Ii is passing strange how devotees of
the rod and lire will move from lake To
pond and from pond to stream, across
country. up hill and down dale, in their
mad attempts to find good fishing.
1t is likewise strange how easily men
are fooled by the tales which pass from
one person TO another narrating the al
legged fact that in such or such poni
fishermen have been so fortunate as TO
strike slathers of uneXampled luck in
their search for trout or landlocked
salmon. And these tales, While los
ing nothing in their transfer from lip
to lip, but rather gaining in their jour
neys. are swallowed by the poor guilt
bic ones, who go wild in their desire to
try their fortune in the pond where
fish are biting" And so it came to
pass n week ago that everybody
around Augusta had the story dinned
| into their ears that there was good fish
| ing at Liberty ponds, over in Waldo
county: that the landlocked salmon in
both Stevens and Georges lakes We're
| taking worms with lively gusto and
the sport of catching them was simply
grand. Two well known Augusta
piscatorial disciples opened their eyes
in amazement when they heard what
was being done in Liberty, 80 miles
away. They had had Indifferent LUCK
at Cobbossee and they yearned fol
''greener fields and pastures new" And
| they hitched up old Toothpick into the
beach wagon and started. The best
part of three days was used in the
trip and then they came home. All.
how sad they were when home was
reached. for they brought nary a fish
they hadn't even had a bite.

The Christmas Bribery Charges.

The Danish treaty was the result Of cir
cumstances over which this country had
very little control in the last analysis. Den
mark was anxious to sell the islands to
some other power. The United States was
not especially anxious to buy. having Sc
cured Porto Rico and naval station privi-
leges in Cuba since the bargain was origi-
nally proposed. But 1T could not permit
Denmark to sell to another European
power. In order to save the Monroe doc
trine and to avoid the charge of being the
dog in the West Indian manager the United
States was in effect forced to buy the is
lands. The chief issue in the transaction
related 10 the price and other terms of
the transfer. Such a situation assuredly
lent itself poorly to the manipulation of the
bribe-giver. Could the Danish negotiator
easily bride American legislators to In
fluence the Secretary of State to add to the
purchase price which the United States
was to pay?
The treaty was not opposed In the Senate
and it aroused only the slightest popular
interest. 1t is not matter for the House
to consider save in the perfunctory manner
in appropriating the purchase fund. If the
House chooses to ventilate Capt. Christ
mas allegations and so, for the time being,
boost his claims against the Danish govern
ment it is the privilege of that body. 1t does
not appear that there was need to bride any,
body or that anybody has been bribed. The
people will be interested in the outcome
mainly to the extent of watching just how
far this INSCRIPTIONS Dane. cashiered once

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-03-29

The Philadelphia Inquirer recently pub
lished a list of fourteen daily newspapers
In the United States that printed over 1000
columns Of advertisements during the
month of January last. The highest point
reached by any paper in the list as given
was 2167 columns; the lowest. 1,105. The
Washington Evening Star stands seventh
from the top, having printed 1859: but the
significant feature of it's showing is the fact
that all the other papers in the list but one
print a Sunday edition. In other words
with one exception alone. The Evening Star
prints more advertisements than any six
day-issue paper in the country, morning or
evening. and more than are printed by any
seven day paper, If the quantity printed in
the Sunday issue thereof be subtracted
from it's aggregate amount.
The explanation of this remarkable show
ing by The Star lies in the facts that its
advertisements are widely read, that they
produce desired results. and that business
men and advertisers generally know it.
Hence their liberal use of its columns.
