WILD LIFE AND DEMOCRACY 



"Above all, the people, as a whole, should keep steadily in mind the fact 



that the preservation of both game and lesser wild life — by wise general 



laws, by the prohibition of the commercialism which destroys whole species 



for the profit of a few individuals, and by the creation of national reserves 



for wild life — is essentially a democratic movement. It is a movement in 



the interest of the average citizen, and especially in the interest of the man 



of small means. Wealthy men can keep private game preserves and private 



parks in which they can see all kinds of strange and beautiful creatures ; 



but the ordinary men and women, and especially those of small means, can 



enjoy the loveliness and the wonder of nature, and can revel in the sight of 



beautiful birds, only on terms that will permit their fellow-citizens the like 



enjoyment. In other words, the people as a whole through the government, 



must protect wild life, if the people as a whole are to enjoy it. This applies 



to game also." ^ -r, , ^ TT
