F. J. HOSFORD AGAIN DISCUSSES THE
FISH QUESTION.

FISH QUESTION.
Replying to Friend Beeman's article
l wish to say l did not know that l
had lost my mind. People have to find
out such things from others am
glad to know it and will try and gov
ern myself accordingly. What term
a greedy fisherman is one that makes
that his profession rather than work
ing on farm or at trade. Bass may
will not overload his boat. 1t is
thought by most of US that quite a
number Of fish are removed by nets
and eel racks; also by three or four
greedy fishermen. Most of our city
friends fish for sport and not for mar
ket, and If it wasn't for the white
perch to-day one could as well fish in
his back yard as in the lake. There
could be no misund RS a1ding re gard
ing the fish law if one eads it. White
perch are protected as we'll as all other
fish in the closed season. I am told
that the fish warden says, fish Tor any
thing but bass and I will take no
notice. Why not change the law and
intent of the law makers to leave that
to the discretion of the fish warden
and pick up such as have been arrest
ed? All I have asked in every article
Ia that little common sense be mixed
with the law, not believing in taking
advantage of an innocent law breaker.
1 am inclined to believe our friend,
Beeman, and the fish warden would
agree with me. If some one was to
watch them and If they by mistake
transgresSed some law, should be ar
rested and fined to the full extent.
just place yourself in such position.
Would you like it? The hotel capacity
has changed some. AS I remember
in the past 20 years, the CHEEKY Point
house destroyed, the Sherman house
closed, also the Lakeside Inn, the
Charles Beeman place turned into a
private residence, and to Offset the
closing OF these the Carter house has
been built. / know of no one who
would not say Amen to anything Mr.
Blakeslee has done in the past and
wish him only success for the future
That is not the question. Administer
the law in such way, mixed with q
little common sense, that strangers
will not be afraid. The same amount
of good can be accomplished by doing
to others as you would be done by. l
trust that as the result of the several
articles printed in THE BEE more
people have learned what the special
law is, and that for the last four weeks
no new parties have been arrested, and
it is hoped no more arrests will be nee
essary. I think more people have read
THE NEWTOWN BEE than have seen
the 6x9 posters half way up 50-foot
tree. Thanking you again for giving
free use of your paper for this subject,
I remain, Yours truly,-[F J. Hosford
