SALMON FISHERIES BEING DEPLETED W. E. ALLEN California Biological Feature Service. I have just been reading the October number of California Fish and Game and it has stirred my thoughts and desires as that excellent magazine always does. In particular my thoughts now run to the necessity for eternal vigilance and alertness in public matters and my desires to the increase and practical application of such vigilance. I notice that Mr. N. B. Scofield makes a very mild and modest (tingled with hopelessness) statement of the approaching exhaustion (or destruction) of our salmon fisheries. For many years warnings have been given of this trend of affairs yet we as a people have made no effective move to preserve this remarkable resource. The best which we have done has been to postpone the evil day. To the whole body of California citizens the Fish and Game Commission stands in much the same relationship as to intelligence of a man whose eyes gave him repeated warning of injury but who persisted in keeping a sheep killing dog until his flocks were all destroyed. Commercial interests are essential to the proper use of the salmon resource, but like many other essential agencies they become dangerous when out of control. If citizens of California have any pride or interest in the salmon fisheries they must make proper provision through this legislature for salmon protection. The case of the salmon is only one of many illustrating the necessity for unceasing attention to the condition of our wild life resources. We, as ordinary citizens, do not know how to direct the necessary vigilance nor do we know how to interpret the dangers revealed by it. Furthermore, we do not like to be disturbed by matters outside of the ordinary routine of our lives and we do not feel conflict necessary to maintain our rights. For such reasons we evident that the desirable and valuable and practical thing to do to appoint competent officials Hugo Bezdek, coach of the Penn State College team, F. Baker, president of the Phillies, conferred recently college coach taking up baseball management of the P and dropping college work. The result is still in the THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—This is to assure anyone who looks like Napoleon that he can't necessarily conquer the world and at the same time to console anyone who looks like Bluebeard Landru that he may make a very fine Sunday school superintendent without fear of a wife-killing complex.

Sullivan, popularly known amongst his old Fenian friends thruout the world as the "Bard," is dead. He was one of the most prominent figures in the Land War of the 80's, and in 1891 he was tried at Nenagh before Mr. Justice O'Brien (Peter the Packer) on charges of conspiracy. Two sentences of fourteen years penal servitude were passed. As he turned to leave the deck he cried out, "God Save Ireland." Thereupon the judge called him back and imposed another sentence of a further fourteen years. In later years he succeeded in getting restored the farm from which he was evicted. S. F. KNOWN IN EUROPE SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.—"Wherever you go throughout Europe, everyone is talking about California." So said W. T. Sesnon, San Francisco financier and chairman of the Chamber of Commerce hospitality committee who returned yesterday after several months with his family in Europe. He graphically pictured his travels, saying "Our people at home do not realize the wonderful name that the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce has made for itself all over the world. "When I was in Paris and the American Chamber of Commerce learned I served as a former president of the Chamber of Commerce I was received with open arms. The same was true in London, Rome. Mr. Sesnon returned with his son, W. T. Sesnon Jr., a university student. Mrs. Sesnon and son Porter Sesnon and Miss Barbara Sesnon are still in Europe. that unprincipled competitors are destroying the surplus anyway.

Center St. Anaheim When I was in Paris and the American Chamber of Commerce learned I served as a former president of the Chamber of Commerce I was received with open arms. The same was true in London, Rome, Mr. Sesnon returned with his son, W. T. Sesnon Jr., a university student. Mrs. Sesnon and son Porter Sesnon and Miss Barbara Sesnon are still in Europe. That unprincipled competitors are destroying the surplus anyway. With heavy investment in the business the honest man feels that he is then excusable for making a rush to get his share before complete destruction has actually occurred. This, however, is not true of the lobbying against regulation. As a matter of fact regulation favors the honest fisherman because it gives him the best possible assurance of permanence in his business. Destructive lobbying is a characteristic of the predatory interests which can only be met by fighting as determined and vigorous as that which they make. While we must depend mainly upon our legislators and other officials to make the direct fight against destructive aggression we can do a very great deal by encouragement and moral support. In time of war we were all made to understand that an army can do nothing without proper support at home. Most of us did many different things to furnish both moral and material aid in support of the army and we did them not only willingly but enthusiastically. What we call a time of peace is really a time of concentration of attack upon enemies different from those recognized in war time. The right kind of public officials need and deserve enthusiastic public support just as much as did our soldiers and sailors in war time. The wrong kind would often be kept in the right way by proper encouragement. It seems to me that such relationships are unusually plain in connection with such a question as that of our wild life resources but that they are also apparent in other matters. At any rate our only hope of keeping up a supply of certain kinds of wild life is by procuring effective protection and regulation. It Pays to Advertise in the Orange County Plain Dealer. THE ORANGE COUNTY, PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA ELDER JAPANESE STATESMEN GOING TOKIO, Dec. 14.—Old Japan is fact changing. The last of the famous Elder Statesmen of the Meiji era has relinquished his government post. Only two of the Genro remain—Prince Matsukata (he has just been promoted from a marquis) and Prince Salonji. Matsukata has just retired as Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal, his last post. The two are very old well in the eighties. Salonji has been ill for months, and Matsukata is fast failing. The two, particularly Matsukata, made Baron Kato Premieh last spring. When the time comes they will probably remove him and name his successor, but that will be about the last of their making and unmaking of ministries. Viscount Hirata, possibly the strongest man in Japan next to the two Genro, who for thirty years was constantly at Prince Yamagata's elbow, is the new Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal. His appointment is a decided victory for the Choshu elan, the first in many months since the popular cry for disarmament turned sentiment from them Hirata since the death of Yamagata in February, has been possibly second only to General Baron Tanaka in leading the old elan. There has been much written about the Genro's lease on life. Will they continue? Certainly not the old Genro—they cannot be replaced. No one can fill the shoes of Ito, Okubo, Touye, Oyama, Yamagata, Matsukata and Salonji. IRISH GIRLS LOSE BEAUTY DUBLIN, Dec. 14.—Irish colleens are losing their beauty. This was the view expressed by a famous beauty specialist in Dublin. "The girls of Dublin and other cities in Ireland are not nearly so pretty as they were eight or ten years ago," he said in an interview. " Their eyes have not the same luster, and their cheeks have lost that wonderful Irish complexion, and their carriage is not nearly so attractive as it used to be. However, the outline of the features is just as good as ever it was. "The reason of this change is the abnormal time that Ireland has passed through. The excitement and amount of nervousness through which the people have passed have had their effects more on the women than on the men. Another thing is that girls do not take so much outdoor exercise, owing to street dangers. "I can forecast with absolute certainty, however, that with the return of normal times Irish colleens again will become the most beautiful in the world." U. S. SHIPS' URGED QUIT CANAL TRADE WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. — The shipping board was urged today by the C. of C. of the United States to discontinue the use of government-owned ships in service between Atlantic and Pacific ports. In a letter to Chairman Lasker, Julius H. Barnes, president of the chamber, declared the coast-to-coast shipping was provided with adequate private-owned tonnage and remonstrated against government craft entering into competition with private enterprise under present conditions.
