There is now in effect a law which forbids keeping any pickerel less than twelve inches long Gf accidentally caught it must be restored to the wa. ter at once) and forbids owners of pri- vate ponds from removing pickerel from those waters except for purposes of propagation to other ponds. A bill is to be presented to the General As semb1y for enactment, which will au- thorixe a man interested in trout or other edible hsh, to clean pickerel out of his pond and not be fined $25 a fish for every one he tries to kill. The
 picherel is an edible fish, though not of the best, but he is also a destroyer of other fish, particularly of small trout. There seems to be no adequate reason why his protection should not be wholly removed, and should this result in his extermination, it would conserve the culture of better fish.

The cost of operating the courts has increased $500 day within the last ten years It is now proposed to aug ment the cost by increasing the num- ber of Superior Court judges. State finances are in such condition that rev. enue must be increased by new or in creased taxes, or expenditures must be lessened. Obviously, the latter is the wiser policy, for the present time of reduced private incomes is not oppor- tune for new or increased taxation. Still, if the Superior Court is so over crowded with business that the pres- ent number of judges cannot dispose of 1t with proper expedition, the pro- posed increase is demanded by the sit uation. This is a matter which should be easy of entertainment by the Gen. eral Assembly.

Senator Brandegee expended, he says, but $56O95 to secure his reelection. the items being circulating papers," cost of hotel headquarters, telephoning, railroad travel and expenditures for carriage hire, postage. etc. This ex- pense account is in strong contrast to that of Mr. Hill, which aggregated s3,- 103.sO, but it does not include MT. Brandegee's subscription of $5,OO0 to the Republican campaign fund which is really a part of the cost of his re- election and which evidently secured for him the support of the State ma chine.

Governor Lilley Issues Proclamation

 Governor Lilley yesterday issued the following proclamation for the ob- servance of Lincoln Day in the schOo s:
 Acknowledging our great and lasting obligation to Abraham Lincoln. and es- pecially mindful of that supreme devo- tion and final sacrifice which, under Gods providence secured to us and to our children the splendid heritage of a free and united country.
 I hereby earnestly recommend that Friday, the twelfth day of February, one thousand nine hundred and nine, the hundredth anniversary of his birth, shall be kept and observed throughout this state by suitable exercise in our schools, by displaying the flag, and by assisting all patriotic societies and in- in their commemorative cele- brations. to the end that his name shall be cherished and his example con- tinued.

The need of continuous repairs upon the macadam roads constructed with State aid, such being the practice upon the model roads of Europe, is dwelt upon by the Hartford Times. It is a fact that if quantities of crushed stone were maintained in convenient loca- tions beside macadam roads, the roads kept under constant observation, and repairs made when needed, the cost of maintenance would be greatly re- duced. Not until some such system is put into effect, will the State roads be maintained as they should be and at the minimum possible cost.

Nevada evinces strong indications of disposition to join California in Anti Japanese action. A significant feature of the case is that the labor leaders show no perceptible interest in the ag- itation. When California took vigor- ous action against Chinese immigra- tion, labor interests took front position in the matter. Now, they are silent. Who then. is pushing the Anti-Japan- ese case so energetically? One explain ation is that the movers are big cor porate interests which are hostile to the so-called "gentlemen's agreement" between the U.

Whatever the true explanation it is a fact that the Anti-Japanese agi- tation in California and Nevada is an- gering the people of Japan, and their indignation may eventually influence the policy of their government.

available at any time, and there is
no better material for filling sleeves
and tucked or pulled gowns to keep
them from crushing. Tissue paper
should be crumpled and poked into
ribbon or lace hat bows and among
hat flowers, and should surround the
hat itself to keep 1t from fiattening
against the sides of the box or trunk
lid
Each pair of dainty gloves and all
neckwear should be separately
wrapped. Layers of it to separate
the varied contents of the trunk will
make the terrible business of unpack-

Travellers who have packed with

ever to its use.

GEMS FROM THE BOOK.

The root of wisdom is the fear
Of the Lord, and the branches
thereof are long life.
Be not a hypocrite In the
sight Of men, and take good
heed what thou speakest.
Gold Is tried in the fire, and
acceptable men in the furnace
Of adversely.
The greater thou art, the
more humble myself, and thou
shalt find favor before the Lord.
Many are in high place, and
OF renoWn, but mysteries are re-
vealed unto the meek.
A stubborn heart shall fare
evil at last; and he that Ioveth
danger shall perish therein.
The heart of the product will
understand parable, and an
attentive ear is the desire of a
wise man.
Observe the opportunity and
beware Of evil.
Be not as lion in thy house,
nor frantic among thy servants.
Strive for the truth unto
death, and the Lord shall fiqht
for thee.
Be swift to hear, let thy life
be sincere, and with patience
give answer.
Sweet language will multiply
friends, and a fair speaking
tongue will increase kind greet
ings.
A faithful friend is a strong
defense, and he that hath found
such an one hath found a treas
ure.
Open not thine heart to every
man, lest he requite thee with
a shrewd turn.
