With remarkable facility, demo-
cratic leaders change front on i'm
portant governmental questions and
endeavor to delude the American
people into the notion that they have
always been advocates Of the doc
trines to the support of which they
have been driven by public opinion.
Preparedness is one instance, and
creation Of tariff commission 10 an
other. After refusing to make ade-
quate appropriations for the national
defense and after declaring that the
military branch Of the government
had rot been neglected, the admins
tration suddenly reverses its attitude
and proclaims its intention TO make
preparedness an issue. II they are
seeking for some one to quarrel with
on that question, they must quarrel
with their own past record. Now
they announce an intention to make
the creation Of tariff commission an
issue. They forget that their own
party has been the only opponent OF
q tariff commission, and that such a
commission would now be in exist
euce but for their negative votes.

LOBSTER FisHERnES.


Fishing Season In Eastern Maine
Opens To-day.
The lobster nshing season in eastern
Maine opens to-day. By several private
and special acts Of the Legislature OF 1915,
practically all the waters OF Hancock and
Washington counties were closed to
lobster fishing during the months OF July
and August. Many Of the fishermen in
Hancock county have been engaged in
yachting At the summer resorts during
the summer.
In order to comply with the new lobster
license Law which was enacted by the
seventy -sevsnth legislature, every person
engaging in the lobster fishing industry
must procure q license from the commits
sioner Of sea and shore fisheries, Henry ID.
8. Woodbury., of South Portland. The
fee for this license is q, and the lies nse. is
void and OF no avail on the last day of
November next succeeding the issuance
thereof.
The law further provides that all the
apparatus used in the industry shall be
plainly marked with the name OF the
owner in full. equipment not marked IN
compliance with the law is subject to
seizure by the officers charged with the
enforcement OF the Law. Copies OF the
new law may be obtained from the COM
missioner OF sea and shore fisheries, and
every person entering into this industry
should secure . copy and carefully study
the same.
The application blanks for licenses may
Be obtained from the town clerks ct the
coast towns, and should, when made out,
be mailed to the commissioner, together
with the fee for license.
With the wardens having Statewide
Jurisdiction and with patrol boats operat-
ing along the coast, there Is little chance
OF any person fishing without license for
any length of time. A person who does
not comply with the Law in all respects
may have his license revoked, and in such
case cannot obtain another license and
have legal right to fish for Q period of
one year from the date Of the revolving OF
said license.
