Fisherman's Luck,

Speaking of fishing, If 'hermen's
luck" ''lucky fishermen" etc, what
does it all mean anyhow? TO say
man IS Il lucky fisherman is merely to
admit his superiority as Il fisherman
over other fishermen. The fish are in
the water We all have the same chance
to get them. yet some 'lIcky fisher
men, always come home with their
fish boxes full and the other fellow
gets nothing. In the pHrlance of the
fisherman, the word luck" really
means Knowledge" The lucky fish
erman," you will find, knows the rock
holes where the grouper turks; he
knows the channels in and about the
patches and passes where the amber
jacks and barracuda live; he knows
where and how to find and capture the
silver mullet for bait; he knows how
to bait his hooks for different fish as
occasion may require; he knows the
style of hook to use for every kind of
fish; he is a judge of what style of
fishing to do under certain conditions
of wind and weather and, above all,
he is untiring in his efforts to use all
of his knowledge when he is out for

VIGOROUSLY Inadequate, AID "A the sec
ond place, while the rates n the other
cities cover the entire cost Of lighting,
il Chicago they include only Il fraction
of the cost.
Perhaps the most misleading feature
of the report is its comparison of the
alleged cost" of the municipal lights
with the rates charged by the private
company with which the city contracts
for IiG of its lamps. These are III the
outskirts of the city, where the cost of
maintaining them is very high OH &C
count of their long distance from the
generating station AMI their remote
ness from each other That IS why the
city contracts for them. Yet the report
assumes that the company would
charge just rs high rate if it had the
contract for all the lights. This as
sumption is not only manifcStly absurd,
but is directly contrary to the facts, as
one of the companies offered Il reduc
ton of more than one-quarter Of its
contract price if it were given the en-
tire lighting contract.
In making comparisons the quality
of the service is an important consid.

at Il low cost, while the facts are that
its service IS poor end that the cost Is
much higher than if the lights were

The report admits that "thcc" is some

WAS NOT A GREAT SURPRISE
TRENCH DECREE INCREASING
DUTIES ON PORTO RICAN COFFEE.
May Be Precursor of Similar Attacks
Throughout Continental Europe
Upon American Trade.

Although notice of the issue yesterday
in Paris of decree imposing the maxi
mum duties on coffees imported from the
United States and Porto Rico has not yet
reached the State Department, the officials
were fully prepared for some such action,
having been informed in the course of cor
respondence which has been going OH for
the past six months that it was contem-
plated. The reason for the issue of the
decree is said to be the dissatisfaction of
the French government at the failure of
the United States Senate to act upon the
frehch reciprocity treaty which has been
pending before that body for several years.
ADDED to this, it is said, is suspicion on
the part of the French government that
the negotiations now in progress between
the United states and Germany relative to
the tariH upon American goods imported
INTO Germany conceal some advantage to
De bestowed upon German trade with the
hlted States i'll which French trade is not
to share NV
MS decree is regarded as the beginning
Vi systematic effort to bring such pres
sure to bear upon the American Congress,
through the imposition of restrictions upon
the American export trade as will force
the whole subject of reciprocity upon it's
attention at the beginning of the next ses-
sion
The State Department officials fear that
TINS French action is but the precursor of
similar attacks upon American trade by
other nations of continental Europe No
serious damage is expected to result TO
American trade from this latest decree be-
cause there is little traffic in coffee at any
tlme. but it is feared that the effect will
be disastrous to Porto Rico, which at pres-
ent finds almost its only market in France
ior ITS coffee. now that the Spanish mar
het Is closed by excessive duties.
