There are thousan ands of foreigners
living in Southern France on extreme
ly small incomes. many of them re-
ceiving their remittanceS from home
in the form of small notes sent by
registered mail. The bootlegger makes
a list of these people and arranges to
change their home money as they
need French currency and at a higher
rate than is paid by the banks. His
second list of customers includes peo-
pie who are collecting foreign money

Mention of the book was made in
the debate in the Chamber or Depu-

originator of then income tax in

The bootlegger's price for a dollar
bill is sometimes as high as five points
above the market quotation. His
profit on a $5 bill is usually more
than Is francs. The poorer classes,
who constitute his clientele, are willing
to pay these prices rather than go
through the fermality necessary to
buying foreign currency in bank.

explosion came. His clothing ignited
in the burst Of flames but neglecting
this because of the realization of
possible danger to all the apartment

Mrs. Weaver and the neighbors put
out the flames and treated the burns

Commission Will
Not Change Decision
Regarding Dempsey

New York, July 29.-P) The
state athletic commission today by
vote of TO / refused to recon-
slider its stand in opposition to hold
ing the Dempsey Tunney heavy
weight championship matches in
New York.
Commissioner Muldoon proposed
reconsideration of the question with
view to permitting Tex Richard to
promote the Dempsey Tunney
match at the Yankee Stadium, but
this was tabled" on a motion sup.
ported by the other two members Of
the board Commissioners Farley
and Brewer.
This action was interpreted as re-
moving the last prospect that the
barrier AGAINST the Dempsey Tun-
ney match in this state would be
lifted and strengthening the likeli-
hood that the fight would go to Chi
cago. where Richard has been ne
gotiating with financial interests for
several days.
BY this action the board upheld
its original stand that Dempsey
must meet Harry Wills, negro chal-
lenger. before he boxed anyone else
in this state.
The commission adopted a rule
making it necessary for radio an
nouncers to obtain permission from
the commission before broadcasting
fights from ringsides.
This does not affect announcers
broadcasting matches from station
studios.

Upon the platform written by one
OF the ma jor political parties In the
state OF Maine this present year II
would be possible for candidates
without violating their party pledge
to vote for the repeal of every tenn
perance measure in the Statutes and
Constitution of the state and ma ton
at the present time. This is upon
what seems the arranted assump-
ton that a pledge to enforce is not
a pledge against modification or re-
peal especially when the pledge is
promised upon respect for law rather
than belief in temperance.
1t is a matter of profound eratifi
cation and | believe of tremendous
service TO the temperance cause that
the Republican Platform in this staff,
developed under the leadership Of
Hon Percival P. Baxter, as Chair
man on the Committee on Resolu-
tions, contained an unequivocal and
ringing declaration as to the position
of the Republican Party in the
state of Maine upon this score.
No candidate of the Republican
Party in the State of Maine withou.
violation of his party pledge can
permit the slightest modification OF
existing temperance legislat don IN
state or nation. That is the issue
which in this decade must be faced
and the more quickly this is recog
nized by the temperance forces of
the country the more quickly will the
lines be drawn to prevent modifica-
ton of this fundamental law.
There are not lacking honest but
misguided citizens in public and pri
vate life who insist it is ridiculous
to talk of modifica ton of this law
and that there is no prospect of its
ever being brought to pass. II that
is the case there can certainly be no
objection to outright pledges upon
that score.
The citizens Of Maine interested in
this question may read with deep
satisfaction the Republican Plat
form written by my predecessor for
this administration in accordance
with the historic. record of our party
in this State-when it says:
I'VE are proud of the fact that our
State was the pioneer prohibitory
Stat Of the Union. We reaffirm our
ton cause a s expressed in the Eigh-
teenth Amendment and laws supple
mental thereto. and go on record as
opposing all attempt to- repeal or
weaken them.
I'VE pledge our party to strict, i'm
partial and aggressive enforcement
of these as well as of other laws,
both State end national"

Justices in opining to that and relat-
ed inquiries. stated the law as it
was conceived by them to be true
and right and thus pointed the way
that the Governor followed. Opinion
of Justices, 125 Maine, 1873 Atlantic,
265.
Opinions rendered upon call are
termed advisory, meaning that they
are iDconclusive upon the liberty and
upon the property OF which no man
can be deprived without due process
of law, but as between the State and
her sheriff. regardless of the rule
where parties are at suit. the sheriff
has neither liberty nor property in
an incumbency from which he may
he sooner removed" The removal of
a sheriff is not to grant relief to any
one injured by the recreancy or in

of charge but wholly for the public
good, after the manner defined by the
organic law itself. as that law stands

tuted power.
The clearer a thing is the more
difficult it is to find any express
authority or any dictum exactly to

ing. In 1879, an election was held in
Maine and the rights of the persons
voted for were depending upon the
votes cast. Various doubts arose
concerning the true construction of
the constitution and the statutes,
whereon he Governor, by his Con-
stitutional perogative, asked for an
opinion on propounded questions. The
provisions of the Constitution were
set forth and construed and at once
strife stopped jostling the public
peace. Speaking afterward the Jus
tees said that that opinion was OBJ
tanned in one of the modes afforded
by the Constitution for an author
tive determination of, important
questions of law" 20 Maine, o83

interrogatories. made an opinion

Brewster in dealing with Sheriff
Cummings.
Although the departments of our
State Government are distinct. they
are not altogether independent or
one another: when the executive ana
judicial departments function by
constitutional mandate, in respect to
the same concern, they must move or
act in the harmony of the declared
law. or government will cease.
