GAME LAW
EFFECTIVE
Game Warden Scott Gives a Good Ac.
count of Himself and
Deputies.
TwENTY.sEvEN CONVICTIONS
No Existing Disease Among Deer-ln.
dams Not Restricted Sufficiently
and Kill Too Much Game.

State Game Warden Scott made his
Official re port to Gov. Toole last
Thursday and showed that forty-siX
complaints had been made since
March by himself and deputies, which
resulted In twenty-seven convictions,
He stated that the main trouble met
with was the fact that the law at
present allowed the Indians as many
hunting privileges as any other resi-
dent OF the state and advantage was
taken OF this and a large quantity Of
game killed by them in excess oil the
amount anowed by law.
Tie game warden said that he Ia"
conducted a thorough Investigation
og the reported diseas" among deer
alau- the Missouri river and had
found that it was nothing serious.
NotAlug has boon heard of the matter
oI lac and whatever the disease may
have been ii is not spreading and nc
serious consequences are to be aDpre'
hended from that source.
Difficulties Met With.
Among the many hard propositions
that we have had to deal with is the
misintcrpretation of the law relative
70 the duties Of our department. The
majority OF the people think that the
game laws are a special and distinct
set OF laws put aside for the enforce
ment by game wardens only, and tina
no other officer has any right to en-
force them. This belief is entertain
ed not only by the people of the state
generally, but by many of our peace
officers as well. | should, therefore,
like to call their attention to an ex.
tIact from section 20 of house bill 1913
session laws of 1897, which reads as
follows:
1t is further provided and declared
to be the duty of any sheriff or peace
officer of any county of this state,
and the county attorneys OF the re.

To their knowledge, or they shall have
reason to believe that any person LAS
violated any of the sections of this
act. to commence criminal proceed.
ings against them, either in the jus.
tice or district court, as in their judg
ment shall be proper, and any failure
or the part of any county attorney,
sheriff or other peace officer or game
warden, who has knowledge of the
violation of any OF the provisions of
this act, to commence such proceed.

and shall be punished of a fine not to
exceed $500 or by Imprisonment in
the county Jail for not less than six
months, or both such fine and i'm
prisonment in the discretion of the
court. and shall forfeit his Office"
When We take into consideration
that u state has the vast area of
l46,S50 square miles, and that we
have only eight deputy game wardens
and that the average district for each
contains 1896 square miles, we can

Law Is Very Effective.


Law Is Very Effective.
The present endeayor to rigidly en-
force the game laws ] believe has had
a good moral erect in preserving the
game. Many people have awakened
to the fact that unless the game is
protected, our tsate, which is one OF
the greatest game preserves in the
United States today, will soon be
completely depopulated of its game.
and they are assisting greatly in our
work. ! am at present corresponding
with the officers of the Yellowstone
national park for the purpose of or
ganizing some system for the better
protection of game in the districts
adjacent to the park, and | am conf
dent that the game in that locality
will be looked after better this winter
than ever before.
When the law for the preservation
of game of this state went into active
many doubted It's efficiency
to accomplish the results designed.
Later 1t was cen that it was bene-
fetal, and / and my deputies have
had active support of many who in
the past paid little heed to the sub
jcct. With this as the record for the
first year OF the operation of the law.
am justified in expressing the BELIEF
that in the coming year. not only will
the results in the way of the preserv-
unlawful slaughter be greater, but
that in the enforcement Of the law
We will have the more united support
OF the people. AS a fuller under
standing of the law is had. its en-.
forcement will be less difficult.

cooperation OF the other officers OF
the law. feel confident that as soon
as the other officers realize that il
Is part of their duty to enforce the
game laws, they will endeavor to do
so earnestly.

DANTZIC, Sept. 13.-After the conclusion
of the naval maneuvers to-day Emperor
William and Emperor Nicholas took lunch
con on board the German imperial yacht
Hohenzollern, the party including Count
Won Buelow and Count Lamsdorff. There
were no speeches. The two monarchs then
held long and animated conversation on
deck, after which the Car bade a cordial
farewell to Prince Henry Of Prussia and
the other German guests, while the Kaiser
expressed to Count Larmsdorff his sincere
pleasure at having met him. Emperor
Nicholas testified also to the qualification
he had received from his visit.
Then Emperor William accompanied the
Car to the Russian imperial yacht Stand
art, where he babe him cordial farewell,
after which he returned to the Hohenzol-

anchor, and with the STANDARD leading,
started through the two lines of the Ger

imperial salute was fired off Hela and the

TEACHING SEDITION.

