Hunting Game Is Stealing.

There are pretty strong indications
that, in few years, hunting for game
on the premises of another, will be thing
of the past. AS game undoubtedly be-
longs to the owner of the land, it follows
that a hunter has no more right to shoot
a rabbit, or bird, on another mans land,
than he has to take bag of corn, or a
lot of chickens. In fact, hunting on the
premises of another without permission,
is stealing.
Promiscuous hunting is simply the sur
vival of custom of the long past pioneer
days, when the taking of game was le-
gitimate means of securing food, and
when much of the country was an uncul-
tivated wilderness; a time when there
were wild animals roaming around which
were dangerous to man and to domestic
animals, and to public safety in general.
At this time, hunting was more or less a
conceded right, or privilege, because
there was no great interference with, or
trespassing on, private property. Then
too, hunting was done with the rifle, and
small game was not exterminated to the
extent it now is with breech loading shot
guns.
Gradually, conditions have changed.
There is no wild game more destructive
than rabbits; the land is almost entirely
under cultivation, homes are thick over
the land, and every land owner, or ten
ant, prefers to have for himself every
thing on his property to which he is le-
gally entitled. 1t is true that rabbits and
cartridges are migratory, but certainly
there can be no rights Of ownership at
taching to the average hunter, who may
not own foot of land anywhere, and
who, in his pursuit of game, is very apt
to damage property, as we'll as endanger
the lives of real owners, or tenants, of
property.
1t is wholly proper, therefore, that
hunting, as it has heretofore been prac-
ticed, should have an end, as all of the
old justification for it has died out. The
great increase, in recent years. of adver-
tisers against trespassing, shows conclu
sively public sentiment in the matter, to
the extent that those who practice hunt
ing in defiance of this sentiment, also
openly defs and voluntarily take the po-
sition of armed thieves without right or
justification. Carroll Record.

From all accounts all who went on the
excursion Saturday had very pleasant
time, but we have learned that one of
the excursionists had rather long walk.
1t appears that this person became en-
gagged in conversation with another at
Rocky Ridge after getting off the w. M.
train, and while thus engaged she forgot
what she was doing and suddenly the
Emmitsburg car pulled out and left her
behind to walk. Reports tell US the per-
son had to walk all the way from Rocky
Ridge to her home, a distance of nearly
10 miles.
Bishop Allen, of Mobile, Ala, made a

STATE CARE OF INSANE.

DR.. Herring Would Provide Additional
Buildings.
DR.. Arthur P. Herring, secretary
of the State Lunacy Commission, has
made comprehensive statement OF
the commission plan for the State
care of the dependent insane. He
says:
1.-THE plan as it now stands is first
to provide sufficient accommodations
at Spring Grove, Springfield, the Ma
ryland Asylum and Training School
for the Feeble Minded, and by erect
ing a new hospital for the negro in
sane, to house the dependent insane
now in Bayview and the various coun-
ty asylums, almshouses and county
jails. .
Buildings adquate to meet the
imperative demand and ample to
provide for the next Is or 20 years
can be built at cost of about IA cts.
on the State tax rate, if the money is
obtained by bond issue of 81 900, 600
running Is years. The bonds could
be issued, say, biannually, or as the
occasion demands the erection of adj
ditional buildings. This would, OF
course, materially decrease the State
tax of II cents for the first five or six
years. 1t must be remembered that
this is permanent investment by
the State and will be giving Maryland
group Of buildings for the insane
second to none in this country.
1.-THE cost of maintenance must al
ways come from the State treasury.
A bond issue Or special tax is not de-
sirable. The counties and Baltimore
city pay $3.50 per capita year, and
the State pays the additional $50 or
$50, making the total per capita cost
in State hospitals about $21O. The
plan of the Lunacy Commission is to
reduce the per capita cost to 5000 a
patient and equally divide the cost,
allowing the counties to pay 500 and
the State 500, but have the counties
remit direct to the State Auditor, in
stead of to the hospitals, as they do
now.
Eventually, say by 1912 or 1914,
when the new buildings are complet-
ed and adequate accommodations cx-
list, then let the State assume the en-
tire cost of maintenance. These plans
can be inaugurated and carried into
effect without depicting the States
resources, and certainly without in
creasing materially the burden of the
taxpayers. What is probably of more
vital importa nee to our legislators, it
will not interfere with the State APP
propriating funds for other deserving
charities. The building of good road
will continue, the State tuberculosis
Sanitarium can be adequately provid-
ed for and all of the many deserving
State and charitable institutions can
be supported as they have been in
the past.
THE State is committed to the
support of the dependent insane after
1911. 1t has been postponed on pre-
vious occasions; let this not occur
again. Now is the time to take the
decisive STEP"
