Ketchikan, Petersburg and Wrangell complain that herring are so sca that they cannot get bait for halibut. They contend that the herring supply Is being depleted. It also is urged by some guthorities that herring depletion is having a disastrous effect upon the salmon supply. They declare that the salmon feed on herring and that exhaustion of their food decreasing sal- mon runs Some of those at all of these towns contend that the herring reduction plants caused this shortage of the little fish, and they urge that the taking of herring for anything except bait and food be prohibited. This proposition has been under discussion for several years, and the question of whether or not herring fishing has reached an extent that it i8 damaging more important fisheries ought to be inevisigated. The Empire d this last year and reiterates it mow. But we also repeat, the question is not one as to the use to which the herring taken are put but a question of whether or not too many are being taken. One would . think if there are enough herring to make it * profitable to continue the reduction plants there ought to be no danger to the bait supply if g proper enterprise were shown in getting the fish for that purpdse. No doubt those who take her- ring for food and reduction purposes would sell * all that would be needed for bait if they found it profitable to do so. And, further, it is a ~ simple business proposition, a matter of fair play, that those who take herring ought to be allowed to make the most profitable legitimate use of their product. However, if the herring supply is actually being depleted to such an extent that there are not enough left for bait, or if the salmon supply is being depleted because of overfishing of her- " ring, that “is quite another matter. g The whole problem should be considered with _ the fact in view that the herring fisheries in- dustry has become one of large importance, one in which there.have been large investments. There should be no legislation that would destroy this industry unless it is absolutely the only way to save other and important industries. Action in the permises ought not to be taken hastily. That also is matter of simple fair - play. It is apparent, however, that there should be a careful and intelligent investigation of the herring situation and a searching inquiry as to whether or not there is really and truly over- fishing. is more ) & & WAYNE WHEELER'S SUCCESSOR. Wayne B. Wheeler's mantle has fallen, for the time being at least, on the Rev. Francis Scott McBride, B.S., D.D., General Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of America, for many years head of the organization in Illinois. News- * papers are now inquiring into the manner of man he is, and the verdict seems to be that the change from Wheeler to McBride will not count . for higher political ethics or better morals. It has been discovered that Dr. McBride was © mixed in the Illinois Senatorial scandal which | resulted in the election of, and denial of a seat in the Senate to, Frank L. Smith. He used, and admitted it, a lot of money in that campaign. The Chicago Tribune, which claims to be the f,v “greatest newspaper in the world,” writing of Dr. McBride, says: * * * in ail his years of dominance in the Legislature, where both wets and ,“ys have their unworthy men, it has {mever been recorded that he condoned a wet. In choosing between bad drys and good wets he never failed to choose the drys, his critics say, and maintain he frequently chose the worse of two bad drys. The truth is not in McBride when he denies that he does things hurtful to_ public morality and admits the facts which prove he does. Under Boss McBride the Anti-Saloon League is a force for evil in this State. He would establieh any regime of looting and freachery to the public to serve the - ome canse in which he is interested. Dr. McBride's answer to the Chicago Tri- was to say that “instead of being the newspaper in the world’ the Tribune is ‘wettest newspaper in the world.” "An article on Dr. McBride in the New York written by a Chicago newspaperman, con- this paragraph __ During the great dry wave McBride Illinois Legislature and his great victory “Search and e .jpublican paper | them | four ¢ have|, . would rather work silently and under cover, but i that “hully” and often that part.

Four American Sins. Frank, President of the .University of Wisconsin, in Chicago News.) The average American commonwealth betrays ardinal sins in the management of its com- (Glenn mon life. These sins register their effects in the political, social, industrial and educational life of the American States and in the American Nation as a whole. The four sins are, viz: First, we improvise. We fall short in the matter of foresight. Tt takes a crisis to make us think of policy. 1In days of calm we take the iest way. The man who bothers about fundamental philosophies of policies when social, political or industrial thund- erstorms are not in the sky is regarded as an im- practical theorist or an impertinent meddler. W ittish about long-time planning in publ We improvise in campaigns and cri and then 1ift the jerry-built results of our provising into the dignity of fundamental which it becomes heresy to question. Second, we oversimplify. We are patent-medicine minded. We want sure cures that act quickly. We outlaw as trait- im- laws us that no problem of agriculture, labor, business or politics is simple and susceptible to solution by a single remedy. « We want some pink pill for pale agriculture that will give us a cure in thirty days or money refunded. And so on. We have not really learned that all situations are complex. Third, we practice isolated leadership. We unconsciously assume that labor leader- ship playing in its corner, business leadership playing in its corner, political leadership playing in its corner, educational leadership playng in its corner, will somehow solve the issues of labor, business, politics and and education. There is not enough visiting across the frontiers that separate the sections of the social order. There is not enough interstate commerce of the mind between these empires of labor, businss, polities and education. We suffer from a lone-wolf theory of leadership. Fourth, we conduct our affairs upon the ba of attack and defense rather than upon the ba of research and study. A The problem of leadership is not primarily a pefection of etrategy, but the conquest of truth and its reduction of workable measures. Unique Chicago. (Kansas City Post.) The city which recently repudiated King George of England by electing Mayor Thompson is difficult for other communities of the United States to understand. Even New York is unable to fathom Chicago. For instance, Broadway was convinced that Maurine Watkins's play called “Chicago” would create resentment in the metropolis after which it was named. New York was convinced that the play, which features a populace that is most casual ward the wildest sort of murders and yellow journalism, was burlesque and that Chi- cago would resent being. the subject of burlesque. But New York, as has often been charged, is the most provincial city in the United States. It is wholly unable to understand the rest of the country. What happened when *‘Chicago” was played in Chicago? Why it was well at- tended by persons who found it amusing but could not understand why it was called burlesque. “That's all straight stuff,” the spectators de- clared. What can you do with a town like that? Why, you can take it or leave it. You can live there and decide that bizarre forms ‘of murder are normal and vote against King George or you can stay away. But you can't make Chicago embarrassed or angry by calling it what it is. Case of “Sour Grapes.” (New York Herald-Tribune.) If Mr. McAdoo enjoyed Governor Smith’s pros- pects with respect to the Democratic nomination, does any ome in his senses believe that he would be stepping down now? When, in the course of his distinguished career, has Mf. McAdoo been known to turn his back on power that he could reach? The gentleman is saying as plainly as he can in a letter full of self-praise, “‘Sour grapes!” Why should the world be so surprised at Germany's taking the lead in the peace move-) ment?
