DUCK SLOUGHS AND LAKES
RULED AS PUBLIC PROPERTY.

The attorney general of the state has
handed down a decision ON the owner
ship Of duck lakes which is very i'm
portant in this part of the state at
least.
Farmers owning the land surround
ing meandered lake or large duck
slough cannot combine to keep hunters
off spras nnters have access
to the same over public highway,
according to an opinion of Attorney
General Clark given to State Game War
den w. F. Bancroft. The attorney
general holds that such waters are
assumed to be the property Of the state
and as such are open to the public for
hunting, fishing, OF trapping.
Exception is made in the case of a
small sloughso small that it lies
upon and is entirely surrounded by
the land of one farm. These places
are held to be private property and
under the absolute control Of the own
er.
The opinion is important. In many
instances over the state, and in some
in codington county two or more farm
ers. who own the land bordering on
some Of the best duck lakes have agreed
TO keep hunters of. In some instances
this combination has been effected for
the purpose of exacting "a fee for the
right to hunt upon the land. The state
game warden's advice has been sought
on this point BY several parties who
will now be advised according to the
ruling Of the attorney general.

people believe that 1t has become q
part Of the Republican city organizes

or course that's a iie-one Of the
bold political lies now being circu-
lated in lieu OF honest campaign argu.
ments. The Democratic press finds
nothing in the true situation At Kan
sas City to condemn, SO 1t must In
vent something to shoot at.
The real truth IL that the police
department at Kansas City furnished
to the Democratic leaders an army OF
uniformed Democratic ward and pre-
cinct workers for many years. Since
this army has been restored to the
service OF the people the Democratic
politicians az Kansas City and OF the

people believe that II has been trans
formed into q Republican machine
More than half of the policemen being
Democrats, 1t would not be an easy
matter to make Republican machine
men Of them, IL the Police Board
wished to do SO. AS a matter OF fact
the policemen in Kansas City are
under instructions to ignore politics
and to give their time to police du
ties; and they are obeying their in
structions, though 1t has been Difficult

couidn't Grab All Of Them.

In making up the present senatorial
districts of Missouri the Democratic
State officials could not gerrymander
all OF the counties, because some OF
them are heavily Republican. and
could not have been absorbed so as TO
make more Democratic districts, so
they were set aside AZ hopeless and
allowed Republican representation In
the Senate.
A glance at the gerrymandered map
will show that the counties composing
the present districts are not contig-
uous, as the Constitution requires;
that they are not compact and not
conveniently arranged, az the Consti-
tuition requires; but. on the contrary.
they are arranged primarily to insure
the election Of Democratic senators.
The whole map 10 u reflection OF he
desperate and damnable scheme Of
the Democratic leaders to control the
State Senate. 1t IL doubtful whether
politicians In any state IN the Union
have ever attempted n gerrymander
of representative districts so palpably
and desperately partisan II unfair.
II Is a wonder that the people have
submitted to II SO long, But for the
intervention of a partisan court they
would undoubtedly undo this gerry
mander and administer g singing re-
buke to the Democratic leaders who
are responsible for 1t.
