government in the enforcement of this act, save and except 

 the part of it which prohibits the shooting and killing of ducks 

 and geese before sunrise and after sunset, and when I write 

 you I am writing as one of the sportsmen of Minnesota. You 

 know, and I know, that ducks only fly after sunset, and you 

 get your best shooting with the strong Minnesota light that 

 follows sunset. 



"In order to save the act and make it enforceable in all its 

 details it should be amended before October 1 or it will go 

 down as a dead letter as far as Minnesota is concerned." 



IBID farewell to the city and give in exchange for its stone 

 temples the silent mountains; for its rivers of humanity, 

 the streams that flow through the green valleys; for its 

 lamp-posts, the hemlock, spruce and pine; for its dusty lin- 

 dens upon the boulevards, the shimmering, zephyr-swept 

 maples; for its man-made monuments, the rough-hewn bould- 

 ers on every hillside; for its voices, the whispering echoes of 

 the forest; for its avenues, the open road winding over the 

 hills into the deep of the woodland; for its greetings I ex- 

 change the song of birds; for its churches, the cathedral of 

 the trees; for its fame and applause SOLITUDE.
