Shoot En- on the Spot.

So much has been written and pub.
lished about the edict OF the Agri.
cultural department, prohibiting the
shooting Of migratory birds, that the
following letters, that have reached
us through the courtesy Of Hon. II.
u. Bridgeman, will prove interesting
to most Of our readers, and especially
those who love to hunt the Wild duck
and such. The Introductory letter Is
from the pen Of Don NJ. Hunt, son Of
Cave J. Hunt, Of this city, now a
clerk Of senate committee at Wash.
ington, ID. c., through the kindness
and courtesy Of the Junior Senator Of
Missouri, Hon. James A. Reed.
March IL, 1914.
Hon. II. b. Bridgeman, Attorney.
at.law, Oregon, Missouri.
My Dear BVse:-Your letter Of the
9th inst. has been turned over TO me
for answer by the Senator.
We have a number OF letters In re.
gard to the MCLEAN Game Act, es.
pecially from sportsmen's clubs In
Kansas City. We have at different
times taken this matter up with the
Attorney General, but with no result,
II would be useless at the present
time TO introduce a bill to repeal this
act as II would be fought by the
Audubon Society, which organization
seems to have exceptionally good luck
In legislative matters here In Wash
ington.
The law Is clearly unconstitutional
and the Senator il trying TO have Q
test case made In Kansas City.
am enlosing herewith a copy Of Q
letter to the Attorney General, which
explains what Senator Reed l. doinl
In the matter. Kindly show this let
ter TO Ruley, Carson, Bunker, Russell
look and the rest Of the good shot,
Of Oregon and tell them to 20 thei
best, that they are IN no dangeI
whatever.
Very sincerely, your friend,
Dos VI. IIuNT.

March q, 1914,

My Dear Mr.. Attorney General:
! am enclosing you a copy OF my
letter written you on February II,
1914: also your reply Of the 18th inst.
My letter requests an opinion a. to
the validity OF the national game law.
Your reply Is to the effect that II will
be your duty to enforce the law, and
for that and other reasons you can.
not give an opinion as to It's validity.
l agree with you fully that II Is
your duty to attempt to enforce the
law II you believe II to be constitu.
tional. Now, have to request that
you do enforce the law. am en-.
closing herewith . telegram from DR..
s. II. Raglan, President OF the Inter.
state Sportsmen's Protective Asso-
citation which embraces q member.
ship OF 800 citizens OF Missouri and
Kansas, stating that they have made
application to the United States
Commissioner and Federal Judge for
. warrant charging them, or one Of
the members OF the club, with shoot.
Ing ducks In violation OF the law.
The committee have offered af,idav.
It's OF eye.witnesses to the oi,ense,
but warrant has been refused.
think these gentlemen are en-
titled to the privilege Of being ar.
rested, The victim they produced,
who is willing to offer himself upon
the altar OF the constitution Is no
less than my personal friend, Ed. +.
Swinney, President OF the First
National Bank OF Kansas City. The
men belonging to this organization
are not law breakers, but they believe
the Federal Game law Is In violation
OF the Constitution OF the United
States.
II seems TO me that the people are
entitled to know whether this law Is
or Is not valid, and the only way
that question can be determined In
the absence OF an opinion from your
self IS the chief law officer OF the
government Is to have case tried In
the courts.
The fact OF the matter Is that the
law Is being violated habitually by
practically everybody who wants to
shoot ducks or other game-at least
such Is my information. Now, II
seems to me that the government
should advise all citizens that the
law Is invalid or else the government
should treat the law as valid and
proceed against one or more OF the
violators, to the end that the law
may be settled.
VIII you not kindly instruct the
District Attorney at Kansas City tc
cause the arrest OF one Of these mer
at Kansas City against whom con
elusive evidence OF shooting birds car
be produced, Liberty has indeed
sunk to a low ebb when citizen Of
the Republic cannot get himself ar

Thanking you for reply at your
early convenience, am
Yours with great respect.

