Adirondack Trout.

,Fro,o The Rochester Democrat aud ChrouicIc)
Visitors to the interior lakes of the Adron
dack Mountain region are sometimes puzzled
by the attitude Of the guides in the matter
Of the size of brook trout which may be
taken lawfully during the open season, and
are at loss to understand why game war
dens are so strict in requiring that all trout
measuring less than six inches in length be
thrown back into the stream. To the casual
visitor it is not clear why speckled trout
measuring five and three-quarters inches in
length does not come substantially within
the provisions of the law.
The reason for the strict observance OF the
law regarding the length OF brook trout
which it is permissible to take was recently
given by a guide in the Three Lakes region,
of Essex County, at the headwaters OF the
Hudson River. For several years the people
OF the region have been cooperating with the
State Conservation Commission in restocking
the streams and lakes of that mountain sec
ton with brook trout and latterly introduc-
ing the Pacific Coast rainbow trout. The
fish are placed in the streams and lakes
when Of the size known as fngerlings, at the
expense Of the people Of the township. Nat
ural spawning is then depended upon for
increase. The guide explained that the brook
trout and the rainbow trout do not spawn
until they reach a size approxfmating six
inches in length. Thus, if fish were allowed
20 be taken before having spawned once or
twice. tho expense and labor of transporting
fngerlings to the interior lakes and streams
would be futile. As the guides are active
in securing the stocking Of the waters, they
naturally become the most efficient preserv-
ers Of the game.
The rainbow trout's natural habitat ap-
pears TO be the deep, cool lakes in the noun
tain valleys. That the experiment of stock
ing Adirondack lakes with this beautiful fish
has succeeded was recently demonstrated
when q Rochester visitor captured specimen
measuring trife over seven inches in
length from Lake BXby. 1t was the first
rainbow caught or seen since the fngerings
were placed in the lake. and was regarded
bv the guides and mountain folk generally IS
certain evidence that the stocking venture
had been successful. They thus conclude
that the strangers from the Pacific Coast
mountain lakes will live in harmony with
Eastern brook trout and the large lake trout,
both Of which abound in Bixby Lake. ,

Teamwork.

When man and his wife. both Of whom
arc physicians. go to hotel do they reg
lister as DR.. and Mrs. John Jones, or as
DR.. John Jones and DR.. Mary Jones? Or
how do they register? And if so, why?
These are the distressing problems evoked
by query to "Thc Times" and very thor
oughly answered by sundry hotel Offices in
the city. The majority vote was in favor
Of plain DR.. and Mrs. John Jones; and
with this form two married women physi-
clans agreed.
Not a question affecting general hui
mainly, it must be conceded, nor exactly
vital to any one. Titles are not fire.
ouent in America. Ofhand, there is
only one other likely combination we can
think of which might stump Mr.. and Mrs.
John Jones standing before hotel reg
lister. That is, if both were professors.
But for its hint of what is to come the
problem hits far and wide and down the
years. Any one who thinks that women
are going to open their minds toward
every interest in life and help out wher-
ever they can without effecting mass OF
social readjustments will have another
guess.
1t is in the attempts at teamwork that
we foresee most of the trouble. Such an
episode as the present problem of quar-
antine which every community faces as
a result Of the infantile paralysis cpl
demic brings the point home. This is
essentially, on the practical side, prob
lem about which women know most, be-
cause theirs is the care of children in sick
ness and in health. In a sensibly-run COM
munity it would be turned over to women
to handle, with such medical and legal
advice as they needed. Yet what happens
in the typical man-run community? The
men hesitate and discuss and presently
the women meet to obtain action. The
members of the Health Board receive them
with elaborate courtesy and an inward
vexation and proceed to do nothing in par
ticular. What results is not the product
of teamwork, but of irritation plus pig
headedness.
There is no especial blame to be attached
to either side-not even to the pompous
male member who pats the ladies" on the
back in a few well-chosen words of con-
descenson and then brushes them aside to
exhibit his masculine acumen. The simple
fact is that most men and women have not
yet learned to work together. AS poets,
cheek to cheek, yes; but shoulder to Shout
der. no. The exceptional man and the ex-
ceptional woman-Dr. and Mrs. John
Jones, for example-may have solved the
problem. The general run of males and
females have the whole task before them.

The Egregious English.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: 1t may somewhat relieve your CORE
spondent of sound Gaelic sympathies to
know that the book "The Unspeakable Scot"
which he objects to finding on the shelves of
the public library, is of old vintage and duly
called forth a doughty reply. Both books
were written by London journalists The
first probably a backire at the increasing
that Scotsmen have of London
journalism, and the second, "The Egregious
English" was a worthy indictment of the
qualities that the author of the offending
challenge assumed to be complete and per-
feet. Both books had their vogue several
years ago, while Teutonic Victoria was doing
her best TO hold up to her English Scotch and
Irish subjects the wonderful virtues Of the
race the British are now unitedly engaged in
civilzng. READER

Oratory as an Art.

