PROTECTION FOR OUR COAST FISH
ERIES.

Some views expressed by DR.. Louis
f. Foulks. Fish and Game Warden for
Ocean County, in regard to the para
mount importance of State regulation
and protection of the salt water fisheries
have been set forth from time to time
by the STAR, and it is gratifying to
see them entertained in an official
quarter,
Surely says DR.. Foulks, IAN In
dustry worth over three and a nalf mil
ions a year to the State should be
worth protecting at any reasonable
cost. . . The taking of food fish
from the ocean without any restriction
or limit is a crime against the future,
as many of us will live to see. Our en-
tire fish supply should be conserved end
looked after with a watchful eye, that
1t NAV not be destroyed simply to en-
rich a few"
There is at present no regulation or
protection for our salt water fisheries.
The business of taking the fish is al
most entirely in the hands Of nom
residents. who use pound nets or purse
nets, encircling the coast with the one
and sweeping the bays with the other.
nearly all the product going to the
New York market, to be handled by
the fish trust. The Fish and Game
Commission has been the vassal of the
men who are exploiting and running
the New Jersey fisheries, and has
helped to kill all legislative bills in
tended to protect the States interests.
Salt water fishing has nothing in
common with game and with lake and
river fishing. The latter is mere sport
and represents no commercial interests,
while hsh is taken from the ocean for
the market and in quantities to furnish
food for millions. The waters where
the fsh are found and where they
spawn are public property. There is
no private ownership in the ocean
though the pound-net fishermen virtu.

THE TWO HORNS OF LOCAL OPTION.

In a conference of leaders and AS
sembly candidates representing the
New Idea the decision was arrived at
10 commit the New Idea movement to
the principal of local option, not only
as to the prohibition of liquor selling
in the municipality, but also as to the
right of a majority of the voters of a
municipality to say whether liquor
shall be sold on a Sunday at certain
hours. There was no referendum on
the question. and naturally none could
be had. The leaders and candidates
laid down the principle for New Idea
adherents and they are at liberty to
adopt OF reject it. There will be more
to say IN the subject at a general
meeting to be held under New Idea
auspices on Wednesday night.
Whether it would be possible to get
a law on the statute books to embody
the two ideas of local option is a
question that lone of the men who
have adopted the principle would care
to answer. Looked at in the cold
light of experience and common sense,
the proposition seems to carry within
itself the elements for it's own defeat
in the Legislature.
The simon pure local optionist is a
modified prohibitionist and usually he
takes a religious view of the question.
Such a man will never consent to Sun
day selling. That part of the popula-
tion that resents sumptuary laws as an
infringement on personal liberty will on
the other hand, be reluctant to accept
the privilege of voting for the Sunday
SILICON in a municipality and at the
same time surrender to the prohibiting
principle.
This question of Bishops law en-
forcement must be met in the plat
forms of both of the regular political
organizations. Undoubtedly the Demo-
cratic convention platform will declare
for a modification of the law to the
extent of permitting a referendum in
a municipality as to the sale of liquor
at certains hours on a Sunday. The
principle advocated will be liberty, not
restriction. What the Republican State
platform will declare is hard TO say.
Whether 1t will adopt the new prin-
ciple of the New Idea Is problematical.
If 1t does the party may fall be-
tween the two stools unless there shall
be developed in the State a great ma
jority sentiment resolved to settle the
vexed excise question upon some basis
of compromise for the sake of taking
1t out of politics. Which, of course,
such a settlement never would do for
the question of license or nc license,
and of Sunday selling or no Sunday
selling, would come up regularly in
municipal elections and dominate all
other public questions.

ally assert it. A single-headed COM
mission should be created to have ex-
elusive charge of the salt water fisheries
with sufficient powers to regulate them
In the interest of the State and for the
benefit of all classes of fishermen alike.
The department can be made self-sup-
porting. As no New Jersey fishermen
can by law fish in New York waters,
so the destructive purse net of the
New York fishermen should be driven
out of New Jersey waters. where they
now make havoc. And the pound
nets should be so adjusted by law that
fish may be enabled to spawn and the
fry not be destroyed by The thousands,
as they now are.

THE DELINQUENT LEGISLATURE.

We are now in September, and both
houses of the Legislature should be
called into session during the present
week. A highly important investigation
of the State institutions Is now going
on and must be continued to the end,
but the investigation need not be inter-
fered with by legislative business. The
Senate special committee is preparing
to investigate official ~rottenness in Hud-
son County, but hat inquest can be
proceeded with just the same. The
point Is that, now that the summer
heats are over and the holiday seaso
waned. the members of the Legislature
should get together and attend to the
multiplied affairs that SO urgently de-
mand legislation.
1t is said hat members of the Legis-
lature who are looking for renomina-
ton are more interested in their politi-
cal fences at home than in the general
interests of the State. These men
should be judged by their constituents
by their neglect of important duties. 1t
was bad enough to run away from
legislative work and leave bills hanging
in the air. 1t is worse to remain indif-
ferent now and delay the business ses-
sion to a time when partisan politics
will be seething and when members
cannot legislate sanely.
The situation is an anomalous one.
The Legislature held a fourteen weeks
session and it's uncompleted work and
the new work cut out for it surpass in
Importance all the work done during
the fourteen weeks. And we find the
Legislators scattered. Some are canvass
ing their districts, others are at the
seashore and from others there is no
sign. Those who are thus Indifferent
to their public duties are not fit for
legislative trusts and their constituents
make note of that fact and act
upon it in the legislative nominations
soon to be made.

