k1R. BOWERS AND THE SALMON
 FISHERIES.

A circular recently promulgat ed by the Fish Commission an
 nounces that a hearing will be
 held in Seattle to listen tO Obicc- lions. if there be any, to the clos
 ing of half dozen fish streams tn fishermen, in this section of Alas ka. Why the meeting should hc ical!cd in Seattle can only be ar- sN""cd on the hypothesis that il
 1S a matter that concerns the can , ,cr> men rather than the fisher Hrii.
 Those who fish in the nIainritv V iof thrSr streams mentioned. sc,l lth"ir catch either tn galleries or mall independent canncrirs. whose rrpreScntaiivrs will moi be at that meeting. Not being con- ccrn"d in those particular streams the agrntS' nf the Alaska Packers Association, or the Nnrihwcs slcrn !FishcrirS Company. will have no need of being there. II is also mo- 1lce able that none of the streams from which either ono of thcs, big companies illegally catch thri: fish are included among Ihr Strrhns which il is contaminated [" r"s"rN" aS spawning grounds. T" tn" westward are many stl- ri"n streams upon which the hiw companies ar" maintaining irapS m violation of the law. and vel 1h" United States toner 4f Fisheries has taken no sicpS towards compelling an obcdirncc of the law, not mentioning the prohibition of all fishing. in ordc; that the fish be given an oppor- tunity tu propagate their species. lt is the usual game of comprll- ing the individual fisherman and the small operator to make the sacrifice of his means of livcli- hood in favor of the big"canncry- men, who is permitted to do near ly aA he pleascs.
 This movement of the Fish toiilIillSSlOner Is probably in line with the latest move of the fish trust to freeze out the smaller operators by selling their output below the cost of production. If our memory serves Us correctly, MT. Bowers, the Federal Fish CommlsSiOnrr. was only recently charged on the floor of the Sen ate with lobbying to delay inc passage of a bill pending in Con gross for the protection of the fur seal, in inc interest of the San Francisco fur monopoly.
 II certainly looks in Us Alas kans as if his acquaintancrShip did not extend far beyond inc of fees of the two large fishing con- cerns. But then wc presume Mir. Bowers knows upon which side hIs bread is buttorcd.

LITTLE MISS HARTLEY
DROPS BOMBO ON HEADS
OF WOULD Be MOSESES
Academy of Political and Social
Sciences Sits Up and
Takes Notice.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 2.-The au-
nual meeting of the American Academy
of Political n Social Science was
thrown into a turmoil of excitement
when Miss Fay NJ. Hartley, exception
ally pretty. tanned, grey-eyed, about 20
years old, the delegate from the Ne
braska Farmers association, broke into
the calm of a debate in a way that
a%stounded her hearers.
She said as there was no one else to
she would do it. She told the academy
very frankly that she was forced to
assume it was founded on wrong prin-
ciples.
Miss Hartley got the floor for Ave
minutes after a learned discourse with
refence to Industrial combinations. The
little delegate from Nebraska walked
down the aisle from her seat, lifted a
small clenched fist, challenged all that
had been said by the learned speakers,
classed experts generally as one with
"the self made Moses of general gov
eminent in their ignorance of the needs
and desires of the common people, n
said that lots Of people In high places
are in for a good drubbing when the
sleeping giant, the p%opulace, wakes
from his nightmare.
No Voices for People.

ley in a level voice, that while there

great phase of industry almost, there
is not n to speak for the agricultural
interests, And I have noticed, too, that
there has been but one to represent Ia
bor-as it desires to be represented.

association, like ali of the other bodies
that nowadays assume to study or di-
rect government, is founded on wrong
principles.
"It is my belief that the gentlemen
who have spoken here. and who have
touched all the heights Of the labor sit
uatiOn under debate, are still as far
Wrong-as far from the elementals-
as the self-constituted Moses of gov
eminent, whom the people AVE fol-
lowed so long, SO YEARLY, and of late.
so 1mpatiently.
Don't Know Common Need.
ri suppose the experts, like the men
who go to college for instance, achieve

common touch and the trend of the
common thought and the common need.
I have no remedy to offer, l merely
want while all phases of this great
question have been touched upon, the
great basic wrongs-the problem as it
touches the people have been spoken
of not at all.
Let me say-my five minutes are
nearly up-the people are a sleepy
giant. And when that giant wakes
from his present Northumberland, be-
lieve me, he is stirring-there will be
a great padding in many places high

Miss Hartley was quivering with
emotion when she finished in a thunder
of applause.
The pretty delegate for the Nebraska
farmers said afterwards that she meant
every word of it,; that 1--WE are inclined
