EVERETT b. AKERs.

He has been away from the State
Journal office for a year, 1t Is true,
and during all that time he has been
hard pressed with tenacious disease.
But the news doesn't seem true that
Everett b. Akers is dead. 1t has an
impossible ring to it. Yet it is true.
The telegraph carried the message
here yesterday. And it brought a
heart-pain to those who had the priv
ilege Of knowing him: and especially
to us. his erstwhile fellow-workers in
the office where he labored SO faith
fully and efficiently for SO many
years. That he has gone. never to re-
turn.-well, it's something that Is Diff
ficult to believe, or rather to appre-
ciate.
1t is pretty hard, too, for a friend
and an admirer, and what is more, an
eternal debtor of Everett's to COM
pose a few words of tribute to his
memory. RecOllections of his I'M
bounded cheerfulness, his unfailing
kindness, his fine courtesy and the
lavishness of his good will crowd in
with such a rush that it seems impos-
sible to untangle them and set them
down in cold. hard print in the way
that they should be to do the man
justice. 1t is needless, though, to
write about them. Those who knew
Everett Akers. even slightly, are
thoroughly familiar with the rare
qualities of the manhood of which he
was possessed. He was a Christian
gentleman in the fullest sense of the
term. And how few there really are
who measure up to that standard.

Secretary Bryan must be figuring
on making woman's suffrage one Of
the paramount issues OF the next
presidential campaign, regardless Of
the fact that his chief, President Will
son. and the titular head. at least. of
the Democratic party. is scarcely luke
warm on the subject. In his recent
speech at Indianapolis, Mr.. Bryan
pushed this question to the fore by
declaring that the Democratic party
could ill-afford to stand with the
brewers and the saloonkeepers against
woman's suffrage. This also suggests
that Mr.. Bryan is likely to do his best
TO make prohibition another issue of
the campaign. And II he attempts to
line up the Democratic party for these
two issues. 1t 10 possible that there
will be as big q break in that party in
1915. as there was in the Republican
party in 1912. Regardless OF the
merits Of woman's suffrage and pro-
hibition. they are at variance with the
principles and predictions Of . con-
Siderable and influential element In
the Democratic party.

THE RAIDERS CASE.

The State Journal prints today the
lengthy statement of George S. Bad
bers at his request. His conviction,
however. was just and his sentence
none too severe. His acQuittal would
have been a travesty upon justice and
a reflection upon honest merchants
and reputable business methods. The
testimony of Ira Burdick, one of his
statesmen. and that of others and his
own cross-examination plainly showed
his fraudulent and swindling mer-
camille transactions.

That FrOWn.
"Oh heart Of mine, we shouldn't
worry SO.
What we've missed of calm, we
couldn't have, you know.
What we've met of stormy pain
And of sorrows driving rain
We can better meet again
If 1t blow"
The other day as I was passing
through a railroad station my atten-
ton was attracted by a woman with
two children. They were energetic,
obstreperous little mites, and one of
trying to get away. A whistle
shrieked; big baggage truck rat
tied by them, they had to pass close to
the engine which at that moment was
belching forth steam in the alarming,
just-about-to-exlode way engines
ened and wanted to shrink away.
The little boy was fascinated and
wanted to get nearer. And will you
believe it, through all that tumult and
and serene and sweet as a June morn
ing. When she spoke to the children
it was never in a shrill voice, and not
once did see her brow wrinkle up.
The Shrill Voice and the Nervous
FroWn.
Now 1 know another mother who
seldom appears on a city street with
her two children without a frown OF
anxious concentration on her brow.
They make her SO nervous, she says.
You never can tell when Louise IL
going to try to pat a cross dog, OF
Benny is going to elude her and get
under an automobile. And in her
voice, as she speaks to you or to them
is shrill note which is the echo OF
that nervous frown.
Whenever 1 see her 1 feel 1 must
say, "Oh heart of mine we shouldn't
worry so.''
OF course there was as much for the
first woman to frown about as the
second, nay more, but she wasn't the
frowning kind.
Some of us are born the frownine
kind. and some of us aren't. and the
people who aren't, should bless the
fates that made them serene hearted,
and the people who are should make
up their minds that they will attain
serenity of heart and pass it on to
their descendants in spite OF the fates
that made them otherwise.
How to Smooth Away That Frown.
1 often see that frown on one face
or another. and whenever I do want
to say, "Oh heart Of mine, we should
mt worry so.' For to me there il
something in the rhythm and sugges-
ton of that sentence that smooths out
frowns
You see have reason to know, for
sometimes I don't see the frown. I
feel 1t. I'm trying to type something
just right: I'm fussing over a sauce
that won't thicken; I'm searching for
q word that eludes me: I'm in q hurry
and the car doesn't move fast enough;
and all at once feel those wrinkles
on my brow and that tight sensation
in my brain. And then I say to my
self, "Oh heart Of mine, we shouldn't
worry So" and gradually the wrinkles
Do you ever feel that frown as well
as see It? Next time try my secific.

Action has been taken by the Ca
madam government to control the an
nual loss sustained by the ravages of
dog fish. The depredations Of this
member of the shark species have not
been confined to wholesale destruc-
ton of all kinds of valuable deep-sea
hsh along the coasts: the damage to
nets and gear also has extended over
la wide area. and Is a serious menace
to success during the best months of
the fishing season.
A Few years ago an experiment was
made in canning dog fish, and to OBJ
viate prejudice, the cans were labeled
White fish," The enterprise did not
succeed and was finally abandoned.
Owing to immense numbers, the
ravages of the dog fish became such a
handicap to the fishermen that the
plan Of diminishing the hordes bv con-
verting them into fertilixing material
and fish oil was adopted by the ma
rine and fisheries department.
Within the last decade three re-
duction plans have been installed: At
Canso on the eastern coast Of Nova
Scotia, at Chrkes Harbor on the
southwestern shore, and at Shippigan,
New Brunswick. The results have not
been entirely satisfactory. The Chrkes
Harbor Reduction works, installed
three or four years ago, have been
equipped with all modern scientific
AAAPA VNSAuCutS machinery, etc. D4-
tails from recent fishery blue books
indicate that from 5000 to 5000 tons
of dog fish have been handled annu-
ally in the three factories; the returns
Appropriated 500 to 600 tons of scrap
or fertilizer. and about $4,000 gallons
of oil.
Owing to the dif1culty of getting
dog fish in the quantities necessary to
keep extensive plants in continuous
operation Notwithstanding the enor-
nous hordes of fish available at GER
tain periods when inroads occur); a
proportion of the scrap and oil Just
mentioned was obtained from fish offal
of all kinds. Fertih1er as rule
brings from $40 to $50 per ton, the
demand for home use being offered at
the lowest possible rate. Nitrogen to
the amount of about 10 per cent and
phosphate in very nearly the same
proportion render it a boon to the
farmer, who is never at very great
distance from the sound Of the sea in
Nova Scotia.
Oil as a rule is worth from rs to 20
cents per gallon and is readily SAL
able. The demand for fertilizer scrau
may reasonably be expected to in
crease from year to year.-DaiH Con-
