followed a hearing held in the State

unanimous in favor Of the opening.
Commissioner Parsons read the pc

the towns surrounding the lake,
which stated that in view OF the
constantly decreasing numbers OF
the trout and salmon, due to the in
creasing numbers Of pickerei IN Cob

H. L. Sherburne, DR.. Walter G.

the statements-being Unanimous
! was in substance as follows:
Pickerel have enormously increased
in Lake Cobbosseecontee. especially
in the last three or four years and
much to tn detriment Of the trout
and salmon fishing. Some Of these
present had fished that lake from 10
to 40 years and all agreed that the
game fish had decreased until the
fishing was decidedly poor. They
were united on the proposition of
thinning out the pickerel by open
ice fishing on stated days and agreed
on Saturday as accommodating the
most people, it being a half holiday.
Guide Merrill thought that from
Jan. Is to March is would be better
dates than those mentioned in the
petitions, during February and
March to move toward the shallow
waters and restricting ice fishing to

the trout and salmon fishing.

dents Of Winthrop and Monmouth

bessaeook and Cochnewagon and te
open Cobbossee on another day
would give them two days per week

said as q warden he had the least
trouble from the cottage owners OF
any class of fishermen.
H.xL. Sherburne said that IS years
ago he seldom caught pickerel but
in the last few years caught them
anywhere he fished. He favored the
Jan. Is to March Is open period.
DR.. w. G. Thomas said he f1shed
Cobbosseecontee principally for pick
erel and knew they were very plenty.
He favored opening the lake to public
ice fishing on the days mentioned.
Harry H. Pierce favored any ac-
ton by the commissioner that would
improve the gam fishing and induce
more people to visit the lake, instead
Of going elsewhere.
Arthur H. Kraus endorsed, all that
had been said in favor VI opening the
lake to ice fishing.
Harry r. Jackson said he had for
years fished Annabessacook, Mariana
cook and Cobbossee and knew that
the pickerel had in the latter lake
hurt the other fishing. The fishing
in Maranacook was ahead In the last
few years OF Cobbossee and largely
to the fact that they had less pickerel
Commissioner Parsons said that he
was as much interested a. anyone
present in the successful fishing at
Cobbosseecontee. He went all over

that you give US all the fish possible
for planting in Cobbossee? A.
Mr.. Parsons-I was going to do
that anyway.
And it had been noted that the
commissioner had asked numerous
questions 1bou. the tributaries of
Cobbossee and their suitability for
trout and salmon spawning and for
the placing Of fry. The opinion was
general among those present that

largely instrumental in lettering the
salmon and trout fishing.
Dwight L. Higgins agreed az to

be to the game fishing. He knew

Maryland's Mental Survey.

Gov. Ritchie of Maryland at the request of the
National Committee on Mental Hygiene has
named a committee of men and women representa-
tive OF the best leaders in the States medical edu-
catonal and social welfare ranks who to make
a Survey of the State The former secretary of
the Maryland Mental Hygiene Society, Dr. William
b Cornell, will act administrator, and aiding him
will be men of national and international reputation
For the benefit of the unnitiated let it be said
that this survey will deal chiefly with those facts OF
child and adult life which modern science groups
under the genera title of defective mentality due to
vice, inbreeding disease, and causes over which
society is coming to have control Public health
can best be conserved and delinquency, dependency,
crime and race degeneration best retarded or ex-
tinguished after such Survey is made.
State that sets about such a task at once let's
1t be known that it is up to date; that it is inter
csted in human welfare and that it intends to save
money as well persons commission const-
tuted as this is, with only advisory power
imperis no personal rights; but it does show that
modern scientists the State admirably if
enlisted.
Acting through the members of its faculty, who
are the commission Johns Hopkins University
is to show its civic spirit and also sense of graft
tudc for avors received from the State. Co-operat
ing with the commission the State Board of Educa-
ton will indicate that it is alive to some of the most
serious phases OF school administration. The same
statement be made about the cooperation Of
the State Lunacy Commission, the Children's Aid
Society and the officials of the States penoIogcal
institutions The day has passed when society can
allow the below-par members OF it to go unstudied
and unrestraned and when it can with justice go on
treating criminals persons who have not the
mental capacity to know right from wrong
States that begin to adventure in this field Of
research and social protection first will first show
the ethical and pecuniary gains that must follow.
The range of this Survey" OF course, will be
rural we'll urban. The cities and the country
act and react each other in this realm as else
where. In pursuing its quest for facts the Survey
must expect resistance, for some of the data it de-
SireS is not readily disclosed. But such hostility
and reluctance can be overcome, if not in one way
then in another, providing discretion is equal to
zeal. Much depends upon the sort Of Investigators
used. The members of the commission are ad-
mirable. Their subordinates should be most care
fully selected.

