the ranks of American business life by the publication of a sane,
forcefully edited, well-printed magazine, the Coming Nation
came into being. Charles Edward Russell, eminent in letters and
economics, laid on the editorial scourge in a graceful and pleas
ing manner, with due regard to rhetoric.
The Coming Nation was distinctly a publication of the better
sort. Excellently edited, and typograghically excellent, it threw
the white light of logic upon the sore spots of American econo
mics and politics. As a journal of reform it possessed few peers,
and commanded the respect of its contemporaries. Yet, in a
field already overcrowded by prosperous though less worthy
publications of reform, it perished of its politics—for which the
time is not yet come. Founded in 1910 and discontinuing pub
lication in the present month, the Coming Nation sustained a
deficit of nearly $15,000. The tired business man was not ready

POACHERS—AS PREDICTED
HE apparent disregard of certain members of the Josephine
county fishing association, but confirms the arguments
which have always been advanced for the closed river. The ar
rest and conviction of two members for illegal fishing by the
state’s wardens will scarcely put an end to the practice of dis
regarding the law and fishing off limits prescribed. Game and
fish wardens cannot be omnipresent, and the temptation to in
crease a large catch or help out a poor one by pulling a net in
prohibited water is frequently too great to resist. While any
portion of the river is closed to salmon netting, and another
open, violations are certain to occur—violations which mean in
creased expense to the state with a minimum of results in the
apprehension of the violators. To practically enforce the law
would necessitate the constant patrolling of every rod of river
from its mouth in the Pacific to the government hatchery—a
course that is impossible of adoption. The concession to Jose
phine county fishing interests in the recently enacted law has
amply fullfilled the predictions of those who opposed its enact
ment. In the meantime, with the salmon run on, residents of
other sections of the river country are compelled to pay an arbi
trary and preposterous price for their pound of Chinook—the
fish not yet taking the “spinner” generally, and the law prohib
iting their capture by other means than hook and line.
