Fish and Game LEGISLATION.

Legislation relating to the protection
of our fish and game and the propaga-
ton Of the former was an important
feature of the work of the last Legis-
lature. 1t has been productive Of good
results but also seems to have opened
up to view other needs Of additional
lawmaking in order to secure the end
sought. The incoming Legislature I'M
doubleday will be called upon to con-
slider these new demands and much
interest will probably be aroused in
consequence. Moreover the success Of
united effort on the part of sportsmen
throughout the State in securing that
which was obtained at the last ses-
sion is very good assurance that an at
tempt to obtain such unity of purpose
and agreement as to ways and means
will again be made. Indeed it is now
being made and the interview with
Commissioner Carleton, published this
morning. is avowedly designed for that
purpose.
The codification of the fish and game
laws was an undertaking requiring

today offers to those seeking princely
sport of successfully hunting the mon

country. Already reports from the far
West show that the big game of the
Rockies is going the way of the buff
falo of the plains and that the moose
is more and more the object which
most excites the desire of the arden,
sportsmen.
Mr.. Carleton apparently thinks the
demand for greater number Of val
dens can be met by licensing guides
and making them protectors of the
game as well as useful to those who
have the thirst for slaughter. Within
few years much has been accom-
plished' in the way Of bringing the
guides into closer sympathy with the
enforcement of the game laws. Really
no individual in the State profits more
by such enforcement than do the
guides themselves. 1t is to be hoped
thai they have arrived at such views
of the matter that they may be safely
empowered to act as factors in the
work. Ii has also been amply demon
strated that deer dog in the woods is
lh.ly to give chase to deer regardless
of what the law may say respecting
such a performance, hence it is not
surprising that the commissioner
suggests that no dogs be allowed in
the woods without a license to b.

If we only knew how dangerous. insid

The longer we wait. the more dangerous
it Is likely to become.
So the sooner we take Shaker Digestive

Indigestion Is dangerous because il
