PLANS GREAT
BASS HATCHERY
State Fish Commissioner Hopes
to Distribute 800, 600 Yearly.
FORMER EFFORT A FAILURE
Largest and Most Efficient Plant IN
the Worlo-four Small Lakes OF
Five Acres Each Designed to
Stock State Streams.

Pleasant Mount.-In connection
with the State fish hatchery tnat has
existed here for the last ten years
Nathan r. Butler, the Pennsylvania
Commissioner of Fisheries, is now
constructing the largest and most ell
cient plant Tor the production OF Dlach
bass IN the world. He hopes TO DIS
tribute 10000 young fish IN State
bass streams each year. Pleasant
Mount was originally designed as
trout hatchery, the site being donated
to the State of Pennsylvania. MI.
Butler has decided to make it princi-
nally bass hatchery, for which the
quantity and temperature OF the
water and natural location are admlra-
Bile. To make an ideal bass hatchery
the Commissioner has designed four
small lakes, averaging five acres each,
whose greatest depth will be IL feet.
The first one of these lakes, SIX acres
in extent, has been completed, and IL
has been stocked with 500 adult hsh,
weighing three pounds apiece. 1t is
the intention of the Fisheries Depart
ment of Pennsylvania not to distribute
the bass until they are from three 10
five inches long old and strong enough
to enable them to take care OF ITEM
selves in the stream where they will
be planted Formerly bass were dis
tributed when still tiny, and this at
tempt at increasing the supply OF
these fish throughout Pennsylvania
was failure. The lakes will be so
designed that when the time comes
for distribution the water can be
drawn off and the young netted.

what constitutes a play ground, this

NO POLITICS AT BANQUET.

The st. Paul Dispatch said last
night: "Mankato probably will affirm
it's allegiance to Governor Eberhart
next Thursday evening at the annual
banquet of the Commercial club. Gov.
ernor Eberhart has been invited to
attend. There has been considerable
comment since the interview given
out by F. F. Ellsworth that Mankato
was not solid for the governors re.
nomination" 5+, ~.
The Dispatch has been misinform'
ed. Politics will not be given a place
at the banquet. Governor Eberhart
it is true, will be an honored guest
and he will probably be called upon
to speak, but SO far as The Free
Press is able to learn, no action will
be taken regarding his candidacy
The banquet, like all Commercial
club affairs, will be strictly non-parti'
san. Governor Eberhart would frown
upon he introduction of politics on
such an occasion.

Mr.. RoosEvELT,s CANDIDACY.

The anticipated decision of ColOne
Roosevelt has been made public. He
is a receptive candidate for the re
publican nomination for president
His letter to the seven governors
makes his position clear on this
point, although the public some
weeks ago had reason to suspect thai
the former president would again
aspire to the position.
In his letter, Colonel Roosevelt
states that he favors giving the PEG
pie as a whole an opportunity through
direct primaries to express their
preference as to who shall be the
presidential nominee. AS the people
are well acquainted with his stand
ION all other public questions, Mr.
Roosevelt did not deem it necessary
to incorporate in his communication
a declaration Of principles.
The formal entrance of, Colonel
Roosevelt as presidential candidate
certainly will enliven the pre-conven.
ton campaign,a and the line between
the two wings of the republican
party is bound to be sharply drawn,
and the friends of both Mr.. Roosevelt
and President Taft will vie with
each other in their efforts to OBJ
tain the delegations to the national
convention. 1t will be an interesting
contest marked by almost limitless
discussions of national issues that
must surely be educational in their
effect. ...... a.. .:..
Both Mr.. Roosevelt and President
Taft have placed their cause in the
hands of the republican party, and
the rank and file will decide who
shall receive the nomination. With
either man as its nominee the party
can win. Whatever course the con-
vention pursues the party will give
its endorsement. Colonel Roosevelt
will support the nominee. He will
not be an Independent candidate,
but will stand for the party's choice.
That President Taft will do likewise
is a foregone conclusion.
While The Free Press always has
admired Colonel Roosevelt and has
been one Of his staunchest support
ers, it does feel that in the pres
ent instance he should have stood
by the declaration he made sew.
eral years ago in which he said
he would never again be candidate
for the presidential nomination.; also
he would meet our more pronounced
approval if he had given to President
Taft that praise which he so richly

THE pRoTEcTIoN OF SUCKERS

/
The old idea that it was not the
province of government to protect
citizens against fraud and deception
ordinary business acuteness would
detect has been abandoned. .z
,Swindlers are no longer permitted
to prey with impunity upon men
whose business intelligence is below
the average. Even those who repel
sympathy by the criminal folly OF
trying to swindle the swindler come
under the protection of state and
federal law, says The Minneapolis
Tribune. ..r .
| 1t was high time to abandon the
old let alone policy. Never have the
thousand and one swindling schemes
fourished as they have since the
long period of business prosperity
increased the saving of men below
the average in business tanning and
judgment. ,s -
The postoffice department, which
has been pursuing fraudulent use of
the mails with great energy, esti'
mates that hucksters of worthless
securities have taken more than
SIS 100000 from the people of the
country in the last year.
The government does what it can
| through this one agency, but the
protection of citizens from this kind
of fraud is one of the many neg
lected functions Of the state. Oc-
casional agitation here for statutory
and administrative protection of
Minnesota citizens from stock swim
dies recalls the very effective means
used in Kansas. ,a
There it has been made unlawful
to offer for sale the securities of
any but certain specified corporation
otherwise safeguarded without show
ing a license from the state. The
conditions ON which these licenses
are issued are so rigid that of the
first 600 corporations applying for
them less than fifty stood the test.
This law has been useful in Kan
sas because it is boldly and honest
ly administered. 1t is easy to see
what an engine of corruption it
would be in dishonest or incompe-
tent hands. .ss.as--- ...-t -

THE BURNING QUESTION.

The Winona Republican and Her.
aid says that Minnesota's ash heap
covered by insurance for the last
fifteen months is about 100000
greater than the net fire premiums
received by the insurance compan.
les and the uninsured loss will reach
above the million dollar mark. A
recent report of our insurance COM
missioner gives the fire losses of
the state for January, 1911, $968,0OO
as against $4,000 for January, 1910,
and succeeding months offer no re-
lief. Slow burning structures are
taking the place of frame and our
fire fighting facilities are continually
improving, while the fire fiend has
right of way and the general public
is asleep at the switch. As nation
we burn up more property than a
half-dozen first-clasS nations put to-
gether. Fire costs us about three
dollars per capita year, while the
average of all Europe is less than
forty cents per capita. ....*s-..r.
