Methodist Bishop Cites Wet

BY the Associated Press,

DETROIT. December 4.-The wet"
victory in Ontario should have the
effect Of arousing American drys to
the realization that they have a pow
erful and resourceful foe, Bishop
Thomas Nicholson Of the Detroit area
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
and national president Of the Anti.
Saloon League Of America, in com.
menting upon the Conservative vic
tory in the provincial election last
Wednesday.
The result Of the election, Bishop
Nicholson said. was the s.iarpest
challenge yet received by American
prohibition.
"The Ferguson victory" he said,
is a clean-cut challenge to our en-.
forcement. especially in Michigan.
For the first time border States in
this region will have an opportunity
to observe both experiments in close
comparison, or competition would per.
haps be the better word. We are not
afraid. In fact. we welcome the op.
portunity to compare notes with Can.

Bishop Nicholson declared the I'll.

1.-The Ontario organizations that
fought so long for prohibition wither'

jective was attained" he continued.
"They under-estimated the forces
against them. Prohibition organiza-
tons in this country may well take
a lesson from the Canadian situation
and maintain unimpaired vigilance.
Enactment of a law Is only half OF
the victory"
AS to the advantages of prohibition,
Bishop Nicholson said: "The State
of Kansas. where they have had pro-
hibition for nearly so years, bears In
dutiable evidence to its remarkable
benefits when enforced. Last year

Fish and Game
Dept. COrrects Two
Misleading Items

The attention of the department
OF inland fisheries and game has
been called to newspaper items re-
Gently published regarding the OPP
ening of the fishing season in which
one or two statements are mislead-
ing.
In order that the public may not
be misinformed, the department
wishes to correct the statement
which appeared in one item-to the
effect that black bass taken previous
to June 20 while lawfully trolling
for landlocked salmon or trout may
be lawfully kept. While this is true
in many lakes and ponds it does
not apply to any of the lakes in the
famous Belgrade Chain, so-called
(Great, Long, East. North, Ellis. Nc
Graw, or Snow Ponds) or in Lake
kezar, or upper Kezar Pond in Low
ell, or in Lake Pennesseewassee in
Norway in Oxford County. These
being prominent bass waters, the
residents interested therein had an
exception made of these important
waters when the law was passed by
the Legislature.
The full text of the law reads as
follows:
provided. that any ped
son who catches white perch Cor
a black bass, except in Great, Long,
East. North, Ellis, McGraw, or Snow
Ponds, said ponds being part of the
Belgrade Chain of Lakes, so-called,
in Kennebec and Somerset Counties,
or in Lake KeZar, or upper Kezar
Pond. so-called, or in Lake Pennies
seewassee, in the County of OXford)
while lawfully trolling, in good faith
for landlocked salmon. trout, or
togue, during closed season on white
perch and black bass may lawfully
keep the same. but no person shall
in any one day keep more than six
white perch and two black bass SO
caught; provided, further, that no
party or the occupants OF any one
boat, canoe, raft or ether vessel or
conveyance shall keep more than
six white perch and four black bass
so caught in any one day.
Another item states. when re-
ferring to the opening of the season
in the spring. under the general law
that "As soon as the ice breaks away
from the shores. so that there is a
: considerable area of open water, II
! Is legal to fish"
