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 enjoj- it. This applies 
to game also. THEODORE RoosEv^ELT and Edmund Heller.
