The Newark Star, Newark, n. j.:
Gentlemen-Regerdin a petition,
received by you, from employees of
Edison Photograph Works. objecting
to Assembly bills 622, 623 and ga, and
published in your paper, would call
your attention to a few facts, as fol-
lows:
First-That these laws would per-
init the farmer, who is too busy in
summer. to take few fish (pickereD
while he has the time to devote to
some form of sport, and at the time
of year when that fish Is at it's best
for food, he who pays the taxes on
our ponds, and on the land around
our lakes, should receive some consid-
Grafton.
Second-That the black bass re-
ferred to is not winter feeder and
is rarely taken through the ice.
Third-These petitioners would i'm
ply that the sportsmen living in the
country do not observe the law. And
for their information | would state
that our game wardens find more in
fractions of the fish and game laws
by parties from the cities than any
other class; they come to our lakes
and catch a number of small pickerel,
most of which just escape the legal
length, and many are found that do
not
How many of these petitioners ever
devoted a day of their time in re-
placing the fish they take? Do they
apply for fish and game to stock the
waters and woods? Do they take
the fish and game so secured and
liberate it and see that it gets food
In winter? Do they know that more
fish have died an some lakes in North
Jersey because they were frozen so
solid that the oxygen consumed by
the fish could not be replaced than
was ever taken from those lakes
through the ice? The ice fisherman
by cutting n few holes would relieve
this condition.
Fourth--That these bills do not per-
NIT set lines as said petition would
imply, but as amended they permit
| the use of ten lines, one hook on a
| line, and are under the observation
of the fisherman, who shall not take
more than ten pickerel in one day.
| The sportsmen of North Jersey
| feei that they should have some form
of sport or recreation between the
hunting and trout fishing seasons.
| And they believe that the picllerel
50 taken in winter will not be detri-
mental to the summer fishing; also
| that the larger fish so taken will
thereby be kept from feeding on the
smaller ones.
The writer is part owner of three
lal1es or ponds in North Jersey, the
same are entirely under his personal
control and are stocked with game
! fish, If 1 thought these laws harm
ful to the fishing at any season
would certainly oppose them.
Trusting that you will see it as
your duty to all the sportsmen tC
| publish both sides of any question
| giving this the same consideration
as said petition, ! am, very respect.

Fifty years ago the Davidson sistera
Margaret Miller and Lucretia
Maria-were well known to the Amer
lean reading public. These two sisters
whose poems were published in 1850,
were natives of Plattsburgh, n. Y,
The most remarkable thing about
them was that theiW poetry was en-
tirely the poetry of childhood, fey
Lucretia died when she was Seven
teen, and Margaret was but fifteen
when she died.
Margaret Davidson was born March
Is, 1928, and like her older sister, was
from early infancy a delicate and
frgile child. Her mental development
was remarkable. however, and before
she was ten years old her mind was
full Of poetic ina gination, She was
familiar with the works of Milton,
Scott and Byron, and it was her am
bition to write as they had written.
Before she was ten she wrote a play
called THE Tragedy of Alethea' in
two days, and it was performed soon
after by her little friends under Mar
garets direction. The play itself and
the performance were remarkably
credible Considering the tender
age at h'ch Margaret died critics
agree that she is without her equal
in the history OF litera ture.

o my dear the world today
Is more lovely than dream
Magic hints from far away
Haunt the woodland while the stream
Mumurs in his rocky bed
Things that never can be said.
Starry dogwood is in flower,
Cleaning through the mystic woods
1t is beauty's perfect hour
In the wild spring solitudes
Now the orchards in full blow
Shed their petals white as snow.
All the air is honey-sweet
With the lilacs white and red,
Where the poisoning branches meet
In arbor overhead.
And the laden cherry trees
Murmur with the hum of bees
All the earth is fairy green,
And the sunlight hlmy gold,
Full of ecstases unseen,
Full Of mysteries untold
Who would not be outof-door
Now the spring is here once more!

The Camera Film Case.

From the Philadelphia Record
It is very nearly twenty-five years
since the sensitized film for photogra-
ply was perfected. From that time
to this the rightful ownership of the
patent has been in dispute. The
courts have only just made a final
decision that Rev. Hannibal Goodwin
was the inventor, and the assignee
of his patents is the rightful owner
Mr.. Goodwin died dozen or fifteen
years ago, having received no ben
e1t from his invention, or very little.
Cannot the legal system of the United
States do better than that? Can't
1t decide any mans right to anything
In a great deal less than twenty-five
years-say, in five years? 1t is said
that Mr.. Goodwin was for a long
time without sufficient means to
prosecute his case. But if that is true
it is more serious indictment of our
judicial system than mere dlatori-
ness. A judicial system ought to do
Justice whether one of the litigaiits
is poor or not. Cannot the judges
and lawyers of this country devise
system under which a man of small
means can have it determined
whether he is the owner of q valua-
BILE patent or not within some rea-
scnable period, say, five years? Bar
associations and judicial commissions
have from time to time discussed
this subject and recommended things
and nothing practical and substan-
tial has been done. Why could not
Mr.. Goodwin and the other claimants
have gone before a judge and stated
their cases and got a decision in
ninety days?

