HOW THE PUBLIC FEELS ABOUT THE
 FISHING QUESTION.
 July l has come. Now is the time the summer visitors and what few na- tives there are around Waramaug lake must keep a weather eye open for our special fish protector. All the spring since the ice left the lake, fishermen from New Milford and near by can be seen and it is no trick to find fish be- ing dressed and in ice boxes, although the season is supposed to be closed. You can also see parties fishing open ly in boats, who when asked what they were doing, reply, "Fishing, be- cause have a right to-" Talk about trusts! The honest farmer and na- tives, who never studied the different kinds of fish, may happen to go fishing and hook small bass. For this they are apt to get introduced to the spe. cial fish protector, then to the Warren justice, for the tune of S35 to $50. Look at the past, where the hotels were filled to the limit, then look at the eight-year-old child at the Loom arwick, last season, being carried to Warren to pay fine, the old North vile minister who knew nothing of the fish question and who did not have the required funds to pay his fine, but friends paid it for him and so saved him from jail. Most people want to comply with the law and why not give the innocent party who does not know the law warning first, and if caught again let them pay the pen atty. At any rate, use them as well as those that do fish out of season. Go blind when children or old people have accidentally caught a bass. If in the two years past, parties who make illegal fishing their business had been caught, there would be nothing to say. But on the contrary, a minis ter, an eight-year-old child, partial ly blind man from Washington, 8 young man from New Milford, and the late MT Cummings, G. A. R. man from Lanesville, who read the eight-inch law upon tree at the lakeside before going fishing, but did not know it had been changed to 10 inches, as it was not posted, came in with eight-inch bass. Was the spe- cial law made to catch such unof- lending citizens as these? Or was it made for the man with the nets, who works nights and early mornings? In two years, not one of these have been landed. There are few who do not break some one of the laws nowadays, I with autos, Sunday sports, and in lots of other ways. Last season man was arrested for trying to shoot another He got S7 and costs and his revolver back. But it costs $35 to catch fish under size. Compare the two. Autos exceed the speed limit, or in othe1 words go as fast as the machine will go, and if you are not lucky enough tt own one, you are obliged to walk o1 take to the woods. A little law would do this matter good, or special pro
 tector would be better. Best way il to use people as you would have then use you. Be fair and have considera
 tion for others. Let the man who doe'
 not break some law have his picture

Should be RecaIled.

We are not surprised that President
Roosevelt is said to be Disguised with
the first result of the attempt to bring
about a better understanding of Ameri-
can affairs in Germany through the es-
tablishment of the Roosevelt professor
ship at the University of Berlin. The
President has every reason to be dis
pleased with the remarks of Professor
Burgess in disparagement of the Monroe
Doctrine and the great American princi-
pie of Protection. These are not anti
quated, as the American professor as
sumes, and they will not be played out
as long as Republican President re.
mains at the head of the nation. If
Professor Burgess, in his anxiety to
please the Germans, abandoned the in
terests of the American people, and
turned his back on the President him
self, he demonstrated not only his lack
of appreciation of the dignity of the
place to which he has been appointed,
but also his lack of common sense. I'm
less he can explain. his early recall from
his new post of duty would be rebuke
justly administered 'Leslie's Weekly"

so extraordinary swindle that it will
| doubles become historic. A woman,
Nine. Therese Humbert, was at the
head of this. She was born on small
farm near Toulouse. She married the
son of senator who was supposed to
inherit a large fortune. On the
strength of this she began to borrow
small sums of money whenever she
was in difficulty. But the story was
disproved and she found herself deep
ly in debt 1t was then that she in
vented her famous story of the Craw-
ford millions. She stated that in 1877

the hands of Havre lawyer and gave
him power to act as his notary. AS a
result the will was taken into court.
This was part of the scheme of the
Humberts-a scheme to legalize the
fiction. The money being tied up, it
was natural that the Humberts should
be forced to borrow. And borrow
they did.

tected her creditors by her own per-
sonal note Endorsed by Maria, so that
whichever way the ultimate decision

secured. So long as this ultimate de.
cision could be deferred SO long the
game could be successfully played.

these bonds or examine more closely

lean, who, although the possessor of a
fortune Of $20,600,000, excited no at.
tention in his native land; in fact, who
seemed to be entirely unknown.
1t may be that they did investigate,
and, lacking sufficient data to probe
the matter to the bottom, were unable
to go beyond the records of the French
courts; or, satisfied by the legal steps
which had been taken that such a
legacy did actually exist, they rested
in the secure belief that their loans

1t became necessary to proceed
along other lines and to raise the cry

world. The safe contained only about
