Dollar Fish,

"Have you any dollar fish hereT a
woman asked of one of the attendants
at the aquarium.
While the question may seem curl
Gus, it was really very simple, for the
dollar fish is only young moonfsh.
The moonfish is curious but beau
tiful creature, almost round in shape
and extremely thin and having the
loveliest of pearly sides. 1t swims on
edge, so that it always presents Its
sides of pearl to view. It~takes its
name from its shape and because,
further, in color it suggests the silvery
moon.
Young moonfsh of the size of a
standard silver dollar-and they are
scarcely any thicker-are called dollar
fishes because Of their resemblance to
that coin in size and shape and color.
and the woman making the inquiry
about dollar fishes was duly informed
that there was none in the tanks at
the present time, but that they did
have them occasionally. = New York

GOVERNOR FoRT's special commission to
inquire into excise conditions is busy on a
report to be presented to the Governor
not later than December 10, by which
date he must have it to embody its recon-
mendations in his message to the Legisla-
ture. One of the recommendations of the
report, it is said, will be that no liquor
dealer or other person interested in the
liquor business in any way be allowed to
hold public office. Question of Sunday
selling will probably be dismissed without
recommendation, the commission having
found that there is no general demand for
a change from the present regulations.
Only one or two of the larger cities and a
few of the summer resorts are at all inter-
ested in breaking down the 'tclosed Sun
day." 1t Is not believed that the commits
sion will advocate the Governors plan of
q State Excise Commission, the members
holding that such body would entail an
annual expense of at least 800, 900, in ad-
dition to making possible the building up
of a powerful political machine. The
Board Is inclined to urge that all license
matters, including the fixing of fees. be
left in the hands of local boards to be
elected by the people. The commission is
likely to recommend that licenses be
limited to one for every five hundred per-
sons and not one thousand persons, as
was at first suggested, with graded scale
of fees from 81 900 down. The commits
sion will report that there are 5,2S1 regu-
larly licensed hotels, 1925 saloons, DO
clubs. 522 wholesale places and SO bottlers'
licenses in the State, netting an annual
revenue of 81, 708. 41O-14. This gives one
licensed place for every SOS persons
There will be drastic thinning out oper-
alton if the liquor places are reduced to
one for every 500 persons. There are also
forty four breweries in the state, with an
anuua, output Of SIT, 4OO.O 900 and yearly
pay roll of $s.7OGOOO.

A MAN may fight for the good of the
people all he wants to. he may try to In
stitute reforms and cut out abuses, but II
is question whether his services are ap.
preciated. One of the latest examples OF
of this kind is that of Tom L. johnson,
former mayor of Cleveland. He made a
fortune as traction man, and then got
the idea that low rates Of fare on the
trolley lines would be a great thing fol
the Cleveland public. He went in fol
three-cent fares, and on that platform he
was elected mayor four times. On that
platform he fought hard and had arraYed
against him many of the most influential
interests In the city. Just as he seemed
to have the desire of his heart gratifed
those for whom he had been working
turned against him, and he went down,
and with him went his private fortune
which he had been using to bring about
reforms. This case is but one of many.

CouNr1Es which have sheriffs who now

COUNTIES which have Sheriffs who now
go under salary, instead of fees, are
having some controversy over the subject
of feeding prisoners and the Jurisdiction
of warden. There does not seem to be
more than one correct idea on this point
No law exists by which the care of the
prisoners and the feeding of them is taken
from the Sheriff. The Court of Errors
and Appeals has decided that Sheriff on
a salary basis is not entitled to any extra
compensation In connection with feeding
the prisoners. On this decision somebody
is agitating the passage of law whereby
Hudson county-the locality affected by
the decision-may maintain its jails with
out starving the prisoners. This is rank
nonsense. The Sheriff, or the Board of
Freeholders, have all the law toward that
end that is necessary. 1t has been de-
monstrated In other counties that the
prisoners can be well fed at less than it
cost when the fee system was in effect.
Sheriff Worrell has agreed to undertake
that task in Burlington county and we
predict that there will be marked diff
ference In the bills for that account that
will be rendered In the future. In asking
for the law suggested above the Sheriff of
Hudson county contends that the present
statute provides that only ten cents per
day can be expended on one prisoner.
Sheriffs have been allowed various prices,
ranging from IS cents to So cents per day,
and from reports that have been rendered
1t would appear that the idea of the law
that only ten cents per day could be ex-
pended had been strictly adhered to- The
Sheriff of Hudson county would probably
be glad to have law enacted that would
allow him to retain about 5000 taken
from the county treasury in extras, but it
is hardly likely the Legislature would
pass any statute that would put premium
on exacting illegal fees,
