admonition We're considered important.
He his own master, and when he
threw himself upon q couch for little
folding of the hands to sleep everybody
went on tiptoe SO he wouldn't be dis
turbed. Can't you understand how gall
ing it must be to such a man to live i'm
the same house with his posterity and
have no voice in the management OF
things: to be considered a harmless do
tard when he hands down a package Of
wisdom? That was how old Clinkenbeard
has been situated, and I can realize how
ardently he longed for a shanty OF his
own, where he wouldn't be in anybody q
way; where he could be his own boss
once more.
Mrs. Sulphur has been in a similar
box. After presiding for years over a
large and obedient family. she found her
self a widow. She is an old-fashioned
woman of simple tastes. She likes to 60
into the kitchen and bake cookies ana
mince pies. She likes to rustic around In
the garden raising green onions and
geraniums and things. She likes to tie q
a broom But her married children are
all prosperous, and they pile on more
agony than the law allows. She either
has to live with them or conduct a hermit
tage all by her lonesome When she visits
around among her children she can see
they are ashamed Of her old-fashioned
ways. They want her to wear black satin
and a lace cap, but she'd rather be cut
ting up cabbage for sauer kraut. She's
living alone most Of the time, but she
doesn't like it, for she's used to having
a man around the house to read the riot
act to now and then, and nothing Will
take the place of husband.
$50 these two excellent old people con-
tons, that their declining years would be
far more comfortable if they pooled their
issues and i, for one. wish them many
happy returns of the day.

RIDES INTO LAGOON.
Speeder Pursued by Police Says He
Couldn't Stop Motor

CHICAGO, November 25.-Two Chi
cago motor cycle policemen pur-
sued a speeder, also mounted on q
motor cycle. through Lincoln Park yes
terday at the rate of forty miles an
hour and were astonished to see the
man turn his machine into the lagoon
where he vanished in a cloud Of spray
that splashed as high as the treetops.
The officers arrived in time to drag
the man from the water. He gave his
name as Godfrey Carlson and instead
of asserting that he was going only
eight miles an hour, he thanked them
for saving his life. as it was his
maiden ride on a motor cycle and he
did not know how to stop it,
Carlson said every time he tried to
slow down he made the machine 20
faster, and he had turned into the wa
ter in desperation. The machine was
recovered by park gardeners, and
Carlson pushed it home ahead Of him.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va. November 2j.-The
state board Of canvassers met here today
at noon and verified the returns Of the
election of November 5 and ascertained
the following as the returns from the
various counties and cities:
Wilson, 9O.33 Taft. %, 2SS; Roosevelt.
21.771: Debs. $40; Reimer, 30; Chain, 100.
These figures make an interesting
study. They show that Wilson received
some 1900 more over Taft and Roose-
welt than did Col Bryan over Mr.. Taft
four years ago. The majority for Mr..
Wilson in the state this year is 1920.
and his increase over Col. Bryan as COM
pared with the vote for Taft was 1856.
In many Of the counties Col. Bryan re-
ceived a larger vote than was cast for
Mr.. Wilson, and the Same Is true In one
or two Of the cities, but in the larger
cities and some of the larger counties
Mr.. Wilson ran so far ahead of Col.
Bryan that the increase in favor Of Will
son is placed at 1896.
Majorities for Congress.
The majorities for members of Con-
gress by districts is found to be as fol-
lows: First district, Jones over Kinder

Amendments to Constitution.
Three amendments to the state consti-
tuition were voted on by the people, and
they were carried by such enormous ma
jorities that statement OF the vote is
ridiculous. The amendments were OPP
posed by a few of the papers OF the
state and in the sections in which the
papers have reported influence and circu-
latiOn the vote was so strong that the
power of the papers was nulfhed. The
amendments were, in order:
To permit cities and towns to adopt
the commission form Of government il
they so decided.
To allow city treasurers to be elected
by the people and to succeed themselves.
To allow city commissioners of the rev.
enue to succeed themselves when elected
by the people.
AS related to counties, the treasurers
and commissioners are already eligible
for reelection by the people, the amend
ment to the constitution having been
adopted some time ago.

