bgical Survey, was wholly right when he de- 
lared that more wild fowl are killed each year 
han are produced, and his warning that the de- 
rruction of game birds must be further limited 
i timely and justifiable. 
! "The shipment of game through Bangor thus 
ar this season has not tended to encourage the 
iotel and railroad men, who have been in the 
iabit of multiplying Maine’s actual game supply 
E.y five. The art of polite lying concerning the 
bundance of deer and moose has been carried 
00 far for the good of Maine. These artful 
ricks for the purpose'of drawing trade are so 
>ld they have now become commonplace. In 
act, the differentially arranged pictures of a 
lut of venison have become artistic chestnuts, 
t'ears ago the reliable newspapers refused to 
irint these pictures unless they are paid for at 
egular rates as advertisements. It has become 
. case of where you cannot fool all of the edi- 
ors all of the time. 
"The resident alien is the worst the depart¬ 
ment of fish and game has to contend with. He 
1 hould pay a license of $25, and not be allowed 
o carry any kind of firearms into the woods 
luring closed season. 
"The commissioners of every adjoining State 
aid the provinces recommend and advocate the 
ictua! necessity of a resident as well as a non- 
esident license law, and an alien license law that 
vill keep them a portion of the time within the 
neaning of the law. 
' "You can talk about working up public senti- 
nent to a better situation in Vermont. There 
is no sentiment of feeling in the protection of 
ish and game among the class who continually 
.-iolate the fish and game laws from year to 
/ear, and every month in the year. The only 
vay to stop these miserable violators is to catch 
hem if you can and give them the limit of the 
aw. I know a lot of them would be in jail, but 
hat is where they ought to be. It would give 
hem an opportunity for reflection. However, 
.ve should by all means try to create by educa- 
:ion. by consistent arguments, and by example 
;et by ourselves, a sentiment of pride in observ¬ 
ing our game laws. Whenever the farmer is 
ronvinced and realizes that it is for his interest 
to have fish and game protected, and is enthus¬ 
iastic enough in his conviction to lodge a com¬ 
plaint with the county or deputy warden when¬ 
ever he is known, to any violation of the fish 
and game laws, then we have reached the point 
where public sentiment is master of the situa¬ 
tion.’’
