THE FISHING CASE
NOT so BAD AS 1T MIGHT BE
Though Property Is Protected From
Tresspass, Owners Are Not
All Curmudaeons.

It is to be hoped that the fishermen
of the state will accept the final decis-
ion of the Supreme Court in the fish
case in the proper spirit, and that
there will be no attempt at foolish
measures of so-called retaliation, says
the Leadville Herald-Democrat. We
see it stated that some sportsmen had
declared that II the decision was
against the fishermen they would in
stitute other proceedings and drive the
state fish commission out of business.
All this would be extremely unwise,
because it would injure the fishermen
themselves and accomplish no good re-
suit.
AS a matter of fact the decision OF
the Supreme Court in the case prop
erly 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 trout stream mean
ders is going to post dogs and senu-
nels so as to keep fishermen away. 1t
doesn't imply that every ranchman in
the state is a crusty old curmudgeon
who intends to play the dog in the
manger But it does assert that when
a fisherman is on private land indulS-
ing in his favorite sport that he is
there as a privilege and not as right.
If he attends strictly to his fishing and
has some regard for the property and
crops of the rancher it is hardly likely
that one individual in a thousand Will
make objection.
The Pueblo Chieftain sums up the
situation thus:
"If the fishermen had always been
reasonably and decently considerable of
the rights of the land owners, 1t is
probable that this question would
never have been brought into the
courts. But where 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 state, that 1t seemed to be
a question as to which has the greater
right on the farm, the owner or the
fisherman"
The Herald-Democrat would sugges'
that in case any ranchman shows a dis
position to be mean with the decent
sportsman that the case be reported to
the local Sportsmens Association and
the name be posted so as to give fair
warning in order that the churl be
given wide berth.

"A few minutes later the train came
