Fewer Shad Each Year
Prosperity for the poor along Roanoke River is as
sure lor the next two months. All they have to db
is to.dip their nets in the river and dip up herring,
shad, and rock l>y the thousands.
"|"here is no better food for health and strength
than fish", "and the annual catch of these fish its they
itiine Up front the ocean each year have blessed jhe |
p.-ople throughout this section.
The white man ran the Indian away from this scat
of wealth and has enjoyed it since. The greed of
the fisheiman has almost, destroyed some s|tei ies. such
as stunjt.on, and shad have greatly diminished in num- f
tier «n account*of the pets, which have proven almost
•a Complete barricade, es|H* lally is this true of the ,
roe shad, which is much larger than the buck and
is l a Light by the gills while "the smaller, or buck shad,
passes through. 1 Cnless more stringent laws are
passed to protect the shad, it may not be so long be ,
fore they, will be a very scarce fish in the waters.
The roe,,or female, shad must get well up into the i
fresh water., or we will have very few'young shad

This bank maintains a financial research bureau,
I perhaps equal to the United States government. It
j is hard to estimate the power and influence of such
an institution. It can do much good in stabilizing
the business affairs of the country; or il may,"if it
chooses, do many things to manipulate the affairs of
business and government as well.
Such aggregations of wealth certainly need honesty
in management rather than selfish greed.
The Next Move of the Grand Oil Party
It is always interesting to watch a close game of
I checkers between expert players-- -not so much to see
who is going to win, but it is so interesting to guess
as to the nest move. However, the next move of the
■ Grand Oil Party is far more interesting.
. Of course, Mr. Borah says collect the money from
j honest people and pay the rascals back.. But he is
| all balled up in that plan, because it is just the same
as returning stolen goods, and that will never do. No'
|. court excuse* a crime because the goods are returned.
| And Mr. Borah " mistaken if he thinks the court of
. public opinion will return a verdict of not guilty i ; f
I the stolen goods are returned, even fourfold.
Senator Capper, that Kepubkan Senator from Kan
sas, offers a solution much superior to that,of Borah.
He advocate* putting out every [>erson connected with
the TeapiU, liome scandal. He says the job must be
thoroughly done. . v
Among other things he says; "For spectacular rot
tenness,'' I doubt whether we have the equal of Tea
put. Dome in American history, or ever will have.
♦ • ♦ ■ ♦ The smudge of oil being smeared blackly
across the pages 'of history is repulsive to the citi
zens of the entity country. The trail is slimy, odor
ous, reeking with corruption * * * for ways that
ure dirk and tricks that are vain.'.'
Senator Capper was all right, so far as he went. But
he should move onward until Will Hays and all his
gang is banished from the bounds of civilized society,
f: where the pangs of hunger and loneliness could gnaw
their greedy heartstrings into-shreds.
Keeping "State Secrets"
* . —~~ .' ..
The Hertford News
Mayor H, C. Stokes has one misfortune, he is deal
a little in his ear. But this misfortune became only a
memory Thursday noon when His Honor heard and
| spoke distinctly to Governor A. W. McLean in his ex
ecutive offices in Kaleigh upon the o|»ening of the new
| telephone line from Edenton to Windsor.
The governor and the mayor enjoyed a five-minutes
that over the phone. The significant fact about the
talk is not that they talked or that Henry Stokes heard
what was said, but the fact that this section of North
Carolina talked to the other part of the State over
the photic over the soil of North Carolina for the lirst
1 time, without going over Virginia soil to reach its own
capital That- is more htan a significant fact, ft is
• history, for heretofore Hertford could not talk to Ra
leigh unless our neighbors of Virginia 'listened in.'
Now we can keep our 'state secrets' to ourselves.
