A desire to continue sport, produced game laws, 
and necessity to appeal to the public to sustain 
them, produced the early convincing arguments 
which have ince been augmented by game con¬ 
servation logic of the present date. 
It was a long time before we began to learn 
that protection for the birds was necessary tc 
prevent the bugs from destroying “all life on 
this planet, or exactly how many thousands of 
weed seeds a certain bird consumed and digested 
every few hours. Few of us even dreamed we 
would ever see official printed maps showing the 
zig-zag flying motions of certain birds or the 
route of migratory flight of wild fowl. 
We know something about the “cork screw 
movements” of one of our long billed-birds; we 
also learned to guess fairly well when the ducks 
would arrive and depart; how to squawk duck- 
talk on a duck call, also how to take an observa¬ 
tion along the rib of our gun barrels, but we had 
to take a back seat when in the presence of our 
new sportsmen’s allies and “experts” who re¬ 
ferred to our jacksnipe as gallinaga deleclata, or 
to a red headed woodpecker as melancrpes eryth- 
rocephalus. We didn t dare dispute it—we simply 
had to sit back and look wise. 
We fellows who had spent much time and 
money hustling to enact good game laws, never 
met these “experts” at our legislature and we 
never met them anywhere else on the continent 
while we were hunting or fishing, and yet, here 
they were with us, ready to tell us all about our 
sport. 
On of their pet themes is to impress us with 
our unimportance, by letting us know that 
“sportsmen comprise but five per cent, of our 
total population, and that we have no right to 
disregard the wishes of “the remaining 95 per 
cent, of our population ,” when we urge changes 
in the federal hunting regulations, the latest 
legal development in game conservation. 
If it had not been for this “five per cent, of our 
population —sportsmen, there would not be a 
game law on the statute books of any state, nor 
would there be any need for them, as “the 95 per 
cent, of our population,” including game dealers, 
would have killed, sold and eaten all the game in 
the Nation, outside of the zoological gardens. 
If the sportsmen only comprise five per cent, 
of our population, how much less per centage 
can be credited to the “expert” subdivision now 
directing the destinies of “the greatest conserva¬ 
tion law ever enacted”—the migratory bird law? 
Be it far from my purpose to discredit those 
engaged in scientific investigations and statistics 
useful for educational purposes, and therefore 
entitled to be designated as “experts.” Human 
nature is but slightly veneered with what we call 
civilization. It is a natural law for all improved 
forms of life, which have become adapted to 
artificial conditions, to revert back to the char¬ 
acteristics of the common stock, if opportunities 
permit. 
The dear public, with its high ideals of civil¬ 
ization, can quickly revert back to savagery, such 
as is now demonstrated by the European war. 
“Ninety five per cent.” of these savages were 
unorganized, except by the “five per cent.” who 
have conspired for war. They don’t even know 
what they are fighting for, nor how to quit. They 
will eventually pay enormous war debts, in sums 
so staggering that they could have used this 
money in peaceful pursuits, so as to have ac-
