MANY Wisconsin papers are saying
much about the excellent game laws as
we now have them. Such approval is
all rot of the rottenest kind. The man
who lives where game abounds is the
man to be considered in the game law
question and not the sportsman. A law
that will fine the man who shoots for
sport and not for food is the kind of law
that is needed A law that will let the
man who lives in the backwoods kill
game and trade it off for shoes for his
children would be decent law and one
that forbids the sale is ali wrong. What
is needed is law that will protect the
backwoods settler more than the game
itself. To kill for sport ought to be made
a crime and to waste game after it is
killed ought to bring the offender dou-
BILE penalty. When will Wisconsin news
papers awake to the true situation and
stand for the right instead of injustice?
We are afraid never" The above from
the Grantsburg Journal has some rea-
son in it, At present our game laws are
intended for the interests of the sports
man, the man who kills for pleasure, the
pot hunter, so called and the man who
kills the game for support of himself
and family receives no consideration
whatever.

OSHKOSH NORTHWESTERN: In his
speech at Richland Center the other day
Gov. La Toilette advised his hearers to
see that the corporation papers," OF
course referring to all papers in the state
which are opposed to his own plans for
securing third term as governor, shall
get no support save that which they can
secure from the corporations themselves.
In the first place the governor is as I'M
fair and untruthful as usual in his state
ments calculated to mislead and fool the
people regarding opposition to his own
plans and In the next place hisattention
should be called to the fact that by thus
advocating the practice of a boycott he
places himself in the light OF law
breaker, for the statutes expressly for
bid such practices and provide penalty
for those who advise and encourage
them. Thus day by day the people Of
the state are coming to discover the fail
ings and defects of the governor, who
has allowed selfinterest and personal
ambition to run away with his better

A GENERAL strike on all the unfinished

A GENERAL strike on all the unfinished
school buildings in New York City is
threatened by the walking delegates of
the various unions unless all non-union
men now employed on them are at once
discharged. All repair work, as we'll as
new work, will be halted. All of these
buildings are much needed, because
there are many thousands of school
children who are waiting for school
room. 1t would seem as if this was
case where ironclad rules could be relax
ed in the face of great need, but it seems
not. We cannot but regard such step
as unwise, because the public at large
does not believe in such methods which
in the end will lead only to trouble.
