How the Law fs Interpreted

How the Law is Interpreted.
 Gun and Rod Club brought action in Squire NeIson's court against J NJ. White, keeper of the Raggio Club House on Backfish lake, for unlawfully ob .tructng the passage of fish through the bayou leading from the lake. White and several of his witnesses, and some for the prosecution, appeared in the court the folio vlng day, and the defendant was discharged upon the grounds that he had the right to obstruct such channel. being an employee of the company owning the location upon which the net was stretch ed across. Just how such a decision could have come a5Out seems a puzzle 10 governing the matter, an extract of which is as follows:
 Sec. 342l.-No person shall be showed to place. erect cau.e to bo placed or erected, or maintained. in any of the waters Of this state or in front of tho mouth CT any stream, slough or bayou. any seine. net, gIll-net, tram mel nef, set net, baR weir. buSl-drag, any hsh trap or dam. or any other device or ob- structiou. or by any such means 10 rake or catch any fish in any Of the waters Of ths state. Provided, the prohibitions Of this see tiOu shall not apply to waters wholly OH the premises belonging to such person or persons usiug such device or devices; and. Provided further, may be lawful 10 use very small seine. not to exceed fifteen feet. for catching very small fish usually called minnowR whicA may be thus caught to be used as bait. or for stocking other waters with fiSH, but for other purpose. trovded further. il shall not be unlawfl for any person ar persons to use seine not exceeding sixty feet in length in any unnavgHbie stream or lake in this state to catch fish for family use. or for picnics. and not for sale; nor shall II be unlawful for any person or persons to place traps in tue unnavigable streams Of this state. provided such traps do nut obstruct the free passage of fish in ascending aud descending such streams.
 Sec 3425.-Tno term ''waters of this state" whenever used in this chapter snail he deem ed aud held to moan all streams. lakes ponds, sloughs. bayous or other waters. wholly or in part, within this state.
 Baseing it's prosecutions upon the first proviso in Sec. 342l, the Club at once gave notice of an appeal to the circuit court The fact in the case is that Black fish bayou is not confined to the small scope of 10 acres of land, upon which the management of the clubhouse at that point, has lease upon; but upon the con tfary leads south about 75 mics (by the meanderngs of the bayou where it emp ties into St. Francis river. The lake proper is about 6 miles ia length and it's upper connections extend over a course of 40 miles or more. At certain seasons of the year there is sufficient water the en- tire course 10 float the largest Uf Uncle sam war vessels. Now for violator oi tho law to dodge behind little 10 acre ltasc and stop the passage of fish in this great expense of water is a chestnut for the average legislator to crack.

The leading speech in the tariff debate

Representative Dolliver of Iowa, of whom
the Washington correspondent of the
Boston Globe says: Gle is one OF the
most graceful, polished and forcible ora

Delivers remarkable effort was reached
when he read from the old Sangamon
journal of Springfield, H., contempo-
raneous report of resolutions offered by
Abraham Lincoln in 1913, denouncing the
policy of borrowing money to meet de-
ficiencies, and declaring in favor of the
policy of protection to American indus
tries. THAT was "a years ago. said
Mr.. Dolliver, ''but it sounds just like the

there is no difference between Lincolnism
and Dingleyism.' At this point the Re-
publicans burst into tempestuous ap-
plause, in which the galleries joined At

A busy session of the Maine Legislature
closed last Saturday. The appropriations
foot up So, 500, 27S. 50, and during the ses-
sion Governor Powers signed 131 resolves
and 40s acts. We give in supplement
this week the laws enacted. A doubt is
expressed as to the constitutionality of
the act making an appropriation for ten
years for the State College; and while
economy was urged from the first, and
this policy was adhered to in some re-
spects, the Legislature was sufficiently
lavish in other directions to swell the APP
preparations to large total.
