The Shad Blockade.

Europe. but the thousand square
miles Of fish traps spread along the
lower bay regions Is the agency
that may very likely prevent the
coming OF the shad TO the upper
streams that they viii be seeking

ago the Susquehanna and North
east rivers were the greatest shad
and herring spawning waters along
the entire Atlantic coast. Last year
the run OF shad TO these upper wa.
tiers was so meager that some OF the
fisheries In that region were kept
going at a loss.
Shad are now In the Baltimore

Going Back to the Land?

Comes the first breeZes Of spring, a
few warm days, little sunshine and
the city fellow pushes aside his evening
paper and redreams those dreams Of
going back to the soil, where indepen-
dence, a good living and Gods outdoors
are waiting for him.
He's tired of the noise and hustle, the
tumut and uncertainty Of the city. He
sees only the well-flled granaries, the
fattened stock, the pals of creamy milk,
the loaded cellar-and everlasting in
surance against the wolf of poverty.
Sometimes he sees Alright, but not
always. Farming is d mans game-and
that means that it is game in which it
is easy to lose; a game in which thou
sands do lose every year.
Most Of these losers are men who do
not know how TO farm and farm WELL for
in farming il is just as necessary to
know your business as in banking, medi-
cine, railroad building or the law.
You may be the most willing man on
earth, the hardest worker, and yet plas-
ter the best farm in this state under
mortgages deep enough to bury yourself.
OF course, there is such thing as
learning how to farm. IL you want to
go back to the land, and stick there, the
very best thing you can do while you're
still on your city job Is to study farming;
fill your brain full Of agricultural knowl-
edge. When you have done that you are
about ready to make the barest start on
the land.
1t can't be done in summer, but in
the meantime most of us have back
yard in which we can practice what
agricultural teachers preach.

Enough of Diplomacy.
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
(Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Diplomacy must go.
The extant system, where each nation
maintains diplomats at the capital Of
every other nation. is out of date, cum
bersome and trouble-making.
Ii originated in times when there
were no railroads. steamships, post
Offices, telegraph lines, and wireless.
Ii is about as useful now as a town
crier.
Ii is "a complex tangle of relation
ships, misstatement, and misconcep-
tons, arising from the ill-coordinated
activities of double system Of agents."
as H. G.. Wells puts it.
IL is based upon the theory that state
craft is "A secret game, that the affair."
of nations are managed by kings and
privy councils without the knowledge of
the people, and that at any time two or
three statesmen can plunge whole
populace into war TO gain strategic
advantage.
II was conceived in the inordinate
vanity of autocracy and born in the sin
of absolutism.
Incalculabe destruction in Europe to-
day is the price of entrusting the destiny
of the people to the scheming of few
Instead Of every nation sending
diplomats to every other nation and i'm
periing the safety Of citizens in an in
extricabe tangle of intrigue, how much
more sensible it would be for each coun-
try 10 send its accredited and respon-
sible representatives TO The Hague, or
TO some other central point, where
international questions could be openly
and fairly adjusted!
Any such central place would be now
only a few minutes from Petrograd,
Washington. London, Constantinople,
Toxic, and all the ends of the earth.
No business house would endure the
expensive, stupid, and unsatisfactory
machinery with which states transact
their affairs.
Why does the world continue to do
business with moth-eaten system that
no wholesale merchant would tolerate !
II is time 10 get rid of the ideas OF
glory, national pride. prestige and chau-
vinism, and TO recognize that 1T is the
PEOPLE whose interests are TO be kept
in mind, and not dynasties and flags.
II is not the United States whose
honor and prestige are TO be maintained:
| il is the PEOPLE IN THE UNITED
STATES. So of Germany, so OF Russia.

Would the COMMON PEOPLE of Ger
many, England, or Austria ever have
VOTED FOR WAR? Was the war en-
tered into BY them and FOR them?
To quote again from MIR. Wells: The
novel frankness of collective meeting
has now become possible as way OF
doing the worlds business, because OF
the development of the means OF COM
munication and transportation. The en-
bassy in a foreign country, as a sort or
eye and finger at the heart OF the host
country, is now clumsy, unnecessary,
