vestigations as a rule are not worth
the paper on which the resolution di-
recting them is written, but the house
committee on accounts and expendi-
lures Is engaged in an inquiry at the
present time that promises interest
ing developments. The committee
has started out on the task of finding
whether or not the various state
boards and departments are worth
the cost. The inquiry so far has only
covered the state game and fish COM
mission, and believe me this one de-
paTtment devoted to the conservation
Of the game resources of the state
has been shown up in anything but a
favorable light. Some people after
hearing the testimony covering the
various things touched upon by the
committee would have said rotten"
I will not go that far. Politics" Is a
better word. Getting down to the
concrete the testimony given during
an entire weeks hearing is that the
game and fish commission is more
concerned with taking care of friends
or the administration than it is in
the conservation of game and fish.
Putting 1t cold the bunch is that the
present game and fish laws is the
best friend the fish trust has Along

past week the house committee has
been engaged in delving int& this
phase of the fish question and the
truth compels the statement that the /
commission finished bad as result
OF the inquiry. According to the ad-
mission of It's own members faVorites
were played in many instances where
the granting of contracts was in
volved. There was not even re-
semblance of competition. In order
TO avoid open protests contracts were
awarded on the quiet and those fav-
ored were invariably friends of the
state administration In this connec-
ton Mayor Herbert P Keller of st.
Paul and a number of others with
political pull were named as among
those interested in the contracts
given.
The conservation of game and fish
in Minnesota is uppermost in the
mind of every true sportsman Nu-
merous laws, sacrifices in themselves,
have been permitted in the hope that
they would minimize the operations
Of the poacher, but to give it to you
straight, fellows, half of the game
laws now on the books are more in
the interest Of this prescribed indi-
yidual than the sportsman. Under
the guise Of fish and game conserva-
tion any kind of a law can be passed
and the opposition will be. nil A bill
now before the house, introduced by
an upstate member, provides for a
limited number of pound nets in in
&ernational waters. The author is the
Minnesota agent of a Canadian fish
company and the passage oI the bill,
at is said, will give the Canadian con
Germ and It's American rival, the
Booth Fisheries company, a monop-
oily of game fishing in international
waters. Under the rough fishing law
which was ostensibly passed In the
interest of game fish, 1t is said that
thirty-six carloads Of fish, valued al
$4O, 1000, were taken out Of one lake
last year. And all the state got was

on deaf ears A large part OF this
catch was game fish and it was served
to New York epicures at fancy zig
ure. Minnesota householders patron
lied the beef trust while this rape
of Minnesota lakes was on. In sew
eral instances favored contractors
were mobbed by indignant lake resi-
dents and in one instance shotgun
brigade drove the workmen away
from lake which was being seined.
On the admission OF Executive
Agent Rider of the game and fish
commission and E. " Ogilvie, its vice
president, the state game and fish
commission has no knowledge of
whether the lakes and rivers under
it's jurisdiction contain rough or game
fish. 1t just lets contracts for SEEMING
and its inquiry regarding the respon.
sibility of the parties concerned was
not in any way searching. AS to the
many game and fish bills before the
legislature 1t had no interest what,
ever. No effort was made TO inform
the legislature whether bill was bad
or good All this and more came ont
at the hearing before the house com
mittee and the end is not yet. KinG

Ulster and Home Rule.

The record of Sir George Rich
ards9n, who is to command the army
raised by Ulster to resist the home
rule policy of the British cabinet
by force of arms, is that of a general
of the British army. now on the re-
tired list after forty years of active
service. His last assignment was the
command of the cavalry brigade which
Great Britain contributed to the allied
army in China during the Boxer out
break. That such man who has re-
ceived number of medals and deco
rations and is besides a Il. c. B."
should be willing to assume the respon-
sibility of fighting the government, evil
dences an intensity OF partisanship that
outshines all the traditions of the loyaI
and conservative class of British Of
icers.
The average Englishman is strongly
opposed to coerce Ulster. Even the
Liberals profess to see in the Ulster
agitation a mere bluff" engineered
for the sole purpose of forcing COM
promise from the cabinet. The Union
lists have maintained a diplomatic atti-
tude. While opponents of home rule,
they have declined to commit them
selves on the question of supporting
Ulster in armed resistance.
Ulster agitators and their followers.
by advocating a separate government,
which shall exempt that country from
the application of Irish home rule. have
gone SO far as TO try to nuIIify the
constitution. They have about 100000
volunteers enrolled in the support Of
their claim. This may appear a large
number. but it must not be overlooked
that the volunteer movement of some
I25 years ago had its first origin in
Ulster. The Irish volunteers of the
period, at first only Protestants, gradu-
ally embraced all faiths. 1t attained
also a strength of 100000 men and
over, and brought about very beneficial
changes in the relations between Eng
land and Ireland, which latter country,
indeed, owes a great deal to those vol
unteers and the precedent of their po-
litical power and influence is being re-
called and made the most of by the
leaders of the present anti-administra-
ton movement.
