The vlthi noeti of a national policy

Joseph Ai Holmes, tho eminent North
Carolinian, who Is director of tho
!":,:tea States Bureau of Mines. Half
the. country's coal production of lust
year] he says, was wasted.
In round numbers, lust year's coal
output amounted to 600.000,000 tons.
Half of this, says Dr. Holmes, was
either wasted or lo.'t underground,
probably unlit for future use. More?
over, "users of coal, through faulty
methods, derived only about 10 per
?>nt if. the energy of the coal used."

Democrats not only hold their own.
but make an opprcclubto gain, tho
moro evenly balanced States will cer?
tainly return a! Wilson majority. The
facts In Vermont point to a sweeping
Democratic victory.
President Tatt held only two-tlilrOa
of the regular Republican vote, in
some States, more tinctured with
Kooscvoltlsm, he will not do so well.
Colonel Roosevelt secured about u
third of tho Republican vet", and If
in more locoed localities he polls ono

To tho Editor of Tho Timea-Dlspntch:

The omnipresent politicians for two
sessions of the Legislature have either
hilled or restricted all remedial ac

fish interests.

In the steamer Maury wc visited
Mobjnclt I'ay. int.. which four prolific
Vlvetfs empty. round nets seven nnd
one-half miles Ion:- lapped each other,
reaching from shore to shore across
the mouth of the bay. Those waters
uro the favorite spawning grounds fbc
millions of varied iish species, wlicre
they were wont to yearly migrate and
give life to Immense schools of val?
uable food supplies. Xo llsh could gel
I beyond those bftectlvc barriers, ami
t'o presentation of this fact lloored
even the festive politician. The length
of the pound nets was restricted, and
In some measure the tense eondltloni
, wore thUS relieved. On Inquiry, the
otii. lala on the Maury informed the
committee that, there were at least
S.inn p.om l hbts in Virginia, but Cotn
? mlsstonor Dec's report credited collec?
tions from )4.iS2 only, and said that It
cost more to collect the license lax
