Save The Birds and Fish.

"The West Liberty Courier is
one of the numerous papers in
the State which recognize the
need for more stringent laws to
protect the game and the fish,
and advocates the passing OF
such laws and their rigorous en-
forcement. In a recent issue it
expresses the view that the Leg
islature should pass a law max
ing it a felony to dynamite fish,
and urges all interested in the
streams Of Kentucky to agitate
this question.

Tho reciprocity bill, the
passage Of which was the
sole purpose Of President
Taft in calling Congress to-
gether in extra session, has
been disposed Of and will be-
come a law as soon as the
Canadian Parliament appro-
YES the same. Only a small
portion of the reciprocity
agreement is in operation as
yet and that portion which
is now operative relates to
wood pulp which Canada
produces. This however,
will be a great benefit to the
newspapers as it will give
them relief from the white
paper trust which has had
the price right up to the top
notch Canada has now an
tered upon a campaign for
the election Of q new parlia-
ment which is to pass upon
the reciprocity measure. 1t
'isthought that Sir Wilfrid
Laurier the Prime Minister
of Canada, will hold more
than a majority in the new
Parliament which will be
chosen in September and
that the reciprocity treaty
will be promptly approved.

Magazine, who passed through
Lexington a short time ago, gave
the results Of his observations In
an interview in The Herald, He
pointed out that Kentucky at
present had less game, fewer
birds and fish than any Of her
neighboring States. AT the pres
ent rate of destruction it will be
but a few years until we have no
fish and no birds.
The dove season has opened.
But there are practical. y no dow

today if there is a flock Of hun
dred doves in the State. In a
few years the dove will be as
rare as the carrier pigeon, flocki
of which once dSI kened the sky,
