Chinese Business Honesty.

With due respect for others the
Chinaman is perhaps the most honor
able and upright business man in the
world today. His business principles
are founded entirely upon honesty.

ansistence of a leech. The chase after
dollars stops if he has to resort to a
low trick to get them. OF course, a
little thing like telling a falsehood
occasionally does not bother him SO
much; but when it comes to plotting
and scheming to dstraud some one
the task becomes distastefuf. The
equal Of the Japanese in initiative and
foresight, he is much their superior
when integrity is concerned. A Jap

Prof. G.. F. Warren, of Cornell

the farmer without an agricultural
education was headed for the poor
house. He quoted figures to show
that ten college bred farmers averag-
ed $847 yearly income, against an av-
erage Of only 1913 for the farmers
whose education had been limited to
the district school. Most Of the
teachers used to say, he said, that
any fool could farm. Now they say
agriculture is too difficult fo- high

FISHERIES COMMISSION.
champion Monitor }

We received last week the annual re-
port of the Commission of Fisheries,
which in our estimation, with all con-
ditions considered, reflects great deal
of credit upon that body. Contrary to
expectations, in view of the many dis
agreeable rumors and bitter criticisms,
the financial showing of the Commits
sion is very good.
From a typographical viewpoint the
report presents very pleasing appear
ance and is attractively gotten up. The
reading matter is carefully compiled
and is most interesting from cover to
cover, not only to Tidewater people but
to the ''unenlightened' from the high
lands. Half tone engravings, the most
OF which cover fullpage, are scattered
throughout the book and taken all in al
it is perhaps the most unique, attrac-
tive and interesting of the States
reports.
The work shows the earmarks of the
chairman, Hon. Mcdonald Lee, owner
of the VIRGINIA CITIZEN, publisher and
printer and clever editorial writer.
The bitter critics of the Board, most
OF whom are Republicans and dis
gruntled enemies of members of the
Board, would do well to lay aside per-
sonal prejudice and study carefully just
what the Board is. doing and recognize
the merits of the work which we believe
they are conducting successfully, GER
tainly faithfully ard conscientiously.
