Col. Roosevelt came to town one
day last week. called on the Presi-
dent, delivered a lecture to several
thousand people on his explorations
in Brazil, went over the political
situation with several of his follow
erS, gave out a few newspaper inter
views and took the train back to
Oyster Bay the same evening. Those
who braved a sweltering night in
the close auditorium say Americas
great traveller is but a shadow of
the Roosevelt we know. Fever and
suffering have left him weak in
body and voice, but he retains the
old time fire which marks him from
among all other men. With a splen-
did constitution he will probably
soon be the vigorous man of old,
who knows neither fatigue nor fear.

House every day. 1t has some good
features and others that are not so
we'll considered. Congressman Mel
son of Wisconsin made one of the
strong speeches pointing out OBJ
jectionable features of the bill. A
peculiar situation lies in the fact
that after the bill m before the
House, it cannot be amended nor
changed in any important particu-
lar.
Like the tariff, currency, tolls
and other measures, it is presented
as a finished product before being
submitted to the House for discus
sion. Every amendment is refused,
and it must be taken in its entirety
or rejected. In other words, it be-
comes legislation by committee rule
rather than by the House.

State Hunting Season Near;
Game Unusually Plentiful

But, the license law has been the
biggest factor m game protection. II
not only has reduced the army OF
hunters, but has furnished the funds
to employ a warden force and thus
made the laws effective. and has pur-
chased and equipped a 400 acre State
Game Farm in Sussex county from
which will be distributed all over
the State. not only our native game
birds and animals, but other species,
such as the pheasant partridge etc.
which experience has shown will
thrive in our State.
While there are some who are Op-
posed to paying for a hunting license,
all those who have studied the sub
iect agree that the Legislature acted
most wisely In placing the financial
burden of game protection on the
hunter where 1t manifestly belongs.
And at the same time placing every
safeguard around the dand owner and
land tenant. Formerly lands had TO
be posted. Now that is unnecessary.
The law fOrbids all trespassing with
out the land holders consent. None
but the farmer, or his boy can trap
rabbits and they alone can hunt with
out license on their land.
Uncle Sam has helped in the good
work too. by aiding in the protec-
tion of all migratory birds. He has
shortened the open seasons, and put
a stop to cunning during the Spring
season when the birds are on the
way to their nesting grounds. Bird
/ life of all kinds is more secure today
than ever and the prospects are that
/ future generations will not be called
on to reproach us with the wantor
slaughter that our forefathers per
mitted. as witness the recent com
plete determination of the carrier
/ pigeon that less than a century age
was here i'm untold millions. Las
