TO IMPROVE STATE HATCHERIEs
Representative Peters Has An Inter-
esting Interview With the Com
missioner of Fisheries,

Harrisburg, Jan. 27.-During an
interview with N. r. Butler, Com
missioner of Fisheries, relative to the
establishing of State Hatchery for
the Delaware Valley Water Shed be-
tween Bushkill and LackawaXen, /
drew from him the following facts
which may be of interest to the read
ers OF your paper:
Mr.. Butler informs me that the
old hatcheries have to be entirely
reconstructed on new lines, incur
ring a large expense, for which he
expects to ask an increased approp-
ration of $65, 200, from the Legis-
lature. He expects to confine his
work to six hatcheries, the one at
Pleasant Mount, Wayne county, is
where he expects to furnish the fish
for our district. Here he expects to
increase the output to a very great
extent Sixteen acres are to be de-
veloped in ponds to give the fish the
proper growth, so that when they are
planted, they will be able to take
care of themselves. From here he
expects to supply the adjoining
counties with Trout, Bass, Wall-eyed
Pike.
At Bellefonte, Center county, will
be the central distribution of the
state. This will be enlarged and
will be used exclusively for Brook
Trout, as will the one at Corey,
Erie district.
At Erie City an auxiliary hatchery
will be constructed exclusively for
lake fish.
Union City, Erie, there will be
also another auxiliary constructed
for the purpose of propagating lake
fish. The fish industry of that To-
cality for lake fish is very large.
Mr.. Butler says that he wants the
State to take active measures in pur-
flying the streams and prevent adul-
teration. There are now ten con-
stabularies or wardens to look after
these interests. He wants that num-
ber increased to thirty 500 and have
careful report made from each
county of all pollution. For this he
expects from the Legislation an ap-
preparation of $4,000, an increase
of $4,000 from the present appro-
priation.
At the present time he has plenty
of trout and bass for planting, and
is anxious to have the applications
for their distribution as quickly as
possible.

A YEAR OF THIRTEEN MONTHS.

An international conference was
held in Switzerland for the consider
alton of the adoption of a perpetual
calendar. The change proposed
would make the year consist of thir-
teen months of twenty-eight days
each, making a total of 364 days a
year. The day left over would not
be counted in any month, but would
precede January 1, and be called
New Years Day. In leap year the
extra day would not be counted in
any month, but would follow the last
day of December. The new month
would occur between June and July.
AS an illustration of how this
would work in practice, let us be-
gin with the year 1916, which will
commence on Saturday. This day in
the new calendar would be simply
the opening day of the year; Sun
day, would then be the first day of
January.
Each month in the year would
have an equal number of days
twenty-eight; the months and the
weeks would always begin on Sun
day and end on Saturday, so that
any particular weekday of the
month would fall on the correspond
ing day of the next and of each
succeeding month. 1t would then
not be necessary to have a calendar
for each month"; as the days of each
month would be identical with those
of the first month.-Harper's Week
ly.

UNEXPECTED ACQUIEsCENCE

Although the indignation of Dem
ocratic members of the Legislature
over the resolution presented by Sen
ator William E. Crow, of Fayette
county, was not unexpected, it is de-
cidedly inconsistent.
The Democrats professed to be-
lieve that much money was being
wasted by the State in useless en-
ployes and in salaries out of all
proportion to services rendered.
They favored a commission on econ
omy and efficiency to look into the
whole matter and make report.
Senator Crow, without waiting for
them to formulate a plan of action,
presented one of his own, which cov-
ers the situation completely.
If it is the object of the Demo-
Gratis to save money for the State,
it should be immaterial to them on
whose motion action is taken. They
should be rejoiced, not peeved, to
find the majority members so ready
to lend their support to anything
which promises greater efficiency
and economy.
Credit for any group or individ-
ual is not the main thing, under the
Democratic declaration OF, principles,
but the welfare of the people," the
"best interests of the State" "econ-
omy and efficiency" without regard
to personal advancement or glory.
This being the case, the Demo-
Gratis should lend, not grudging, but
enthusiastic, support to the Grow
resolution telegraph.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1913.

President Taft's welcome in Phil
adelphia showed once more that he
is far from "down-and-outer," and
that whatever the people may have
thought of him as a President last
November, they respect and admire
him as a man. His speech at the
Glover Club dinner, like his celebrat-
ed "swan song" in New York, prov
ed again his rare good qualities as
a loser. Mr.. Taft is too big, too
courageous and too able to remain
long under a cloud of popular dis
approval.

PROSPERITY NEVER EoUALED.

Basing their estimates upon the
materials imported for manufactur-
ing purposes and upon the movement
of domestic materials from the points
of production to the factories, Off
cials of the Federal Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce have
arrived at the conclusion that Ameri-
cas- industrial prosperity for 1912
was never before equaled in the his
tory of the country.
The verdict is born out by all
methods of measurements, national
and local. One of the Philadelphia
newspapers has a correspondent in
vestigating conditions in various
States. He writes from Chicago
that State street property has just
been leased for ninety-nine years for
100000 front foot-a rental which
is without precedent, even in Chi
,cago.
In view of these facts, it seems
little short of a crime for Demo-
cratic leaders and newspapers to be
continually harping on the dangers
of panic. If they keep it up long
enough they may be able to produce
one, but it will be a panic with
which Republican policies and the
Republican Administration now
closing will have nothing to do.
Republicans everywhere are exert
ing themselves to the utmost to keep
business in a proper frame of mind.
The only panic talk one hears now
adays comes from the Democrats.
