OVERRIDING THE THING.

Whenever it is proposed to control
the matter of shooting game birds, or
TO protect fish, or to conserve the fauna
Of any region, there are primarily a
good many persons invcterately OPP
posed TO it; there are also, on the other
hand, numbers Of persons so strongly
in favor of the movement that they
ovcrdo the thing, and defeat by,-thelr.
drastic proposals the very object that
they have most at heart. This is NJ
lustrated fairly by the following ex'
tract from the Philadelphia Record:
A bill which would have made it ile-
gal for any one TO shoot game birds or
animals in this state without first TAX

the farmer or other owner who may shoot
bird or beast on his own property with

In its improved form the bill should have
the backing OF all who are interested in

That is, the persons who are in favor
Of the protection indicated, want to
make it so serious An offense to vio
late the restrictions imposed in the law
as to disgust the community with the
whole matter. 1t is very likely, how
ever, that the elimination suggested by
the Record will deprive the bill of the
support Of those who wish to make the
protection effective, and probably the
whole proposition will fail.
That is about the usual course that
such a contention as this runs. There