Nothing without Labor.

The world goes on improving
At a wondrous rapid pace.
The motor cars keep moving
And the locomotives race.
Every day finds genius talking
OF some swift and strange device
But you've got to keep on
If you haven't got the price.
The great aim is saving labor;
But you've got to labor more
To keep marching with your neighooi
Than you ever did before.
Our inventors offer daily
Something wonderful and nice
That will keep life going gaily;
But you've got to get the price.

John Dillon and Justin Mccarthy, in turn, took up the
reins of leadership. Then came John I. Redmond, and he has
for wears piloted his country and his party with judgment,
energy and ability. 1t has been an uphill fight, though. He
had set his heart on the Evicted Tenants Bill through
which were to be restored to their homesteads families evicted
by monsters like Lord Clanricarde. The good faith of the
Bannerman Administration was pledged to this measure, but
when the House of Lords emasculated it the Administration
meekly bowed its head and surrendered. Now Redmond and
his followers have gone home to Ireland TO face a populace
wrought to white heat, by disappointment and broken trust
There was already discomfort with the slowness of results from
Parliamentary agitation. The present frame of mind is one
susceptible to rash counsels-susceptble to suggestions of what
might be accomplished in Ireland, as it was in the Transvaal
by showing Great Britain what Irshmen could do on the
battlefield. There are worse things than war, but poor Erin is
in no condition for war today. Her best friends car, only hope
that she will pass through the present crisis unscathed.

generation Must obey.

The people Of the United States are de-
termined that the corporations shall obey
the law. But they do not want to destroy
them nor to injure them, for In so doing
they would injure themselves. MOI do they
wish to punish a number of innocent stock
holders for the lawless acts of corporation
managers.
Corporations are impersonal, and as such
are incapable of committing crimes. which
can only proceed from a corrupt mind. But
corporations are managed by persons. and
when the managers knowingly and deliber-
ately violate the law, they should be called
into court, tried for their offense. and, upon
conviction, punished as the law provides.
That Is the proper way and the most eff
fectual way of putting a stop TO corporate

Parnell was as utterly unlike the typical Irishman as one
could imagine. He had nothing of the impulsive, frank, warm
hearted Celtic ways. He was cold, undemonstraive, secretive.
Like Butt he was a Protestant. He had no gift of oratory.
But he had a genius for leadership. for picking the right men
to do each task, for judging men and for planning campaigns.
With Sexton, Dillon, William O'Brien, Healy, the two Redmonds
and four-score others he toured the country and preached the
gospel of Home Rule. Parne1ls will and Parnelps orders
superseded the British laws in Ireland until the government was
goaded into decisive action. Parnell and his principal liu
tenants were arrested and thrown into Kilmainham Jail and
thence they issued their famous defiance to the government ii
shape of a proclamation to the Irish people calling upon then
to cease paying rents to the landlords until the leaders wer
released and the ordinary law of the land put into operation
in place of the Coercion Act.

Should the Republican party name as its
candidate for President a man thoroughly
identified with the work the President has
done the people next year would give the
Republican party a new lease of power.
Should the Republican convention dodge
the great issues. should IL "indorse' the
President and nominate Fairbanks, or
some man identified with corporate depre-
dations or machine politics, the people
would turn from the Republicans to the
Democrats for aid in carrying out their

In the field of management. He was to
the stage Of this country what Henry
Irving was for so many years to that OF

That No-Rent Manifesto was a failure, though Parnell, with
one of his queer smiles, declared that his own tenants were
obeying it nobly. 1t was a failure because the bishops and
priests regarded it as immoral, and so declared themselves. But
the unquenchable spirit of Irish patriotism kept up the fight
until the government had to open the prison doors. Home
Rule seemed near then because that great Englshman, William
Ewart Gladstone, had come to understand the futlfy of trying
to govern a nation against its will.
But the Fates had decreedN otherwise. The Phoenix Park
murders turned back the rising tide of friendly Scotch and
English sentiment, aud the O'Shea scandal made Parners lead
ership impossible. The Irish party became disrupted and the
men whom Parne1 had made politically turned on him like
COYOTES o n a wounded lion. Parne1 died of a broken heart.

After the Fenian outbreak in the late Sixties the people
were, perforce, persuaded to try Constitutional agitation. Isaac
Butt, an able and distinguished lawyer, was chosen as leader of
the new Home Rule movement. He was a conservative and
dignifed gentleman, and he seemed to feel satisfied by delivering
in the House of Commons once a year a strong and logical
argument in favor of Irish se1fgovernment. There were no
results, however, and the people were becoming FESTIVE under the
policy of Butt and his successor, Captain Shaw, when Charles
Stewart Parnel appeared on the scene. Parnell broke away
from Shaw's leadership and announced that he was tired of the
begging and pleading style of asking for Ireland's rights. This
descendent of Old Ironsides, with the aid of quaint, faithful old
zoe Biggar, Immediately proceeded to turn the House of Com
mons upside down. Until Ireland got some attention they would
para1yze all legislative business, and Parnen's knowledge OF
Parliamentary law enabled him, for a time, to make good.
