such proportions in the Navy Department
that IL has been decided to have an in

who entertain the theory that the best

newspaper advertisements. on the very
reasonable argument that men who fail

not apt TO be desirable IN any capacity.

BRYANs SILVER CAMPAIGN.
A Conservative Southern Paper on
His Past and Present Views.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
In this year of grace, all Democrats ex-
cept Mr.. Bryan seem to have forgotten
1896. its errors and its sorrows. but ever
lastingiy the Nebraskan harks back 10 il.
The country has learned to estimate him
highly in spite Of his early blunders, and
he IS conspicu0usly popular because the
purity Of his motives is not questioned at
"a time when nearly all the prominent
leaders in both parties are weakened by
associations with Interests" under sus-
picion. Mr.. Bryan is none too radical for
the time. HIS advocacy of governmental
ownership Of railroads. proclaimed on his
return from Europe only a few months
ago, greeted at the time with derision by
the conservative press. seems no longer
pTep0sterous In view OF the apparent ap-
peal OF railroad owners 20 the President
for protection against inimical legislation
by the States. Certainly government
ownership is not To be laughed al when
the railroads themselves seek 10 become
the Federal governments wards. But Nh
Bryan's programme in 1896 was not SO
much radical as it was fiighty. It was the
exaggeration Of a detail by which the
Importance and dignity Of large and
worthy principles were ObscuTed, and the
less said about it now the better.
It is melancholy that the Democrat still
so freely acclaimed as the national leader
should harp upon the past, as he did in
Massachusetts last week.

A chaIiee for the Gods.

Ii is not surprising to learn that Sena-

manded that he be provided with a gourd
for use in his committee room at the Cap

He knows that water slipped from a
gourd has a sweetness all its own-mateh-

wisely decides to have one ever handy in

kindred fowls; perhaps including. for

Little Bobby wrote an essay on bees, as
follows: The bee is a queer sort Of an
insect that gives people a few points that
they don't appreciate. The queen bee
bosses the hive. just like ma bosses our

Cleverness is one Of the attributes nee

Is THE sHAD DOoMEDi
Necessity II Restrictive Laws 40 Pre-
vent Extinction of that Fish.


From the New lcsk Globe.
The capture q the pioneer shad Of the
1907 spring run IN the Hudson brings to
mind again the warnings Of our piscian
experts that this tasty morsel from the
deep" is doomed to early extinction un-
less some reform is undertaken in the
time and place when and where it IS net
ted.
The growing popularity Of ''shad roe is
chiefly blamed for this danger Of extinc-
tion. The large demand for the eggs re-
suits in the slaughter Of millions and
billions of embryo shad. as well as their
mothers. The regular replenishing Of the
sea stock Of adults, which would nor
mally occur each year If the adult fish
were allowed to attain the upper reaches
Of the river, IS very largely prevented BY
the capture Of the mothers on their way
upstream.
Unless this method Of fishing is stopped.

systematic and regular habits of laying.
the time is not far distant, declares Prof.
J. ". Titeomh, in charge OF the Matching
service Of the United States Fish Com
mission, when shad Will be so scarce in
the Atlantic rivers as to become deIicacies
only obtainable for the tables OF the rich.
The professor urges that the shad be
protected by law al least during one OF
their annual runs" The Washington
Bureau Of Fisheries has Matching stations
along the Atlantic coast, with facilities
for Matching and Hberating 3o0,O00000 fry
per annum. Owing to the scarcity Of the
ish IL was unable to obtain more than
45, ,000. 600 last year.
What may be done by restrictive laws is
indicated by experience on the Pacific
coast. The streams IN California have
been stocked with shad and strict laws
for their protection enacted. AS a result
the fish are rapidly increasing. Another
cause contributing in no small degree
toward the decrease Of food fishes in ouI
coastal rivers Is the growing pollution OF
their water Every year they are becom-
ing more like open sewers. and in several
cases are already sufficiently foul 70 rem
der oyster beds unsafe and to drive away
