FRIDAY. SEPIEMBER 9 |g|3 A BRIIISH At a luncheon tendered by the Regina Canadian Club to the Right Hon. Herbert Samuel, a British Liberal, now visiting Canada, the guest of honor in the course of an address said: "A navy cannot be hastily impro- vised. If a land war arises a whole nation can spring to arms and ra- pel the invaders, but it takes two years to build a battles_hip, and a long time to man and train the crew. lf war should come, if Great liritain should through any reason be attacked on the water it will be too late then to devise your naval policy that it may be of assistance in protecting the British Empire." Canadians who are not politically biased will accept this view as a most reasonable one. Premier Bord- en'a proposal to purchase three Brit- ish built ships and place them at the ilu.;-osal of the British Admiral- ty would have met the condition re- ferred to by Mr. Samuel. It is pos- sible thnt war may not prove the criminal folly of the Liberal Senate in blocking this proposal but, war or no war, the folly is evident and. Canadians generally, with the excep- tions above_noted, recognize it as such. If war, unfortunately, should come even the exceptions would find little consolation in the thought that Canuda's hands were held and that she was powerless to help be- cause a Grit Senate refused to allow Canadians to extend the hclp they were so willing to give.

It beats the newspaper business hollow. Mr. Secretary Bryan has concluded his six weeks’ lecture tour and says his office has not suilered from his absence. 'l‘hat's the advantage of being a flgurehead, anyway. It is not true, as is being humor- ously asserted in some English week- lies, that it was Col. Sam Hughes who concluded his reply on behalf of Canada to the'toe.st of the British Empire as follows: "No, sir! The British Lion, whether he is crossing the plains of India or climbing the pines of Canada, will never draw in its horns nor retire into his shell." The “bull," we recollect was ascribed to Lord Curzon-then plain "George Augustus Curzon, a very superiah pusson"--when he was Pre- sident of the Oxford Union. Mrs. Samuel Ralston, wife of the Governor of Indiana, has hit upon a happy scheme to convert the world to "votes for women." "Give me the edltor's wife," she says, "and I'll guarantee you the vote. Every editor likes a woman who can give him fried chicken, hot biscuits, and__ peach cobbler. Let the wives of edi- tors tickle the palate thus, and the . '~ vote is a foregone conclusion.” We can at any rate guarantee the edi- tors will not go on hunger strike. cost of living has risen 60 per cent since 1900.

