FAvORs RESIDENT
HUNTEKS LICEENsE

To the Editor of THE EvENINr
JOURNAL: .r
Sir-I was much surprised to reat
the short editorial in your issue OF
Thursday, condemning the Board of
Game and Fish Commissioners and the
resident hunters license. The appear
ance of such an editorial in a progres-
sive community like Wilmington and
in the column of a paper like THE
JOURNAL, is calculated to convey 4
wrong impression as to both. the ef
ficiency of the commission, as well as
the usefulness of the law
As for the Board of Game and Fish
Commissioner and its work. nothing
need be said. Its last biennial report
speaks for itself together with the fav-
orable comment from many experts Of
other States The resident hunters
license law is a fixture in over forty
States in the Union and is the accepted
and approved way of raising revenues
for the carrying on of game protec-
ton. No state has ever made a sue
cess i'm game protection without this
system. 1t is eminently fair that the
gunners rather than the general tax
payer pay the tax for preserving the
game Public sentiment in the end
always supports this measure. You
cannot successfully collect your non
resident gunner's tax without the resi-
dent tax. Also, without such a law. in
view of the increase i'm the number
of the gunners. game will certainly be
, exterminated and the State thus lose
one of its valuable natural assets. To
save our game means the spending Of
money for a game commission,
and game protection and the
residents license is the logical
way to raise it, 1t is false
economy to let the game go, as it is
worth thousands of dollars from the
viewpoint of health and recreation, to
say nothing Of the wild life that is in
cidentally protected in protecting our
game. Yours very truly,
HUGH A. GARLAND.

LETTING RAD Enough ALONE.

Nevada has decided 10 let bad enough alone Under
the existing law il is necessary for men and women
who desire to pass through the notorious divorce mill

get through the present Legislature bill reducing that

in the Senate revealed. clearly. however by the
fact that If it rad mustered one vote it would

a few public men in Nevada who realize what a

(The Sunshine MANI

An old Scotch woman lay dying.
The sorrowing husband sat holding
her worn hand in his, and seeing she
was so soon to leave him, broke
through his lifelong Scotch
reserve and said earnestly: Janet,
If ever woman was loved. l lovo
you" The weary eyelids were
raised, a radiant smile overspread
her pale face. as Janet replied: Il
kenned It, John, but oh to hear you
say it," How much we often loso
by not saying it.
Men tell me that the day of mir
acles has passed. but l answer no.
Miracles have not ceased. Faith has
ceased. God offers all things to him
who has the faith to claim them.
When he said. "Be filled with tho
spirit" he simply declared that this
was possible. When the will is sur
rendered He in whose dispensation we
live will come in and fill us. And
the result is a kind of activity, as
if one were wrought upon and con-
trolled by some power outside him
self. Wilbur Chapman.
II you take one step with the devil
you may find that you are in for Is
long walk with him by your side.

The difference is droll;

THE jewish new YEAR
Begins This Evening. Oldest of all
Festivals Celebrated.

The Jewish New Year begins this
evening, September s. While there
will be no ornate solemn service
here, the members of that faith will
no doubt hold the day in honor. The
Jewish press bureau of New York has
issued a circular which contains in
teresting information regarding this
celebration as follows: .,.. ....,..
The Jewish New Years festival is
the oldest of all festivals celebrated
in the civilized world. But 1t is
unique for it's significance as well as
for it's antiquity. The secular New
Year ton January 1st) is a day OF
qualifications; men rejoice in what
they have achieved; 1t Is a day for
sordid inventories. The Jewish New
Years day, however. is time for
serious thought on the meaning Of
life; it evokes pious contemplation
of the difficult and inevasible prob
lem as to right and wrong and its ap-
peal is not that we should get more
out of practical life, but value more
genuinely. more truthfully,, more NOR
ally, the life God has entrusted to us,
Much of the success and failure OF
our work depend, not upon our equip
ment, but upon our motives. - The
Jewish New Years day, accordingly,
is placed by a wise tradition. at the
beginning of the autumn, when men,
enter upon their enterprises and ott
legations with zest and zeal. Just
then they need a right Interpretation
of life and true measure of its val
ues. = T.. L
The antique features of the ritual
of that day express the aspirations
all men feel equally. The trumpet
calls, constituting the central part in
the worship of that day are appeals
for the moral stir which men should
feel when they contemplate their ex-
periences and seek for reinforcement
of their hopes The calls are also
an appeal to the large sense of life,
Our weekday wishes and prayers are
self-centered and do not give us a
perspective of our relations and OBJ
legations to the community and fell
bowman, and of their influence upon
us. But the New Years day offers
us an occasion to reaffirm our re-
spect for and trust in Providence
which is the organization of all lives
into an all-encompassing justice. The
Jew comprchends this as a comfort
in the case of misfortunes and as
monition in the successes he may
have. The function of the New
Years dav is to establish a moral
judgment in our life and experiences.
