By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN
UU migratory birds are safe. The
federal migratory bird act of 1018,
designed to carry out provisions of
a treaty between this country and
Canada for tho protection of migra
tory birds, has been held constitu
tional by the Supreme court of the
United States.
This takes us hack to a blustery
March day In 1019 when n distin
guished party of shooters was pop
ping away merrily at tho mallards
and bluebllls In a marsh at Nevada, Mo. It real
ly was a distinguished party. In It were Attorney
General Frank McAllister of Missouri ; J. It. Rey
nolds of Kansas City; IS. S. Vllmoare, Kansas
City, nnd M. S. Bodlno and Clarence Evans of
Paris, Mo.
Uiit congress had previously passed the fed
eral migratory bird act, which among other things
prohibits spring shooting of wntcr fowl. How
came It then, that tho attorney general of the
state of Missouri was In the party?
Well, ho was "from Missouri." Tho Missouri
folks havo to be shown, you know. And Attor
ney Qcncrnl McAllister and his friends had an
Idea that tho migratory bird act was unconstitu
tional. They liked to shoot ducks spring, as
well as fall nnd they proclaimed that tho act
Interfered with the sovereignty of tho stnto ot
Missouri and with the property rights of the peo
plo of Mlssouil.
So Attorney General McAllister of Missouri
and his friends went hunting March 7, 1010.
Moreover, they didn't caro who knew It. Maybe
they oven tipped It off to tho federal game war
dens. Anyway, tho federnl game wardens put In
an appearance nnd nrrcsted tho attorney general
and his pnrty. Tho party was nrralgned at Clin
ton, Mo. McAllister took tho case Into court, nsk
Ing for an Injunction to restrain tho federnl game
wardens from enforcing the Inw. Federal Judge
A. S. Van Valkenburgh held tho lnw constitutional
nnd tho state appealed to the United States Su
premo court.
To Georgo Shlrns III., nnd Ellhu Root the
millions of bird-lovers owe gratitude. So do tho
millions of gardeners nnd farmers who, with the
Insectivorous birds gone, would bo enten up by
their Insect foes. George Shlrns, a member of
congress from Pennsylvania, began the tight away
back In 1001. Ellhu Hoot possibly tho most com
mantling Intellect In tho country today cinched
tho victory.
T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary nnd executive of
llcer of the National Association of Audubon so.
duties, who has also a big sharo In tho victory,
Is a wldeawako citizen nnd thoroughly familiar
with tho situation. Let him tell the story of the
long, hard light. Says Mr. Pearson :
"George Shlrns III. was a man of means who
was Interested In good works. In looking over
tho situation in reference to the protection ot
birds, he discovered that tho states all had differ
ent seasons In which migratory game birds could
he shot and that what the situation really amount
ed to was that gamo birds could be shot In dif
ferent parts of the country all through tho year.
Mo decided that the only way to remedy this statu
of affairs, which would In tlmo result In the ex
tinction of gamo birds, was to put the matter un
der government control and thus do away with
tho constant and everlasting wrangling of the
states. So ho Introduced a bill In congress for
tho protection of migratory birds. It was re
ferred to a committee and put tn n pigeonhole,
mid that was the last of It.
"Before this tlmu tho only protection law In
force In tho States was the Audubon lnw, which
wo succeeded In getting enacted In nil but about
eight states. This, however, did not prohibit tho
selling of birds, lit 1010 wo brought about th
prohibition of the sale of aigrettes.
"In theory, the state game laws worked nice,
ly, and It could ho shown on paper that each
state could havo Us chosen shooting season and
still there would he no dying out of birds. But
In practice t hoy did not work ho well. Take, for
Instnnce. duck shooting when the ducks statt
north In tho spring they aro mating and If you
shoot one, thnt breaks up the pair for tho season.
"Well, four years after tho pigeonholing of
Shlrns' bill, John B. Weeks Introduced In the
house the same bill with slight modifications.
Nothing came of it. Ho Introduced It again In
1000, nnd ngaln In 1011, while at tho same time
Georgo P. McLenn Introduced a similar bill In the
senate. In tho spring of 1912 committee hearings
on the hill were begun.
"Both theso bills mentioned migratory gome
birds only. Now, there are only about CO gai.ie
birds," Mr. Pearson said meditatively, putting h.i
pipe, "and there are 1,200 kinds of birds In North
America. There nre 51 warblers alone in tho
eastern pnrt of tho United States. Therefore,
tho Audubon society urged thnt tho bill be
changed to apply to all migratory birds, and this
change wns adopted and put before congress.
"The bill became a law on March 4, 1014; ex
Prcsldcnt Tnft signed It on the morning thnt ho
gave up his ofllco as ono of his Inst ofllclal acts.
Authority was given to tho department of agri
culture, then, to go ahead and make the rules
governing tho killing of birds. Tho department
of agriculture did not know anything about birds,
so they turned It over to n special branch of the
department, tho Biological survey. Three men
of tho Biological survey drew up a lot of regula
tions nnd nnnounccd them to tho states. Imme
diately there was a roar of objections from all
over tho country, nnd all of tho states thought
their rights bad been Infringed.
"Then enmo n test case. Out In Big Lake, Ark.,
a man killed a coot In vlolntlon of the regulations.
Ho was arrested and tho federal Judge for the
Eastern district of Arkansas declared tho fed
eral migratory bird laws Illegal. Tho case, of
course, then went to tho Supremo court of tho
United Stntcs. The Supremo court wns very hos
tile, and tho enso dragged along for severnl
months. FInnlly, tho Supreme court did n very
unusual thing. It asked the department of ngrl
culture to restate Its case, from which wo under
stood that th,o court was a tie, and tho case was
referred back to tho department of Justice.
