MAID FOUND A FEW THINGS
AS a Result, Brooklyn Woman Came
Home to Make Few Remarks
to Hubby.

Irving Berlin, the author of "My
Wife's Gone to the Country" said at
a recent dinner in New York.
"a true happening was the inspira-
ton of this song.
I'm July a Brooklyn woman set out
for Ocean Grove, and on her arrival
discovered that her watch, a small af-
fair, was missing. She thought it
had probably dropped on the thick,
soft dining-room rug, so she wired to
the maid at home:
"Let me know if you find anything
on rug in dining-room.'
"a few days later she got from
the maid a letter saying:
"'Dear Madam: I was to let you
know if I found anything on the din
ing-room rug. This is what l found
this morning: Three champagne corks.
Is cigar butts, five cigarette ends, four
blue chips, sc burnt matches and one

Pure Food Law Violation.

Dairy and Food Commissioner ]. O..
Emery reports the first arrest and
conviction under chapter 334, laws Of
1909, in Justice McCabe's court at
Tell. The case was brought by In
spector P. A. Larson against grocer,
charged with exposing for sale food
products without having the same Sc
curely protected from filth, flies, dust
and other contamination in violation
of law. The defendant was sentenced
to pay a fine of SIS and costs.
The case is interesting, said Com
missionary Emery, not only as the
first prosecution under the law but as
an entering wedge for the opening up
of an evil that has too long existed,
the practice of exposing foodstuffs
without protection from the contain
mating influences of flies, dust and
CRIME. The law is sufficiently specific
to promote a reasonable sanitary reg
ulation.

Law Violated by Game Warden.

That the acceptance by deputy
superior, the chief game warden,
to further the political interests of a
candidate for United States senator
the money having been furnished
the chief game warden by the candi-
date for United States senator in ques-
tion-is a violation of the civil serv-
ice law according to an opinion rem
dered by Attorney General Frank L..
Gilbert.
The section of the civil service law
in question is that which provides that
mo officer, agent, clerk or employe
under the government of the state
shall, directly or indirectly, solicit or
receive or be in any manner concerned
in soliciting or receiving any assess
ment, subscription of contribution or
political service, whether voluntary or
involuntary, for any political purpose
whatever from any officer, agent, clerk
or employee of the state.
The case involved is that of Deputy
Game Warden G. G. Kolb, who rece1v-
ed, it is alleged, money from Game
Warden J. w. Stone, which previously
had been transmitted from Isaac
Stephenson for the purpose of further
ing his candidacy for United States
senator at the primary election held
in 1908. Kolb was dismissed from the
service, but made an appeal for rein
statement This opinion settles the
appeal adversely to him. 1t is said
that he will carry the case into the
courts.
Attorney General Gilbert points out
in his opinion, given to Game Warden
Rickeman, that the principal object OF
the law is to abolish the provisions
produced, which previously prevailed,
whereby subordinate officers were OBJ
liged to contribute as well as solicit
political funds and render political
service or incur the disfavor of those
under whom they held their positions.
"The law" he says, should according
ly, be construed so as to fairly effec-
tuate the objects of it's enactment"
The state game warden and his depu-
ties are clearly agents of the state,
according to the view of the attorney
general, and whether United States
senator is technically an officer OF the
state or federal government is not ma
terial "In my opinion" he says, the
deputy in the instant case received the
money in question from the state
game warden" And in conclusion the
attorney general says that such dis
tribution is fairly within the meaning
of the word contribution" and the
further distribution thereof by another
at the behest Of a superior officer is
certainly rendering a political service
to said superior officer.
Concurrently with the above opir'
ion Attorney General Gilbert holds
upon another inquiry, that whether an
employe of the state, holding his posi-
ton under the classified service may
act as county chairman of political
party, depends upon the circumstances
of the particular case. "It does not
necessarily follow" says the attorney
general, ''that because an officer or
employee of the state holds position
as county chairman of political party
that he is violating the provisions OF
the civil service law" 1t all depends
upon the methods and practices en-
ployed by him in conducting the cam
paign.
