OWOSSO, MICH. SEPT. 10. 1918.

The special congressional election in
the third Maine district held on Mon
day was for several weeks the center of
interest politically throughout the ma
ton, each of the three leading parties
putting forth a great effort to win.
The Republicans determined to hold
the district to show that protection was
still the wish of the people of the dis
trict; the Democrats equally anxious
to win to prove the popularity of the
nearfree- trade Underwood tariff bill;
the Progressives struggling to maintain
party existence, each with its strongest
men as speakers put up such fight as
the district had never before seen. The
result: Republican vote, Is, l06; Demo-
crat, 1853; Progressive. 6,4S7. Com.
bining the vote OF the Republican and
Progressive parties-both favoring a
protective tariff-shows 21.595 votes
for protection as against IA, 553 for the
Democratic tariff program. Last fall
the district cast IA 692 votes for Will
son, ID, 1876 for Roosevelt, 1850 for Taft.
Thus on the showing of this week
more than 1000 voters who cast their
ballots for the Progressive party last
fall are again voting the Republican
ticket-despite the fact that ex.Sen.
Beverage and other persuasive and
eloquent orators urged them to remain
with the new party. The get-together
spirit is gaining ground daily and a
year hence it is our opinion that the
Republican ranks will show the return
of practically all who voted the Pro-
gressive ticket in 1919

Tobacco Notes

VIM. S. Brill returned Thursday last
to his home in New York by way of
Lancaster, Pa, where he is now pur-
chasing packing.
Mr.. Paul Hirschorn returned to New
York after few days stay in the
state. He leaves the latter part of the
month for Amsterdam, Holland, to at
tend the Sumatra sales and will visit
his parents for some time before he re-
turns.
The New York tobacco journals re-
port some important changes in the
United Cigar Manufacturers Co. in the
retirement of Jacob Wertheim as pres
ident and the election of Frederick
Hirschorn to succeed him. Also the
consolidation with the M. A. Gunst
Co., the big Pacific coast distributors,
who operate clear Havana factories at
Key West and Tampa. The CONSOLE
dated concern will therefore be in a
position to supply all the needs of the
market. The United Cigar Manufac-
turers Co. operate So cigar factories
and produce more than million cigars
a day, and yet the company began the
month of February with untitled orders
for AZ million cigars.

ALL SPECIAL CAME
 LAWS ARE ANULLfD
SUPREME COURT DECISION
FISH AND GAME BELONG TO WHOLE PEOPLE OF STATE.
 COURT DECLARES.

Little Rock, Nov. 1S.-One of the most important decisions relative to the game laws of the state was hand ed down by the supreme court Mon- day in the case of Lewis vs. State, on appeal from Grant circuit court. In effect, it declares that all the spe- clal and local game laws of the state are invalid.
 George Lewis of the Little Rock de- tective force, was fined $1O for hunt ing in Saline county in violation of act 28O, approved March 29, 1913, which provides that non-residents may not hunt or fish in Grant, Hot Spring and Lonoke counties without paying license of $1, under penalty of $10 to $50. Circuit court affirmed the justice court, but the supreme court reverses and dismisses the suit upon the ground that it is liscrimi- natory because it does not require the citizens of the counties named to pay a license also. The court says:
 "No reason is given in the act why citizens of these counties should be classified within a favored territory having privileges not enjoyed by oth- CT citizens upon the same terms. The classification is based upon residence only, and without being shown furth- CT on the face of the act, it must be held as arbitrary and unjustly dis criminative as to citizens outside the territory mentioned.
 "The fish and game of the state be- long to the whole people of the stat, collectively. When it becomes neces- sary for the propagation and preser- vation of wild game and fish for the use of the public, the people acting in their sovereign capacity, through their law-making power, may pass laws to regulate the right of each in- dividual which he enjoys in common with every other member of the com munity to the use of the same. But when the sovereign undertakes to regulate or restrain the individual in its right as a member of the commun- ity to enjoy to take and use the com mon property of all, it must do so upon the same terms to all members of the community alike.'

WALLACE DECISION
 FAv0RS RETAILERS.
FREIGHT REBATE CLAIMS
DO NOT GO TO WHOLESALERS ON PREPAID FREIGHT,
 HE DECIDES.

Little Rock, Nov 18.-Special Mas ter J. G. Wallace Monday afternoon rendered his decision in the dispute between wholesale and retail lumber dealers over the rebate due from over charges collected on shipments while the state rate litigation was pending Both claimed the rebate, but Special Master Wallace decided in favor of the retailers. The opinion was a lengthy one, and went fully into the law in the ease, giving the legal cita- tions upon which his finding was based. The wholesalers gave notice of appeal to the Federal court, bu. as Special Master Wallace will not file his report until he has completed all settlements in the rebates, it will be we'll along in the new year before Judge Trieber can pass upon the matter finally.
 This case, together with a number of others, came before the Special Master in the form of interventions. There is about $500 OOO due the lum- bermen from the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railroad, and the St. Louis-S Southwestern, collected on shipments while the rate litigation was pending. The Wisconsin-Arkan- sas Lumber Company, of Walco, filed an intervention to collect the rebate on all interstate shipments made by 1t during the same period. The East Arkansas Lumber Company of Para gould, a consignee in one of the Wis consin-Arkansas shipments, also filed an intervention to make test of the case. Some other lumber companies also filed interventions in order to become parties to the suit.
 In his decision, Special Master Wallace declares that the miller sold to the consignee at the mill, and his title to the property passed when the lumber was delivered to the common carrier. He showed that the price at the mill did not change, but variations in price were made to cover changes in freight rates, when such were ordered
 The principal decision of the Ar kansas supreme court, upon which the decision of the special master was founded, was rendered by Ster- ling R Cockrill, as chief justice of the supreme court, and his son, Ash ley Cockrill, represented the Wiscon- sin-Arkansas Lumber Company in this litigation.
