were served illegally at that date as witness the 

 name under which they were offered; but out of a 

 hundred of those gentlemen, each of whom ate his 

 quail, I did not hear one word of protest or even of 

 comment. This industrial waste was accepted by 

 all those able bankers as a matter of course. 



At a banquet a year ago in one of the greatest 

 hotels in Chicago six hundred quail were served, it 

 was alleged, illegally. At that banquet six hundred 

 of the best business men of Chicago sat down. At 

 another banquet in that same hotel, another gather- 

 ing of good business men, there were five hundred 

 alleged illegal quail served. And yet we ask why 

 our game is disappearing ! It is because we are not 

 business men, even when we banquet in that dis- 

 guise. 



Further this deponent saith not. Our own great- 

 game fields lie reaped but not resown. That is 

 waste ! That is not being forehanded. That is ruin.
