MIGRATORY BIRD LAW
CONTINUES IN FORCE

A misleading statement has recently
become current in newspapers OF the
Mississippi Valley and elsewhere, TO the
effect that the Department OF Agricul-
ture has suspended the enforcement OF
the Federal regulations under the
Migratory Bird Law and by the means
has enabled SportSmen, under state
laws. to shoot wild fowl the coming
spring.
Under the Federal regulations as
they now stand. the season on all NIL
gratory wild fowl is closed until next
autumn throughout the United States.
Federal inspectors and WardenS are re-
quired, to report to the Department OF
Agriculture all cases OF violations Of
the regulations, in order that proper
action may be taken.
The Department of Agriculture has
no power to suspend the law or to par
don violations of the regulations.
Doubtless the erroneous impression, on
which the newspaper statements are
based, has grown out Of the tendency
OF litigation involving the conSttu'
tionality OF the Act of Congress approx.
ed March T. 1913, under which the re-
guiationS were promulgated. The lower
Federal courts disagreed as to the vail
dity of the statue and the issue was
carried to the Supreme Court of the
United States. The case was argued in
the Supreme Court in October, 1915
but has not been decided. Following
the lower court decisions, Congress APP
prOpriated money for the purpose OF
continuing the enforcement of the law
The Department of Agriculture is
bound to report to the Department OF
Justice violations of the regulations ii
the Supreme Court should declare the
law constitutional. All persons should,
therefore, be warned Of the danger
they incur from failure to abide by the
regulations.

pieted a so called 10-nch well for Mr.. Jos. Dugar
which is within about one mile of the we'll made for
Mr. Demerest therefore challenge the Layne Bow
Ter Co. and their Mr.. ScOggins to make test Of
these wells using the same engine to pump each well
having same operated by disinterested engineer,
also the Layne& Bowler Co. to pick as Judge
also to pick man and the two men so picked to
. choose third party to act with them as Judges.
Said test to be made with the size wer and I'M
der the same conditions.
The idea of using traction engine operated by

then be no dispute about the power applied in either
case
1t is understood thatithe instalers of the we'll and
pump that produces the least water the wier in

Name Hart To
Succeed Platt

Petitions were put in circulation.
this week in Bergen county for tn
nomination of Congressman A. G..
Hart as member of the Democratic
State Committee. Ever since the
Congressman announced his deter.
mination to not be candidate for re.
election to Congress, he has been be.
sieged with demands that he accert
the State Committeemanship in
recognition of his distinguished serv.
ice to the people of the district an
especially of this county, and though
his il. .-lation was to retire at leas.
for . time from active political serv-
ice, the demands have become so in.
sistent that he has at last given his
consent and host of enthusiastic
Democrats are already ION the job
securing signers to the numerou
petitions.
Since there has as yet been no
other candidacy announced it would
seem that the Democrats of Bergen
county will lay themselves open t.
the charge of rank ingratitude SHOULD.
the Congressman not be accorded {.
unanimous selection. Not that oppo-
sition would in the least endanger his
chances, for it has become pretty
generally recognized that the Demo
Gratis of the county fully appreciate
his services at their full value tina,
no other would have even a remote
chance of defeating him.
A prominent Democrat said last
Tuesday: eff ever man deserved
unstinted recognition by his party.
that man is Congressman Hart. Ever
since his induction into Office he has
consulted the wishes of a majority
of his party members in all things
of a party political nature. And this
in direct opposition to his persona.
desires in many instances makes his
service doubly praiseworthy. His
course in this respect stands out most
prominently in comparison with the
course quite generally adopted by
other office holders who, so to speak,
"cut the wires" between themselves
and the ordinary members of theil
party as soon as the election returns
are completed. This Congressman
Hart has not done; and since he de-
clines further election to Congress
you may rest assured that the Demo
Gratis of Bergen county will see to i,
that such impersonal service will be
preserved to the party in the county.
rather than the spectacle forced upor
them last year Of a member of theil
State Committee seeking by al
means in his power to defeat the
nominees of the Democratic party in
the county"
