To the People of Mississippi

onJ "AAASO |AGiAOA III NAA0oiCClNP1
could oppose the new Game and
Fish law unless such opposition
was based upon a misunderstood
ing as to what the law really pro
vides. Mississippi has had fish
and game laws for a number of
years, but they were practically
dead letters" upon the statute
books since no machinery for
their enforcement had ever been
provided. A few people have
opposed this law, because some
politicians and newspapers have
said that you could not fish with
out a license. This is absolutely
untrue; you can fish as much and
as long as you desire without a
license. The law only prohibits
you from hunting upon enclosed
or cultivated lands, belonging to
another. without permission and
a license. The So. 90 paid for IL
cense to hunt goes into the State
Treasury to be used for the edu-
cation of the boys and girls of
Mississippi. The expense of the
Game Warden is paid by those
who violate the law. since one
half of the fines are retained by
the County Warden, and the
other half goes into the State
Treasury to be used for educa-
tional purposes and to pay the
salary of the State Game War
den. So. in fact, the law is not
costing the people anything at
all. but it does protect the game
of the State, and I am sure that
every wise, intelligent and patti
otto citizen wants this done.
The Game Law was passed in
the interest of the farmers of
the State, because it will elimi,
late about one or two hundred
thousand worthless negroes who
spend half Of their time IN the
woods with a singlebarrel shot
gun destroying the game of the
State. and when the farmer goes
out to hunt, the trif1ing negro
has already beaten him to it.
The man who lives in town and
goes out occasionally to shoe,
and kill finds, under this law,
the amount that he can kill is
limited, and. he. too. pays a IL
cense that helps to educate the
farmer boys and girls in Missis-
sippi..
If the people of Mississippi
want the game of the State pro-
tected, they should sustain the
law in the November electi n
The law may not be perfect, but
if it is not, it can be amended at
the axt session of the legislas
tlre, but if you vote against the
law and ca use its defeat, you will
set Mississippi back twenty five
years in her progress and devel
o,ment.
l take this occasion to urge
every patriotic and intelligent
citizen to inform himself upon
this much misrepresented stat
ute. and go to the polls on Nov
ember 7th and vote for this
splendid piece of legislation.
know l can depend upon the hon
est voters to do the square thing
when they know the facts. Give
he law a trial and if it does no;
Grove a success, the Legislature
can repeal or amel.d it at their

ance, as follows:
Many persons and many agencies
have worked faithfully, through years
OF difficulty and disappointment, for
this beneficent legislation. The Geor
gia Teachers Association, the forces
of organized labor, notably the Jour.
nal OF Labor, published IN Atlanta,
women's clubs, progressive trade bod.
les, notably the Atlanta Chamber Of
Commerce, and constructive newspa.

given the cause Of compulsory school

ularly earnest and effective, however,
has been the service OF the state sup.
erintendent Of education, Prof. NJ. l..
Britain, who has labored with a zeal
that comes from heart.deep conviction
and with an insight which experience
alone can supply"
It is clearly evident that there Is
plenty Of room for Improvement in the
public school attendance OF both ILL
nois and Georgia. An aroused public
sentiment In behalf Of better school
attendance will do more for It's i'm.
provement than all the laws that can
ever be written upon the statute

through which to arouse public senti.
