MIGRATORY BIRDS, JACK RAB- BITS, AND A LITTLE POLITICAL
 MELANGE IN THE U. s, SENATE
(Continaad from Last Issue. j


 MT. Shipstead. Mf... President, l think the Senator from Arkansas has stated that very well am in favor of establishing these shooting grounds. It possibly should be done bX the States; but here is the situa- ton so far as shooting ducks is con- cerned nQw:.
 It so happens thatonly at certain places on q lake is the shooting good, on what we call the duck passes. There are certain places where the ducks come into lake or go out; and the practical situation is that almost all of those places are now owned by. private parties . who D have enough money to buy them, and, owning these places, they have the right to keep everybody else away. As a re- suit there are very few places where the average man or boy can go and have any place to shoot at ak He is out of it.
 1 myself used. to belong to four or five different shooting clubs, not be- cause I had a great deal of money because l did not-but it was a mat ter of convenience We had a club house, we had place to sleep, we had a place to cook our dinner; but it be- came repugnant to- me to stand there and enjoy the sport of shooting ducks and then have some boy or some other man come along and have some one in the crowd chase him off. It became so repugnant to me that | re- signed from all. of those clubs to# which I used to- belong 1 think 1t is absolutely un-American. in spirit that a few men, simply because they have the money. to- huY these shooting places, shall have the right to them and keep everybody else off. It is not sportsmanship. A good sportsman is a gentleman, and not q hog. l have no sympathy. with a game hog. A game hog Is a man. who wants to hog all the game. If he has money enoughI to- buy the shooting grounds aud hog the shooting to- the exclusion of others, he IS d game hog and not sportsman The game does not be- tong to. him. As the law now stands he has the advantage, because he can hog the shooting by buying the groundsswhere the birds can be hunt aG
 MT. Blease. Does the Senator think that this bill and the present law are for that@very, purpose-to buy few places for rich people to shoot and keep the poor devil from having any place at .ail?
 MT. Shipstead. It is not necessary totbuy places for the rich people. be- cause they already have bought the duck passes.
 MT. Blease. Down in my section of the country that is getting to be a very serious problem. Rich people are buying up these large tracts of land, and they are having these game pre- serves, as they rall them
 MT. -Shipstead. I think it is very un-American idea.
 Mr. Rlease. And it. is getting so that the ordinary poor man has not any place to5fsh OF hunt. I think this bill is simply for the purpose of strengthening that.
 MT. Shipstead. If thought this

the commissioner should hear tha pleas and try the cases. But the Ju- dietary Committee promptly said, You can not do that. No one can be ried in the United States for q viola tien of 9 Federal law except by jury of twelve men, after presentment by a grand jury"
 So that we find now, much as we would like to have many of the petty police cases that are tried now in the Federal courts handled by magis- trates and by commissioners, We can not do it.
 MT. Shipstead. I am not in sym pathy with the idea of making a police court out of Federal districa court That idea is very repugnant to me.
 Mr. King. 1 knew it would be-
 Mir. Shipstead. I dc not like te zee people dragged away several hundred miles from their homes for the pur- pose of trying them for minor of. fense, and l would consider tie shoot. ing of a duck l5 minutes after the proper hour d minor offense. 1 think this law should be administered with good deal of discretion
 MT. King. Bureaucrats exercise the discretion always against the individ- ual and in favor of the Government.
 MT. Shipstead When they do that do not think they do anything for the Government. They hurt the Gov ernmeEt every time they do hat. They damage the Government and they cause people to lose respect for the Government when they do that, in my opinion.
 1 thought possibly that under this bill, with these commissioners, if man were caught violating the law, he would know, ;ts a rule, whether he were guilty or not guilty, and he could pay the fine. If that should be held to be unconstitutional, I would hesitate very much to vote for bill under which anyone nigh be dragged several hundred miles into a Federal court to answer for an offense of such a minor character as a minor viola tion of a regulation under the admin istration of the game laws.
 l am absolutely opposed to making a police court out of a Federal dis trict court. l have no sympathy at all with the people who stay awake nights thinking up schemes to put somebody in jail. l am vtry much in- terested in the conservation of the wild life of America. I would like to see the boys and the girls of future generations have a chance to enjoy the wonderful thrills felt by people who learn how to enjoy the outdoors.
 l can appreciate the objections that are offered to this bill Of course, 1t <. is true that there is always something to be said on both sides of any ques- tion, and that always leads to diff ference of opinion.
 l thought this explanation was due the Senate. I felt that would not be doing my duty if did not say few words what this bill would do As said in the beginning, a faulty admin istration, an unreasonable enforce ment of it's provisions and of the game laws, would wreck it by making it unpopular. I think 1t should be en-

forced with a great deal of discretion, and public sentiment will be built up in support of the enforcement of the Federal game laws If we can do that, we will preserve the wild life of America, as we have enjoyed it.

American Schools
Are Too Slow, View
OF Harvard President

Boston, June 14-(P)-Formal edu-
cation had become a fetish in AM
erica, President A. Lawrence Lowell,
of Harvard told students at Boston
University's commencement exercises
today.
In an address i'm which he discuss
ed recent tendencies in education,
President Lowell declared that the
educator of today was concerned
more with the student than the
course.
I'VE are regarding education less
as matter of information. more as
a stimulating, and incidentally as a
selective process. We are thinking,
not of the course. but the student, as
united to be considered. We are
moving away from the counting of
educational credits, toward a meas
urement of the student as the pro-
duct of the system; we are learning
that above the rudimentary technical
skill acquired by reading, writing and
arithmetic, all real education is essen
TALLY self-education-a principle that
becomes more and more true the
higher the stage reached"
President Lowell criticized Ameri-
can schools as too slow. Children did
work in primary, grammar and high
schools that should have been done
much earlier and entered college sew
eral years behind foreign students.

lations a joy rather than a menace.
He stressed the necessity for cooper
alton between the nations of the world,
due to the close relations existing as
| a result of modern means Of commune
cation, and quoted the British ambas-
sador as saying Isolation is inpossi-
ble.'
Every national act must be per-
formed with the consciousness of it's
possihl relation to the rest of the
| world" DR.. Fellows said. Hence, we
| must, in cooperation with others, or
ganize these relations so that the con-
facts may be peaceful and progress
sive."

Wet Proposals to
Have Place on
Senate Calendar

Washington, June 14-(P)-The wet
. bloc's group of proposals for modify
(, ing the dry law were assured today
of place on the senate calendar, but
they will go there accompanied by
an adverse report from the judiciary
committee.
After nearly two hours of debate
in committee today, the measures
were ordered adversely reported with
an accompanying recommendation
that action on them be Indefinitely
postponed. However, they are plac-
ed in position so that the wet lead
ers in the senate can make a fight
for them.
With Senator Reed, Democrat. Mis-
souri,, implacable force of prohibition,
absent because of other official du-
ties. the committee divided at first
on the proposition Of adversely re-
porting the measures or pigeonholing
them in committee. Senator Borah,
Republican, Idaho. wanted separate
treatment given the Bruce resolution
to amend the prohibition amendment,
asserting it should be sent back to
the senate so that its proponents
could call it up and have it adopted
if they could muster the necessary
two-thirds majority.
The upshot was a decision to send
in all seven measures together.
