THE FISHING CASE NOT so BAD
'noueh property Is Protected From
Tresspass, Owners Are Not
All Curmudoeons.

1t is to be hoped hat tho Gshormcr
or h state will accept the final dnris
ION or the supreme Court in the fish
case in the proper spirit, and mar
there will he no attcmpr nj foolish
measures of so.callcd retaliation s,ys
the Leadville Herald democrat. We
see 1t stated that some sportsmnn had
declared that if the decision was
against the fishermen they would in.
stltnte other proceedings and drive the
state fish commission out of business
All this would be extremely unwise.
because 1t would injurc the fishermen
themselves and accomplish no good re-.
suit.
AS a matter Of fact the decision of
the Supreme Court in the case prop.
trly understood is not against the fish.
ermen. 1t is the simple assertion ON
the part of the court of the rights of
property and its protection against
tresspass. 1t does not necessarily fol.
low that every owner of property
through which a trout stream mean.
ders Is going TO post dogs and spnti.
nels so as to keep fishermen away. It
doesn't imply that every ranchman in
the state is a cruSty old C"urmudgpon

manger. But it does assert that when
Il fisherman is OF private land indule.
Ing in his favorite sport that he is
there as a privilege and not as a right.
lf ne attends strictly TO his fishing and
has ON regard for the property and
crops OF the rancher it is hardly likely
that II individual in a thousand will
make objection.
The Pueblo Chieftain sum up the
situation thus:
IF the fishermen had always been
reasonably and decCntly considerable of
the rights of the land owners, it Is
probable that this question would
never have been brought into the
courts. But whore the fisherman
breaks down fences. leaves gates open,
turns stock into meadows. or tramps
through grain fields, it is not surpris.
ing that the ranchmen should seek
some remedy, and the fact is that
things had come to pass in some val,
leys in this tate, that it seemed to be
Il question as to which has the greater
right on the farm, the owner or the
fisherman"
The Herald Democrat would suggest
that in case any ranchman shows Il dis
position to be mean with the decent
sportsman that the case be reported to
the local Sportsmen's Association and
the name be posted so as to give fair
warning in order that the Churl be
given a wide berth.
