In strong contrast with the recent

Roosevelt, the message of MIR. Taft nm
the subject of the Tariff is brief. less
than 2OO words in fact. 1t seems mod
EST, as the President states in concIns-
ION: Il venture TO suggest that the
vital business interests of the country
require that the attention of the Com
gress in this session be chiefly devoted
10 the consideration of the new tariff
bill, and that the less time given TO
other subjects OF. legislation in this
session, the better for the country"
The ship subsidy bill was defeated
Tor the twelfth time in the House of
Representatives this week, but the
vote was very close and indicates that
the advocates Of this measure will
hnaIiy succeed in making it a law.
We agree with the Times Dispatcb that
the measure is un-Democratic, lust as
high protective tariff is un-Demo-
cratic, and the country is to be CON

OYSTERS OF MARYLAND
AND VIRGINIA.

Those papers that have been
citing the new laws in MARYLAND
as examples of what Virginia
should do show their lack of
knowledge of the oyster subject
IN this instance, as i'll others.
Maryland has much commenda-
tory i'll her new laws; i'm some re-
spects they are improvements
upon the Virginia statutes. But
Maryland isjustnow taking steps
that Virginia started fifteen years
ago, and completed five years
later. Her planting laws, lust
Deing put into force, are, with
little Improvement, what our
State has been operating under
LOT fifteen or more years. Our
sister State is Just now getting
INTO working shape on a basis
we nave for more then ten years
been upon. Naturally, she has
pronted by any mistakes we have
made, but on the whole she is
patterning after us at a late day.
Even now Maryland feels the
need OF q revision of her untried
laws, as we do also of our older
and similar ones. State Engineer
Swepson Earle is Jealous for a
revision, and among other things
mad this to say last Tuesday in
the Baltimore American:
Sixteen states are now engaged in
oyster culturs-Aassachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York. New
Jersey. Delaware. Maryland, Virginia,
North and South Carolina. Georeia.
Florida. Louisiana. Mississippi, Califor-
MIA and Oregon. Never before In the
history OF this country has the oyster in
dustry presented the same conditions
rs we have them today. The Chesa-
peake bay oysters once controlled the
oyster markets of the world. Today we
are IN competition with the oyster-pro-
oucing states of the Atlantic Coast. who
nave advanced in oyster culture. To
compete with these states means that
we must improve the quality, as well az
increase the quantity. of the oyster we
export There is always a market and
demand for good oysters. and as the
reputation OF Chesapeake bay has stood
Tor quality. l feel sure that we can
continue to produce oysters from the
bottoms of our bay that will compete
with any oyster market in tho world |
Inc question is, will Maryland lead or
will we drop back in the rear ranks?
I'VE cannot compete with our sister
state, Virginia. where planters can rent
bottoms for 81 per acre, and many

United States against the Stand

IL seemed to work better
ut the start than later on. The
case came before n Judge Lands,
who, somewhat new to the bust
ness, made ten-strike as he
thought by imposing a fine of
Twenty-Five millions Ofdollars on
the poor Standard. OF course
the company protested, appealed
the case to a higher tribunal and
hired the best lawyers of the
country to fight for them. Time
passed. Mr.. Rockefeller said
very quietly that the fine would
never be paid, but most people
thought otherwise and much
gladness was in the air that the
biggest and most malevolenU of
the Trusts had inflicted in its
vitals fatal stab. The end of
the Standard, the hated Stand
ard, was at hand and great re-
loicings were made. Very lately
the case has come up before
another Justice higher up in the
/ scale opposition than Landis, and
this Judge cuts the fine down to
some $500, 900, or about that.
Now it is understood that the
attorneys for the government
have about decided that the fine
be reduced to thirty cents, that
they have no case in court. So
the bottom has fallen out of the
prosecution. Thus ''fades each
earthly joy" and we will burn,
our smoky Kerosene and be thank
ful that The Standard, the great
and only Standard, Oil Company
allows us to use it's products at
its own price, and that peace
reigns in the land. Whether we
would have had better service or
better oil had the Standard been
crushed to earth" is a question.
but we may apparently rest i'm
peace SO far as escaping from a
monopoly goes.

Bur LONGING CONTINUES.
baltimore News. Ma,ch 1sl


Commander Howard. of the State
Oyster police, says the oyster season has
been the most Improbable for many
years, many of the people who engaged
IN the business having lost considerable
money.
The trouble does not seem to be with
The oyster supply, for Mr.. Howard says
the crop is more plentiful this year than
Tor many years past, but the demand
mai not been up to expectations, and
the priceshas been very low.
Il know of one instance" said Com
mander Howard, where a man has
lost $500 for the season. Buy boats
have felt the depression the most, often
finding it impossible to market the
oysters at the price paid for them.
The season for dredging closed yes
terday. On my way up the bay | saw
only three boats at work. The depres-
sion IN the industry had practically
driven most of them out of business be-
fore the law brought their work to an
end.
Good Season Next Year.
In many instances oysters were sold
OFT the beds as low as 20 cents bushel.
This does not pay. 1t means a bounti
fui supply for next season, however.
Tor only the finest oysters were taken.
leaving those that had not attained
their full growth for another season.
am told that many of the packing
houses have oysters left over from last
season, and the purchases made this
year were because of the cheapness of
bivalves.
The depression in the trade made nv
work unusually light. There was not
the incentive to violate the law, and
very few violations occurred. Then.
too. the oystermen may be beginning
to realize the wisdom of the restrictions
imposed by law.
