WILL WE SAVE our FISH.

The speech delivered yesterday in
the hall OF tho House OF Delegates by
Deputy Fish Commissioner Il. Lester
Jones is so important to tho people
of Virginia and so surprising in its
disclosures that we shall print 1T in
full in our next Sundays issue.
MIR. Jones spoke frankly and feel
ingly as virgInian. but wi,h such n
mastery OF the facts and with such
convincing statistics that he could not
fail of making profound impression
on those who heard him. From his re-
marks, tho suicidal policy OF Virginia
In neElccting to preserve It's fish and
game appears lIttlo short of criminal.
Indeed, when one heard from him how
much Virginia has lost, one hesitnted
TO accept his hopeful forecast of fu
ture abundance as the result of wise
and immediate legislation.
We trust every member will read

Nc.a FOR comnetent lurora.

To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Slr,--Inasmuch as important cases
on the dockets OF our courts Of Justice
are tried by jurors who give verdicts
which settle the matter involved. it Is
seen at once by thoughtful. discerning
minds that the men who are intrusted
with such grave responsibilities should
be intellectually and morally qualified
for such tasks. So many verdicts rem
dercd by jurios coming under the no.
tice of this writer have so often been
a mere farce, that it seems ii is high
time to call attention to tho matter
In tho public press. Time and again
has ii been noted that there are Ger
tain classes who like satellites revolve
around our courthouses, always ready
to get n job as n juror in order to
make few dollars. These deadbeats
are not the kind or men we ought TO
have to serve on our turies. and this
is so palpably true that no argument is
needed to make IT plain.
Can't something be done by our poll
tical Solons in Richmond in framing Il
bill to improve our jury service by
setting higher educational anu
moral standard for men Sc
lected by our courts of Justice to per-
form so important service for their
fellownlen? In these days OF many
reforms II seems To this writer that 4
reform In this important matter
would be most opportune.
