WELL! WELL! WE'LL

Bear hunting in the swamps of Mis-
sissippi is not what it has been rep
resented to be.
The president was doubtless told
that bears were as plentiful there as
swine, and when he came down there
was no doubt in his mind that he
would be able to hang three or four
big black hides on the limha'of the
trees in the neighbork10u of its tent
That he was made the victim of
gross. Misrepresentation there is no
sort of doubt There are very few
bears in the swamps of Mississippi.
For years the hunters of adjoining
states have been providing through
these swamps every season. and per-
hRps the only representative of the
tribe was killed by the colored man in
charge of the party when he used
tree and which Mr.. Roosevelt re-
fused to dispatch.
The president was tricked into a
camp hunt where there was no game
He is too good natured to protest
while in the territory of his late
hosts, but when he reaches home he
will doubtless tell his intimate
friends what he really thinks of that
Mississippi hunt. Arkansas Demo
crat.
All this is gratuitOus reflection
both on the region where the presi-
dent hunted and on the men who I'M
dertook to show him good sport.
The strip of country where the
president sought the elusive bear is
undoubtedly better stocked with big
game than any other territory east of
the Rocky mountains, and the fact
that he was unsuccessful cannot be
urged as proof to the contrary
Bear hunting is notoriously the
most arduous and uncertain of all
sports in region where the cover is
thick and swampy ground the rule.
Even with the best pack of dogs and
the most experienced guides, one may
range the wilderness for a week with
ont getting shot, or he may kill
bear in an hours run. If this were
not so, such game would be as scarce
today in the swamps and canebrakes
Of the Yazoo delta as it is elsewhere.
The idea that the president was
'tricked' by snch men as Stuyyesant
Fish and John NJ. Parker is too alb
suTd to be discussed seriously. The
Democrat should take something for
that bilious imagination. - Memphis
