Settlers Do Well.

The conviction of Mr.. B. P
Boyd of Brainerd on the charge
of killing game out of season is
gratifying to every friend Of
northern Minnesota which is
rapidly being despoiled of its
game by greedy pot hunters
Convictions on the charge OF
illegal killing have been very
hard to obtain for the reason that
the settlers have had mista ken
idea of what the fish and game
commission is attempting to dc
in the way Of enforcing the state
game laws. It has been made
apparent, however, that the com
mission and it's agents are not in
existence for the purpose Of
prosecuting the settler by pun
ishing him when he kills a little
game for his table. Such was
meyer the intention of the makers
of the law, and the commission is
but carrying out the intent of
the law when it let's it be known
that it's enforcement of the game
law applies not to the man who
is foraging for food for his family
but for the 'spot hunters" who
kill for money. Whether Mr..
Boyd is pot hunter or not, we
do not know; but it is certain
that he is not a settler and that
if he was hunting out of season it
was not because he stood in need
of something to eat.
The settlers have done well in
convicting a man who is found
guilty by the evidence of killing
northern Minnesota game out OF
season. In so doing the settlers
are simply protecting their own
interests.

SUBSCRIPTION SIS PER YEAR
Tenure Of Office.

The regular biennial attem pt
is being made to lengthen the
terms of all county officers.
It is safe to say that the at
tempt will fail; that it will never
become generally a success, for
we are generally distrustful of
long terms. We prefer the evil
of frequent election to the evil
of unsatisfactory officers whom
we cannot discharge for a long
term of years.
Nevertheless the terms of
some county officers might pro
perly be heightened to four years
with decided advantage to the
people they serve. The office of
county auditor is such one.
Under our present system of
state government, the office of
auditor is perhaps the one which
most directly and in the great
est number of ways affects the
interests Of the whole people.
The Office is heavy with the re-
sponsibility and the man who has
served two years has but barely
became qualified to discharge the
duties of the office efficiently.
By the end of his second term
he has became an invaluab off
cial, but by the unwritten law OF
succession, he is then usually re-
quired to give way to some one
else. The county auditors term
of office should be four years and
if he proves a faithful servant he
should be given a second four
years.
Much the same argument holds
good as to the office of county
superintendent of schools, but il
is doubtful whether the people
will ever consent to the lengthen
ing the terms Of any other county
officers.
