Great Shad Season.

"Will the Delaware shad die out {?
was a question asked by an over-anxious
admirer of the fine food fish recently after
what he termed two bad seasons with the
fishermen.
And then, while the fear and pessimism
induced by the very thought of such a
catastrophe is still abiding, the question
is asked a Delmonico menu writer what
tasty or dessert he would suggest for a
planked shad dinner. He responds, ''Oh,
lemon meringue is about as good as any
thing if desired to add to the taste of
planked shad."
But there is no danger in Delaware Bay
at least. Forested by the United States
hstcheries and the united efforts of three
States through their fishery departments.
the Delaware shad are here, great gleam-
ing, throbbing fellows, as symmetrical as
they are toothsome They are being
hauled up and caught on drifts about as
fast as fisherman can readily handle them.
The runs are not so numerous, perhaps,
as in some years during tae decade pre-
ceding the '9O's, but the shad run better
in size. Fifty dollars the hundred was
the ruling wholesale price last week, bat
Fhis week they are going down to S35,
unless cold snaps drive them back, temp
orarily, in southern waters.
The introduction Of a ''rattler" in shad
fishing in the bay and tributaries Bowers
Beach has caused strife among the fisher
men. It is a device swung down into the
water and aloft again, making noise like
the rattle of a giant policeman. This,
some shad fishermen say. frightens the
fish into their leash, while others say it
frightens them out Of Delaware waters
altogether.
State Fish Commissioner Archer has
been informed Of the strife and the ques
tion as to whether or not its use is law
ful will have to be decided by the States
legal authorities, should Mr., Archer so
refer it. His decision is being anxiously
awaited Meantime luscious Delaware
shad are being sold by traders and shipped
TO many eastern cities.
There is one glory OF the sun, another
glory of the stars, but the shad is the
glory of the Delaware.

Maryland's Road Building.

The State Road Commission ol
Maryland has completed the task
Of selecting the routes Of the State
roads which are to be built with the
S 900, 600 loan this year.
Chief Engineer Crosby reported
that the plans for Worcester, Tai
bot, Kent and Wicomico counties
are ready, and Chairman Tucker,
with Mr. Hutton, will start on a
tour of inspection of these counties
on Monday
As a result of this last tour it is
believed that when the commission
next meets, on April goth. it will
be in a position to advertise at once
for bids ior the contacts tor these
counties.
The question Of material promises
to be the most important matter to
be taken up at the next meeting,
and the question of the cost of the
roads per mile is also a matter up
on which the commission is now
and which is apt to cause
trouble. Some of the members of
the commission believe a good road
,an be built for 81, 900 mile,
while others think that good stable
-oads cannot be built for anything
ike that price The question of
durability and of cost will engage
he attention of the commission at |
he next few meetings.

Testimony Of Liquor Men.

It is claimed by the advocates o
| license that more Intoxicating liq
! uors are sold in Kent and Sussex
now that those counties are dry,
than were sold there when those
districts were wet. If this were
the case. the liquor men ought
to be glad, from a business
/ point Of view, that Kent and Sus-
sex are dry, " But the argument
is not a good one, and there is
reason to believe that the liquor
men themselves do not take much
stock in it. One evidence Of this
is the action of the Brewery Work
ers' Union, No. POT, of this city. 1t
is announced in the Morning News
that the members of this Union
have decided Ito be lenient with
their employers, the brewers, who,
they say, have lost about one-fourth
of their business since Kent and
Sussex counties have gone for local
option.
There is now scarcely any beer
sold in the two lower counties, and
we are informed by a wholesale
whiskey dealer that the falling off
in his trade there has been very
great, but that he is still sending
some liquor to Kent and Sussex.
Being asked if it was bought for the
purpose Of re-selling. he said he
did not know that much Oft went
to private parties, but he had no
doubt that many of those TO whom
he sold whiskey purchased it for |
resale. Being further asked if he
thought it was right to ship intoxi-
cants to a district for sale therein
where the traffic is forbidden by
law, and if thereby he did not make
a participant in the viola
-ion of the law, he shrugged his
shoulders and said They all do
t. ." " hen it was suggested to
lim that such a course is not only
Dad in morals but is also bad busi-
less for the liquor men, he replied
hat he did not look at it in that
light /; that the law was fool law
-nyhow that the sentiment is al
eady turning, and that in few
ears the whole of Delaware will
gain be wet.
And so, we have the evidence
rom the liquor men themselves;
rst, that prohibition does mater
ally reduce the use of liquor in the
istricts where its sale is prohibited;
nd second, that so far as the law
; violated in those districts the Y
quor men are participants in such
iolatiOn. OF course it is difficult
1r law-abiding citizen to feel any
real amount Of sympathy for a ?
ian who admits that he deliberate
, encourages and cOnnives at a 5
iolation Of the law for the few d,
ollars of profit he receives there
ON. And there will be no tears
ned over the misfortune Of such a
ian if the law, carried to its fullest d
nit, should some day put him en-
rely and peremptorily out of bus

The Barr Blunder.

Accidents will happen in the
/ best regulated families " This is
the explanation given of the blum.
der by which John Barr, lately
convicted in the Sussex County
Court of bribery, is enable, tempor-
arilY at least, to escape from
the consequences of his crime. The
ablest, most alert and most con-
scientious lawyers and judges, it is
urged, are now and then liable to
such unaccountable lapses, and
none of us it may be added is free
from error. The responsibility for
the mistake seems to rest about
equally upon the Attorney Gener-
al and the Court, and quite natur-
ally, perhaps our contemporaries
are maintaining a dense editorial
silence upon the subject.
In this connection it is interest
ing to speculate upon the character
of the comments that wonld have
been made had Frank H. Davis
beed elected prosecuting attorney
for the State last November and the
same misfortune had befallen him.
This paper would certainly have
criticized most severely a neglect
of this sort on Mr.. Davis part, and
we do not think it is just or advis-
able to pass it over in the present
circumstances without a word of
comment. Noblesse Oblige Mr..
Davis might not have known any
better, but that cannot be said of
the gentleman who is now AttOr-
ney General, and in whose ability
and integrity there is general conf
dence, in which this paper shares.
There is another consideration. |
1t may be the law, but it does not /
seem to a laymen to be common /
sense that a man who appears in
court and defends himself from a
charge can be held to have made
no plea in the case. The very
fact that he defends is to all intents
and purposes a plea of not guilty.
We do not presume to question the
correctness of.the Court S desision,
in law; and it may have been una
but we wish to respect
-ully observe that it is largely
through the application Of l-gal
echnicalities such as this, by
which criminals too often escape
heir just deserts, or delay their
punishment, that the prevailing
md increasing laxity Of respect for
III law is engendered. We hear on
Ill sides and among all classes eX- I
,ressions that indicate a more or Z
ess pronounced feeling that the law ,
S an uncertain quantity that pre- t
edent is too much regarded and, c
hat justice is rarely to be attained.
there can be no question that this /
ceiling is too frequently justified, Il
nd it is therefore all the more un- b
)rtunate that where a decision in f
armony with the essential rights c
the matter has been reached the
urpose of the law should be de- t,
,ated through fhe operation of a b
that has no real bear a
