The conflicting State laws have done
little to regulate the appetite of Jacob,
and, indeed, it is hopeless to seek uni
formity in regions widely varying in
climate, season, and habitat of game.
But now, suppose that Congress took
up the work of preserving some out
door country. without any doubt, il
could set aside wide tracts Of noun
tains and forests, which would be far
better than no West at all. There
might be a rebuilt West in the Appa-
West. SectiOnalism is but folly. The
only distinction between the East and
the West has been the distinction be-
tween indoors and outdoors. The only
folly has been in believing that a ma
ton of men can be reared indoors. All
our history, all the history of all the
world, is contradiction of this belief.
But vast landed estates under private
fence do not mean an out-of doors for
America.
This frenzy. this haste, this greed.
indicate unsound growth and prophesy
decadence. The struggle of modern
business life shows not fitness for COM
bat, but terror of that combat. The
competition of life today is something
to be feared, in it's future possibilities.

|OUT-OF-DOORS FOR ALL AMERICA
Most laws looking to the preserva-
alton or extension of out-Of-doors have
been rightfully called class laws, sell
fish, and not universal. Sportsmen's
associations, so called, have very large
ly been selfish bodies, and they. have
accomplished little or nothing in ac-
tually arresting the destruction Of our
game and the delimitation of our open
lands. Mark off the selfish portion of
the sporting clientage pure and sim
pie, and we have not enough numbers
left. There should be an out-of-doors
for all America and not for sportsmen
only. There are homes with no gun
upon the rack; but these need an out
of-doors. need an America and a West,
just as much as those most profusely
beweaponed
The best out-of-door law is the Lacey
Act of Congress regulating the traffic
of game, which stops the shipment
from all States not allowing the sale
of game. The selling of game has been
