harm any other but to control the increase in game so 

 that a principle consisting of an adequate number of 

 each species shall always be left and that all the in- 

 crease shall be proportionally divided as the classes 

 are in the plurality; or for example if there are ten 

 million sportsmen to five thousand collectors, the col- 

 lectors should not be allowed to slaughter all or even 

 a majority of the game, depriving the sportsmen who 

 are the larger class of their rights. 



Remember that throughout my argument I have 

 used the word game to mean all life. As I said before, 

 I sincerely hope that after reading this through you 

 will sustain me in believing that protection is right by 

 also believing in its justice.
