COULD RUN THINGS BETTER

Discussing the fish interests of Vir-
GINA the Staunton Leader has some
thing to say which is not altogether
wide OF the mark. 1t may be treason.
bat it bears an uncommon likeness to
common sense:
If the State would put men at the
head OF these matters who have the
training and the expert knowledge, of
the men employed in like capacity by
the general government, they would
be able to impress our lawmakers, and
legislation would be enacted of char
acter to promote the fish and oyster
industry. At present we are simply
drifting, with our head men in the
State government playing politics and
actually impressing many of us as great
statesmen. Norfolk virginian-Pilot.
Just So. 1t takes experience to
run fish and oyster affairs and
pilot legislation thereupon. Lee
and Matthews are novices in
such things, as twenty years ex-
perience is too little, and they
ought to be put out. Doubtless
the Pilots editors would be lust
the men for these places, and the
Staunton editor could give the
old warhorse Keezell many point
ters and better fill his place as
dean OF Fish Commissions. 1t is
said that anybody can run a
newspaper, so we suggest trad
ing of Jobs.

BIG CATCHES OF FISH.

1t should be very comforting to those
people and papers that year or so age
saw dearth for our Chesapeake fisheries
to know that never before have there
been SO many caught in Virginia as the
season now at its height.
Between two and three thousand large
nets are engaged in our commercial fish
cries, and practically all are making
great catches. The market holds up
fairly well.
AS many az ten thousand shad alone
are being daily shipped from the aver
age wharf along the bay shore, and at
some of the larger wharves they reach
forty thousand.

OYSTER "FATTENING" D0OMED.l
viii Not Affect Yirsinians, Whose
Oysters Are Not Floated

o. sters can no longer be fed-or as
the trade term goes ''fioated in brack-
ish water"-before they are offered for
sale. The department of agriculture
has ordered that the practice must stop
at once. The order affects all the oys-
ter trade in the United States. and is of
immense Importance todealers.
Recently the department. gave hear
ing to the oystermen who maintained
that the quality of the oyster is improv-
ed by the floating process. The de-
partment of agriculture, however, holds
that TO float an oyster after it is taken
from it's bed, provides means for the
oyster to take in contamination from
the water and offers risk of typhoid.
Oystermen from the New Jersey beds
came in an organization 200 strong to
Washington few weeks ago to protest
against the order, claiming that its en-
forcement would mean their ruin.

ACCORDING to some carping
critics it is almost a crime-at
least a barrier to preferment-to
be kinsman to those in power.
Because Col. James Mann is
nephew to our Governor these
carpers think he should not have
been appointed chairman of the
delegation to present our Houdon
gift to France, a post of honor
but without emolument. Colonel
Mann will undoubtedly do the
thing creditably, and why his
deserts should not be recognized
because he is the Governors
nephew is past comprehension.

Our sympathies are entirely
with the DISTINGUISHING movement
under way in Maryland, chiefly
for a pair of reasons. For long
time the Democrats as the domi.
nant party have not chung to-
gether on the proposition, and it
has met defeat at the polls. Now
there is a chance to get around
this. The other reason is that
the present proposition strikes
at the Fifteenth Amendment
abortion, and if the move holds
good this indignity to the South
will be exploded. We wish our
