BAY STATE DEAD LETTER LAWS.

From The Boston Advertiser.
The legislative committee fisheries and game
has decided not TO repeal the laws against Sunday
fishing OF shooting To kill the laws would offend
large number Of good people. and would change
matters little Since the State Game Commission
instructed its deputies enforce the law
against Sunday fishing that law has become a
dead letter like the law against Sunday
sports. The people who play golf on Sunday know
that they stand in danger Of arrest The people
who fish on Sunday understand perfectly that
long as the fish wardens do not interfere nobody
else is likely do The fish wardens who be-
Ifsve in the enforcement Of the Sunday law do not
dare to make any arrests since the Game Commits
sion issued It's warning against such interference.
Consequently the Sunday law amounts TO nothing.
To strike II would only offend many religious
people and benefit nobody IN particular.
