Mr.. Parsons said in relation to the
recent law court decision in the
moose case, where a warden seized
a moose from DIR. Wood, who was
taking 1t home through Maine from
New Brunswick:
The decision of the court is per
fectly satisfactory to this depart
ment. 1t upholds the law prohibit
ing the bringing of moose meat or
venison into the State in close time.
Whenever or wherever taken caught
or killed. which was the real oues-
ton under consideration.
THE plaintiff, DIR. Wood, observed
the law in New Brunswick doing ey-
erything necessary to make the
moose his legal property In that pro-
vince. He acted in good faith and
there was no disposition on the part
Of this Fish and Game Department to
deprive him Of that property so ac-
quired but to make a friendly test
case as to determine clearly the law
in similar cases for the future Ruid-
ance Of the department as well as
sportsmen
THE Fish and. Game Department
contend that under the police
power Of the State, the Lesisla ture
had a right to prohibit the bringing
OF venison into the State in close
season. The law court upheld that
position.
THE reason that the warden did
not follow up the seizure with war
rant and prosecution was that the
department did not feel that any un-
necessary expense should be made
for the plaintiff and by his early
agreement with the warden the car
cass was held in cold storage TO
await the courts decision.
THE decision, as said, IL satisfac-
tory to US and no one can in the fu-
ture plead ignorance Of the law or its
meaning"

Bread and It's Handling

Realizing the great importance that
care should be taken in handling
bread, A. NJ G. Soule- chief Of the
division of inspection Of the Maine
Department of Agriculture, stated
Thursday that an attempt has been
made to investigate the methods used
in dispensing this product, not only in
the shop but on the delivery teams
and in stores.
Bread, when it comes from the
oven, is probably in sterilized con-
dition. which can Faithfully be said
of both the surface of the loaf and Of
the Interior said Mr.. Soule.
However, this is the last sterilizing
process the bread receives before be-
ing consumed, as very small amount
of bread is subjected to any further
heating or toasting process" con-
tinued Mr.. Soule.
1T is therefore evident that bread
should be kept at all times, IN order
to be suitable for food. carefully pro-
tected. and, to this end the inspectors
have attempted to advise the drivers
Of bakery teams to be particularly
clearly in their habits and in the
matter of handling unwrapped bread.
In most cases, our advice has been
gratefully received and usually heed
ed, but there is still chance for i'm
provement. Bakers, in general. have
readily agreed that if for no other
economic reasons it was to their ad-
vantage to wrap bread. In regulating
the sale of bakery products a new
situation has arisen brought about by
the advent into the State Of a system
Of baking where the whole operation
of making, baking and distributing
the finished product is attended to
under the observation Of the pur-
chaser.
The bread produced under these
conditions is placed on racks i'm
rnediately behind the counter of the
salesroom within easy reach of pro-
spective customers and not far enough
away to escape the spray from the
customers mouths when they talk,
sneeze or cough, and the bread thus
exposed in the cooling process and
the dust Of the streets, the dust Of
the floor which is continually stirred
up by. the procession of customers
coming in.
Therefore, in spite of the claims
as to proper sanitation, it is evident
that the establishments conducted un-
der these conditions are not in a posi-
ton to deliver as safe and clean
food product as the average baking
shop which maintains its baking room
entirely apart from the place where
the sale Of their. bakery goods takes
place and where care is taken to wrap
the bread or insure it's purity within
glass case or a. closed-in glass win
dow while displaying it.
Our recommendations to them
have been that either a. partition with
or without glass windows shutting off
the work room from the sales room or
rack coverings completely enclosing
the bread racks, should be provided in
order that the sale Of the bread
could be accomplished without offend
ing the clause in our food law pro-
viding that food shall. at all times, be
carefully protected from dust and dirt.

ONSTANTINOPLE. Oct. II (Asso-
ciated Press) One thousand Greek, Ar
menian and Jewish emigrants sailed from
here for America on the Turkish ship
Gul Diemal, the first steamer departing
for an American port from C0nstantinople
since the war They left without con-
sent of the French authorities in control
here. and many did not hold American
passports. Charles r. Allen, United
States consul in this city, notified the
state department in Washington the
steamer did not bear proper bill of
health
The ship, which was formerly the Ger
manic of the White Star line. is the prop
erty of a Turkish company, but is under
charter by Greeks She was the subject
of involved disputes for a fortnight.
French officials demanded that she be re
turned to Turkish jurisdiction. while the
British asserted the French attitude was
blocking Turkish commercial development,
and criticized Consul Aliens attitude in
Directing to the vessels departure without
complying with American regulations.
During the turmoil preceding the depar-
ture of the vessel. the passengers were
without food, but finally the captain made
a speech declaring the British had guar
anteed the ship would sail With the
passengers provided with Italian and
British passports, and with a band play
ing, the steamer left the harbor.

aid to Roumania and the sending of a
fleet to Europe as reported by Senator
Spencer and general promise that if
the world should be troubled again as il
was III 1917 and American rights were
violated, the United States would not
hesitate to send fleet and am army to
Europe once more to save civilization
This is practically the same thing as
Senator Knox included in his famous
paragraph five, in the resolution ne
wrote as a substitute for the league Of
nations.
But, the issuance of the documents
showing how. President Wilson was in
frequent cable communication with
former President Taft, during. the peace
conference, IS plainly intended by the
Democrats and by the president himself
as a refutation of the oft-repeated charge
that he never consulted anybody or that
he wanted the pact ratified without the
crossing of a IT, or the dotting of an
i, exactly as he wrote it,
The White house has plenty of letters
from Herbert Hoover, too, which, if
published, may place him in an embarras-
sing position before the country The
fact of the matter is that while the
Democratic strategy may not cause Re
publicans to depart from Harding i'm suf-
1icient numbers TO be decisive, the Demo-
Gratis have begun to build a record for
the future so that even if thev lose the
shape in 1922 and 1924 in the congressional
and presidential elections respectively.
There are Democrats who believe for in
stance that the question of how much of a
part America shall take in European af-
fairs, viii continue to be an issue for the
next FIVE years or perhaps longer so
long, indeed. as Europe owes America
ten billions of dollars and so long as the
reduction of taxes in America depends
upon how much payment may be ex-
pected from Stabilized and peaceful
Europe
The President is going out of Office, but
he has begun in the last week fight be-
fore the jury of American public opinion,
not merely for vindication on election
day, but after that as long as he is able
to speak or write the views that are
closest to his heart. His present effort
is to draw to his side Republicans who
favor the league. He may not expect
them to vote for Cox, but he is trying to
prevent them from helping Harding.
That's the Democratic strategy.
