FIRST blues OF THE season
CAUGHT AT BREAKWATER
George Tennyson, Keeper of
Southwest Ledge Light,
Lands En-.

The first bluef1sh to be caught at
the breakwaters this year was landed
Saturday by George Tennyson, keeper
of Southwest Ledge lighthouse. The
annual visit of the bluefish to these
waters occurs late in August and ex-
tends into September, and is anxiously
looked forward to by the disciples of
Isaac Walton. for the blues" as they
are termed, are the only real game
fish that visit the locality in numbers
sufficient to make lively sport
OF course, it is not the large, mar
ket bluefish, like those found off Mon
tauk and In the Race, that come into
the harbor It is a school of young fry,
fish six to eight inches long, Weighing
up to half pound, but they put up a
fight out Of all proportion to their
size when hooked.
The probabilities are that in few
days they will come in sufficient num-
bers to make lively sport for lovers of
the rod and reel.

DIR. HIhDRETHs RELIC.
Yale and Dartmouth Are Both After
r.

1t,
Summer guests in Bethlehem, N. H,
have been taking much interest In the
great stone head which occupies a
place on the lawn at DR., Hildreth's
handsome residence on Main street.
The head was found on hill near Lis
bon several years ago and ever since
its discovery, it has been a subject of
speculation among antiquaries and rel
ic hunters. Professor Hitchcock of
Dartmouth has stated that the head is,
without doubt, relic of the stone age
and that it was worshiped, as an idol
by the people who inhabited the coun-
try before the Indians, centuries ago.
He says that the relic is singularly per-
feet and valuable. Both Dartmouth and
Yale have suggested the value such
relic would be to each institution, but
DR.. Hildreth has not decided what dis
position he will make of it.
The eyes and mouth are wonderfully
defined on the stone head and deep
indentation across the forehead shows
according to Professor Hitchcock, the
place where the wreath rested in by
gone centuries. Dr. Hildreth's lawn
is visited daily by a crowd to whom the
relic is an object of unbounded cur
iosity.

The year 1906 was closed with
another horror that affected many
homes. A railroad wreck occurred
on the Metropolitan branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, near
Washington, in which 81 people lost
their lives and 63 were injured, some
of whom may yet die. Despite the
best precautions of human agencies,
these wrecks seem unavoidable, but
when we consider the large number
of victims during the past year, we
should always bear in mind the mil
lions who are carried safely. There
is hardly person in this country
who does not use the railroad more
or less. The law should surround
them with every consistent safe
guard, even if it requires slower
schedules, although in these days
time is very precious.

The Secretary of Agriculture has
handed a number of reports against
railroad companies to Attorney
General Bonaparte, calling attention
to the violation of the law which
prohibits the detention of cattle for
than thirty-six hours without food.
Completed evidence accompanies
each case and the attorney general
is requested to institute proceedings
at once. The law provides as a
penalty for its violation a fine Of
$500. Secretary Wilson says there
are several hundred cases under con-
sideration and that prosecution will
follow in every case that the evidence
warrants. This looking after cattle
on railroads is of vital interest to
everyone. 1t is claimed that Texas
fever was brought into this county
because cattle were put in cars that
had become infected and were not
afterwards properly fumigated.

STATES RIGHTS.

Senator Rayner stated recently
that it is the intention of the Demo-
cratic senators to discuss the ques-
ton OF states rights as far as the in
forests of good government may re-
quire The public school question of
san Francisco, where our United
safes government has claimed the
: hit to step in and control by say
ing who shall and shall not attend
these local institutions, brings home
to the minds of the younger genera
ton some idea of what states rights
mean. Our older citizens will recall
ne incidents that led up to the Civil
War, but since that time there has
grown up a generation who have re-
garded this question as an abstract
one, not directly affecting their per-
SQUAT interests. However, when the
local school officials find that the
question of mixed schools is no
longer one which they can settle, but
that the powers in Washington re-
s.rve the right to step in and decide,
they are awakening to the fact that
should a hostile administration at
Washington declare that it would be
better to have negro children in the
white schools, this mandate would
5e carried out at the point of the
governments bayonet.
Significant with this are the utter
anees of Secretary Root, who in
recent speech frankly declared for a
Strong central government. He said
III So many words that state lines
are practically obliterated in the
business and social world, and that
they may as we'll be when it comes
TO questions of local government. 1t
is q well-known fact that the mind
of Mr.. Root largely directs the hands
that guide our ship of state. Ever
since he entered the cabinet his abil-
lily and craftsmanship from his point
Of view are unchallenged. But can
ti'e people of this country afford to
stand idly by when we see great
man Of the opposite party getting
ready 70 force upon US a form of gov
crnment which we are not prepared
to receive? Root is but filling the
shoes of that dead statesman, Alex
auder Hamilton, who in his day ad-
vocated like form of government.
Coming events sometimes cast
their shadows before, and it now
seems that the question of states
rights will loom out as one of the
prominent Issues of the next national
campaign. The Democrats cannot
be blamed for having drawn first
blood in this alteration. By their
acts and by their words the Republi-
cans have advocated a change Of
off constitution, which would bring
about one large central government,
even to cur minute local affairs. Can
the Democrats afford to let the chal-
lange go by unanswered? If they do
and the Republicans are again sue
cezsful in 1908, their representatives
in Congress will be justified in start
ing the machinery in motion looking
10 the proposed constitutional re-
vision.

The PRESIDENT STAND COM
MEWDED.

The PRESIDENTS STAND COW
MENDED.
Senator's Foraker, of Ohio, and
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, are just
LOW trying to get a little cheap
uQtorIety in bringing about an in
vcstigation of President Roosevelt's
action in disbanding the negro
troops who were mixed up in the
Brownsville riot.
1t was a manly stand that the
President took when the negro
soldiers refused to tell the names of
tGe murderers who were responsible
for the death Of at least two people
in Brownsville, and the country
highly approves of his action. The
only condemnation that he has re-
ce,yed is from the cheap demagogues
who think that the negro vote can
b. cajoled and fattered by a con-
sricuous exhibition just at this criti-
al time
Following upon this is the effort of
tie negro press and negro organiza-
tons IN trying to create false SEN
timent Of honor in favor of the
negroes who have refused to tell the
names Of the guilty parties. These
papers and organizations are doing
all in their power to encourage the
hiding of crimes committed by fellow
members Of their own race. That
Ills IS the fruitful cause of lynching
Resident Roosevelt pointed out in
his last message to Congress.
Whatever may be the course of
resident Roosevelt in the future,
t.- decent people Of the country will
cordially endorse his summary action
in tie Brownsville incident, Senator's
Foraker and Penrose to the con-
trary not withstanding.
