A Time For
Farmers to Act.

The Cleveland Leader says the
sportsmen of the State have been work.

the place of the present game laws of
the State, and that they will press it
upon the coming Legislature. OF
course the change sought is In the in

1t seems to US, It is about time the
farmers of the State took this matter
into their hands. 1t is their lands that
are invaded, their interests that are
injured, and their stock frightened
and endangered.
There Is no more reason why men
should have q right to hunt rabbits on
John Smiths farm In the country than
they should have right to hunt rats
ON John Jones lot in the city-without
his consent.
Hunting was once a necessity, but
that was in days when game was
sought for food, or killed to prevent
its destroying crops.
Hunters today, tramp over farms.
injure fences, scare stock. and in nu-
merous instances shoot stock, insult
farmers, destroy game that protect
farmers crops from the ravages Of in
sects, and shoot one another.
All this Is done in the name oi
s'sport," as If legal rights and person
al safety were not to be considered.
Many farmers think quail would mul
