SAYS DEER LAW
 SHOULD BE APPEALED
supt Crampton Agrees That Statute
 is Cruel and Barbarous.

is Cruel and BarbaFous.
 The Connecticut Fish and Game Protective association published statement some time ago of the work of their legislative committee, enum- erating the number of bills that were passed by the legislature which the association favored, and also some preventive work which it did. Fred erick s. Chase, says the Waterbury American, wrote to the president of the association, asking what it was doing in the way of endeaYOrIng to change the present deer law, which he regarded as cruel and barbaTOuS and which had resulted in the killing or maiming, and dying by starvation, Of apparently nearly all of the deer that there were in the state. "Few things" he said, have given me keen CT pleasure than seeing the deer now then on my place in Middlebury and a most unfortunate result of the law which should have practically eEter- minated them. If men must shoot them 1t would seem far better to use a rifle than a shotgun, which results in their being attacked by dogs, af- ter being wounded, or dying from hunger"
 This letter was answered by John M. CramptOn, superintendent of the state board of fisheries and game who
 
 every particular, but that "the com mission is doing absolutely nothing to prevent the deer being eXterminated, and my individual opinion is that the law should never have been passed He added that the work of protecting the deer under this law was ineffeC- tual and called attention to q recent interpretation of the law by Judge Gardiner Greene in the TOTrey case, which he says 'Of course put a stop to any action that might have been taken by this commission. It was that decision that caused a slaughter throughout the state. I am in hopes that at the next session of the legjs- lature that matter will be thre@hed out, and ] would be delighted to have you appear before the committee"
 The TOrrev case, referred to by Su perintendent Champion, resulted from the capture of 9 young deer in the roadway at Putnam Heights. A Put nam lawyer. Attorney Torrey, took protectors were unable to secure pos session of the animal. ToTrey was threatened with arrest unless he gave the door over to the game wardens and an attempt to arrest him actually was made but was unsuccessful. It was claimed the game protectors were acting under Instructions from Super intendent CramptOn in the matter and subsequently, Lawyer TOrrey brought suit against NTr CramptOn, claiming the latter's agents had assaulted him. The case was tried in Windham cOun- ty and the jury found for the plain tiff, reporting substantial dama ges against the defendant, Champion.

The first of the union services of the Park. Broadway and Second Congre- gational churches was held Sunday morning at the Broadway church, the Benjamin w. Bacon, D. D.. of New Haven. The subject chosen by pr. Bacon was Patriotic Preparedness. He took as his text the passages in the third chapter of Matthew, referring to having our house swept and gar nished. His ermon to the children led up to this theme. He spoke of the incident which occurred in New York some time ago when a minister there gathered all the natiOnalitieS whom he could together and back of the church they each cast their country's s flag into a huge pot to be burned with the weII-inteniOned but mistaken idea that individuals should have no sep arate country but only a general one. He entrusted that action with the Ono which might be taken by any teacher, of impressing each of her pupils with the love and glory of his mother COun- try together with the allegiance which he owes this, his adopted one.
 We all know the ordinary interpre- tatiOn of the phrase as to having our house swept and garnished. We real iZe that we must, in the moral realm, not only eradicate our faults and sins but put into their place something higher and better. This is not the only meaning, however.
 Warning to the Nations.
 When Christ spoke these words he was referring to the national life of his time, which had fallen from it's high estate into one of degeneraCy. The old nation had lost it's ideals, and his message had a note of warning for only those nations who are working toward the kingdom of God can hope to survive.
