see how important an eco
nomic element they consti-
ute.-Every Evening.

With the adjournment of
Congress to-day, comes a re-
port that some political lead
ers are preparing for the
next. Senator Norris, of Ne
braska, for example, has call
ed a conference of the self
styled progressive leaders, re
gardless of their partisan af-
filiations, to be held on March
IL. AT that time a program
for progressive legislation is
to be mapped out for the next
Congress. "Word of the COM
ing conference naturally set
afioat rumors Of a new and
so-called liberal political
party" says The Morning
News, "but such thoughts are
deftly denied. When a group
of New York liberals some
time ago urged that Norris
lead in forming a new party
he quickly repudiated the
idea. And to make this den
ial more effective the Norris
progressives will not even in
vite to the coming conference
Professor John Dewey, of
New York, who urged Mr..
Norris and others to. form a
third party. Perhaps the
practical politicians recalled
how steps in that direction
failed some years ago.
AT any rate, the progress
sive group demonstrated its
influence during the session of
Congress now about to end.
In a Congress closely divided
such q coterie can play the
regulars Of one party against
he regulars of the other and
1ften get rare results. An
other development is that five
governors, including the Hon.
Clifford Pinchot, Of Pennsyl-
7ania, have been invited to
he meeting.
Some will be surprised
hat Governor Roosevelt, Of
New York, is among those in
'ited to the conference. In
mild sort of way he might
e called a progressive, but he I

Among the topics to be dis

sees clearly and ever doing
something good in his town
and never loses an opportun-
ity to spread the news abroad
that others may derive bene-
fits therefrom, whose unself-
ishness prompts him to want
others to share opportunities,
health and pleasure which his
home town offers, says the
Snow Hill Messenger.
Loyalty is the first requis-
ite for the ideal citizen. The
love for the place and his
neighbors which dismisses
the thought Of self interest
and resolves itself into the
knowledge Of duty when he
does all in his power to make
the city a better place in
which to live. There are
three distinct attitudes which
a citizen may assume toward
the place in which he lives,
which furnishes him food,
shelter and association for
himself and family-to boost,
to remain quiet OF to knock.
The booster is that ideal citi-
zen who is never forgetful Of
the obligations which are due
the home city. He is ever
found at the front when any
is launched which
might tend to the advance
ment of the interest of the
city. The knocker is the man
who is without a country.
There is no room anywhere
for him. His presence damp
ems the enthusiasm of every
man or group of men who un-
fortunately come in contact
with him. Having no faith in
MS own ability to 60 forward,
ne naturally lacks faith in his
nome city to do SO.
"You have the chance to be-
ong to either Of three classes. .

BOOST you. If you are aligned
With the quiet class you will
lot be regarded one way OF
he other, for the man who

rom either side. If unfor-
unately you are a knocker,

The return of shad and her.
ring to the waters of the low
Ell sections of the Eastern
Shore has started the fisher
men of those sections to get
ready for the quest, and their
nets are already in condition
for busy season. Delaware
and Maryland fishermen are
hopeful Of larger catches than
came to their nets last season.
but whether their expecta-
tionS will be realized is always
a question. There seems to
be no doubt but the Shad will
be abundant in unpolluted and
uncontaminated waters of
Maryland. but no one would
venture such a prediction for
Delaware.
The Federal Governments
Fisheries Bureau reports a
decline in last years catch in
the Delaware river, and at the
same time notes an increase
of almost 10 per cent in the
number Of shad caught in the
Hudson river. The latter gain
might be taken as confiTma-
ton Of the prophesied "come
back" Of our favorite food
fish, were it not contradicted
by reports from other
streams. like our own Della
ware.
The government refuses to
pin itself down to the state
ment that the dumping of oil
waste into the rivers is solely
responsible for the scarcity of
shad, but such might be the
construction placed on the
findings Of its many surveys
of conditions. 1t. however.
seems unable to overcome
whatever may be the cause of
the disappearance of shad.
The loss of these fish to our
state ana the residents Is very
large indeed. Just now es-
pecially, were they here in
their former abundance, the
would provide en-
ployment for scores of men
and would "set the table" for
half the families in Delaware.
The catches from our streams
would have value Of almost
$150,000 for the six weeks or
SO Of the season. 1t is easy to