A Grand Success.

was so pleasing In all its features. as
will tend to he the subject OF CONVEX.
sation for some time TO come.
Pure, refined minstrelsy Is an
amusement feature that Is ever within
a class TO itself. and whenever or
wherever II Is presented, you are sure |
Of being delighted and sure Of getting
the worth of admission money.
The entertainment given by our
local talent Friday and Saturday eve.
ming OF last week, in the form OF a
genuine minstrel show was a decided
success, both financially and as to its
completeness In detail and program.
The company was composed Of thirty
OF our citizens, who we're assisted by
Mr.. Ezra Harrison and Charles l..
Sheppard, the managing and develop.
ment OF the entert ainment being un.
der the guidance OF Mr. Harrison, an
experienced worker In this line, and
who with his wife are amusement
specialists Of high order, and who
took hold Of the affair with pleasing
interest from the inception, and with
so much natural talent In the com.
pany, he found an obedient, willing,
enthusiastic assembly ready to do
things and TO bring every phase OF
the entertainment TO brilliant con.
clusion.
Mr.. Harrison and his company won,
and never In the history Of our little.
city did an audience ever leave an
amusement house more delighted or.
In greater ecstacics over an entertain.
ment.
Tie purpose for which " was given
was Ia Itself an inspiration, and each
and every participant took hold OF the
work with that vim and enthusiasm
that ever wins. Scarcely member of
the company that didn't have some one
dear TO them sleeping In yonder ceme'
terry, and every one feeling grateful TO
that loyal band Of women, composing
our Chrysanthemum society,who have
for 40 many years looked after and
cared for the "silent city they felt
by this means, they not only could
show due appreciation OF their work,
but they could help them substantially
In a financial way TO continue their
efforts In this noble work, and the
people generously opened their purses
and filled the Royal theatre, both
nights, to Its very capacity.
In the audience we're seated the
fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and
sweethearts OF the black'faced partici'

pride, as well a. Interest In the cause,

II literally. Solos came from Corwin

Charles Sheppard, Paul Frye. Prof.
Harrison and George Schultz. and
in no way did single one fail to.

connections, and always deliver the
goods.
Everybody connected with the affair
did their whole part TO make 1t sue.

phase. Charley koock, we believe,
suggested the minstrel show for the
benefit Of the mum society, and 1t
met with such hearty acceptance that
the only reason there were not more
In 1t was because the stage would not
hold any more.
The testers were Claude King, Ger
aid King, Albert Kunkel, Guy Con-

handled their parts so well, that
not knowing them, one would have

He tried to make her laugh about
1t. but her face was deeply serious as
she looked up at him.
Il think this Ia the kindest and
most thoughtful thing you have done
yet" she said. II don't see how can
ever. ever thank you'll"
Don't try" he returned gaily.
There's your train being called. We'd
better go right out and make you COM

She did not deny It, but rose to fol-
low him. scanning the waiting room
with one quick. frightened look. An
obsequious porter at the gate seized
the suitcase and led them In state to
the Pullman.
The girl found herself established In
the little drawing room compartment,
and her eyes gave him thanks again.
She knew the seclusion and the oppor-
tunity to lock the compartment door
would give her relief from the con-
slant fear that an unwelcome face
might at any moment appear beside
her.

him a number of times. just sit down

his glasses at the sweet face under the
big black hat. while Tryon Durham ex.
planned: shes a friend OF mine. I
hope you1l be- good to her" In an
swer. he nodded grim assent with a
smileless alaority which was neverthe-
less satisfactory and comforting. Then
the young man walked through the
train to interview tho porter and the
newsboy, and in every way to arrange
for u pleasant journey for one who
three hours before had been unknown
TO him.
When he returned to her he found
the shades closely drawn and the girl
sitting In tho sheltered corner OF the
section. where she could not be seen
from the aisle. but where she could
watch In the mirror the approach OF
anyone. She welcomed him with n
smile. but instantly urged him to leave
the train. lest he be- carried away.
He laughed ut her fears. and told
her there was plenty OF time. Even
after the train had given Its prellmL
nary shudder. he fingered to tell her
that she must DO sure to let him
know by telegraph n she needed any
further help; and at last swung him
self from the platform after the train
was in full motion.
