I would rather see the sea- |son closed for three years on all birds jthan to allow the hunting dog in the fields again. It is not against the true sportsmen and lovers of nature that we need the strenuous laws for the protection of our game; it is against those that call themselves sportsmen but who are game hogs and only have lust for killing.

I was much interested in the letter in The Bismarck Tribune of Jan. 28, writted by Mr. W. R. Everett of Dick- inson, N. D. It would be well for the sportsmen and members of the Izaak | | Walton league to read it. It is full of facts and worthy of consideration. Come again, Mr. Everett; we need your help and others who are not afraid to stand up for what is right. Let us have a game law and game de- partment that is not tied up in poli- tics. | Yours very truly, , Cc. P. PETERSON, 1214 N.

I am also inclined to believe that more murderers go free in states having capital punishment than in those without it. In other words, capital punishment makes conviction more difficult.

He asserted that once a boy recognizes room for improvement in himself the improvement already is well on the way.
