pT There are no doubt in every commu-
nifty a number Of law-respecting people
who, through ignorance of the State game
laws, often violate them. There are also
those who have no desire to respect such
laws. Chiefly for the benefit of these two
classes, we expect to publish all such laws
of recent enactment obtainable. We want
to give those of our readers who have
never seen these acts chance to become
familiar with them. The offences then,
of course, among the better class will
cease. In recent issues of the Banner we
have had some little to say about game
protection, and We expect to keep ham,
mering away on the subject until (if pos
sible) more evident sentiment in its
favor has been created. We would be
pleased to have our friends enlist them
selves with Us and help all they can.
