William T. Hornaday is disturbed by events at home and abroad. The American Defense Society is fighting against pacifism and working hard to prevent “disloyal meetings” from taking place in New York. Hornaday is alarmed by a bill drawn up Congressman Sulzer and the Department of Agriculture, and supported by Charles Sheldon and Edward William Nelson, allowing the sale of Alaskan big game all year round.
