Republicans No More.

The Journal World, of Lawrence,
Kansas, formerly one of the leading
Republican papers in Kansas, says:
"This paper is just as sorry as it can
be that the Republican party died. 1t
has been loyal to the party for many
years and it has no words of censure
now, for the record of the party was
the greatest of the country. We
have hoped against hope that the Re-
publicans would fire their leaders and
turn their faces once more to the
front. They are not doing it. They
are living in the past and like the
garrulous old man are always telling
about what the party has done. 1t
has done all these things and the
Journal World honors it for doing
them, but this is an outstanding, for
ward looking age and the party to
command respect must not always
be looking backward. No great
battle can again be fought on the
tariff question. That must give place
to the prominent problems rising out
of the facts unearthed by the Wilson
administration"

The Fish Law Inadequate.

Emmett @. Higgins, Deputy Game
and Fish Warden, in letter to the st.
Louis Republic, has this to say in re-
gard to the violations of the fish law:
81 note you devote considerable space
to killing of fish with shigh-power rifles
and dynamite. Now, l do not know
what the other wardens are doing; I
speak for myself. I have brought sew
eral cases up in different counties of
this State. I have not yet found a
prosecuting attorney who will prose-
cute them. They all say it is not vi
olation of law to shoot fish. The spe-
cific way must be set out or the in
strument or method of killing must be
plainly stated in order to make it a
crime If it is a violation to kill fish
with gun, the State must so specify,
and they cite references to bear them
out. I call to mind case had a
short time ago. caught prominent
citizen killing fish with high-power
gun. His case was presented to the
prosecuting attorneys who refused to
bring the matter up in court. He told
me if he was inclined to bring action,
the Judge of that court would throw
it out, as he had talked to the Judge,
who told him it was no violation to
shoot fish and he did not want such
cases in his court. went to another
county and there presented case to
the prosecuting attorney OF that
county. He told me the same thing,
and there was also different Judge
in that circuit who held the same
views as the first. Invent to another
county and found similar conditions
there, only the prosecuting attorney
/ went a step further and instructed all
who cared to shoot fish to do 80, as it
was no violation of the law. A game
warden is absolutely helpless. If a
law is passed plainly stating in SO
many words that fish cannot be killed
with guns then something can be
DONE"

BOSTON, August 8.-The head of the
United Shoe Machinery Company
testified that Endicott, johnson & Co.
are the largest shoe manufacturers in
the world, and as the Shoe Machinery
Corporation must have the record
from its machines it must know.
A customer recently wrote asking
Henry B. Endicott his views on the
general situation. Mr.. Endicott's re-
sponse is SO at variance with the pess-
imism one hears in Wall Street and
State Street that we have obtained a
copy of this letter and give it in full,
as follows:
"Answering your inquiry as to how
I feel in regard to future business
conditions, would say that / believe
we are on the eve of a very large
business expansion.
"Critics, it always seems to me,
have an easy job. I attended a base
ball game yesterday, and sat on the
bleachers and it was surprising how
much more about the game the men
around me knew than the umpire or
the players.
''Such being the case in the base
ball business, it is not surprising to
find so many men that think they can
improve upon the job of the Presi-
dent.
IT am not writing you this letter to
defend the President. I question
whether any defense from me would
do any good, but do believe that a
lot Of opportunities are wasted by the
country as whole, spending toe
much time criticising the present ad-
ministration.
"There is no need for me to write
You about 1.-THE crops and the effect
this will have on the purchasing pow
or Of the country. These effects are
exploited every day in the papers, but
in my judgment, it is the combina-
tion of all these things mentioned
that will bring forth the large ex'
pansion in business which firmly be-
lieve Is comig to this country.
my belief is, that if the American
people, as whole, whether they are
for or against the administration
whether they are free traders or pro.
tectionists, whether they are trus
presidents or day laborers, will JUS
stop wasting there time talking abou
the hard things that have come to. u
and realize the facts as they are, W,
will see the largest business that this
country has ever had.
81 don't mean by the above state
ments that think we are going to
have an easy time doing business il
this country. On the contrary,
think competition will be keener thai
ever, but the business houses built OF
economical lines will be in shape t,
get this competition. In my judgmen
the old-fdshioned extravagantly man
aged concerns will have to fall by th
wayside.
II believe that by October we shal
see 9 very heavy business in full

he dashed past them. He was up the

One of them Ned grappled and

At just that juncture Bob Alton ar