With this pest the-'lessors of . the areas under cultivation 'are now con- tending. Ths oyster. drsdges are pro- vided with _sweops which are drag- ged over the ground and which. by their peculiar construction, gather all the star-heh in their track. This method has proved.very eifective on the areas under cultivation and it was observed that, whereas the few star-fish while going over these- aress, large quantities were always secured when the boats went beyond these. It is'evident therefore that, in order to protect the oysters not only on the cultivated but on the public areas as well, something more than private enterprise will be re- quired. The star-fish must be held in check in the interests of the whole oyster industry and it is hoped that the Government which has made such an excellent beginning may deVis0 u means of protecting it from this danger. . It has' been observed by fishermen who have kept in touch with mat- ters in Richmond Bay that while lobsters were abundant there was little if any trouble with star-fish. It was only when the lobsters were practically fished out that the rav- ages of,the star-fish began. From this it has naturally been inferred that the lobster prays on the star- fish, and that if it could be induced to continue the same diet the rav- ages of this pest would be greatly reduced, to the immense benefit of the oyster industry. How to encourage the lobster to eat the star-fish is the problem. Given a sufficient supply of lobsters they would provide their own en- couragement; they would find their own food and that food would con- sist largely of star-fish. Richmond Bay once fairly tcemed with lobsters. It was a natural nursery for lobsters. Here they were safe from their. enemy the codfish which, according to the findings of fish experts, is their greatest enemy. A witness giving evidence before the Conservation Commission asserted that he had seen the bodies of six lobsters in the stomach of a cod that weighed 70 pounds dressed. It has been declared by many who profess to know that the lobster hatcheries, as at present conducted, serve only to furnish food for cod- dsh; that the lobsters which survive the perils of babyhood are gobbled up by the cod as soon as they are large enough to make it worth while eating them. As already stated, Richmond Bay has proved itself a natural nursery for lobsters. The shoal waters were of the proper temperature for hatch- ing the spawn; no enemy could get in from the open sen; the lobsters grew, multiplied and ate star-fish; in their migrations _many of them found their way to the sea and spread themselves along the coasts of the,Island, particularly along the north coast. And many shrewd fishermen along the shores of this magnificent bay conclude from this b,it of history that a restoration of these condi- tions is feasible; that Richmond Bay could be restored to its original status as ii lobster nursery; that its waters would again teem with lob- sters; that the lobsters would de- stroy thc star-fish; that the oysters, immune from their greatest enemy, would thrive and multiply, and that the overflow from the lobster nur- sery would replenish the waters around the Island. There is much to substantiate the argument and the suggestion has been made that lobster fishing in the bay should be prohibited. Against the argument is the fact that there nre several lobster factories situat- ed on and drawing their supplies from the bay. True, of late years the supply of lobsters has been very limited, so limited as to make the fishing scarcely worth while. This, it is argued, would make the afllili- cation ol\the remedy ull the Basie' at present. In view of the benefits to be derived, the protection to the oyster industry and the prabable- almost certain-increase of lobsters, would it not be in the general inter- est of all that tho vested interests fn the lobster industrv be purchased by the Government. the whole buy closed against lobster fishing for a term of years sufficiently long to prove the experiment? So, at least, argues many of those who have giv- en the question some careful study. One thing is certain, namely, that the wealth of the fisheries in Rich- mond Bay is such as to iustliy con- servation on a large scale. Past zen- srations have been verv prodigal with the Island's natural resources. No attempt whatever was made to safeguard the ordinary sources of wealth. The folly of this system is now apparent. It is realized that there must be sowing if there is to be any reaping, that there must be some sacrifice if there is to be any reward. If ft should be necessary to cut off a small revenue for a time to ensure a greater. fn the future; if it should be found necessary to close af few lobster factories in order to secure a larger quantity of fish in the near future, the present loss for by the greater gain in` after years, and it would be conservation. sweeps brought up comparatively would bo more than compensated.

Mr. Borden congratulated the regiment on its appearance and on the success of some of its members on the riiie range at Ottawa. 1-le spoke of the sense of their duty to the empire which he knew animated the men and that they would be ready for service whenever called upon. Afterwards the Prince minister visited the non-com- mlssioned mess and the officers' mess. Mr. Borden met Sergeant-Major Lock- hart and had a pleasant chat with him. He remembered the time in 1875 when "Archie" Lockhart gave him his first lessons in military drill. HUERTA DEFIES UNITED STATES. »ivioN'rnnAL. Que., sept. 11.- A Central News despatch to the Herald says that'provincfal President Hu- erta’s message to be delivered to Congress this evening, will be far from being pacific in its utterances in regard to the policy of the Wash- ington administration and contains language which is tantamount to a bold defiance of the United States' and plainly hints at the early prea- entation of an ultimatum to Wash- ington in respect to the continued presence of United States Warship in ,Mexican waters. The following are the most. striking and significant paragraphs in I-Iuert,a‘s message. “Mexico takes exception to the presence of United. States warsbips in the harbors of the republic and will probably inform the United States next month that the government cannot permit longer the presence of foreign man-of-war unless for special purposes. “Mbxico has an army of 100,000 bound to the republic.by the ties of warmest patrions and all ready at a moment’s notice to arise in the defence of the country. ~ BOYS ARE GUILTY __ OF BURGLARY .

Magistrate Cameron lectured the boys on the seriousness of their of¢ fence and told them if they were go- ing to do any good in the world they would have to improve their ha- bits. He intimated to them that they were liable to fourteen years in the penitentiary, but on account of their youth he would allow them' to ,go on suspended sentence for two years., during which' time if they committed any crime he would have them brought before him and given the sentence which they were now gettfngclear of.
