Protecting the Game Fish.

The proposition of the amateur fishermen
of Washington and vicinity to seine the
canal this winter as a means of helping to
restock the Potomac with bass is worthy
of the cooperation of the authorities and
public spirited citizens not only OF the Dis
trict. but of the states of Maryland Vir-
ginia and West Virginia, whose shores are
washed by the river. The Potomac Is con-
sidered by many sportsmen and ichthYolo-
gists Cne of the finest fishing streams in
the world. and the bass, which normally
abJrnds in it's waters, Is one of the most
desirable of game fish. The country
through which the Potomac flows is so
formed TO create ideal conditions for the
bree ding of these fish and for their capture
by the methods approved by the true fol-
lowers of Walton. At the same time op-
portCnity is offered for the employment of
Illegal methods and so well has this chance
been cultivated in the past that there is
danger that the Potomac will soon be made
worthless in this regard. The same trouble
has been experienced in the waters below
the falls with the shad and only the most
stringent provisions of law have resulted
IL ayerting the danger that once impendej
Wat the shad would be entirely driven
from these waters.
The adoption of a closed season law by
the states of Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia is now reasonably certain. The
cooperation of these three states on ex-
actly similar lines being necessary. the
legislatures of Virginia and Maryland have
passed stringent law conditional upon
Its passage as well by the West Virginia
legislature, and this 1t is understood is now
practically assured. There Is still another
evil and that is the pollution of the stream
by pulp mills and dye works along the up
per stretches OF the river. This is a menace
TO human health as well as to the life of The
fish and ought to be easy of abatement.
Doubtless when the fishermen have sue
eeeded In securing closed season law
from all three of the states they will turn
their attention to these establishments and
their success in the past in all their under
iaklngs warrants the belief that they will
not fail on that line.

The Kentucky Senatorship.

Gov Bradley has put out another signed
statement respecting the Kentucky senator
ship This Is the third within a fortnight
The effect of the series Is to confuse the
matter in the public mind
The question at issue is whether or not
he will all the legislature together I'm extra
session to perform among other things the
act OF choosing successor to Mr. Black
Durn- In the governors first statement he
intimated pretty broadly that no call for
an extra session would be issued. but that
he would make an appointment after the
4th OF March. when Mr. Blackburn's COM
mission will expire. This raised quite a stir
and evoked some strong protests from lead
ing republicans of national reputation It
was argued that an appointment In sucb
circums tances would not be ratified by the
Senate. Gov. Pradley then announced that
an extra session would be called, but In his
own time. and now he argues briefly the
right of sppoi1 tment- The record I'D to
date makes it difficult to determine lust
what the governor will finally decide to do.

with most chilling receJ,ti1n by .he silver
men both sides of the riamber, while
General Palmer is repr=seu d as sitting

isolation. His democratic associates passed
by without even nod of recognition.
Some mere trifie has been magn:fied to
make this picture. 1t has TO substantial
bass. The usual greetings were exchanged
in the Senate opening day. There was
no effusiveness. There never is any effh-
siveness in that body. But there was no
lack of senatorial dignity or courtesy. No
body suffered for any opinion he enter

presidential campaign No "cut direct
was given by anybody to anybody. Sena-
tors shook hands very generally, and asked
and answered about health and so forth.
Nobody showed dispos. ton to reopen any
feature of the campaign.
On Monday last. week after the opening
OF the session, Mr. Teller. who had been
detained at home. appeared IN his seat for
the first time. His reception by Senators of
all parties was very hearty. Those from
whom he parted political company last
June showed not the slightest change in
their manner toward him. but greeted him
as warmly as any of those with whom he
has since been affilieting. And naturally
enough. Mr. Teller is a man of conviction
and exercised only his privileges last sum

Withholding his hand. or giving him a stony
stare Such a proceeding would not have
made Mr. Teller uncomfortable but the
other man ridiculous.

A Bill That ShOuld rnss.

Congress should give prompt attention to
the bill just submitted by the Commission
ers from the Health Officer for the pre-
vention of dsease-communication through
the milk supply. Nothing of this sort in

surrounding the community, can safely be
neglected, especially il its trial involves no
danger or hardships. The main feature of
II is bill is tie proposition to tag all the
healthy cows from which milk is supplied
for use in the District and to put a penalty
on the sale of milk from other than tagged
animals. OF course this law cannot be
made to apply directly to the dairy farmers
of Maryland and Virginia, whose cows are
beyond the Jurisdiction of the District
Health Officer, but they are reached in
what seems practical manner by the
stipulation that permits for the sale of milk
sian be issued only to those dealers who
offer for sale the milk of tagged cows.
Ihls will take from the dairymen of the
reighboring states who refuse to permit
the local inspectors to examine and tag
their animals the very remunerative
market offered by the District as long as
they stand upcn their legal rights and it
