it wasn't safe to be ont without the

we have sample of how much good
our municipal court is to the country
towns. LII the tramps had been really
serlous In their threats, which is not
improbable, lynch law would have
been the only resort. As it was we
would either have been forced to tele-
graph to Manitowoc for officers or send
constable to Manitowoc, obtain a
warrant and then return to serve it.
If the power hadn't been taken
away from the Justices of tie Peace
those men would have been dealt with
as they deserved and the expense
would not have been near as large as
it would have been had the citizen Of

Editor Pilot
Permit me through your columns TO
call attention to an article on the enforce
ment OF the game laws in this county
which appeared in the columns of The
Chronicle of last week. The purport of
the article was seemingly to encourage
The violation of the game laws. This is
position which no man, and certainly
no editor should take, even assuming
that the game laws trespass upon midi
vldual, rights which they do not.
The game laws are designed to prevent
the determination of game and to prote t
singing biids,-a laudable purpose GER
talnly. That they have done so is evi
dent TO any one whose opportunity for
observation enables him - compare past
conditions With the present. re the laws
are bnrdensome repeal and not violation
IS the proper remedy. But the burden"
10 the tax payers is wholly imaginary
Will the Chronicle furnish a statement
or the expense to the county of the en-
forcement of the game laws and thus
fortify the statement 1T makes with snct
apparent confidence?
The Chronicle says the laws are intend
ed to protect game for the 'sole benefit
agery has not been wholly obIiterated.'
Protect 1t from whom? From those in
WHOM ancestral savagery" has been OBJ
liberated? The product of modern civil
lzatlon, gentle as sucking dove, wants
the right to kill at all times, but the "sav
age insists that during the period of pro
pagatlon and growth, game shall be free
from slaughter and that means of whole
9alQ 0lQnrhfop shall
Has not Mr.. Nash become mixed In his
terms?
There is wide difference between
the sportsman ano the pot hunter The
former wonld not exterminate game and
thus rid the woods of one of their charms
The latter gives no thought to the future.
The Two Rivers Gun Club has spent
hundreds of dollars in the propagation
| of game in the pleasure of which all can
share 10 proper season. 1t is poor en-
cOnragement to them when the violation
of game laws, upon the observance of
which depends the success of their efforts
is thus openly advocated
The game warden in this community
intends to do his duty regardless of the
social or political influence of offenders,
and trusts that in time those inclined
toward violation of the law, will learn that
their interests. in this respect, as we'll as
those OF others having interest," in "the
chase" are best served by observance of n
law enacted for a good purpose. The law
now by prohibiting trespass gives the man
practical ownership of game while on his
property. He cannot acquire absolute
title to wild game and thus is interested
10 protecting 1t in the expectation that
others will do likewise
