THE STATE AND THE FISH QUESTION.

Fish are among the great natural resources of a
country, which include minerals, forests and water
power These latter can be pre-empted by private
capital The fish the brings to shores are
always public property. There be no private
monopoly unless it is arbitrarily seized upon, and
then the State quickly end it,
To the shores of New Jersey every year the ocean
brings vast schools of food fish that swarm in our
waters The supply is abundant that the trust.
which controls the fisheries supply the market,
fill its storage houses to repetion and then destroy
vast quantities, in order to maintain high prices
Today the Newark fish brought direct from the
coast fisheries sold for six cents pound. In the
kets the fish that bought from the trust sell prices
ranging from twelve cents to twenty cents. And
there have been threats of much higher prices This
and sold the natural way and fish bought and sold
by monopoistc trust and the trust pockets the diff
ference.
The governor of the State has been appealed to to
call special session of the Legislature put end
to this systematic extorton. He has been fully in
formed about the practices of the fish trust which
grevousy Expresses the people of the State New
York official has called his attention to the methods
by which food is made dear to the people for the
enrichment of few men in New York.
The governor knows that immensely valuable
State asset is being exploited to the injury of the
State as we'll its people. He has been told that
by the action of governor and Legislature the State
fisheries provide very large additional income
for the State government while afording the people
cheaper food. Why the governor takes notice is
mystery to the public.

Curious Gaelic Alphabet

A very curious and distinguished
characteristic of the Gaelic alphabet
is that nearly every letter thereof is
represented by tree. While the
alphabet of ancient Gaelic comprised
but seventeen letters, that of modern
Gaelic has eighteen. But with the
new, as with the old. forms the letter
is represented by tree. The excep-
lions are g. IT. and "u," which
stand for ''ivy," "furze' and
heather"
The alphabet now stands: Aim
bette, coll, dur, eagh, fearn. gath
huath, iogh. luis, NUN, NUN. DIV
peith, ruis. suil, teine. ur. all of which
is equal to saying: Elm, birch, hazel
oak. aspen, alder, ivy, whitehorn. yew
rowan, or quicken, vine, ash. spindle
tree. pine, elder, willow. furze. heath
In the old Gaelic alphabet the letter
"h" (the huath or whitehorn) does
not exist. The alphabet is called the
beth luis-nuin because 3D." a." IN
and not "a "b' &C. are the first
three letters.

Will you say that man who has
successfully conducted, or assisted
in the conduct of large business, is
not competent to fill the position of
surrogate?
Perhaps in answering the foregoing
questions you can enlighten the vot-
ers of the county of Essex why the
surrogate should be lawyer, because
| have not as yet heard any good
reason advanced why the surrogate
should be a lawyer.
l may add that number of law
yers have stated to me that they were
very much surprised to be Informed
by one of the communications signed
Citizen that the records of thu
Essex county surrogate's office 'are
lamentably defective" because 1t is
said that State Comptroller Edward
r. Edwards considers the surrogate's
office of Essex county one of the

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Man Who Would Not Break His Word

Some years ago a good friend of
John d. Rockefeller recommended,
not entirely as a joke, but half seri-
ously, that Mr.. Rockefeller incor-
porate himself, so that thereby he
could more conveniently direct his
personal business affairs. When this
advice was mentioned to another of
Mr. Rockefeller's friends he said that
he thought that perhaps Mr.. Rocke-
feller's best course would be one in
imitation of that adopted all his life
by the late Daniel Drew. who was
reported never to have kept any
books. He made few memoranda and
he frequently utilized the palm of his
hand as a deposit place for these
memoranda.
| happened to be speaking of this
incident to Asa Potter, formerly a
bank president of Boston, now re-
tired from active life, and | observed
that the anecdote had reminded Mr..
Potter amusingly of something which
fell within his own experience, for he
began to laugh heartily.
II have recently told you two or
three anecdotes associated with the
late George p. Norman, who, when
he died, was esteemed one of the
richest men in New England-a real
multi-millionaire. said Mr. Potter.
Nov, Mr.. Norman would never have
partner. He built many water
works systems with his own capital
exclusively, and after he had done
so he would dispose of these works
to the communities in which they
were located. He gained national no.
toriety by constructing the great
water works at Newport after some
of the engineers had reported that,
as the city was situated on a little
island where there was no watershed,
1t was impracticable to build n reser-
voir and aqueduct there

as his business operations
were, he never kept any books. He
had little memorandum book in
which items were jotted down, but
that was all He knew to the last
cent what was owed to him and he
knew to the day and hour when he
had payments to make.

