New Fish Regulations For The Western
Counties.

BY reason OF the rules OF the
United States Fisheries Commits
sion they would absolutely refuse
to furnish fish to any locality
where the laws were inadequate
to protect them.
BY reason OF the adaptability
of the streams Of Wilkes, Watau-
ga, Caldwell and Ashe counties
for the propagation OF the noun.
tain trout and other game fish,
the Fish Commission of North
Carolina have wisely passed the
following laws for their protect
ion:
"That it shall be unlawful for
any person or persons, firm or
corporation to catch or kill any
fish Of any kind, with seine, trap,
nets, gigs or snares or by means
OF poison or explosives OF any
kind or otherwise destroying any
fish except with hook and line
and fish basket in any of the
waters of the natural streams,
rivers or creeks in Counties OF
Wilkis, Ashe, Watauga and Cald.
well. And 1T shall be unlawful to
take with hook and line or any
other appliance or apparatus,
whatsoever, any fish OF any kind
from any OF the aforesaid waters
in any Of said counties under the
size OF six inches, or on Sunday
In view OF the fact that plenti-
tul game and game fish have
brought more prospectors and
investors to North Carolina than
any other one thing it is hoped
that all citizens interested in the
upbuilding and advancement Of
our state will give their hearty
cooperation.

that one shall be the choice OF q

who would be entirely fair and

agreed, should perform this SER
vice. He will commence his work
on the 4th and continue until the

bout a chang ge. We know OF no
reason why the American people
should be less sane than other
people, or why they should per-
nit their vital interests to be be-
deviled for the edifieation OF am
bilious professional politicians.
1t will always remain to the
discrvdit of the Democratic Par
ty that in the strain and stress OF
the Civil War it nominated a
candidate for President against
Abraham Lincoln and sought for
partisan advantage to discredit
the Lincoln Administration.
Surely the Republican Party at
q time like this cannot desire to
emulate that miserable example
of Copperhead Bourbonlsm. IL
cannot desire to weaken the in
auence OF the United!States Gov
ernment abroad by a partisan
campaign against the President
at home.
Republican politicians ia k
much patriotism, American pres
tige and the national honor. Do
they believe what they say? lfso,
they ought to welcome the chance
to nominate President Wilson.
That would be a supreme mani
festation Of patriotism. 1t would
strengthen American prestige in
in every capital Of the world af
nothing else could do. 1t would
put the national honor beyont
the possibility Of stain. It woulc
reveal to civilization a united Re

herited from the Fathers.

by which comprehensive legisla-

into law without the Presidents
coercing Congress or bribing it
with patronage.
They would point to his pre-
paredness measures as full a.
tonemement for past derelictions
on the part OF the Republican
party, and as an example OF
leadership that knows how, in
times of national peril, to bring
irreconcilahle political elements
into harmony for the public well
fare.
They would point to the Ad-

ond only to the Administrations
of Washington and Lincoln in

people.
All this and more would Re-
publicans say of Woodrow Will

clude their saying it.

The Outlook for Peace.
Asheville Citizen.

Asheville Citizen.
While the average American
citizen, knowing his Germany, is
not inclined to believe for a min
ute that the kaiser's government
will surrender to the American
demands, such a course isnot be-
yond the range of possibilities.
For after sober reflection it must
be apparent to the Berlin author
tiles that Germany has every
thing to lose and nothing togain
by engaging in war with the Uni
ted states. She wuuld lose, first
of all, the most powerful nation
among the worlds neutrals who
would possibly be in a position
to present the German cause
when the day OF settlement ar
rives, and perhaps secure better
terms for defeated Germany than
she would otherwise obtain. Then
Germany would lose millions OF
tons OF shipping, war vessel, Ii
ners and merchants, now tied up
in American waters by the Brit
ish blockade.
More than all, perhaps, the dec
laration of war between the Uni
ted States and the Germah EN-
pire would dispel the last waver-
ing doubts of such countries as
Holland, Greece, Roumania and
Spain, and would virtually array
almost the entire world in com.
mon cause against Prussianism.
OF course, Germany has little to
fear from American trooIs, which
would not be likely to fight in
; Europe, but she knows that with
the aid OF the American navy an
extra grip would be given to the
strangle hold of Great Britain's
blockade, and the menace ofstar
walton would loom larger thar
ever in the faces of the German
people. Germany must realize
too, as the balance OF the worlC
realizes that Americas i n d u s
trial addition to the present
output of the allies ammunition
plants and factories will be wortf
more than many regiments o
soldiers on the European battle
field, and il the German war par
ty has designs on the United
States it would choose a tim,
other than the present, whel
Germany's hands are more thar
fnll with the Armies of the Euro
pean nations. OF course, ther
is every reason 10 believe tha

Were Woodrow Wilson a Re-
publican President, with a record
OF achievement identical with his
record as a Democratic Presi-
dent, the Republicans would nom-
mate him by acclamation.
They would point to the revis-
ion of the tariff under his admin
istration as the fulfllment of Nc
Kinley's dying pledge, whic h
Roosevelt shirked and in which
Taft failed.
They would point to the bank
ing and currency law as tn e
greatest piece Of financial legisla-
ton yet enacted-alaw which has
made it possible for the United
States not only to weather sue
cess:ully the devastating war in
human history, but to aspire to
the financial mastery OF the world.
They would point to the in
come-tax law as a just and equi-
table means of making wealth
bear it's due proportion OF the
cost OF government, forwhich the
Republican Party was entitled to
q double share Of credit because
q Republican Congress had sub
mitted the amendment to t h e
Constitution which made the lev
ying OF an income tax possible.
They would point to thecorpo.
ration tax as the extension OF an
act which the Republican Party
origininated and which helped to
transfer to organized capital
some of the burdens of govern
ment previously borne by power
ty and labor.
They would point to the repeal
of the coastwise provision OF the
Panama Canal tolls act as proof
! that the United States Is faithful
) to it's treaty pledge, and cannot
be swayed from the ways ofinter-
national honor andjustice by the
mercenary greed OF special inter-
est.
They would point to the FEEDER
al Trade Board as a progressive
measure OF constructive legisla.
tion by which honest and law-a-
biding business was protected
from indiscriminate prosecution
and enabled to work in harmony
with the Sherman antitrust act,
in fairness to competitors and
in fairness to the public.
They would point to the record
Of the Department of Justice as
proof that business had been en-
ancipatei from political black
mail and that industrial organi
cations were no longer persecu
ted from motives OF partisan ad
vantage or private revenge.
They would point to the Presl
dents Mexican policy, identica
as it is with Lincoln's Mexican
policy, as evidence that the Amer
lean people where no less deter
mined than ever togive the back
ward nations OF this hemispher
the fullest opportunity to worl
