Why New Jersey Defeats the
Audubon Bill.

The Upper House of the Legisla-
ture of the State of New Jersey re-
fused to pass the Radcliffe bill
which passed the Assembly and which
is known as the Model Audubon bill.
introduced in various legislatures at
the instance Of the Audubon societies.
1t is the same bill as that passed re-
Gently by the New York State Assem-
bly, and known as the "Shea bill"
and which the Senate of the latter
State reported favorab1y, with an
amendment.
The bill provided that no person
shall have in his or her possession,
living or dead, any wild bird, other
than game bird, or purchase, offer
or expose for sale. any such wild bird
after it has been killed or caught,
and no part of the plumage, skin or
body of any bird protected by this
section shall be sold or had in pos
session for sale.
The bill does not apply to feathers
of birds of paradise, ostrich, domes-
tic fowl or domestic pigeons, or any
bird or plumage not of the same
specie as the birds protected by the
State. Any person violating the pro-
posed law shall be subject to fine
of $40 for each offense
'The fact that any birds or game
belong to a different species from
that native to the State of New York
shall constitute no defense to the
possession thereof, provided such
birds or game belong to the same
family as that protected by this
chapter"
The defeat of this bill gives the
women of the State of New Jersey
the right to wear what they please
on their hats. The Senate justly re-
Dukes the Assembly and the Audi
bon cranks for attempting to inter-
fere with the commerce of the State
and the individual rights of it's wo-
men by endeavoring to regulate their
wearing apparel.
Prominent women of the State
protested against it's passage, and
when it came to a vote the bill was
defeated, which settles the matter in
New Jersey for another year at least.

praises of Ohio and Ohio men and wom-
en-. 1t remained for President Taft
however, to sound the one political note
which was heard at the meeting.
In the course of his speech the Presi-
dent urged upon Ohio to continue the
Ohio representation in Congress as We
have il, so that representation shall be
the foremost in both halls of Congress"
The President explained that the small
states of the east exercise so much pow
err in national affairs because they are
wise enough to put good men in Con-
gress and keep them there; that the
longer men of ability are retained In
Congress the more powerful they become

PROTECTION TO CONSUMERS.
Floating of Oysters. in Brackish
Waters Forbidden.

Oysters can no longer be fed-or as the
trade term goes 'floated in brackish
water"-before they are offered for sale.
The Department of Agriculture has or
dered that the practice must stop at once.
The order affects all the oyster trade in
the United States. and is of immense i'm
portance to dealers.
Recently the department gave hearing
to the FISHERMAN, who maintained that
the quality of the oyster is improved by
the floating process. Tho Department of
Agriculture, however. holds that TO float
