on his or any land before or after
this time. nor can he hunt on land
other than his own during the open

Any one going on the land of an
other, whether posted or not, is
indictable for trespasslng. Those
who shoot or trap game birds be-
fore or after the seasons open is
liable to Indictment. Those who
go rabbit hunting and kill all the

THE RAILROADS DISTURBED.

The American people have at last
come to realize that they can control
the large railway corporations, and the
consequent situation would be amusing
if it was not quite serious.
President Roosevelt made some
moves, which had as their object the
bringing Of the railroads to an account
before the laws as the interests of nr;
vate citizens a,e DrOught to an ac-
count The railroads had hardly got
ten formulated their front against this
troublesome chief executive, when the
state legislatures begun to get in their
rate legislation, one after the other,
with remarkable swiftness. The mas
cent Oklahoma even went so far as to
put a accents passenger rate in its CON
Stitution.
Whereupon the railroads about faced
and fled to the president for relief from
the contcmncd state legislatures, and
there the matter stands now, with some
big cases to be fought to the end IN
the courts. In Alabama the railroads
have secured an injunction against the
railroad commission to keep it from
enforcing the new 2H cent passenger
