  v. 
  People, 
  involving

  of 
  

   jthe 
  license 
  law 
  of

  On 
  October 
  24,

  the 
  Supreme 
  Court 
  of 
  

   Illinois 
  rendered 
  a 
  decision 
  in 
  this 
  case 
  upholding 
  the 
  constitutionality 
  

   |of 
  the 
  law 
  and 
  quoting 
  with 
  approval 
  the 
  decisions 
  of 
  the 
  Supreme 
  Court 
  

   of 
  New 
  Jersey 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  Allen 
  v. 
  'Wyckoff, 
  and 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  

   circuit 
  court 
  of 
  the 
  northern 
  district 
  of 
  Illinois 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  In 
  re 
  Eberle. 
  

   The 
  court 
  holds: 
  (1) 
  That 
  the 
  proviso 
  in 
  Section 
  25 
  of 
  the 
  Illinois 
  

   aw 
  allowing 
  owners 
  and 
  tenants 
  of 
  farm 
  lands 
  to 
  hunt 
  without 
  obtain- 
  

   ing 
  a 
  license, 
  is 
  valid; 
  (2) 
  That 
  lands 
  owned 
  or 
  rented 
  as 
  game 
  pre- 
  

   serves 
  are 
  not 
  farm 
  lands, 
  and 
  the 
  owners 
  or 
  tenants 
  are 
  not 
  entitled 
  to 
  

   'hunt 
  without 
  a 
  license; 
  (3) 
  That 
  the 
  clause 
  in 
  Section 
  32 
  of 
  the 
  law 
  

   providing 
  that 
  nothing 
  in 
  the 
  act 
  shall 
  apply 
  to 
  persons 
  hunting 
  by 
  

   | 
  invitation 
  on 
  lands 
  of 
  another 
  "must 
  be 
  held 
  invalid, 
  except 
  in 
  so 
  far 
  

   as 
  it 
  can 
  be 
  given 
  a 
  limited 
  effect," 
  adding 
  that 
  "the 
  purpose 
  of 
  the 
  

   legislature 
  doubtless 
  was 
  to 
  authorize 
  the 
  owner 
  of 
  lands 
  to 
  invite 
  another 
  

   /person 
  to 
  do 
  that 
  which 
  he 
  might 
  himself 
  lawfully 
  do, 
  and 
  so 
  construed 
  

   the 
  proviso 
  can 
  be 
  sustained."
