Use Caution

Hunting seasons in Minnesota this
fall extend for nearly three months,
allowing for the overlapping dates of
the wild game that may legally be
taken. Beginning with upland game
birds in September and ending with
bear and deer late in November the
hunter will have plenty of chance to
try his skill and knowledge afield
after his quarry.
On the other hand a number of
them will be involved in hunting
accidents which kill or MAIN the
hunters themselves. Already num-
Der of casualties have been reported
with the main hunting season yet
to come. In the past three years
no less than rs persons died in this
state from gunshot wounds received
in hunting accidents, and 164 others
were more or less seriously wounded
in that way.
In commenting on this the safety
service of the state conservation de-
partment writes as follows:
However, there is another side
to this picture much less ominous.
This reveals that each of these years
had less hunting fatalities than the
preceding one although the number
of hunting licenses issued was larg-
er than in the year before. In other
words, instead of the number of
mishaps keeping pace with the grow
ing number of potential accident
causes, they Jagged far behind.
This suggests that there is no fixed
relation between the number of hunt
ers in the field and that of hunting
fatalities-that here is not a case
of immutable cause and effect. This
again suggests that some other ele-
ment, or elements, enter into the
situation.
1t is our humble belief that the
Minnesota hunters themselves are a
strong element in this, by reason of
being more safety conscious and, con-
sequently, more careful. Also, we
do not hesitate to largely credit this
encouraging development to the safe
ty education carried on in recent
years by public spirited individuals
and groups sincerely concerned with
public safety and determined to do
something about it.
The appalling loss of IS lives
through hunting accidents" alone in
this state in the short time of three
years, evidences strongly that we still
have large amount of work to do
before this blot is removed from
Minnesota's fair escutcheon. What a
fruitful field of usefulness this un-
folds to local gun, sports, conser-
walton and other groups sincerely
DESTROYS of promoting one of the
states greatest natural resources
hunting and fishing.
One way in which these groups
could most effectively aid in reduc-
ing this wanton waste of human
lives in the name of sport would be
to insist, as far as possible, that
hunting safety information be made
available to all and that no person
be allowed to 60 into the field for
wild game without first having been
given instructions in handling a gun.
A major cause of our hunting mishaps
is lack of experience, which, in turn,
is responsible for the thoughtlessness
and carelessness that result in so
many accidents"

THE WAY 1T is
(Mille Laos County TimeS)

1t isn't best to be too sensitive in
this rough and tumble world. Don't
allow yourself to worry over what
people say about you. No matter
what you say or do, it will appear
different to different eyes. One will
pronounce it just the right thing,
while others will denounce it as who'll
ly bad. At best you can only please
a certain few, while the great ma
jority don't know what you are do
ing, and don't care.

IL the governor is as inaccurate In
his financial statements as he is about
the percentage of reduction of en-
ployes, you voters can draw your
own conclusions.
Personnel Climbs.
Of course the governor can show
reduction of employees in certain
departments, but, if he does, then
let him tell about the increase of
employees in other departments so
that we get a true picture.
For example: In the Commission
of Administration, employees increased
from % in July, 1888, to 70 in July,
1910; in the public examiners office,
from 81 to 70; in the boards and
commissions, from 161 to 100. The
number of employees in the Unem-
ployment Compensation Divisi o n
jumped from 372 in July, 1899, to
735 in July, 1910. Thus, the number
of employees in one department near
ly doubled. Can this be because
1910 is campaign year?
Let us take another look at the
highway department. In July, 1889,
they had $3.50 employees. In July,
1910, there were 4,510, an increase
of 1850. In August the number
of employees increased to 4,672. Can
this be because we are in a campaign
year? And this does not tell the
story of September or October when
the campaign really gets going.

LEAGUE ASSURED
OF GREAT START

The Waterbury Taxpayers league,
now in the process of formation, has
been assured of financial support
amounting to about $1,000 for its first
year, according to reports. The
money presumably will be used to
pay the salary of a secretary and
stenographer, office rent and ex-
penses.
The league will seek to cut down
city expenditures wherever possible,
and to bring about imp rovements
that will benefit the entire commu-
nifty.
Lewis ]. Hart has notified members
of the organizing committee that a
meeting will be called soon.
The leagues financial backing is
being secured by contributions from
business men, the amounts said to
be based on the assessed valuation Of
their property.

Confidence In Business
Not only through new integrity
in business men does this conf
dence come MIRA brings confidence
also through new spirit moving
through whole communities. SO long
as competitors, SO long as capital
and labor, sit in their respective
camps and shout demands at each
other; so long as they refuse to. work
together for the good of industry as
a whole, for the nation as a whole;
so long will business be unsettled.
There is fault on both side of every
dispute. MIRA means that each side
begins with itself. Trust grows
where honesty grows. Both sides
learn the power of an honest apol-
ogy and spirit of cooperation,
confidence in the future grows, in
vestment grows, business grows, in
come grows, EMPLOYMENT grows.
