A BILL has been introduced in the
General Assembly to prohibit the killing
of quail for five years from November
next, and to place rigid restrictions on
the killing of squirrels and other game.
In order to the passage of the bill an
effort is being made to learn the senti-
ment of the hunters and sportsmen on
the subject. The question is not one in
which the wishes of hunters and sports
men should be considered, except in so
far as they are owners of game. We
contend that the owner of game has the
inborn right to kill game on his premises
whenever he desires, and that any law
that restricts this privilege is unjust.
The only condition under which a re-
strictive law could be just is when it is
intended only to prevent the extinction
of game. The farmers and owners
of game preserves are alone the ones to
ask for the passage of the bill. If they
desire it, well and right, but if not the
bill should 60 under.

NO WAR.

The probability of war with Chilli has
vanished. To the ultimatum of the
United States the naughty little country
returns grudging acknowledgement of
wrong. She withdraws Senior Matta's s
note and her own request for Egan's
withdrawal, and proposes that the Balti-
more affair be submitted to the arbitra-
ton of some neutral nation or to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
This will be likely to end the affair after
some diplomatic skirmishing. And it
will end it in the right way. There was
no necessity for war. Only the rugged,
semi civilized, arrogant, mountaineer
spirit of the Chilian has stood in the
way of sooner adjustment of the
matter. Had the trouble been with an
European country, it would long ago
have been settled.
This is no year for war. The age of
wars ought to be past. AS civilization
advances, peace sentiment and the
opinion that all international difficulties
should be adjusted bloodlessly, grows
stronger. Had this great country wiped
Chilli off the map of America by stub
born war, the strength of the peace SEN
timent would have been weakened, and
the worlds civilization would have
retrograded half century. The longer
the world is without war, the less it
wants it. War is only a synonym
of barbarism. National dignity is a
small matter to fose thousands of lives
for. Tyranny is the only excuse for
war.
