there been contests in the City
Council for positions as Trustees.
Vacancies have recently existed in
the First, Third and Foarth wards.
Charles E. Dare was selected last
night without opposition for the
Third ward, but two candidates
loomed up for the honor of repre-
senting the First ward on the School,
Board. Charles E. Tennesson and
j. Frank Petit were placed in
nomination. One vote decided the
issue. Mr.. Tennesson received Is
votes, and Mr.. Petit one.
The storm centre, however, was
in the Fourth ward Thomas Chaun-
cey and Thomas E. Dyson had been
groomed by their friends. 1t took
four ballots to settle the issue, Mr..
Dyson winning.
1t is often difficult to induce Cit
zens to stand for election to the
City School Board, as the position
requires considerable time as well
as thought. Recently, it will be
remembered, several representative
citizens who had been elected Schoo!
Trustees declined to serve, they not
having the time to devote to the
proper exercises of the duties Of the
position.
1t is a good omen when capable
citizens offer to serve the city IN
complimentary positions.

A nonresident may kill the same

How long can the game Of Alas
ka survive these conditions?
The complete destruction of all
our game, outside the sanctuaries, is
dependent not upon the law, the
game commissioners nor the game
wardens, but upon the diligence or
slothfulness Of the men and boys
who hunt according to law.
Now, what do serious-minded and
honest Americans think of our sys-
tenn Of game protection?
Who Is Responsible?
Who Is really to blame for the
absurd hunting license fees, the
Joke bag limits" and the criminally
long killing seasons?
The answer is: Up to 80 per cent,
It is the sportsmen themselves!
The state laws on non-migratory
game are exactly as the sportsmen
have developed them, to suit their
own views and purposes.
The Federal laws covering all mi
gratory game birds have been made

partment Of Agriculture. and in the

every wild game bird and mammal

game alive anywhere save in the
game preserves and the geological

And, Furthermore:
With similar laws on the books of
all the other states Of this nation,
the licensed and authorized hunters
of the United States could, had they
been sufficiently enterprising, have
wiped out in that same year all the

1t Is impossible to give here small
details of open seasons in the United

present purposes to give the great
general averages. On migratory

of New York gave to her sportsmen
legal authority to killAn her terri
tory wild birds and quadrupeds up to
a demnition total of 2,422,961.949
head.
The 1858 hunting licenses issued
on Long Island in 1918 were good
for the killing Of $3.50, 500 quail
out Of the $500 still alive on that
island.
In 1918 100000 deer might have
been killed in New York State out
Of a total deer population Of about
$4,000 head, all at SIS cents each,
excepting a few at $5.25.
But we are not yet through with
the follies Of the Empire State.
Tho Owners Rights
In addition to all the above posi-
bilities for slaughter under state
hunting licenses, we find in the state
game laws the following paternal
provisions,
That land o1oser, tho members
Of his immediate fonnuy, a1,d tenants
actually occupying culttvated farm
lands may hunt thereon wtthoslt H.
cense during the entire open sea-
so7,l
We decline to try to figure out
the number Of persons who hunt an
nually in New York under the above
provision without licenses, but In
Pennsylvania the number Of free
farmer hunters is estimated at 200,-
600.
The plain fact in the New York
case is that legal permission is each
year bought, paid for and delivered
to kill about 10000 times as many
head Of game as there are alive in
the state all told. This means that
had the 100000 licensed hunters of
1918 hunted with sufficient diligence
they could have killed, in 1918,

boat, and they have all been tarred
with the same brush. Their bag
limit laws are, as q rule, rotten
alike. I shall not stop to show them
up in detail, because it is not neces-
sary. One horrible example will suf-
flee for all.
In order to offend no outsider, |
will take the case of our own proud
Empire State, New York, long a
leader in wild life protection causes,
and certainly to-day in the foremost
rank of wild life protecting states.
The bag limits in the various states
are very much alike, especially on
, waterfowl and shore birds, and each
state is just about as criminally
careless and just as guilty Of I'm
square deals to its wild life as Is
New York.
If you live outside New York fig
ure out for yourself the guilt of your
own state, on the basis here shown.

good object lesson in the so-called
bag "limits" in Alaska. The laws
fixing them were framed in Wash
lngton, and therefore the people of
Alaska are not to blame. We in "the
East" have been criminally careless
IN this matter, and we hear that a
few Alaskans have been criminally
defiant in the non-observance of the
absurdly liberal law.
The Alaskan game bag "limit"
may be taken as an extreme example
Of wicked wastefulness in the utiliza-
ton Of valuable game animals. A
resident of Alaska may kill in one
year, without any license or the pay
ment Of any fee, the following ami
mails:
New-York tribune., 1920-05-16

