SUMAURY OF GAME LAW It Is Easily Understood and Can Be Obeyed Without Much Effort. Why Hunters Are in Disrepute and Birds Disappearing. The open season on game birds will begin Monday morning at daylight. The season does not open Sunday and tportsmen should bear that fact In mind, it is true there Is only a difference of a day and many of the shooters will not be able to get out for a week, but If they be true sportsmen they will observe the letier and the spirit of the luw, which Is framed for their benellt largely.

While the hrms doing so nave probably not taken that view of the matter, and while there is no intent to make the criticism apply as being at all personal, the fact that rewards are being offered in nous-ton ana other cities of the State py ammunition dealers for the first bag of uuail to be brought In Monday morning Is a bad thing. It Isn't right It encourages the pot hunter; it Is exactly In lino with the development of the game hotand there are already enough of thim: It adds cupidity to tne other passions which stir in the reckless man and loy who go out close to the city wltn their guns and get the whole tribe of hunters In disrepute. The spirit of the man who shoots for the bare results only; who prefers one barrel In a bunch of sitting quail to nftv shells in an endeavor to kill his birds cleanly on the wing; who doesn't give a tap for the rights of others la the spirit which Is Denuding the forest and field of the game. And every' effort should be made to discourage and not to encourage such a tplrit. The Texas game law is easily understood; It Is easily obeyed.

The game warden for Harris county should have every encouragement and every assist ance to have It observed. The man who deliberately violates that law will Just as readily (Violate any other, a-nd It Is the duty of every good cltisen to see, as far as possible, that all laws are observed. Every year there 1s a larger class of foreigners who get hold of pot metal uns and wander about the city on Bun-ay. shooting the red bird, the black biid. the mocking bird or anything else with feathers on.

On one street car last Sunday the writer saw seven of this who could hardly speak English with a shotgun each and a bundle. They said that the bundles contained rabbits and there was a smell of rabbit about them. But the bundles were closely wrapped and the rabbit smell is amply sufficient to hide the smell of birds. Those people don't know the law about birds, whether Kame or not. But thev are fixing thlnits so that those of us who find pleasure with gun and dog will have to go to the traps all the year and poison the setter and pointer because we haven't any use for them.
