Now that there is so much discus
sion over the revision of the game
laws, with probability that there
will be some change made at the
next session of the Legislature, the
Herald has a suggestion to offer. 1t
is suggested by others that the
spring open season be abolished.
Well and good. Now as to the
game warden business, the hiring
of numerous men at an expense Of
$4,000 to protect game, while
hunting is nearly as open as it was
before the wardens were appointed.
Why not do away entirely with the
wardens, and instead have the game
protected by every mana Place a
large enough fine on each viola
ton of the game laws, and then
give any man swearing out a com
plant against another a half share
Of the fine. In this way each man
is a game warden, and will be apt
to watch for violations if he is to be
get something out OF it. The other
half could be turned into a fund to
restock the lakes and rivers with
fish. 1t seems to us that it is
utterly useless to keep an army of
wardens on the state pay roll and
have them doing practically moth
ing but political work or drawing
the salary without working. The
vigilance of the game warden will
not be able to keep track of them,
while the neighbors of a man, who
is either seining a lake or shooting
out of season, + usually pretty
we'll aware of the fact. IF the fine
is high enough to make his neigh
boris share worth while he is apt to
SQueal.

N PAYS 1T.

JOuC6, H0 pays Uu0 AU
Christmas. time the family man is
Jones, not only to the extent Of
paying the freight, but also to the
extent lof paying the cost of the
contents of the Christmas-boxe on
which there is freight to pay, and
the cost of other Christmas-boxes
besides. 1t is an expense that
mounts up; but the average Jones
is not disposed to be mean about it.
Americans like to make money, but
they are not miserly with it as a
rule. They like to make it because
they like to spend it, and in matters
where their families are concerned
they are as liberal as any men On
earth.
Mrs. Jones and the little Joneses
are lucky in having as goodznatured
a fellow as Jones to foot the bills
incurred in preparations for the
annual festival of gift-giving. The
six-year-old individuals who are be-
ginning to be skeptical, and to con-
fde to their younger brothers and
sisters as we'll as to their elders
that they don't believe there is any
real Santa Claus, are not SO wise
as they think. There is a Santa
Clausfor every household. In the
case of the Jones family he is
Jones.
In some of their suspicious, how
ever, the skeptical youngsters are
correct. Santa Claus is not a jolly
bellied little old fellow with a white
beard and a 0reindeer sleigh. He
does not enter the house by the
chimney, but by the front door, and
he carries the latch-key of that
front door in his pocket. He is a
reality, even if he doesn't wear a
red overcoat trimmed with yellow
fur. That story about his big book
with the names of the good little
boys and girls who are to have nice
presents, and the naughty little
boys and girls who are to receive
nothing but switching, is an inven-
ton, however. 1t has absolutely no
basis in fact. The real Santa Claus
keeps no Christmas record book,
but depends for all his information
upon a confidential advisor Mrs
Jones.
The wife and mother of the
household is the one who determines
what each individual under the roof
shall have for Christmas. She re-
members what everybody received
last year, and she is careful that
there shall be no Implications. She
keeps the true spirit Of Christmas
alive IN her heart, and she gives
very valuable an reliable informa-
ton to Jones concerning what each
member of the family will be most
likely to enjoy. She is an auxiliary
so important that if Jones were
questioned upon the subject he
would say that she and not he is
the real Santa Claus. But Zones,
he pays the freight"
