APPLAUD O’MALLEY
Because of the danger of depletion through un
regulated fishing, the several governments interested
in salmon fishing have assumed regulatory powers over
their own fisheries with the announced intention ot
conserving the national supply.
* pi consequence, competition within any country oi
with foreign countries is governed in a large measure
by the extent to which restrictive legislation has been
enacted and the strictness or laxity of law enforcement
within that country and within each of the competing
countries.
Obviously changes in regulations or their en
forcement in the United States or in any of the coni
peting countries may influence the effectiveness of the
customs duties on the various salmon products.
In view of the present splendid reports from prac
tically all points from the standpoint of cannervmen
who have passed through Seward, Henry O’Malley, U. S.
Commissioner of Fisheries, is apparantly, handling the
Alaska situation remarkably well. Just a few years ago
cannerymen, almost to a man, were more or less bitter
toward the Bureau of Fisheries but now, in all fairness
to the department, this feeling has disappeared and in
stead, O’Malley is applauded for sticking by his “guns.”
We will grant an armistice on the mosquito any
time they sed a leader to confer with us. All we want
to do is take away the 14 points.
EDISON’S MESSAGE
At the inauguration of Light’s Golden Jubilee, cele
brating the 50th anniversary of Thomas A. Edison’s
invetntion of the incadescent lamp, the great inventor
sent this message to the National Electric Light Asso
ciation
“When I invented the incandescent lamp, I real
ized that the lamp alone would not be enough It was
necessary also to perfect a system of electric genera
tion and distribution. I immediately set about to de
velop it, and it makes me happy to know that the
system as well as the lamp still persists in all its
essentials.
“I had in those days a high opinion of my inven
tion. All inventors have. But I must confess that I
never dreamed that from it would come the stupen
dous electrical industry of today.
“Naturally I am greatified to feel that I have
been privilaged to play a part in this vast achievement.
I am proud of the electrical industry—of its vision,
courage zeal and devotion to public service; and . I
suspect every American feels the same way about it.
“It is a great reward to me and the many colleagues
and co-workers who, I rejoice to say are still living,
that we have survived to see the full fruit of our
labors. The record is wonderful; but, fine as it is,
it can be made still better, and I have a feeling that
in your hands it will be.”
We would not make fun of Omar .We have loved
his philosophy since first we could read and under
stand. But when he says—
“Come fill the cup that clears
“Today of past regrets and future fears.”
we know doggone well that he wasn’t talking about
the present day, third rail variety.
