game is in evidence all about the
senate and house. But the chance
of any of it reaching the statute
books is none too bright. Powder
companies and gun makers are op-
posed to this kind of lawmaking. If
the birds are slaughtered-as they
are-and the insects which destroy
thousands upon thousands of dol
lars worth of farm stun thrive, it's
no concern of the powder and gun
interests. Makers Of artillery al
most guaranteed to wipe out the
bird kingdom at one shot usually
have clever men attending to their
interests at capitols where lawmak-
ers show a pernicious activity in in
Producing 'protective' legislation.
Minnesota is not an exception. The
name of Audubon is as popular with
powder and shot and gun interests
as that of the lawmaker who drove
live pigeon shooting out of New
York, and for his pains is as dead,
politically, as if he had never lived.
The public quickly forgets the leg
islator who effects a really great
reform through a very simple bill.
AS long as cartridge companies and
gun companies are willing to stand
any deficit of the annual sports
mems show in Madison Square Gar
den, it is obvious that the compare
lively small expense Of watching
protective" legislation will be met
cheerfully

lusflca and Law


 In the strong play, Within the Law, '" recently seen in this city, lawyer de- livers this indictment against his pro fession
 "We used to call them courts of jus tice, now we call them courts of law" Cynical as it is, this statement appeals to one who studies the processes in civil and sometimes in criminal court, as lit erally true. Resort to legal procedure, particularly in civil cases, is no longer a fair test of the merits of the cause. 1t is test of resurcefulness and finally of endurance, for he whose pocketbook is strongest stands best chance of winning regardless of the merits of the cause ad- vanced by his opponent.
 The judges are of course in a measure at fault but this is true only because be- fore they became judges they were law yers, and, forgive the expression, those who were most successful as lawyers were what the layman would describe as past masters in the art of quibbling. - Hartford Post.

mem is stockholder in the Canaan Printing Company, from whose estab- lishment The News is issued, he has never in single instance, by word or sign, since the present editor came upon the job, eyinced the slightest disposition to dictate, suggest, or even advise in the editorial conduct of this paper. In fact, so far from assuming to use The News as a mouth-piece or tool for political or personal purposes, he has systematically and consistently held aloof from any active relations with it's management that could by the longest stretch of the imagination be construed by his most hostile hair-splitting critics as influenc- ing it's policy or justlfying in the slight est degree any imputation like the above.
 No one would seriously entertain for 8 moment the suggestion that J. Henry Roraback dictates the policy of the New Haven Union. Yet as matter of fact he dictates the policy of the New Haven Union to precisely the same extent that he dictates the policy of The News. We can't make the disclaimer any stronger than that. ..-.
