NEW JERSEY SHAD
FISHERMEN BUSY

PENNSGROvE, April 5-Shad fishing
will begin in earnest this week. Many nets
here have not even been wet this season,
but the few fishermen who have been out
have been fairly successful. Between 1000
and 5000 FISH have been taken to market
daily from the bay. AS high as 50 and as
low as 10 have been taken at a haul.
President Harris, Of the Protective AS
sociation has been informed that many
bouys which interfere with nets in the
Delaware river have been removed for the
shad season.
The passage by the Legislature at Tren-
ton of a bill prohibiting the fishing Of
shad nets between noon Saturday and G
O'Clock Monday morning was quite a blow
to fishermen. They had been informed that
the bill had been killed in comittee and
they were rejoicing over this fact. II the
Senate concurs the change will mean a big
loss to the fishermen, as the best hauls are
made between midnight Sunday night and
s o'clock Monday morning.

shout that England must be prepared to meet
the danger The Conservatives who are out OF
power in England are trying to regain their lost
control by advocating still more battleships
They complain that the Liberal Government is
incompetent to carry on real imperial war
program.
II is to be noticed that the only members of
the Parliaments of the two countries who are
opposing this race for warships are the labor
MEMBERSHIP Radicals and the Laborites in the
English Parliament, and the Socialists of the
German Rechstag During the fury of the
war-ke debates in the two Houses, the Radi-
Gals and the Socialists of the two nations ex-
changed peace greetings. In fact upon these
two parties seems to devolve the responsibility
of curbing the rampant military spirit which will
prove burden in taxation that may in the end
break the backs of the toiling producers. They
know well what war means, and they know upon
whom rests the deadly weight of war and mill
tarism.

row of some kind must follow the plow.

the boast of England that her navy must exceed

OF late years the German Empire in every

German Parliament is voting tons of money for

FARMING in SUSSEX.


We have had a remarkable winter and
spring is opening with great promise for
the farmer. The progress made by this
county in methods of farming in the last
ten years is something remarkable and
has opened the eyes OF our people to the
possibilities Of development I'm the future
Every year our farmers are becoming bet
ter farmers. They are becoming students
OF the soil as well as workers thereof
They are Norking with their heads as well
as with their hands, and learning every
day how to better utilize their land to
grow bigger and better paying crops. The
soil I'm this county is Of different kinds,
and, IN fact. on many farms can be found
these different kinds of soil, which arc
particularly suited to particular crops.
In fact. we can grow anything that can
be grown in the Temperate Zone and grow
II abundantly. People from other states
are making this discovery and the last
few years has witnessed an influx Of peo-
pie who are anxious TO take advantage OF
the opportunities offered by our cheap
lands, which are yet so accessible TO the
markets OF Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington and New York, TO say moth
ing OF our smaller cities and all the mar
kets which are brought within our reach

SHARING WITH EMPLOYEES.

Il HE DUPONT Powder Company has prepared
\ plan by which its thousands of employees
may become stockholders in the business. This
offer of the company is in line with the latest dc
velopment in the large business word-that of
permitting employees in one way or another to
become shareholders in the business. The plan
OF the company WILL no doubt, be carefully con-
sidcred by the men and accepted by great
MANY of them. Some years ago the Standard
Oil Company made similar proposal to the en-
ployes and those who did not accept are now
very sorry.
One of the consequences of such arrangements
is to bring employees and employers into closer
business relations But an employe in the SER
vice of the DUPONT Company has usually been
considered lucky individual and it would seem
that the good fortune is TO be added to by the
opportunity to become a stakeholder.
After all it looks as If such plans as those OF the
DUPONT Company and other large concerns will
do much to solve many Of the vexatous problems
between capital and labor. In a minor way il
is cooperation and cooperation without the pull
backs which make usual cooperative schemes
fail. Most operative plans do not succeed be-
cause of lack of proper management
Under ordinary cooperation the stockholders
elect the managers and very frequently the man
ayers so chosen arc the mouthiest takers or the
popular fellows" And their popularity con-
sists in their gift of CAB. or good fellowship and
not in their careful business ability. Hence the
failure
When large concerns admit their employees
into even a small share of the business the en-
ployes get the benefit of good management and
they take their chances along with the big cap
tans of industry who are heavily involved and
therefore use their best Judgment. AL big and
little, are in the same boat

the city railway companies be forced to live up

if they did not repair sidewalks within five days,
they would be liable to punishment in the Mu-

Some may think that after all Mr. Roosevelt
was an old fashioned occupant of the White
House. He was not devotee of golf or of au-
tomobiles But it is different with Taft. The
new President loves golf, probably because he
has to do something to keep his weight from
mounting. And the golf stick presents have be-
gun to come upon him. The new President also
has fondness for automobiles, while Mr.. Roose-
felt like our own Senator stuck to the horse.
About the only thing left for Taft to do in or