"In tho period of wnltlng which followed Ellhu
Hoot came to our assistance. 'This may be de
clared unconstitutional nnd everything lost,' ho
snld, 'but wo may bo able to beat It. A treaty
Is not subject to revision by tho Supremo court,
so why not get these ideas written into a treaty?'
"Immediately the machinery was set In motion
which would turn the bill into n trenty. After
a gient deal of troublo arrangements wero finally
concluded with Great Britain for Canada and
tho treaty was drawn up. But a treaty Is a
deail letter unless congress by law states what
department shall enforco It thnt Is every treaty
requires an enabling act.
"1 went down to Washington and spent six
weeks there trying to arouse Interest In tho ena
bling act for our treaty. The treaty was ratllled
by congress on September 1!9, 101(1, nnd n yenr
or so later tho enabling net was passed. Thou
tho government, remembering tho tremendous
amount of abuse heaped upon them nftcr tho
drafting of tho first set of regulations, decided
to havo a coinmltteo to II ml out what tho people
wanted, and they appointed a nntlonnl committee
of ilrst a dozen men nnd Inter about 20.
"Soon after this In Missouri some men went
hunting nnd violated the regulations nnd were ar
restetl. Tho case was referred to tho Supremo
court, nnd on this enso tho present decision Is
based, holding legal tho enabling act and thus
protecting tho treaty."
This very wiso decision makes qulto clear the
position of state rights when It comes to birds.
It says:
"Tho state, as wo have Intimated, founds its
claim of exclusive authority upon nn assertion of
tltlo to migratory birds, an assertion that Is em
bodied in statute. No doubt it Is true that as
between n stato and its Inhabitants tho state may
regulate tho killing and salo of such birds, hut It
does not follow that Its authority Is exclusive of
paramount powers. To put tho clnlm of tho stato
upon title Is to lean upon n slender reed, wild
birds aro not In tho possession of any ono; nnd
possession Is the beginning of ownership. The
whole foundation of the state's rights Is tho
presence within their Jurisdiction of birds that
yesterday had not arrived, tomorrow may bo In
another stato and In a week 1,000 milt's nway. If
wo are to bo accurate we cannot put tho case of
sSKSkM
zv?r
tho stnto upon higher ground than that the treaty
deals with creatures that for tho moment aro
within the state borders, that It must bo cnrrled
out by olllecrs of tho United Stntes within tho
samo territory and that but for the treaty tho
state would bo free to regulate this subject It
self." With the federal migratory bird law In opera
tion nnd Canada holding up her end as she is
tho birds have a chance. As soon as Mexico Is
brought to time nnd mndo to behave decently,
tho same kind of treaty will bo arranged with
her. Then tho birds will bo protected all along
tho line of migration.
It Is tho opinion of most duck shooters thnt
tho good effect of tho federal migratory bird law
Is already very much in evidence. Tho birds now
nest in many of their old nesting places In the
United States, Instead of going dear to northern
Cnnnda. LIko all wild life they aro quick to
sense their protection and to tako advantago of
It. In consequence tho hunter, from his view
point, is pleased with the working of the law
becauso it gives him more ducks to shoot In the
full.
The Judgment of the hunter Is confirmed by
that of tho biologist Tho United Stntes Biological
survey Is engaged In a study of tho conditions at
tho larger breeding places In various parts of
tho country. A 1020 report on "Waterfowl In
Nebraska" an illustrated bulletin of 77 pages
by Harry C. Oberholser says on this point, In
pnrt :
"In Its natural stnto that Is, unaffected by
the prcscuco of man the sand hill region of Ne
braska Is an Ideal breeding placo for waterfowl.
It Is, Indeed, ono of the very best of the remain
ing breeding grounds. Tho grent number of
marshy lakes, with their abundant supply of food,
shelter, and breeding places provide advantages
which It would bo dllllcult to surpass.
"It Is tho universal testimony of residents nnd
of sportsmon that tho myriads of ducks which In
former times frequented the sand hill region,
particularly during spring nnd fall, have been
greatly reduced. This diminution Is due In part
to spring shooting, but nlso to a number ok other
causes, Including tho slaughter of ducks In grent
numbers both south nnd north of Nebraska. Tho
migration flights here, however, are still largo
and show that thero remains a good supply of
waterfowl, which with proper protection nnd rea
sonable regulation of shooting will continue indefi
nitely to furnish excellent sport. Tho breeding
waterfowl of tho snnd hills also havo suffered
from hunters, particularly In spring. On many
of tho lakes there aro club houses owned by
sportsmen from cities outside of tho county, who
wero long In tho habit of shooting hero regular
ly In spring.
"Slnco tho enactment of the federal statute of
1018, known ns tho federal migratory bird law,
thero has been comparatively little spring shoot
ing In tho snnd hill region, for tho law seems to
havo been very well observed.
"In all tho localities that tho writer visited he
mado careful Inquiries regnrdlng tho effect thqt
tho stopping of spring shooting has had on tho
numbers of waterfowl, particularly ducks. It Is
very gratifying to noto thnt after tho federal law
went Into effect ducks began steadily to Increase
In Nebraska, particularly In tho lakes of eastern
Cherry comity, thoso about tho headwaters of
tho North l.oup river, and at tho Cody Lakes
