THE LADIES.

Since Eve donned the first hg leaf, thereby
causing Adam to comment caustically in regard
to the difficulty OF gathering leaves, through the
varied sequences of loin cloth, toga. tapestry,
stays crinoline and hobhie the chief conversa
tion among men have been "the clothes OF wo
men" No age nor era dynasty nor administra
ton. has been without It's startling innovation.
and each one has been that which tongue OF
men has loved to talk Of
So In this age. as in all others, the attire OF
women comes in for the major share OF comment.
In tho summer the talk Is rampant as to Its
effect morals of young people; although why
the middie-aged do not come for their share OF
comment is matter OF mystery, and the women
themselves. In the winter the talk invariably
turns TO the righteousness Of womens clothes.
The change In talk is absolutely due to the
translucense.
At matter of fact, the dear ladies going
to wear what they choose. and we men are going
TO enjoy looking at them just as much as all
men have enjoyed looking at them, and we are
going TO admire them just as all have
oline Grecian bend or Tennis swagger. the effect
Is the same.
We discuss the matter thoroughly and. In gen
eral, deplore the fact that dress is going to the
"demnition bow-wows." but when the matter be
comes particular we find ourselves in line with
Adam and his long succession Of admirers
The whole matter is more deeply -ingrained
than know. this thing of admiring the clothes
Of women. and deep down inside OF us we still
bow down and worship. The old adage that
clothes do not make the man is much more
applicable to the woman Each year with its
Poirets and Luclles proves it. No matter what
these Transformers OF femininity invent, we
admire: Whether hobbies or crinoline. X-ray
or panner the ladies are the same. We have
seen them come from balloon sleeves to nc
sleeves at all: from skirts gored to the nth
power to skirts in which there was not room for
anything except comment, and we. and all others
like us, have admired
After all. 1t is the ladies we admire, and their
clothes cannot make us do otherwise.

Municipal Stores for the Poor,

Chicago is planning series of municipal
stores-4nore properly. distributing stations
scattered about she town, In which poor people
may buy food supplies and fuel at cost
The city is going to provide the modest amount
of capital needed to start the project. 1t will
take little, because absolutely but cash bus
mess will be done.
The plan Is to help people who need help
but who are not reduced to the necessity of TAX
ing aims The project looks to maintaining the
of people, while giving them sub
stantial aid.
Just how retail merchants might regard that
sort of interference with the regular pro-
cesses of trade has not been determined The
Chicago council is going to try out the plan
anyhow, and in cooperation with the fedora

A GOOD BEGINNING.

The HartMyers game bill, which is before the
general assembly for consideration, although,
probably. far from perfect means for the pro-
lection of game In Virginia. is at least stride
In the right direction and should be adopted.
There is crying need for game protection in
Virginia. and something should be done and
done right now.
The most promising feature OF the Hart-Myers
bill lis that 1t puts the matter OF game protec-
ton into competent hands, thereby providing
for the enforcement Of the game laws. The
fact that law Is In the statute books for the
protection of game does not mean that game is
protected. The law must be enforced and unless
it Is enforced 1t Is so much dead timber
One feature of the Hart-Myers BILL which
does not meet with approval. is that which
requires a tax upon mans guests when they
hunt on his own farm Either the farmer must
pay the tax himself, which is rather hard on
him, or the guest must pay it, which. to say
the least, is un-Virginian.
However matter about the errors In the
measure now. They are not many and they can
be remedied by legislative action. The Hart
Myers measure is about as good as any measure
in the beginning. What Virginia needs first and

If the Delaware and Hudson strike was so

its sudden surrender will make people think
that 1t was not sure of the facts Those GER

public that the railroads standing out for

there can be no doubt to which side sympathy
will incline. The difference between the New

Get the South to Work.

Mr. George Rommel, chief of the division of
animal hushandry of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, declares that the South
endorsed the opinion of former Secretary Will
son that in the future the people of the United
States must look to the South for their beef sup
ply. Mr.. Rommes concurrence in that idea
makes it about unanimous.
Former Secretary Wilson gave strong reasons
for saying that this country must ultimately
depend upon the South. He and the experts of
the department had carefully looked into the
possibilities of the South for cattle rals.ng and
their complete investigation of the subject. 1t
was arrived at In logical way and now that
it has been so often repeated and meets with
more declarations of the kind the At
lanta Constitution asserts 1.-The South has been
appraised of this destined supremacy so often
that the narration itself has become a old story
The thing now to do is to transmute prophecy
Into actuality.'
In order to fulfill that prophecy. the South
must become convinced of its adaptahty and
ability to carry 1T eHtv=TheFe ought to be an
organized movement to encourage the farmers
to raise the best breeds of cattle hogs and Sheep
A live stock association in each county and the
purcase OF breed animals will help to do the
work. Some counties in Georgia are stocking
the county farms with breed stock for the
benefit of the farmers and If the farmers will
operate by organizing breeding associations
of their own, 1t will not be very many years be-
fore the South boast of a new source Of
wealth.--Wilmington Star.

CURRENT COMMENT


The Report of the Commissioner of Fisheries
The fifteenth annual report OF the Virginia
commission of fisheries has just been issued. and
II Is most interesting document The financial
showing made for the past year is most crafty
ing and is highly creditable to the management
of the commissioner, w. Mcdonald Lee, and his
secretary, s. Wilkins Matthews, for it shows that
the receipts of the commission raised and
turned into the treasury of the State amounted
to s7s.702.25. while the expenditures. including
salaries, expenses, purchase of new boats httga-
ton and all other expenditures only came to
s44,212sa: leaving net profit to the State of
32,489.36, besides new floating property worth
some s3,5oo. This Is REALLY wonderful showing
and one that is not common among govern
mental bureaus, either State national
Few people appreciate the extent of the fishery
industry of Virginia, it's value to the State
The oyster industry alone gives employment to
more than forty-two thousand persons, and it's
products are worth nearly nine millions of dol
lars. To this must be added about six and a
half millions for the value OF the other fisheries
and we get approximately fifteen millions Of
dollars that coastal waters pour into the
bank accounts of the people of this State. With
the exception of agriculture, the fisheries make
the most important industry in Virginia, and In
this line easily lead the Union.
That this Is so is due TO two factors: edrca-
ton of the fishermen to their true interests,
and 5udicious legislation TO protect and foster
the fish life. Both of these are essential.
The fishermen learning however. that the
fin fishes are not mere acts of tyranny, but are
truly enacted in their interest, and with this
knowledge Is coming better observance of
them. and an increased harvest of the sea-
The report OF the commissioner Is hand
somely printed, elaborately illustrated pamphlet,
that will well repay careful study. Although
not so large or extensive the reports
issued by some other States, the ground is well
covered and the statistics we'll presented.
The growth of the value of Virginia fisheries
is shown clearly and 1t Is very gratifying.
| To considerable degree. If, indeed, not
entirely, this development has been due to the
intelligent, paSnstaking work of Mr.. Lee, our
commissioner. and Mr.. Matthews. the secretary.
Mr.. Lee has made himself thoroughly familiar
with Virginia fish and fisheries; indeed. he is to
Virginia what the celebrated DR.. T. III. Bean
is to New York, and the confidence reposed in
him by the legislature shown in enacting
his recommendations has been richly repaid in
the results. We certainly hope that the most
important industry OF the eastern portion of the
State will not be endangered by his removal