Labor and British Coal Mines.

ten days ago the outlook in the British Isles was

war itself. The walk-out of the coal miners was to
be followed by that of the railroad workers, and
the prospect for widespread distress and suffering
seemed to be inescapable.

government and the miners can only be looked upon
as another evidence of the singular skill and as

FINDS SAVAGE BEINGS
ARE CONSERVATIVES

Those who have studied the char
acter of savage life are all struck by
its deadly conservatism, its need
ness restraints on the freedom OF
the individual. and its hopeless rou-
tine. Man, like plants and animals
in general, tends to go on from gen.
Grafton to generation living as
nearly may be the life of his fore
bears. Changes have TO be forced
upon him by hard experience, and he
is ever prone to find excuses for
slipping back into older habits. for
these are likely to be simpler, less
critical, more spontaneous - more
closely akin, in short, to his animal
and primitive promptings. One who
prides himself today on his con-
servatism, on the ground that man
is naturally an anarchic and dis
orderly creature who is held, in
check by the far-seeing Tory, is al
most exactly reversing the truth.
MsDkind is conservative by nature
and generates restraints on himself
and obstacles to change which have
served to keep him in a state. of
savagery during almost his Whose
existence on the earth, and which
still perpetuate all sorts of primitive
barbarism in modern society. The
conservative ION principle" is thers-
fore most Enthusiastically primitive
person in his attitude. His only ad-
vance beyond the savage mood lies
in the specious reasons he is abie
to advance for remaining of the
same mind. What We vaguely call

due to altogether exceptional and
unprecedented circumstances.-J. H.

New York, Oct. 26.-No better evil
dence of the non-enforcement of
the Volstead law in New York City
can be presented than the arrest
from time to time of fake dry
6gents' who have been going from
saloon TO saloon impersonating
Federal officers and seizing wet
goods. Three of these imposters
were caught red handed yesterday
in the Bronx, after they had visited
two gin mills and demanded hush
money"
A tempest at police headquarters
has been created by Commissioner
Enright's demand of Third Deputy
Commissioner Faurot for the resig-
nation of Charles w. Hunt. who was
secretary to Faurot. Hunt insists
that he be reinstated, else Il will
tell the people of the five boroughs
just what is the matter with the
police department"
That is exactly what residents
would like much to know, for never
in the history of Gotham has there
been such an epidemic of crime as
now is raging here. The streets,
after dark, are no longer safe for
pedestrians, and the wave of burg
laries rolling over the city is un-
precedented. There has been talk
of a legislative inquiry into the
matter.
French pastry shnns have opened
up all over New York like bees on
a honeysuckle vine. Most of the
cross streets between Fourteenth
and SiNty-fifth streets, and off
broadway all the way north to
Fort Washington, have their quota
of petite palaces where sweets are
sold. This is a development of since
the war. 1t is explained as one of
the interesting outcomes of the
great overseas jaunt of the "2.0OO,-

new tastes. The coming in Of pro-

GERMAN TOYS AGAIN
POPULAR IN ENGLAND

German-made goods again are ar
riving at Leeds. England, on a con-
siderable scale and dealers are
stocking them for the Christmas
season.
Toys, fancy goods and cheap
clocks form the principal German
imports. German competition is be.
ing felt in the toy lire. as this in
dustry came into being in England
during the war, and had developed
good market in the absence of
continental competition. Many OF
the smaller British concerns are
closing down.
Average German prices are about
100 per cent over prewar figures,
the German toymakers not selling
under the British manufacturers.
But the wholesalers say that the
retailers are re-demaRding the most
attractive goods, regardless OF
whence they come, and the German
toys easily outsell the British.

ported, is about to ask the British

The British agreement provides for national

DIRECTOR VOICES PROTEST.
To the Editor, The Washington, Herald:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
This mornings Herald contains
some falsehoods concerning the
writer. Believing that you wish TO
publish only truthful accounts. I
wish to relate facts that your in
formant has distorted. Whoever
your informant was perhaps misun-
Iderstood, so 1 am not blaming him
for the errors.
Your paper states that attempted
some time ago to go on a hunger
strike. but later decided to eat VOL
UNFAIRLY rather than submit to forci-
BILE feeding. The facts are that. on
July IL / went on a liberty OF death
hunger strike while confined in the
Fort Douglas prison, and / have
been on the hunger strike ever since.
Today is the 1O6th day of the strike.
| l am still refusing food and / will
continue to refuse it. The authori-
ties allowed me to go without food
for thirteen days, and. since that
time. with only a few exceptions,
they have forcibly fed me daily. On
NY -clH NdS sent 10 lHe
asylum at st. Elizabeth's, pro-
nOunced sane by the doctors in
charge of this institution.
Your paper states that the record
shows that, after repeated acts of
insubordination. had, prior to trial
by court martial, circulated a guam
tity of alleged radical literature. the
+, object of which was to hinder the
governments war preparations. The
record shows that l was charged
with disrespect toward an officer but
acquitted of the charge. Moreover.
as the record shows, the only litera-
ture distributed was a few copies of
letter to President Wilson, in
which letter l told the President
that I would not kill: too, the rec
ord shows that, this letter was not
given 10 enlisted men but was given
only to a few conscientious objectorS
who had for months previously re-
fused to accept any kind of service.
My effort to get writ of habeas
corpus is not for the purpose of
avoiding the continuance of this
hunger strike. Nearly two years
ago l made the first application for
a writ Of habeas corpus, and al
though .hampered by the authorities
in numerous ways, l intend to push
the matter to the highest court in
the land. A few months before go
ing on the hunger strike. the Fort
Douglas prison officials intercepted
a registered letter to my attorney
in Washington and prevented pro-
ceedings on the habeas corpus. 1
am illegally held, and if the courts
had the courage to face the facts
they would so decide.
Will you do me the favor of pub
fishing this letter to the end that
the wrong done to me by the item
in this mornings Herald may be
rectified2 Thanking you, l am,
Very truly yours.
