FISHING RESORTS
 NEAR HOME
Nevada County Has Some Excellent Places
 for lnduIsine in Popular Sport

Most of us have known of those great fishing trips which parties Of Prescott people some times take during the fishing season to the lakes of Fulton. to the bayouS of Louisiana or to the mountain streams of Pike county for weeks good fishing. Of course the folks at home make the necessary preparations to take care of the fish on the re- turn of the party and have many of the neighbors anticipating at least one treat. It generaly,hap- pens that no fish spoil, though the ice be out. It is frequently the case that there are none to spoil. If fishing parties at these popular resorts catch what they can consume while .. they are catching them, thep call it good luck" and return home appar- ently well contented.
 It is fact that many times, better luck can be had within a few miles of home than is often had at the SO-called fine fishing places. Long years ago, there were many small streams near Prescott which were noted for being good places for the angler to while the hours away. Terre Rouge commonly known as the Carouse, was popular little stream. Many of the smaller streams in all directions were popular and are yet in the earlier part of the season for small par ties who are out only for the af- ternoon. These streams have been so badly abused however, l that they are not now considered
The Prescott daily news., 1907-05-18

mosquitoes and other conditions render the sport much less en joyable than in nspring or autumn. Many people look upon spring as the only real good fishing time. This is a mistake. There is no month of the year perhaps bet ter suited to general fishing in this locality than the month of October. Then it is that the wary trout, feeling the first slight chill in the waters, puts more life into his movement, strikes with more vigor and makes better dish after he IS caught.
 There are of course, better resorts than we have at home. There is only one place that is the best place to fish and there are entirely too many opinions as to where this place really is. Suffice it to say that we have some good places. They do not lack for popularity and if these warm sunshiny days continue they will be discussed by every tongue before many days.

 At this season of the year fish ing for trout and white perch is generally good at Grassy Lake, Boughton township, and in the smaller lakes and streams along the Little Missouri River in up per Redland.

LAEOLLETTE S PLAN WOULD HAVE AVERT
ED PANIC.

The financial panic that has been
brought about by the reckless spec
ulation and by the promoters of
high finance methods in New York
is the most potent and powerful
argument in favor of Sena tor La
Follette's plan of limiting the
amount of the bonds and stock of
all corporations doing an interstate
business to the actual value of their
property.
When the Senator offered an
amendment embodying this idea
to the Hepburn bill in the senate,
il was rejected by that body, re-
ceiving but six votes. If it had be-
come law at that time, it would
have prevented the issuing Of mil
lions and millions of dollars worth
of stock during the past eighteen
months that has been based not on
the cost value of the property, but
upon its alleged earnings. If there
had not been the reckless flooding
of the country with this watered
stock during the last year this pan
ic would not have occurred.-Man-
haitian Republic, Rep.

Remember, please, that it is

PRETTY SENTIMENTS. y

The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
"The old line democrats, and the
greater number of those who are
young and spirited in the fight, will
not thank him (Mr. Bryan)for COM
pliments to Theodore Roosevelt
who is the leader in those things
which are arousing democrats from
their dormancv. Pretty sentiments
over the party garden wall do very
well under exceptional circum-
stances, but they are only draw
backs when a great battle is at
hand"
The pretty sentiments to which
the Enquirer refers was a statement
from Mr.. Bryan as follows: 81 no.
tice that one of the officers of a
bank that closed its doors yestef-
day attributes it to the president
That is not the reason. Don't
blame the sheriff but blame the
horsethief. Don't blame the Off
Gals who make and enforce the
laws, but blame the criminals who
make the laws necessary. Blame
the INSCRIPTIONS fnanciers who
have piled up predatory wealth and
exploited a whole nation"
Mr.. Bryan is quite willing to
trust"old line democrat" and young
line democrats and plain ordinary
zone gallus democrats to sym
pathize with any protest made by
an American citizen when a coterie
of financial tricksters undertake to
charge the president of the United
States with responsibility for re-
suits growing out of their own evil
dOing.-CCmmoner.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1907-11-27

The Financial Age, New York
publication, has this to say concern
ing the origin of the financial diff
Culties: "The commencement of
the trouble in New York City can
be directly traced to the cupidity
of a few rich directors who con-
trolled banks. We are not refer.
ring to the Heinzes, or the Morses,
or the Thomases, but to the men
who deliberately sold out their de-
positors by disposlng of their stock
to lot of plungers and wreckers
for the few thousand dollars they
received above the market value of
their holdings, with a full knowl.
edge of the caliber of the men to
whom they were making the sale.
They are the men who should be
held responsible for the present
trouble. 1t may be said that a bank
director has the same right to make
money as any one else. True, but
he has no right to make money by
jeopardizing the money of the de-
positors who, because of their con-
fidence in him, have caused his
stock to be worth so much more
than he paid for it. His moral
duty remains and should be placed
above any business Cupidity."
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1907-11-27

The Denver News gives food for
serious thought when it says: "The
present tariff is one of the rankest
abuses and absurdities that anv
civilized nation ever long endured.
1t lays maximum of burdens on
the consumers of imported goods,
with very nearly a minimum of
revenue to the government. 1t is
framed almost wholly in The inter
est of a small clique of manufac.
turers, whose already overg1own
fortunes are a public danger, and
who are least harmful when, as
with Carnegie, they draw their divi
dends from home to spend them
abroad. Then, at least, they are
not bulling and bearing stocks OF
Wall Street and producing condl
tons like the present. To call the
steel trust an infant industry is to
push even joke too far; to say
that the tariff on steel is for the
benefit of the wageworkers, when
labor alone is imported free, is a
rather CHASTITY farce. Audit is only
through the democratic party that
there is the slightest chance OF
Temedying this condition. The re
publican party is tied up with the
interests to an extent that makes
reform from that direction impos
sible. Roosevelt has faced the al
lied railroads, but he has not dared
to brave the wrath of the benef-
Charles of the tariff. Taft is care
full to tell us that while he .favors
tariff revision the revising must be
done by the same interests which
have given US thepresent monstros-
ity."