100000 men and boys, licensed and
unlicensed, annually in the field in
the United States, we'll armed and
equipped, hunting and killing game
of any and every kind open to
shooting.
For stories and pictures of what
they are doing to American game,
watch the narrative columns of the
sportsmen's magazines, and the daily
newspapers that devote space to
shooting and fishing. A few sam
pie pictures, Of perfectly legal kill
ings, in widely separated localities,
are shown herewith and left to carry
their own comments. Why waste
words on the obvious?
The Bag Limits"
We now come to the second factor
in the determination of American
shooting sport, the so-called bag
'linit" In view Of the enormous
number of hunters. all the game
killing privileges available under
"the law" need to be scrutinized.
If we really must exterminate our
sport with gun and rod, let US do it
with our eyes open.
With very, very few exceptions,
the bag limits on game to be killed
have been fixed to satisfy or to
please the sportsmen. The objections
to bag limits that l have heard dur
ing the last five years l can count
upon the fingers of one hand. The
limits fixed usually represent the ut
most number that a good shot can
find and kill in one day, and the
hunter usually gets the benefit of
every doubt.
Now, why should a duck hunter
be permitted TO load himself down
each day for ninety-one days with
eight fat geese or twenty-five
ducks-eight times more than be
and his family can consume?
Do American sportsmen now hunt
for meat to "beat the beef trust" or
for gentlemanly sport?
Do they hunt to keep the hunger
wolf from their door?
Is it from the bloody love of
slaughter?
That is the spirit of the mink, the
weasel and the skunk.

bag limit laws, all the states Of our

Five Million Hunters

Five Million Hunters
By this time it is to be hoped that
the American people are able to
imagine the potential destructive
ness of an army of 100000 vigor-
Gus men, all we'll armed and eager
to kill.
+ In 1911 we ascertained that L.
486,288 hunting licenses were issued
by twenty-seven states, out of our
total Of forty-eight states. Com
putting by averages the allotment
of gunners for the twenty-seven
states then not issuing licenses, the
total arrived at of sure-and- certain
hunters in 1911 was 2,642,194. The
number of other men hunting with
out licenses and contrary to law was
believed to be sufficient to bring the
total up to at least 100000. Some
competent authorities long ago esti-
mated the total as high as 5,000,000
Since 1911 there have been some
very great increases in the number
of licensed hunters.
Here is one index of that increase:
In 1911 New York issued 15o,220
hunting licenses
In 1915 New York issued 1926
hunting licenses.
In 1918 New York issued 100000
hunting licenses.
This means an increase Of $4,000
since 1911, not counting the farmers
and tenants who now may legally
hunt game on their own farms with
out licenses.
In 1919 Pennsylvania issued
100000 licenses. Now, it is esti-
mated that 100000 Pennsylvania
farmers hunt on their own lands
without licenses, but according to
law, making a total of 100000 active
hunters in that one state.

A Poor Outlook

A POOr Outlook
Even brief review of the sit
uation as whole reveals the fact
that in the United States and
Alaska our killable game is by no
means on continuing basis. More
over, it is very likely that the meas
ures absolutely necessary to the
making of legitimate sport perma-
nent for even fifty years to come
will be found by sportsmen to be
so disagreeable that they never will
be developed by them to an adequate
extent,
1t is common thing for a sick
man to resent the idea of the sur
geon's knife; but we know that re-
fection sometimes convinces the pa
tent that a permanent cure is the
only one that is worth while.
Here is the cold and disagreeable
fact:
The game OF our country cannot,
By any possibility, mach longer With-
stand the dWfN onslaughts that no1c
ore being made upon it, legally and
illegally, wherever ony game re-
mains outside of sanctuary limits.
The question whether American
sportsmen will go on with their
shooting until finally they erte,mi
note their oacn sport is a question
for them to decide. My task now
consists only in pointing out condi-
dihons and their sure and certain
results.
The Present Situation
Let US look over the cards, as they
lie face up on the table and see what
they reveal.
tlrst-We see glorious Federal and
state laws for the protection Of the
nsectlvorous and non-game birds
wel! observed in most places, but in
some places shamefully abused by
Alien shooters. That abuse is be-
cause it is an utter impossibilitv for
any state to put into the field enough
wardens to watch every alien who
goes ont hunting with a license in
his pocket
Second-We now see game-bird
hunting reduced, very largely, to the
hunting of ducks and geese, with
very little shooting of six shore
olrds, quail and grouse
4hird-We see all American quail,
fuhed grouse, pinnated and sharp
@l!ed grouse on steep toboggan
Slide going swiftly toward sure OBJ
lvion.
fourth-We see in the near future
no Wild game remaining save water
'cwl, rabbits, hares and white-tailed
ueer' and trace of introduced pleas
Sh's- Any one who thinks that quail
Sna grouse Of any species whatever
can by handmade agation keep
'ne sport Of shooting them on a per
"'ahent basis, makes a sad mistake.
1t cannot be done!
flfth-We see that the propagation
pheasants on game farms Is worth
while, though it is not great fac
'0F IN the production of sport.

places the whole series very soon
will disappear from the map Of
