Perhaps the Department of Commerce offi- Is may not have been lying after all. RABBIT HAS MANY ALIASES. Some of the trade names under which the owly rabbit skin appears in the fur business listed by the Biological Survey in a Farmers' lletin, issued by the United States Depart- nt of Agriculture. Baltic is prefixed to black brown fox, leopard, lion, red fox, seal, , and white fox; all being rabbit skins iriously dyed and treated.

DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION. Reproducing a letter to its employees from Goodrich Transit Company, operating on the jreat Lakes, in which notice was served that )y -employee of the company who drank in- oxicating liquor would be discharged, the Chris- Herald says: S The hope of the “wets” to create sentiment for the repeal of the Volstead Act certainly will go glimmering when they find out that the business world _ will no longer tolerate habits that im- pair service. Al ‘“‘wet” dailles and printed organs of the “‘wets” may copy . this letter. .. There is where the Christian Herald makes its e. The advocates of the modification or 1 of the Volstead Act, or of the repeal or cation of the Eighteenth Amendment, are opposed to temperance or total abstinence the use of liguor on the part of individuals mployers. Most of them, no doubt, are in ¢ of temperance, and belleve that the use of intemperately at least, is injurious. Thou- of the opponents of the Volstead Act are ly dry. Gov. Ritchie and Senator Ed- for instance, do not touch intoxicating in any form, and they are among the most fighters against the Volstead ‘law and e pppolonu of the Volstead Act and Pro- ‘are opposed to trying to force abstinence club and gun. They believe that it be dome and ought not to be attempted. eve that the cause of temperance would and far more satisfaetorily though flon than through the use of the domincer- ”’ shalt not.” They belleve, further, fi' Tl matter of policy for the people to _is, they believe that the peovle W TROY - - - EDITOR AND MANAG}',F . “the ' Second and Main | or irregularity | [won’t be. one Qlate have no right to dictate to the nother State.

The Ananias Club “We're just crazy for woolen stockings and mittens to wear when it gets cold,” complained granddaughter, “but we can't got grandmother to knit them for us,” A Homely Mutt Jim: “What kind of a girl this Mabel?” is At that Jack Dempsey made nearly a half- ‘mll]lon dollars pretty easily.

It is high time that authoritative protest be Bill: ='he kind you would make lcarn to swim in one short les- son.” Passing Observation It's almost as astonishing way man can fly as it is way time can. the the: entered against some of the transoceanic flights, and against long-distance flights that can have no more important bearing on aerial navigation than to accumulate evideence of the things al- ready proven. Too many lives already have been lost in practically fool-hardy ventures. Too many ‘Hve-s have been lost in ventures to gain large |prize money, some of which has had nothing {better than private advertising back of it. When one or more of these daring spirits meet with misfortune, as happened to seven who started over the Pacific Ocean to win a private purse, the Federal Government is looked to tc send relief, and $200,000 was spent out of the United States Treasury in a vain search. So the facilities of the Government and of several South American States are being concentrated tc secure traces of one who hopped off to fly te Brazil, alone, without any means for communi- cating location or for making an S O 8 call. It is true that much of human progress, and of scientific development, has been due to the initiative of private enterprise. Much depend- ence still must be placed upon that same initia- tive. But something must be done to check the loss of human life, the lives of some of the most daring of manhood and womanhood in.the pursuit of gaudy bubbles of prizes, the winning of which can prove nothing that has not already been proven. Possibly none of the transoceanic flights has been essayed under more foolhardy impetuosity than the recent ones from England to Canada and those from Canada to England. The late- ness of the season when they were attempted was a sufficient warning. of the cold fogs and sleet that inevitably must be encountered. It ie to the credit of the Canadians that in the face of the St. Raphael disaster, unquestionably du¢ to fog and sleet, they had the courage to admit defeat and turn back. The same credit is duc the Frenchmen who attempted a flight from France to the United States, and to the backer of the proposed German flight, who, while not call- ing his pilots off, warned them that at this late senson the flight was fraught with almost in- | surmountable hazards. | For this season, at least the northern route ‘L, popllgr because. the shortest, should be closed. e earth has' turned many degrees from the sun since Lindbergh, Chamberlin and Byrd made their successful voyages, so perilously near disaster for two of them. Let us have morec of reason and more attention to seasonal met- eorological conditions and less of wild and un- balanced adventure. Transoceanic aerial navi- gation still is closely associated with a gambler's chance. Salmon Fisheries. (Prince Rupert News.) The salmon fisheries situdtion is one to be studied carefully. For many years the number of licenses on each river were limited and these were apportioned among the canneries. Prince Rupert Board of Trade strongly opposed the sys- tem and eventually it was thrown open to every- one to fish. Now it Is proposed to go back to some system of restricting the number of fishermen. There are a great many things to consider in discussing this question. If there is restric- tion, the question will arise as to who is to control the licenses. Also whether the restric- tion shall be in the number of Asiatic licenses or white or Indians. The admission of motor craft is also somewhat involved in it. Without at present expressing an opinion until it 1s seen what the proposals are to be, we suggest that all fishermen and others inter- ested study the question carefully and make their wishes known either through the Federal authorities, by public meetings or through the newspapers. It is useless to kick after ‘definite action is taken. Also it might be suggested that any means of protecting the fish other than by restricting the number of licenses might be set forth so that the best possible protection be given the salmon without injuring the industry or those employed in the fisheries.