Judging by the zeal with which each of the
political parties is now preparing its force
of campaign speakers, there would seem
TO be little truth in the often repeated
statement that oratory is a dead art. Ever
since the Revolution oratory has played a
large part in political affairs. 1t is in the
role of public speaker that the candidate
still makes himself known to the average
voter. The torchlight procession, the bon
fire and the old-fashioned rally have now
almost become things of the past, but the
stump speaker survives all change.
Probably the alleged decline of oratory
does not include political speech making,
since many would not consider that the
present manner of political discussion
comes within the realm of oratorical art.
Certainly, there is now very little of the
sonorous style Of Daniel Webster, with his
rounded Ciceronian periods and his occa-
sonal Latin quotations Even Mr.. Bryan
With his "crown Of thorns" and his "cross
Of gold" has lost something of the dra-
matte appeal which he had twenty years
ago. What is true of political oratory is
also true of other forms of public speech.
rev lawyers now achieve eminence in the
profession Oh account of their eloquence
before the jury box. Even in the pulpit

admitted that in the present case we are
not dealing with practice long estao-
lshcd. The question of relative Visibility
is certainly not new one, and u mus.
obviously he brought TO the minds OF naval
men on all occasions. Ingenious attempts
to achieve obscurity by adaptation to local
surroundings and peculiar atmospheric
conditions were made by some OF our naval
commanders as long ago as 1867, ana sih''-
lar efforts are clearly apparent IN some oil
the censored photographs of the British
fleet at the Dardanclles.
There have been opportunities enough
for studying comparative effects. Our
own ships were formerly white; black was
for many years the prevailing color III the
British navy. Again in the Battle OF the
Yalu the Chinese ships were gray, the
white, and it may be noted ny
the way. that the Chinese torpedo boats
found it difficult to distinguish between
their own and the cncmy's. Rightly or
wrongly. most of the navics of the world
have come to gray of one shade or another
after prolonged experience with other
hucs. The easiest inference is that they
have found it upon the whole the most use
full. But we must not underrate the IN
Aucncc of prcconceptions or ignore the
effect Of custom and imitation in the per
netuation of error. Mr.. Thayer's obscrva-
tons on protective coloration in the animal
kingdom have won the serious consldera-
ton of naturalsts, and it is not inconcelv-
able that in the long run he may persuade
the curious to undertake a reconsideration
of the protective coloration Of fleets.

Franchise Reform in England.

Though Sir Edward Carson insisted that
there was no reason why the demand OF
British women for enfranchisement should
be allowed to interfere with a measure de-
signed to give all combatants vote, 1t is
very easy to understand the scruples
limited at by the Prime Minister yesterday
in the House of Commons. 1t is ques-
ton not so much of justice as of eXpe-
diency. This is not an appropriate time to
revise the registration lists or to propose
new qualifications for the franchise.
Up to the moment when war broke out
the question of votes for women was one
of the most troublesome that Parliament
was confronted with Very prudently
Mrs. Pankhurst and all of the militant suf-
fragists who had been a cause of 50 much
veXation to the government agreed at once
TO a truce. Their action may not have
been wholly disinterested. They may have
realized that their methods, hardly en-
durable in time of peace, would not be tol-
Grated at all in time of war, and that the
public would not be deeply concerned about
their fate if they chose to fight the govern
ment with hunger strikes and similar self
inflicted tortures. But, however that may
be, their decision was statcsmanlike and
manifestly patriotic.
1t was clearly understood at the time
that they were content to abandon their
claims temporarily only because they de-
sired to be of service to their country and
not unduly to embarrass the government.
But if the government were to undertake
an extension of the franchise in the middle
of the war the women would be perfectly
justified in reopening the whole question,
especially in consideration of Mr.. Asquith's
pledge to afford them such an opportunity
on the earliest possible occasion. Accord
ingly, when pressure was brought to bear
by the women, there was nothing for the
government to do but to withdraw the pro
posed measure or to agree to the renewal
of controversy full of peril.

What Are Republicans Going
To Do?

The nomination Of Mr.. Justice Seabury
was procured by the deliberate interven-
ton of Federal influence in state affairs.
If Mr.. Murphy's friends at the Saratoga
primary accepted Judge Seabury, they did
it against their will and after they had
failed TO find a substitute who could be
put over" The victory was entirely due
TO William G. McAdoo, and he acted only
incidentally for himself.
But the actual circumstances of Judge
Seaburys nomination will not affect the
situation so far as Republicans are con-
cerned. When the Democratic primary &C
cepts him, as it will, the Republicans
will have to face the most dangerous can
didate in recent political history in this
state.
No one can foreshadow the kind of Gov
ernor Judge Seabury will make, for he
has had no experience in an executive
office. but he has succeeded in building up
a following outside of regular political
ranks. he will invite independent votes ard
Progressive votes and it will neither be
simple nor easy to defeat him. Least of
all will it be possible to defeat him by any
Murphy" issue, for Justice Seabury was
not Murphys choice at Saratoga and Muir
ply accepted him with utmost reluctance
and after rather pathetic wriggling.
Do the Republicans in this state believe
Governor Whitman is the man to defeat
the strongest nomination for Governor the
Democrats have made in two decades? Do
they believe that a campaign on the de-
fensive, and it will be campaign on the
defensive if Mr.. Whitman is renominated,
will promise success or contribute to the
larger cause, which is the national vic
tory?
In his day Senator Plat always insisted
that it was mistake to renominate Gov
ernor. Governor Odel broke the rule and
carried the state by scant handful of votes.
Even Mr.. Hughes ran many thousands be-
hind his ticket in his second campaign and
was elected mainly because the national
ticket pulled him through. Does any one
feel that Governor Whitman's record in
Albany will render him immune to the
dangers that Governor Hughes suffered
from as a candidate the second time?
Every one recalls the effort to renomi-
nate the late Frank W. Higgins in 1906
and every one knows, now, that had it sue
ceeded he would have been overwhelmingly
defeated. The Democrats have named the
strongest candidate they had in their
camp. Is Governor Whitman the strong
est candidate in the Republican camp? Can
he be elected? Will the Progressives sup
port him? Will the independents in larger
numbers vote for him, as opposed to JUS
tce Seabury?
The national Democratic influence has
been cxerted OH the local Democratic lead
ership for the good of the national ticket.
Is there not some similar influence which
could profitably be applied to local Repub-
lican leadership for the good of Mr..
Hughess Presidential campaign and in the
interests Of Republican victory for the ma
,ional ticket in the state campaign?