Cummins Intends to "Stick."

Senator Cummns Of Iowa, another one
of the progressive republicans" who
sought the republican nomination at Chi

republican and intends to stick. Others
of the progressive stamp, such as Sena-
tors Borah of Idaho. Gronna of North
Dakota and Crawford of South Dakota,
are expected to remain inside the repub-

numbers, but the coming conference at
Chicago is expected to develop the posi-
ton of some not now positively identi-

Fishing in America
an Early Industry

u
Of fish which could be shared or caught
even at times when the nearness of In
dams rendered the noise of the hunters
rifle inadvisable. AS far back as 1874 the
American colonists sent back to England
ships laden with the choicest fish and the
earlier Dutch traders dealt in fish from
their first settlement fthe country. The
Indians themselves had depended largely
upon the streams for their fish supply
but it was the early settlers who brought
with them the knowledge Of the value OF
the deep sea food products.
The vast territory Of the United States
including as it does SO many varying ell
matte and geographical conditions. rem
ders its fish products more varied and Oh
greater value than that of any other ma
ton and each year develops a better un'
derstanding of the methods best adapted
to the utilization of these natural advan-
tages. In the northern parts of the cOun-
try, both upon the eastern and western
seacoasts. the American fishing industries

yond the confines O ftheir own waters

equipment of the fisheries industries in
the country to almost $dO.O0O.O0O, which
is about equivalent to the annual value of
the products. About four-fifths of the
value Of the products is from the salt

Bristow May Remain Regular.

Senator Bristow of Kansas is another
whose transfer to the progressive party
would not occasion surprise. But Mr..

"a few days that he would still remain

This is to be a big fish story. 1t is
about a fisherman who is so patient ana
so lucky that every year he catches
10000 tons of fish that he sells for more
than $50, 600 600. He has as much money
as that invested in tackle. He is the
biggest fisherman in the world. His name
is Uncle Sam And this doesn't take into
account his sportsmen nephews who fish
for fun-it includes only those 100000
men who catch fish for a living and who
do their full share to feed the hungry
millions.
No other nation in the world has fisher
les of such extent and value-the only
reason one hears more of the fisheries of
certain other nations is that an annual
product Of $1O.OO0,OOO is proportionately
SO much bigger in Newfoundland than is
S6O,OOOO 600 in the United States. Never
theless the fish industry is big thing
with Americans, and something that in
one way or another affects every citizen
Of the country.
Unless it be that of hunting. fishing is
generally acknowledged to be the Oldest
of industries. Primitive man, living along
the waters of the sea or river, naturally
looked to that element to supply him
with a large part of his food and the TAX
ing of that food from the water became
more or less difficult according to the
fish selected and the means within his
reich. At the beginning. he derived
nourishment from those which were cast
upon the shore or were easily within his
reach in the shallow water. AS his in
telligence increased, he built boats and
devised fishing implements that enabled
him to capture larger. finer fish from
deeper waters. With this progress came
also a taste for the adventure and sport
which have always played a large part
in the lives Of fishermen.

Effect of Election Figures.

and IL is expected to draw many of the
leaders of the new organiZat ton.
Just how many senators and representa-
tives in Congress will attend is a subject
of much speculation at present. Not
many members of the national legislature
joined the progressive party during the
recent campaign, and the results OF the
balloting about three weeks ago. it 10
said, have not helped in promoting much
additional recruiting.
Senators Dixon of Montana and Poin-
dexter Of Washington are the only men,
bers Of the upper house of Congress to
make positive announcements Of their
allegiance to the progressive cause. Mr..
Dixon was Col. Roosevelts campaign
manager and Mr.. PoindeXter represents a
state which elected two progressives as
representative at large. Other insur-
gent republican senators have not de-
cIared themselves out of the republican
party and into the progressive party.
Senator Clapp of Minnesota has been eX-
pected to join it, but the fact that Sena-
tor Nelson, running as regular repuD-
lican, was reelected in Minnesota and
that solid republican delegation was
sent from that state to the House IN the
last election, it is believed. Will hold Mr..
Clapp in the republican party.
