HERRING PACKERS MAY OPPOSE
REGULATION.
That the Territorial Fish Cnmmi. ■ion'.' stand on
th< elimination of wasteful mi; Imdn in the herring
packing industry is not piec ing to nil o those en
gaged in the Jtusine r and that effe cts v ill he made to
induce the Federal liun u of Fisheries to take no
action in the matter is indicated by an article in
the December issue of th I'lclfic Fi lierinan, a Seattle
publication devoted to the I.siting industry. In the
article mentioned is cant.'in <1 this . is mint: "Pack
ers .... also take i xce;>tl :i to tin wide!;- circulated
statements concerning the w to of llsh In the herring
business, and ft I that any bard and fast requirement
as to .the utilization of v; rte thrt iu'h th- installation
of reduction plant: would be an unnecessary handicap
to the business."
Two men engaged in the industry were quoted at
length, both cf whom oppot d tho idt s of official
regulation for the purp \*e of waste elimination. Otto
of tito operators wet quoted 1 saying that the waste'
of herring was exaggeiated by tourist-■ because the
churning of the propellers of steamer, coming to the
plants brought up all the d ad It It from the bottom
of the bay, and to any to unfamiliar witli e nditions,
the quantity seemed vi ry large.
The waste of ii: h in Mm curing of herring has
net been brought to official notice through reports of
"tourists," but by per tons wh - are familiar with vir
tually every phase of the lis.hin ■ ■ industry, men of
practical experience as well . by scientific expert
who have mr.de a Ftndy of the situation. In the initial
Hugos cf the indusliy, it w. to have been expected
that there woull be more r lot . u e eiiil practices
cue mitered, and it v ; s 11 * ii.-ve !> in equally expected
that these engaging in the bur.:no would have be n

A not inconsiderable amount of the criticism of
Putter's nomination was caused by bis prominence a1
a corporation lawyer. He was alEo accused of being
unfit for a judicial position on account of being a
man of violent prejudices, high-handed and domine r
ing method', and. one critic charged, guilty of excess
devotion to the causes of his clients which sometimes
led him to disre ird the ethical if not the legal prin
ciples of justice The opponents of Mr. Butler were
given an opportunity to be heard by the Judiciary
Committee and totally faded to make a case. The
most that was shown was that be is n man of vig
orous action, without fear, relentless in his conduct of;
< case ns long as lie is convinced of its righteous
ness. and that, taken altogether, he is a very able
lawyer. He served the public ably as assistant county
attorney and county attorney in bis youth, later he
gave even greater service to the people as Special
Assistant Attorney General, under appointment from
Attorney General Wlckersbam in 190, in prosecution
cf the bleached flour cases; in 1911 he served In a;
like eapa< Ity in connection with the prosecution of j
ii:. Chicago meat packers for violating of the Sher
man Act. In 1920 he was retained by the Canadian
Government as its representative in the proceedings

