TARPON PLENTIFUL
AT THE BEACH
Enthusiastic Disciple of Walton
Lands Seven Silver King in Two
Days.

An enthusiastic fisherman who re
turned last evening from two days
outing at Tarpon Beach is Joe L. Par
ker of Kinsley, Kansas. Mr.. Parker,
who is extensively interested in land
near Olmito, has been here several
days, and went down Monday to try
his luck at tarpon angling. He re-
turns very jubilant over his success,
having shown his skill as an angler
by landing no less than seven fine
specimens of the silver king in that
time. The largest of the fish landed,
he says, measured five feet, ten in
ches, and weighed $50 pounds, while
another measured five feet, two, and
weighed 135 pounds.
This is certainly the finest tarpon
fishing on the entire Gulf coast" de-
clared Mr.. Parker this morning 81
had no idea that tarpon were so plen-
tiful here. And there are plenty of
fine table fish to be had in the bay
Also" he concluded.

Close on the heels of the Presidents
severe c1sHgatiou of maIofactoTs comes
Mr. Bryg1's fine application Of one Of the
primal inhibtions of the law 20 modern
economic conditions. Recognizing, as do
so many thoughtful observers Of our in
dustrial life and business enterprise, that
the temptation and opportunity to COM
nit various forms of wrong have been
greatly multiplied by the increasingly
complex interdependence Of human rela-
tions. Mr.. Bryan seeks 10 bring what q
recent writer has correctly den0minated
new varieties Of sin" within the simple
formulas of the old morality. Thou
shalt not steal covers a multitude Of
misdeeds besides the physical theft Of
real property belonging TO another. for
there are ways by which men may be
robbed that are perfectly legal, in a strict
sense, while the transaction is essentially
immoral Mr., Bryan pleads that the fun
d8meutal principles of morality should be
newly applied to all phases of business
and politics TO the end that no man shall
obtain "a material reward out of all pro-
portion to the service he renders society,
or a reward for doing that which is dis
tinctly anti-social
That portion Of Mr. Bryan's speech
which VIII attract most attention is natu-
rally that in which ne denOuncos with
out mincing language, the gambling in
stocks and futures that is so conspicuous
a feature of the stock, cotton. and grain
exchanges. It is easy to say that this
denunciation is provincial that it ignores
the important Office which those ex-
changes perform in the mechanism of dis
tribution and that any legislative remedy
for the evils complained of is impracti-
cable and meddlesome. The assumption
seems 90 be on the part Of those who de-
fend the system that separation of the
harmful and the beneficial In it is i'm
possible, and that along with legitimate
trading there must of necessity 90 "a trc-
mendoUs deal of downright gambling.
This plea cannot stand the test of the
moral sense. Nor does it fare much bet
ter when viewed from practical stand
point During the late financial crisis,
when it became absolutely necessary in or
der to check the panic, 20 stop stock gam
bling, it was instantly abolished, and it
was not resumed for some weeks This
result was accomplished through the me-
dunn Of the banks, by the simple method
of refusing to furnish the borrowed capt.
tai with which the bulk of stock gam
bling is carried on When a thing can
be done by voluntary effort, a good many
people need to be shown" why it can
not be accomplished by legislative enact
ment.
Our moral awakening includes the rise
Of strong sentiment in various parts OF
the country against speculative gambling.

The representatives of the Manufac-
turers' Association now in the city have
received cold comfort from Republican
leaders % whom they have unfolded their
proposal for tariff commission, but
their visit has had the effect Of emphasiz-
ing the willingness Of even the most con-
fmod standpatters 10 have the tariff
revised in some way or other after the
Presidential election. ''The signs Of the
times point to tariff revision" unwilI-
ingly admits Chairman Payne Of the Ways
and Means Committee, and both he and
Speaker Cannon agree that the tariff
schedules will have to be oyerhauled by
CoaEre=s, # only to enact a maximum and
minimum tariff. with the present rates as
"a minimum Mr.. Payne thinks the job
should be undertaken next winter Pres

idea that revision should be taken up at

ming ahead of his master. who is ap-
pareutIy willing to have the tariff ques-
ton shunted to the incoming administra-

The main point of interest I'm the pres

plank will adhere to the doctrine of pro-

sion of the tariff, and what that means we
have only 90 turn to the Wilson bill to

but will it avail with any considerable
