DOES NOT LIKE 1T.
Trade Journal scores the Newly
Passed Game Law.

After quoting the provisions of the new
game and fish law, as already published, the
st. Paul Trade Journal says:
The last legislature appears to have done
its best and worst-zto deprive Minnesota of
those resources which her ten thousand lakes,
great river privileges and immense natural
game preserves should afford to her citizens
and business and transportation interests. A
brief survey of the above resume of the game
and fish legislation, as it now exists, shows
plainly that it is intended to secure to a state
bureau continued official existence and sal
aried prosperity and to the resident sportsmen
the enjoyment of game which is preserved
on lands belonging to others, and the fish of
streams and lakes, from which the abettors
can secure little or no income.
The citizens of the towns and cities of Min
nesota are denied the privilege of buying any
partridge, venison, brook trout or black bass
from whatever source derived, and the Indian
and while hunter must confine his sale of fish
and game to coarse food dishes, and quail,
prairie chicken, snipe, woodcock, aquatic
fowl, bear meat, squirrels and rabbits. Mas
sachusetts has been settled for over 270 years,
and has never deemed it necessary to restrict
the sale of any game or fish, except when out
of season. Millions of money have been
earned by hunters, game dealers and purvey-
ors for the epcure and hotel guest, and still
there are red deer in her forests, and a
steady, If limited, supply of all the game
birds and fish which existed when the May
flower first landed. She has not denied visit
ing Sportsmen the privilege due to guest as
has North Dakota, nor has she refused to
her city population their share of the wild
game which they are taxed to preserve and
replenish.
Maine has for nearly 200 years been drawn
upon to supply the markets Of her sister col
oDies and states, and today her yearly reve-
nuas from fish and game, and the summer
visitors who patrcnize her thousand hotels
beach and lake houses amounts to many mil
lions of dollars. She has spent and is spend
ing large amount of money in propagating
fish and enforcing the observance of the close
season, but she has not been so short sighted
as to deny to SO per cent of her population
any share in the choicest of her game and
fish, as has Minnesota.
The summer and fall should gather in Min
nesGta myriads of visitors who need and
would enjoy the scenery. rest and recreation
which our forests and lakes would give them
but of this number the larger part have no
skill hunters or fishermen, and must
largely depend on the game purchased of the
skilled local hunter and fisherman. No man
today would be safe in building fine lake
hotel or forest lodge for the accommodation
Of this class. and depend upon the visitors to
furnish a steady supply of the delicacies
which they crave and demand. They will not
come to Minnesota to eat tough beef and lean
mutton. nor will they be satisfied to take
fisherman's luck instead of being able to eat
when they please Of the local fish and game
for which they pay.

CoLLIDED WITH A CAR.

"Fans" Are Given a Scare by a Run
away.
A serious accident was narrowly
averted at Eighth and Cedar streets
yesterday afternoon, when a runaway
horse dashed into the trailer Of a base
ball train well filed with passengers.
The force Of the collision threw the
horse to the ground and knocked the
car from the tracks, but resulted in no
injury to the passengers. The portion
of the car struck by the horse was
somewhat damaged, the rear footboard
being broken off and the wire protector
badly bent The horse was consider
ably cut and bruised by the sudden
stoppage of his headlong rush, but re-
gained his feet and ran to central fire
headquarters, where he was corralled
by Fireman F. H. Gum.
The animal is owned by the North
Star Meat company, and was fastened
at Ninth and Fort streets. aBeeoming
frightened at flying paper, It broke
away and started down the street at
a wild gallop. Swerving sharply around
the corner Of Cedar street the horse
plunged down the incline at this point
as though projected from a catapult.
When the me toneer saw the runaway
bearing down upon his train it was too
late to reverse the current and to APP
ply the brakes meant only more seri-
Gus results than could attend an effort
to cut in ahead Of the horse. The
full current was thrown on. but the
trailer was directly in the way of the
runaway when the collision came,
though the passengers had seen the
mad approach of the horse and had
saved themselves by crowdfng to- the
forward end of the coach. The horse
appeared not to see the car until quite
close, and it then attempted to turn
down Eighth street. but only succeeded
in hurting its body sideways against
the car instead of striking it head first.
So violent was the force of the COLI
sion that the hind wheels of the car
were lifted clear off the tracks and
hoisted over a foot off the rails. After
a delay of fifteen minutes the car was
placed on the track and continued it's
trip to Lexington park.

1t was the 18th of May. 1914, the chosen
representatives of the Norwegian people at
Eidsyold proclaimed the independence of Nor
way and adopted the freest constitution that
any country in the old world is now living
UNDER After the constitution had been

joined hands and took the solemn oath that
Norway always should remain free and inde-

On this foundation, so well built, the Nor

There have been troublous times, but the
progressive element has always come out on
top, and today Norway is a monarchy in