THE DANGER OF FALLING INTO RUTs

is true, you say yoG had others de-
pending upon you; that you had to
work hard and had no chance 10 learn
anything else; that your routine work
absorbed all your time and energies.
But, my friend, hundreds Of young
men in similar situations have man
aged to keep out of ruts.} They hnve
kept their minds growing by com
slant self-improyemen: until they
have made what, to you, has been a
rut, a stepping stone FOR them TO
something higher.
If you had kept your eyes open,
your mind open, your faculties alert,
if you had formed the habit of A.. in
curing mind at the very outset OF
your career, If you had been deter
mined to use your position only as a
stepping stone to something higher,
you would not have gotten into rut
Many people seem to think that
anything that does not bear directly
on their work is no concern of theirs.
There is no hope of advancement for
them because they have not prepared
themselves for the next step above
them. During their rutty years, when
they have been receiving practically
the same salary, Office boys, cash
boys, boys who have entered the es-
adjustment for three or four or five

above them. The boys who have ad-
vanced have kept out of ruts be-
cause they would not allow their
minds to become rutty They have
kept growing, and up with the times,
and have grasped every opportunity
to make themselves more intelligent
and more expert in their speciality.
Employees often think that they are
kept down designedly, and that others
less deserving are pushed ahead of
them, when the real trouble is with
themselves. They have ceased to
grow. They continue to move in
circle. They have not kept pace with
the trend of the times.
Forward is the bugle cab. OF the
twentieth century. The young man
or woman, or the old man or woman,
who has ceased to grow is to be
pitied. Life holds nothing more for
either.

Why the Bank Refused Information.
From the Indianapolis News.
Mr.. Samuel M. Foster, president
of the German-American National
Bank, of Fort Wayne, recently re-
ceived a confidential inquiry" from
our old friend. Wilbur F. Wakeman,
of the American Protective Tariff
League, asking as to his payroll for
a certain week this year as COM
pared with the corresponding week
last year. We" wrote MIR. Wake
man, earnestly ask your co-opera-
ton in this inquiry" He did not get
much ''co-operation.' but he did get
an answer. Mr.. Foster wrote.
1T would be more creditable to
your organization if it would use its
funds along lines that would tend to
decrease any tendency toward bust
ness depression that may exist,
rather than along lines that have a
strong influence toward increasing
this tendency. The purpose of your
inquiry is so clearly political, and
the intent to discredit the present
administration and recent legislation
so apparent, that this bank declines
to have anything to do with 1T, and
feels justified in giving expression to
its lack of sympathy with your eff
forts. 1t is such movements by such
organizations as yours that justify
the charge that there is being made
a systematic and disloyal effort to
create a condition of mind in the
people of the country that will bring
about and intensity spirit of COM
mercial depression. No more dis
creditable and dishonorable thing
could be attempted by men claiming
to he loyal citizens of the republic.
As you very we'll. know, to spread
broadcast over the country any evil
dence of argument tending to show
the existence of business depression
only tends to produce and heighten
this depression. That this is your
intention and purpose is revealed

In the early days of our history,
when the roads of Nantucket Island
were few, and those not of the best,
notices were posted at various points
on the sandy plains, warning pas
sengers not to "rut the road" THE
evident idea," some one says, was
that you would make better progress
yourself and be more considerate OF
others if you would take 4 fresh path
each time you went over The PLAIN
instead of going again and again in
the same tracks,"
We all know the danger of falling
into ruts. If it is not literally true
that familiarity breeds contempt
there can be no doubt that in many
instances long familiarity with our
surroundings makes us insensible to
their defects. If the mind is not kept
flexible and thoroughly responsive TO
new ideas, by means of contact with
other minds; if it is not kept alive
by constant effort to reach the high
est ideals formed in youth, not only
will ones business, trade, profession
or occupation suffer, but the whole
man will also gradually deteriorate.
The brain, like the muscles of the
body, grows only by use. AS soon as
a man ceases to exercise his highest
faculties IN the pursuit OF ms choSSh
work both his brain and his work
lose little by little until he ceases to
be able to measure himself by other
men or to judge of his work or BUSH
ness from an unprecedented standpoint.
When he has reached this stage
growth is at an end; deterioration
has already made rapid strides.
A bookkeeper has asked for advice.
He says he has been in the same posi-
ton for twenty-five years with prac-
tically no raise of salary; that he is
hopelessly in a rut because he has
not had an opportunity to learn any
thing outside of what he has ac-
quired in keeping books in the small
establishment where he started as a
boy.
This man is a type of tens of thou
sands of people who drift into ruts
and never get out But why, my
friend, did YOU get into this rut? 1t
