NJ. France wrote his youthful history
he no doubt believed in it himself. But
in the meantime he has written,
among other things, another and very
different history of France. He wanted
to enjoin the publication of the earlier
effort, but the publisher insisted. The
case went to court and the decision
handed down was to the effect that a
publisher cannot accept MS, hold
it until the. author has become famous,
and then cash in on that reputation.
So fame is, after all, something more
than Byron's definition of "having
ones name misspelled in the gasettes,'
or "the filling up = certain portion Of
uncertain paper" The mere chafferer
in brains finds himself in the same
class with merchants whose good will
is an asset, and with public utilities
whose franchise increases in value with
the growth of the community. From
one point of view it is q solemn warn
ing to editors and publishers. And
then again it carries less obvious
but perhaps more wholesome lesson
that it is a good idea, when you write
things, to file them away, and let them
mellow for thirty years.

GAME PRESERVATION NOT A
PLATE.GLASS AFFAIR.

In asking Federal legislation for the
protection of migratory game fowl, in
sectiverous birds, ETC., and the estab-
lishment of game refugees in natural
forest tracts, the American Game Pro-
tective and Propagation Association
says:
This country stands today at the
parting Of the ways in the matter OF
field sports. 1t faces the question
or whether the European system OF
preserves and posted lands is to become
universal.
The problem suggested is certainly
of greater Importance than at first
meets the eye. "Free shooting" means
the more or less general preservation
among the people, not only of marks
manship that was once almost univer-
sal, but of a reliance and resource
which can scarcely be acquired except
in the field. How this is to be done
except by intelligently administered
game preserves on national lands
which shall be open to the public is
not apparent, and it is equally clear
that the spread of private clubs and
preserves has already taken from the
great mass of citizens the opportunity
of sport that was once the general in
heritance on which every man could
count.
If, however, the idea is the mere es-
tablishment of game preserves for the
keeping of certain species of animals
and fowl, the need and value of the
legislation is not so evident. Game
of all sort surely deserves protection
but game is for use and not for a sort
of conservation under glass under
which it speedily loses its characters
tics as game. Indeed, it is said thai
in the Yellowstone Park, where shoot
ing is positively prohibited and seal.
are placed on every firearm, the grizzly
bear has become so numerous ant
tame as to be nuisance to be beateI
off with a club.
Preservation of game is, by al
means, to be encouraged, but monopol,
in this respect by the Government i
scarcely better than the ALTERNATIVE,
of monopoly by the rich.
