Our Game Again.
Mr.. Editor

laws. IN last weeks AMERICAN, and although
i seems hardly worth replying to, will ask
for little Of your valuable space in which
TO say a few words.
The article In question seems more a plea
for one-armed or otherwise crippled soldiers
than for anyone or anything else. And a
person might be led to believe that, notwith.
standing our government has dealt literally
with its injured soldiers, that it was in duty
bound to allow them privileges and licenses
that were not allowable to others, or either
that the crippled soldier had become so ac-
customed to butchery and slaughter that he
should be allowed to continue this pleasant
pastime upon our forest game. and that il
would be decidedly wrong TO stop him.
These remarks are made in no slurring
mood. for no one appreciates the value Of
our soldiers services better than myself. and
they cannot be too well paid, but there are
other and better ways Of rewarding them
than free license to destroy our denizens
OF the forest that are made for US all 10 en-
JOY.
The argument in the article is too weak
and tiimsyto hardly meri, notice.
As YOU say, Mr.. Editor. these men do not
seem to realize that to continue this whole
sale killing, the opportunity even to them
selves will he lost IN few years BY the COM
| plete determination Of our game Ii has
been the experience Of other states that IN
/ less the game and game fish have been pro
tected by laws and their enforcement, that
/ they have become practically eXterminated,
and It seems selieyIdent fact that such
would soon be the case in our own state.