A manufacturing town in Massachusetts,
is now wrought up over the statements of
an ex-Unitarian clergyman who quit
preaching and turned agitator. The Presi-
dent was assailed by an assassin and few
Of the ex-clergymans wild and wicked ut
terances have been gathered up and
printed in the Boston Journal The follow
ing are samples:

Young men, save your money. and when
you have gathered together $50, buy a
rifle or shotgun and learn to use it.
Ii you are earning IS a day here your
employers are making 50; you get but two
thirds OF what you earn.
A few days before the shooting of the
President this agitator used the following
expression in an address:
The trusts must be put down, even if we
nave TO arm ourselves, and it might be
Wen TO pegln the shooting with the Presi-
dent.
In view Of the terrible crime of Friday
of last week, these words take on a new
significance. The public, ten days ago, did
not very much mind such expressions as
are quoted. They would say that the man
is crank and a fool, and that nobody
would be influenced by his wild talk. Now
it is different; they see that just such talk
breeds the spirit Of lawlessness, and law
lessness leads to anarchy. And here it may
be said that from the lawlessness and the
hatred Of law to anarchy is a down grade
with no way stations.
Intelligent people imagine that there are
Paxrr ha-
lieve such wild sayings. 1t is a mistake;
there are thousands and thousands Of such

they read nothing but the vicious newspa-

that it is safe to say that there are thou
sands Of people who accept as truth such
incendiary speeches. 1t may be asked, who
support the street orators who so about
denouncing the government? During more
than two weeks we had in indianapolis an
orator somewhat milder than the Massa-
chusetts ex-preacher, preaching the same
heresies. Doubtless. such men are talking
the same dangerous heresies in most of the
cities. They must represent an organiza-
ton.
The country is warned against these in
cendiary orators and newspapers, and we
may be sure that it will be made a felony
to speak or print words which incite to

THE SENSE OF personal GRIEF.

The death of President Mckinley after
a season of buoyant hopefulness has filled
the hearts of the American people with a
grief which only comes with a keen sense
OF personal bereavement. 1t does not ex-
press itself in words or in tears, but has
the stiffness of the deeps. Coming as a
surprise, it has a benumbing effect. Those
who have had the sad duty of answering
questions regarding the condition of the
President will long remember the grief
laden and almost agonizing tones Of those
who were told that MIR. Mckinley is
dying" The American people hold their
Presidents in high esteem and in a peculiar
measure the love of the American people
has gone out to Mr.. Mckinley. He has
been TO the people most attractive and
lovable character. Human kindness was
one of his characteristics during his whole
life; his devotion to an invalid wife won
the admiration Of the world; the high
courage and Christian fortitude with
which he has faced death brought him into
closer and more affectionate relations with
the people than most Presidents have en-
joyed. So his death, in the midst OF his
usefulness, by the hand OF an assassin
comes to the men and women of the coun-
try as a personal bereavement which finds
it's expression in poignant grief.
During the week that passed between the
deed Of the assassin and his death the
country examined the life, the struggles
and the aims Of the dead President, and in
so doing the people arrived at true esti-
mate of the man, and, because they have,
his death brings more than ordinary sor-
row. In those homes in which are found
the pictures of Lincoln and Garfield be-
cause their characters, deeds and human
ity, with the manner OF their taking off,
made their names household words. will
now be added third, William Mckinley.
The grief over his death is as keen as was
that over the death Of Lincoln, and the
generations as they come and go will hold
the name of Mckinley in equal reverence
and love.

A PERTINENT ILLUSTRATION.

The Brooklyn Eagle gives an interesting
account of a debate in Flatbush, n. Y, be-
tween an Irish mechanic and a German
grocer. The grocer said he was sorry that
the President had not been killed. The
mechanic in indignation asked the grocer
why he talked that way. The grocer re-
Piled Mckinley is at the head Of the
trusts; they are grinding the life out Of
the poor man; if ne is killed the trusts will
! fall to pieces and the poor man will be bet
ter off" The grocer said that he could
prove what he said. When asked by the
mechanic to do so, the grocer replied by
presenting the carefully preserved files Of
the editorials and cartoons of two New
York papers which have rivaled one an
other for years in pennng and picturing the
President as the head and tail, the master
show that the rich are growing richer and
/ the poor poorer-a condition for which Mr.
Mckinley is held responsible.
The mechanic caused the grocer to admit
that he was better off than ever before, but
he could not convince him that a large
J number of people whom he had never seen
or known are not a great deal worse off
than they ever were before-aH on account
. of Mr.. McKinleys trusts. The grocer want
ed no other evidence than the editorials in
poster type and the hideous cartoons, con-
sequently he was glad that the President
had been shot and hoped that he would die
The chief sinner in the publication of this
sort of papers is millionaire He does not
want the President killed; his desire is to
sell papers and to be regarded all over the
country as the editor of three sensational
papers which are read by many thousands
of ignorant men who take these charges
against the President, and these cartoons
as a true presentation of existing conditions
and who are thus influenced to hate the
President and to rejoice in his being shot
I In the case of this grocer there is no ques-
ton that his desire to have the President
] assassinated was created by the reading of
I the New York Journal, which he took seri-
] ously, and there are thousands more in the
country who naturally have the same feel
ing in regard to the President because they
I have read the editorials and gazed at the
cartoons of the Hearst papers. Now that
there is so much earnest demand for legis-
i lation which will destroy anarchy, it would
be we'll to give practical turn to this zeal
by considering what action can be taken to
prevent the publication of papers which
