ENFORCE THE GULL LAW
AND SAVE THE OYSTERS
Fear Expressed That Maryland
Waters Of Chesapeake Bay
Will Be Damaged.

Fear is expressed by those acquainted
with the oyster industry that unless there
is more rigid enforcement of the oyster
Gull law in the Maryland waters of Ches-
apeake bay the oyster beds of the state
will be SO badly damaged that years will
be required to work them again into good
condition. it is asserted that in spite of
the Gull law thousands of bushels of
undersized oysters are being dredged and
shipped to market, the law requiring
small oysters to be thrown back on the
beds being entirely disregarded.
Hundreds of Boats at Work.
Hundreds of dredge boats are ravish-
ing the beds, and oysters which they
should Gull and throw back to grow are
placed on the open market.
1t is no surprise. it is stated. that there
is great scarcity of select oysters. and
there never will be an abundance Of them
until the law requiring that all oysters
less than two and /, half inches Iona
be left on the beds is carried out IT is
charged that n vast quantity OF oysters
now being brought to this market and
to oyster houses down the bay are little
more than seed and should tie left on the
beds to mature.
Potomac Conditions.
While some small oysters are being
brought to the market here, it is stated
that the Gull law is being better observed
on the Potomac. Most of the oystermen
as a matter of self protection. if not
from obedience to regulations, Gull the
oysters they take in order to make a
supply for future years.

RIPLEY THE PROPHET

1t is refreshing to meet chronic
pessimist like President Ripley Of
the Santa Fe. He is the Gloomy
Gus Of Big Business. Others like
President James j. Hill of the
Great Northern, have their seasons
of despair, but even with them now
and then a ray of hope pierces the
black clouds of melancholy. Not
so with Mr.. Ripley:
Government ownership of all
railroads is coming, as certain as
fate. What is there to prevent it?
The legislatures hamper and cut
our profits and labor unions take
what is left. We are practically
between the Gevil and the deep sea.
But government ownership will
fail. . - 1t will be a great
thing for stockholders, because the
people always pay well, hut l warn
you it will be bad for the people
because, the usual standard of
inefficiency mai attained by the gov
eminent will be employed in OPP
Grating the roads"
Matters are as bad as they can
be, but there is worse to come.
General business conditions are fine
and prosperity is rampant" says
Mr.. Ripley, but before long the
railroads in disgust will all turn
over their property to the govern
ment, and then the public will see
what happens. There is nothing to
make life worth living, and the
longer you live the worse it will be.
The country is going straight to
the dogs and disaster and ruin are

railroad man can see ahead. 1t is

FAST TRIP THROUGH BRITAIN

A dash around London, a flying de-

those who want to see the country

the idea is catching on with Ameri.

first suggested 1t.
Assuming that the tourist begins
his trip on Monday, he devotes that
day to the show places of London,
winding up with theater in the eve
ming. On Thursday he goes to Wind.
sor and Hampton Court and on his
return to London has time to go to a
music hall. On Wednesday he leaves
London for Peterborough, sees the
cathedral and gets to York at three
o'clock.
At York the tourist has plenty of
time to visit the Minister and other
historic buildings before catching the
6:15 train to Hamburger. He coaches
through the Trossachs and takes
steamer through Loeb Katrine and
Loeb Lomond. Then the train to
Glasgow.
After dinner the hustler takes the
night train out of Glasgow by way of
Androssan to Belfast, reaches Dublin
in the afternoon and takes the night
train to Killarney.

It would not be wise to build upon

a common gibe on the Continent that
Englishpen had tails. It originated
from the story that the people of
Canterbury or Strood, having Knocked
at st. Thomas riding upon a little ass
and cut off It's tail, were punished
with the curse that thenceforth all
their boys should be born with tails.
And the SCOTS Of other Englishmen at
the 'Kentish longtails" rebounded up
on the whole nation, 30 that even In
the time Of Edward VI Englisbmen
abroad suffered from the taunt.