Poets Today

Butler Glaenzer, the well-lnown
poet and essayist, listened with his
calm smile at the Players Club in
New York to sonneteer who
lamented that a magazine had only
paid him cent a line for a sonnet
cycle.
Mr.. Glaenzer did not seem at all
purturbed at these starvation rates.
He blinked his eyes rapidly behind
his prince-nez, smiled his calm smile,
and said in his calm voice:
My dear fellow, don't you know
that the only successful poet now
adays is he who is able to make q
living at something else?"

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES
War ON DOgfish Urged.
- FT4., 1Nt..os.s

From the Troy Times
A bill pending in Congress provides
for a bounty of SO per ton on dogfish
and is designed to encourage war
upon the creatures, which are recog-
nized as among the most persistent
and destructive enemies of edible
fish. The dogtish belong to a species
OF small sharks and have the family
characteristics of righteousness and
voracity. They are particularly
abundant along the New England
coast and are found in specially large
numbers near Cape Cod. They take
their name from their habit of trav-
cling in schools or packs, working
enormous havoc where cod and other
food fish have their haunts. lions
Herald has been giving the matter
attention and hopes the bill in Con-
gress will be passed, saying:
I'VE are allowing our fisheries to
be decimated by this scourage of the
sea. The theoretical scientist an
tagonizes the man of practical ideas,
and year after year blocks the legis-
lation which might bring the desired
relief. Meanwhile, in every fishing
hamlet along the North Atlantic
coast the fishing vessels in the sum
mer time swing idly at anchor or
are hauled up on the beaches, while
their owners swing their heels as they
sit upon the cap logs of the wharves.
For to go out into the vast swarm
of dogfish is but to lose valuable
gear, waste gasoline and gain nothing
il return The only way to con-
serve the supply of good fish is to
destroy the other kind, and the pro-
posed bounty is regarded as an eff.
fectiye means to a desired end.

Whom Genluses Made Money.

Kenyon Cox in April scribner's
With the exception of Rembrandt,
who himself lived in a time of po-
litical revolution and of the emer-
gence to power of a burgher class,
you will scarce find an unappreciated
genius IN the whole history of art
until the beginning of the nineteenth
century. The great masters of the
Renaissance, from Giotto to Vero-
nese were men of their time, sharing
and interpreting the ideals of those
around them. and were recognized
and Datronized as such. Rembrandts
greatest contemporary. Rubens, was
painter in ordinary to half the courts
of Europe. and Velasquez was the
friend and companion of his king.
Vatican and Boucher and F'ragonard
painted for the frivolous nobility OF
the eighteenth century Just what that
nobility wanted. and even the precur-
sors of the Revolution. sober and
honest Chardin. Greuze the senti-
mental, had no difficulty in making
themselves understood. until the revo-
lutionist David became dictator to
the art of Europe and swept them
into the rubbish heap with the rest.
1t is not until the beginning of
what is known as the Romantic
movement under the Restoration,
that the misunderstood painter of
genius definitely appears. Millet,
Corot. Rousseau. were trying. with
magnificent powers and perfect
single mindedness, to restore the art
of painting which the Revolution had
destroyed. They were men of the
utmost nobility and simplicity Of
character. as far as possible from the
gloomy. fantastic. vain and egotisti
cal person that we have come to ac-
cept as the type of unappreeiated
genius; they were classically minded
and conservative. worshipers of the
great art of the past; but they were
without a public and they suffered
bitter discouragemeAt and long
neglect. Upon their experience is
founded that legend of the unpopu-
larity of all great artists which has
grown to astonishing proportions.

Lower Tolls Fail in suez cana,

FROM Ine Engineering News.
What makes the falling off in traffic
through the Suez canal quite remark
able is that 1t occurred just after the
rate of toll on vessels passing through
the canal had been reduced which
might have been expected to stinu-
late the traffic. The figures for the
number of vessels, total tonnage and
total receiuts from tolls for the last
three years are as follows:
1911. 1919. 1918.

Had this falling off occurred a year
later 1t would have been ascribed, of
course, to the opening to traffic of the
Panama canal. AS it is, the cause
must be sought elsewhere, and it is
doubtless found in some slackening
in the phenomenal activity in inter-
national trade which prevailed in
1912.

SPEAKER CLARK
 FIGHTS GAG RULE
Says Will Oppose Any Effort to Shut Of Debate on Canal Joils Bill by
 Limiting Debate to Two Hours.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-What promises to be the greatest debate in congress for many years opened today when the Democratic leaders of the House attempted to put through a motion limiting the debate on the ca nal tolls question to two hours.
 Speaker Champ Clark has taken the lead in the objection to the efforts to gag congress in order to pass the bill as proposed by the administration In making known his position the speaker stated: '1 shall oppose with all my effort any attempt to ram such a rule down the throats of the mem bers of congress"
 The speaker was applauded by members on both sides of the House when he made the statement.
 The advocates of free tolls claim that the railroads. the oil trust and the owners of American shipping are the only ones to benefit by the law and that 1t should be repealed
 It is generally believed. however that far graver reasons are behind the attempt at this time to repeal the law. It is known that President Will son has called to his office many op- poncnts of the repeal who. while re fusing to give any explanation, have changed front.
 Upon the passage of the canal tolls bill, 1t is believed, depends the settle ment of many diplomatic disputes be- tween this government and European powers.
