COMMISSION OF FISHERIES BILL,

1t is strange-but not unexpected
that the only whine throughout the
State that has come against the Board
OF Fisheries, members of which have
given their whole time and at a heavy
pecuniary loss to the States work.
comes down the wind from Warsaw and
Washington Zone and the same inspira-
tom. To handicap the Board or pre-
vent their using money for the protec-
tlon OF Tldewater's chief industry is a
severe blow at Tidewater to cripple her
through blind personal animus.
1t is highly gratifying that not
single other newspaper or public per-
son has had anything but praise for the
Board in its regeneration of our great
industry. The following from the Nor
folk Landmark echoes the sentiment
throughout the State:
Senator Sale has introduced a bill to
reorganize the State Board of Fisheries
changing the name to the Commission
OF Fisheries, making the present Chat
man of the Board Commission of
Fisheries and Chief Inspector. and
continuing MN and his colleagues in
office until February 18th, 1910. at
which date and every four years there
after the Governor shall appoint five
persons to compose the Commission.
Two Of these persons, under the Sale
bill, must be from the oyster producing
section of the State and have practical
knowledge of the oyster and fish indus
tries; but mo member or other employ
ees shall be engaged-for market or
profit-in the oyster industry, either
directly or indirectly.
The act increases the appropria ton
to 500, 600 annually from the oyster rev.
enues of the State-this sum TO include
all the salaries, charges and expendi-
lures of the Commission, Such admit
rable work has been done by the pres
ent Board of Fisheries, under the en-
thusiastic and expert direction of
Chairman w. Mcdonald Lee, whose
administration has been distinguished
by remarkable increase in the OYSTER
revenues, that there ought not to be
any objection to legislation giving the
Board more dignity, power and means.
The present Chairman has spent more
than the amount of his salary in con-
nection with the Boards work.

A REPUBLICAN STAGE PLAY.

What beautiful situation it is as
presentedin the State Legislature in re.
the investigation of the charges of
corruption and corrupt practices against
Judge Rhea, the nominee for member
ship in the Corporation Commission?
Senator Noel, Republican, who has
the distinction of having held up the
confirmation of the Judge is telling
his Democratic colleagues that he is
quite confident nothing will be proved,
and not one item of his several charges
will be substantiated and that he had
no hopes of making a showing even
when the charges were made. He ex-
pected the Senate to confirm the NOM
nation without any investigation, and
thus give the Republicans some political
thunder and lightning to hold in reserve
for future campaigns in the Ninth Dis
trict. Had Judge Rhea been confirmed
nolens volens it would have been n
sweet morsel to hand out to the Demo-
cratic aspirants of the future in this
district above named. The Democratic
Senate, however, has not lost its steer
ing gear, and though the cost to the
State for the Investigations is upwards of
$40, 900, the whole State will feel better
at having spent that sum, and Senator
Noel and those he represents can feel
assured that they brought it all on
themselves by raising any opposition.
Judge Rhea is to be completely vim
dicated and next to follow will be his
unanimous confirmation, despite the
effects of contemplated resolutions
seeking to have his name withdrawn.
And again, his flag of victory over
bitter enemies will be unfurled to toss
defiance and party hatred throughout
the length and breadth of Republican
- Accomac News.
