“ONE BROWNIE GLORY ENOUGH’’
Seldom have we had such a trenchant expression of
common sense relative to the hunter’s limit on Alaska’s
great brown bear as appears in our interview with Robert
Frothingham in today’s news columns. Mr. Frothingham
has just returned from a hunt down on the Peninsula,
•with one bear hide to his bag instead of three, with an ac
companying bunch of sympathy from his comrades ac
count of his “bad luck”, which he resents in no uncertain
terms.
When we stop to consider that, with the possible ex
ception of mining and the salmon fisheries, Alaska’s
greatest asset is her wild game, it certainly behooves us to
get down to brass tacks on the subject of conservation.
When Mr. Frothingham practically states that he would
consider himself a “killer” to ruthlessly slaughter three of
our great ‘brownies” simply because the game law entitled
him to such a! limit, he isn’t indulgiing any mawkish argu
ment. Quite the contrary, he raises a question of which
every thoughtful resident of the Territory who possesses
any small remnant of public spirit and regard for the
future of Alaska’s splendid wild game should take notice.
We are a prodigal, easy-going nation, prone at all
dames to “let George do it”. Suggestions and hints don’t
register with us at all. We need the giant fire-cracker
placed beneath our chair on most questions of public
spirit. Nothing seems to stir us. Mr. Frothingham real
ises, as comparatively few of us do, that the 1700 miles of
sea trip lying betwreen Seward and Seattle, plus the raik
.way journeys from the Pacific coast eastward, are our
greatest guarantee of the preservation of our game. Un
der normal circumstances, there will never be an overplus
of hunters journeying here from the States. And the
greatest asset we have for those who do come is a practi
cal assurance that they will get their game—that the
gamble has been removed. The moral value of such a con
dition to our hunters is beyond expression. There isn’t
one man out of a hundred who comes here to hunt who
goes away “skunked.’’ We all know it and glory in our
supremacy.
Mr. Frothingham sees an end to that ideal condition
unless we watch our step on the question of conservation.
His is a clarion call to every Alaskan who wants to see our
matchless wilderness teeming with game for our children
and our children’s children. Our Canadian neighbors
and the States of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho are wak
ing up to conditions that, if unheaded, will most assuredly
see the windup of big game hunting within the next few
years. Today Alaska has more to offer the hunter than
all of the States and Canada put together. Let us not
neglect such a priceless heritage. We are glad that our
Game Commission has reduced the limit on brown bear
to two. That’s a step in the right direction. But—we
don’t want to forget that “eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty.”
Read our interview with Mr. Frothingham and think
-it over. There are no “tailings’’ in that stuff. * *