1918 and
(New York evening Post.)
Oen. TaFker H. Bliss has just told us in the De
cember number of Foreign Affairs—the authoritative
story of the struggle fer the establishment of a
unified Allied command under the critical three
months preceding Lndendorff's mighty onslaught in:
March. 1918. That Field Marshal Haig was the prin-j
cip il opponent of complete Allied unity is of piquant
interest, hut, after all, it is now of academic in teres' !
'it greater lmmediati value for us today is Ge.i.
Bliss’s eloquent reminder nf two facts which the
American people have known so well what it scorns to
have succeeded in forgetting them.
One fact is that America’s representatives were the
first to recognize the need of Allied unity in the last
winter of the war and the first to begin pressure :n j
that direction. The other fact is that the Allies re
fined to learn the lesson of unity until overwhelming!
di sister hung over them.
Tin story cf tlie winter of 11)17-18 Is patently
about to repeat itself in the winter of 1922-23
under altered circumstances. Five years after the war
was nearly lost by the lack of Allied co-operation we
in tliis country are beginning to realize how tin
peace is in danger of being lost by lack of unity.!
but with this difference: Five years ago it was the
Allies who could not bring themselves to sacrifice
individual aims and anxieties fer the common good]
and it was America that had to plead for full co
rporation. Today it is wo who refuse to co-operate;
ind tiie Allies who have had to plead. We are being]
won ever ar the Allies were won over. But it has re
quired the menace of calamity to bring us round. The]
a llap e cf Germany which Bonar Law fears, the
try effect of such a German collapse upon France,
'he results lit Central Europe—these eventualities
have at last succeeded hi biting in upon the con
science cf the American people and of the Adminis
tration.
What would have seemed too good to he true only
fortnight age is a commonplace of the front pages
t! day. The United States preparing to intervene in a
, settlement of reparations, naturally without polit f
j cully “entangling” ttseir; the United States as a pue
blo umpire between France and Germany; the United
| State.-- induging in second thoughts about the rela
tion European debts to reparations—to sum it up,
the United States girding itself for affirmative action
] in place of empty moralizlngs and preachments in a
pectable that makes for a richer Christmas hope titan
i the world has enjoyed lor some time.
Delay is expensive. A great price had to lie paid
tier Allied unity in 1918, says Gen. Bliss, “tile larger
; p. rt of which might have been saved.” The price
f Invitation in war had to be paid In lives and
; Measure and nerves and an intensified < mbitterment
which got itself translated into the peace treaties.
The world has been paying an unnecessary price lor
i our hesitation in peace, ll is a pity that we should
I have needed the threat of catastrophe to spur us to
! action. But if the lesson could be learned In no other
I "ay. at least there are multitplying signs that the
j h son has been learned. There are signs that Am
erica will be found working for the single purpose
"f winning back the world to peace, as she worked
j for the single purpose of winning the war.
An Object-Lesson from Canada.
(New York World !
| For many years Canada lias lieen a fir. I-class cue
;'omrr of the United States. But when this country
.nil; its tariff barriers higher than ever Canada
jnatui.lly In self-protection looks elsewhere for more
favorable conditions for trading with foreign pro
j dueers.
So the Franco-Canadian commercial treaty is tin
■ acet tnpliBhcd fact. Under this arrangement Canada
and France stand mutually to gain and the United
Sidles because of its prohibitive tariff policy, to lose.
And a similar commercial treaty is in course of
. it<■ ,iiation between Canada and Belgium.
Franco gains by the admission of its exports to
.Cat' da at tariff rates which are the most favorable
i ace. rded to any country except Great Britain, and a
I large class of Canadian exports to France gels the
I benefit of lower French rates. It is the privilege
f Hie Fnlted Slates, while the bargain is being cur
I t ied out, to look on and regret the opportunities for
wending its foreign trade that it has deliberately
rt nouneed.
Incidentally, the Canadian Government, now
awakened to the advantages of a policy of reciprocity
• with the United States, makes overtures at Washing
ton and is bluntly rebuffed. And still as a Nation
i " e t.dk incessantly about the urgent need of a
large, foreign trade yet drive out customers to other
' markets.
C mgrctsman Hawes, of Missouri, proposes to ex
clude all anonymous letters from the mails. Now,
will some one show (his man from Missouri how to
put across his brilliant idea? (Philadelphia Record.)
In view of his disastrous defeat in the recent
parliamuitary race, H. G. Wells seems rather tardy
about coming out with a denunciation of the cor
ruption of politics.—(Detroit Free Press.)

Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper.
Thousands niton thousands of
women have kidney or bladder
trouble and never suspect It.
Women’s complaints often prove
to be nothing else but kidney
trouble, or the result of kidney or
bladder disease
If the kidneys are not in a
healthy condition, they may cause\
the other organs to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back,
headache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous,
irritable and may be despondent;
It makes any one so.
Hut hundreds of women claim
that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, byi
restoring health to the kidneys!
proved to be jusi the remedy needed
to overcome such conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to
°en what Swamp-Root, the great 1
kidney, liver and bladder medicine
will do for them. Uy enclosing ten
