which is the worst thing you can say of man or bird. But he would discreetly fade away and chase himself around a block, for birds are not as smart as human people peo-ple and cannot always be argued with. But suppose ho said to them, "I don't need this lawn. I own a number of other lawns on this street, so I will rent this lawn to any of you fellows fel-lows on shares. Out of every four worms you catch, you eat three and bring me the fourth." "Why should wo bring you the fourth?" they would ask. "Why not keep nil of them?" And he would explain carefully "Why, that Is what Is called rent" Then the sparrows would, ask him, "And why should we pay you rent?" for some of tho English sparrows are part Scotch and very canny in a trade. And he -would reply "Because I own the land," and at that they would have a fit and fall down in it, as If they had been gasBed. For mere birds, even as smartblrds , as English sparrows can not understand under-stand the advantages of such things as rent and interest. And if the would-be landlord should have his titlo to air the lawns on the block confirmed by tho highest court of English sparrow down, and should then decide to go Into tho business of catching flshworms. and' selling them at retail to the other sparrows and they should kick about the cost of ' living boin.g so h'igh and the landlord should say, "It costs me ne and one-half one-half cents, including all overhead charges, to catch each of those worms, and if I sell them at five cents each I .am only making a reasonable profit." And if the highest authorities should, in the fntereBt of democracy, appoint a dictator of the food supply and he should decree that for the period of the wax aU fiflfcyornis and cutworm should he retailed at actual cost of extracting from the soil and the landlord land-lord should then decline to extract any more or allow anybody else to do so, would the food dictator appoint a vigilance committee, and, if he did, and'the courts decided that It was an unwarranted Interference with vested rights and issue an injunction, wouldn't that be a grand and glorious feeling?
