Menhaden Fish Laws

The fangs have been extracted from the LIN
thicum menhaden bill This was doubtless due
to the fact that government authorities con-
firm what time and again has been proven by
official investigation in Virginia, by the board
Of trade in Norfolk and other organized bodies,
that the menhaden folk do not catch any food
fish Also by Mr. IAnthicums becoming ac-
quainted with the stringent laws Of Virginia
on this subject. So his bill now, even If per-
mitted TO pass and the rights of States in respect
to fisheries be invaded by congress, will merely
be carrying out what we are already doing in
Virginia. Only slight difference exists-the
state of Virginia permitting the manufacture
into guano Of glut herring caught only in pound
or hand nets. The menhaden people buy these
refuse herring. and permitted to grind them,
hut at no time to catch herring under the heavy
penalty of from $1,000 to $4,000 for each Of
fcr5e- and revocation Of license. III addition,
no person firm have In their possession
other food fish greater than one per centum
for the purpose Of manufacturing into guano
or oil This also carries the penalty; and
there are other restrictions in statutes equal
/ ly as heavy against the menhaden people. all
of which are vigorously carried out
The commission of fisheries will advise the
next legislature to prohibit even the buying and
grinding OF refuse herring hereafter. owing to
the ignorant clamor. To this same fact--the
widespread misconception of the menhaden pur-
suit, due to unfair newspaper articles and the
overzealous crusade of government authori
tIes-it is probable that. among other things
n close season will be advised one-inch bar fol
nets and revision of the Gull law as to sizes o.
all fish.
Il Virginia has already the most advanced
statutes of any State fish conservation, ant
they are reasonably we'll executed notwfthstand
ing the efforts OF enemies and faddists TO de
tract from her credit. Being most favorabl,
located for the catching OF fish leading all othe

CAN RE ENFORCED.

Whenever a State law for the suppression Of
any evil OF for the bringing OF any good Is de-
handed we are met with tho old, old state
mcnt which has gathered by constant re-
iteration more force than truth, warrants that
a law not sanctioned by the public opinion OF
the numerous communities affected cannot be
enforced. Sometimes II is advanced sincerely
and sometimes Is used as the last fertilization
Of tho defeated. But whatever the reason for
Il VIC are compelled to listen to It
It is being used just in opposition TO the
enactment of Statewide compulsory education
law. Any county or city may enact such law
now, If 1t sees ct, We are told. and the fact
that but two cities and two counties have
enacted It Is proof that the others do not want
it and would not have 1t in anything but name
anyway. Is this true? Does the fact that
wherever the question has been put to vote
OF the people Of the community 1t has been car
ried by from three to ten 10 one mean nothing
At oil? Does 1t not mean rather that other
communities have not adopted It because Of In
difference rather than because OF opposition
We do not believe that more than a small part
OF the people of Virginia oppose compulsory
education Certainly, there is no indication
Of any such fact, Should the State legislature
enact Il compulsory education law there Is nc
reason to believe that 1t would not BE- enforced
as we'll as any other law the statute books
That it would not prove sufficiently effective
to compel every child In the State TO attend
should not worry those who claim that We
have not adequate accommodations for all, W.
have accommodation for 100000 more than at
tend now

PEOPLES FORUM
The Saloon Must Go.

Editor of the Virgnan:
Sir,-Attendance upon the great convention at
Columbus inspired the faith that what the con-
vention proclaimed to the American people will
come TO pass in the elimination of the licensed
saloon from the entire United States by 1920.
And why not? Have not some entire States de-
clared already against 1t, and large parts of all
the States? Do not the liquor people of our
State fear the result OF vote on this issue. and
are they not doing what they can to prevent
the passing Of the enabling act? But such an
.unrighteous procedure Will not prevail The
slogan has gone forth that the saloon must
GO" The people are now educated to its enor.
nifty. and see IN It foo to all that is good;
breeder of disorder and a. pirate all other
business
The catalogue OF its crimes and rniseries are
beyond estimating. Why should It have a
friend? Tho liquor men themselves acknowledge
It n bad business. and but for the money they
reap from it, would gladly abandon q business
which carries with 1t such odium. They know
the fruitage of their traffic better than any
other people, save the mothers of wrecked homes
and destitute children.
For generations this business tolerated
and palliated revenue furnishing grounds
But education and investigation demonstrates
that apart from It's being undesirable business
It cost the State very far IN excess Of what II
supplies in revenue in looking after the product
OF the Observation-Disclosures, paupers, insane and
the nonproducing element of society. II the
energetic effort which we shall witness soor
had been inaugurated years ago, how much suf
fering and misery would have been averted
for TO properly show up this business to ar
enlightened public there would be in the name
Of God and humanity but verdict "Tht
saloon must CO." and II will go.
