IT is none to soon for the people

standing of the actual conditions
under which they will hold the next
election in Delaware. The rati6-
cation of the amendment to the Fed

the method of choosing the Senators
from the several States to represent
them in the United States Senate.
will have a great result in the select
ing Of candidates for the United
States Senatorship, and the mem
bership Of the Legislature. In the
past, men were nominated by the
political workers who were pledged
to support certain candidates for
the United States Senatorship. i'll
their Rarty were to be successful at

entirely in all future elections, be-
cause the Senators will be elected
by the direct vote of the people, like
they now elect their Representative

As to why there should be so
much said about the new cunning
laws, we have been unable to form
a definite opinion. As one who
once gunned to a very considerable
extent, wecan see no unjust require
ments in the new laws. The facts
are we'll known to all who care to
give the matter any thought, and it
is from the class OF men who in the
past have been the greatest offend
oTs against the former game laws,
that the greatest opposition is voiced.
Il had for years past been a COM
mon condition, that the pot hunt
ers" shot the game before the sea
son opened, but they also made it
business to trespass on the proper
ty Of farmers generally to locate the
birds and rabbits, so as to take their
customers from the cities at the
opening of the season to the most
available spots, and sell their time
and game to these men regardless
Of the law. In many cases these
so-called city gunners, never killed /
a bird, but returned to the city with
trunks filled with game for the large
restaurants. The people OF Milford
and other towns in Delaware who
did not sheet. could not get the op-
portunity to purchase birds because
Of this condition. The farmers have
the right to demand a share of the
cash paid for cunning to these pro- /
fessional hunters. Why should the
farmer permit stranger from the
city to come upon his lands and kill
the game to take away with him,
simply because he happens to be ac- /
companied by resident gunner of
a local town in Delaware? The Gus r
tom has been to permit promiscuous q
cunning over the lands, and that d
has been abused to the lin }
itin many instances. 1t is right that o
every man should pay a license of p
one dollar for the privilege to shoot v
game in the open season, even if he G.
IS given the privilege to shoot on r
another man. S land. We have had d
TOO many lives snuffed out by mex &
Derienced gunners in the past, and i
only last fall a murder was commit 81
ed near Milford because of the in 81
use Of a shot gun by di
boys. The shooting of summer pI5
lucks and other game has been in
iulged in by men along the Sussex ar
,ayshore, but this will be followed IS
