In MeInOriRIn.

In sad but loving remembrance OF
our dear baby, Earle Bunting, who
died June 4th, 1902, aged ? years and
8 months.
A light from our household is gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our hearts,
That never can be filled.
So beautiful in death he laid,
1t is hard to give him up,
Yet by Thy command,
We were compelled to drink the
bitter cup.
Leaning on his Saviour's breast,
1t was He who called him to rest,
And waiting until his mama comes,
To that bright and happy home.
Farewell, darling Earle, thou art at
rest,
And forever thou will be,
You could not stay on earth with us,
But we can go to thee.
His papa and mama.

An article in another }column by a
former countyman, in regard to the
Game Laws of the Eastern Shore,
will be read with interest, but hardly
with alarm, by the members Of the
Eastern Shore Game Association.
The threat, coupled with the sec
ton given of the Constitution OF the
United States, will cause no terror to
them, in the light of another section
of the Constitution, that powers not
delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited to 1t by
the States. are reserved TO the States
respectively, or to its people, That
+he control of the police affairs of the
State sra reserved admits of no
Doubt I'm the light Of the decisions of
the courts Of the laud cOnceding 70
The States the right 70 enact laws in
aid of It's police regulations. The
section of the Constitution quoted,
THAT the citizens Of each State are
entitled to all the privileges and IN
munities of the citizens of the several
States" stretched to the limit
claimed for it, would mean that the
State not only would have no right
to make game laws but could not
protect its citizens in their fishing
rights or even from trespassers on
private property in the pursuit OF
game. The Constitution of the
United States, of course, admits of no
Interpretation leading to such an alb
surd conclusion, nor have nOn-resi-
dents any right 10 complain that
laws are enacted discriminating
against them. They have no right to
expect equal privileges with those
who are taxed for the support of the
State government and bear its bur
dens.
There can be no question, that
non-residents, who come among us
to shoot game, should be taxed for
the privilege but our vigilance
should extend farther even, lest they
obtain rights not accorded to our
own citizens-for instance, by acquir-
ing title TO our waste lands, as has
been attempted and would have been
done but for an act OF the Legislature
prohibiting them.
If correct in our conclusion, there
fore, that nOn-residents ought to be
taxed, have they any right to con
plain that the tax imposed upou
them has been burdensome? Is an
annual tax of ten dollars, az our for
mer county man claims, oppressive
to any sportsmen, whom it is desir-
able to have among US! The tax, on
the contrary,is not large enough and
a larger amount would hardly "bar
out" any sportsman, that would
spend his money "lavishly" with Us
and surely is too small for any non
resident who comes to shoot our gam 2
merely for the profit he will find in
the amusement. 1T is to be hoped
that the fair minded and chivalrous
gentlemen who control the affairs CT
the Game Protective Association "
will continue to see, while they well
come non>residents who are willing
to pay the reasonable tax imposed
upon them, that it is their first duty
to look after the interests of their
own citizens and deprive them of no
privileges which belong 70 them.
