other battlefells of the Revolution or the
Confederate War. The question naturally
arises, where is this thing to stop! II
every spot where a famous event occurred
is to be made national park the coun-
try will be dotted over with them as
thickly as the Spanish calendar is with
holidays.
Speaking OF holidays we are moved to
add that halt should be called in their
multiplication we'll as in the rnuiupli-
cation Of national parks. It is true that
a new holiday does not directly take
money from the public treasury. while
the establishment of a national park al
ways calls for appropriation, but the
difference is rather apparent than real.
On national holidays Government officials
are released from the obligation to per-
form the labor for which thev ere paid
and to that extent the Government is
paying out something for nothing. Be
sides. the general observance OF a national
holiday interrupts the work OF many thou
sands OF producers and to that extent di-
minishes the aggregate Of the annual ont
put and reduces the wealth of the country.
1t has often been observed that the multi
plication of holidays indicates national
decadence rather than national progress.

Oystcrmen Uneasy.

Considerable fear among the oystermen
exists that the Constitutional Convention
NAV undertake the adoption Of measures
to virtually turn our oyster rocks out TO
the world. Much depends upon the repre-
sentat!on that the Tidewater section has
in the convention. If we are ably repre-
sented by men in whom that august body
hr:, confidence az to a knowledge or the
oyster question and its interests to the
people and State, there Is little doubt
that the basic principles Of protection VIII
be interfered with.
What we need now are even more strln-
gent laws in order to perpetuate the oys-
ter industry In Virginia. Too much OF the
natural bottom is now being let out Our
oystermen say that if the present whole
sale renting out of lands and bottoms
heretofore known us natural grounds con-
tinues that the seed-oystermen will soon
have no place to catch this stock. This
is becoming a crying shame and demands
early attention.
About the only mode Of relief and pro-
lection now practicable, that the natural
rocks and bottoms may recuperate. Is the
adoption of q Gull law, Il strict patrol Oh
the waters in closed season and sue
cessfu enforcement of the law prohibiting
plants from being carried out OF the
