BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER s, 1901.

known, and as is shown by the number
killed in Vermont in the recent open
season the last 10 days of October.
The cry is beginning to be raised that
the deer are becoming too plenty, and
that the open season ought to be
heightened by the next legislature.
The Springfield Republican, through
misinformation gained from some un-
known source, has recently printed
an editorial which has been exten-
sively copied, carrying the idea that
parts of Vermont are literally overrun
with deer, and that the farmers suffer
heavy losses from their inroads,
against which, under the law, they
have no protection.
The idea is absurd to one who knows
the facts There is now and then a
farm situated in proximity to mountain
or forest lands where the deer upon
occasion help themselves to a taste of
the farmers grass in early spring, or
possibly take a nibble at his growing
crops later on. But the loss is not
appreciable, and there are few farmers
who would not count if offset thou
sand times by the pleasure of seeing
these graceful animals once more do
mesticated in our state. 1t will be
found that it is not the farmers who
are demanding a longer open season,
but the hunters and the so-called
"sportsmen", who want a free hand
to kill every wild thing at sight. 1t
would be a foolish thing for us now to
throw away all that has been gained
by 20 years of protection.

For Immediate Attention.

The present condition of the Brattle-
boro & Whitehall railroad and the
manner in which it is being operated
ought to receive immediate attention.
1t is well known fact that the road
bed is in very bad shape. Many of
the ties are decayed, and few, If any.
new ones have been laid the past
season. The locomotives have seen
20 years of service-the average life
of such machines-and are worn out
so that breakdowns are of very fire.
quent occurrence. For a considerable
length of time during the past summer
only one machine has been available
for use. Several of the freight cars
which formed the original equipment
of the road have been destroyed in
wrecks. No new ones have been
bought, and it is impossible for
shippers to secure the cars necessary
for carrying on their business. The
running of the trains is so irregular
as to cause very great annoyance.
With such a situation in open weather,
serious apprehension is felt as to what
will happen during the coming winter
when snow and ice cover the country.
We are aware that the present
management has large interests on it's
hands,, and there are doubtless many
good excuses for not giving special
attention to this little narrow-guage
road. We suspect the fact to be that
the management does not fully realize
the situation. But the towns along
the line which bonded heavily for it's
construction are entitled to protec-
ton. 1t is time that prompt measures
were taken to lay the facts before the
management in a plain, straightfor-
ward way, and we have no doubt such
a statement would receive the con-
sideration it deserves. Responsible
men all the way from Brattleboro to
So. Londonderry ought to act at once.
Why not have an immediate confer
ence of such men to agree on plan of
action?

The Prohibitory Law.

The Rutland Herald makes reply
to the editorial in The Phoenix of last
week on the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law which is evidently in
( tended to be candid in it's treatment
of the question, but the Herald writer
entirely misapprehends our position
when he ridicules our proposition
that the law be strictly enforced for
two years, and then test the public
sentiment" and interprets it as "a
palpable sign of weakness" What we
mean is just this: One of Gen. Grants
most famous epigrammatical sayings
when he was President was, THE
way to get rid of bad law is to en-
force it." We apply this principle to
the prohibitory law, and say: Enforce
it; enforce it vigorously all over the
state long enough really to put it to
a test. and then take the conse-
quences. If it is a good law, it will
stand. If it is bad law the people
will repeal it.
1t seems to us that the only really
consistent course for outspoken op-
ponents of the law like The Herald
would be to demand and support its
enforcement on this ground, and then
stand by the result on public senti-
ment Our own observation in our
local field is that it is only when the
law is not enforced and things are
sN3yi6 fO
vernacular) that the law is derided,
and denounced as impossible of en-
forcement. There has been mighty
little talk of this kind in Brattleboro
and in the rest of Windham county
the past month.
The Phoenix does not believe, and
has never claimed, that prohibition is
the only way to deal with the liquor
evil. We have no idea that every
man who believes in and advocates
high license is a moral pervert. On
the contrary, we suspect that, take
the whole country over, there are as
many consistent temperance men who
believe in stringent high license as in
prohibition. But here in Vermont
prohibition is the chosen way, and
we shall never see the question salts
factorily and conclusively settled
while half-and-half measures are in
operation, and while good citizens like
the owners and editors of The Herald
stand by and jeeI at the mistakes the
other fellows are making. 1t would
only put more powder in the guns of
the prohibitionists to force a high
license law on the state in the pres
ent situation.
The case is before the peoples
court, and we believe it has got to be
tried out to a finish on the lines sug-
gested last week, and here renewedly
advocated.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1901-11-08

Those who have watched the course
of the case of Charles Doherty, con-
victed and sentenced to death fol- the
killing of Fred Murphy at Bolton Falls
two years ago last February, will have
no doubt that the final decision of the
supreme court that Doherty must pay
the full penalty of his crime is right.
The facts are told in our state news
column today. People are growing
to have less and less patience with
attempts to save the necks of crimin.
ais through pleas of insanity. In
Doherty's case there was not only the
slightest possible ground on which to
base such a plea but it was evident
that the plea itself was an after
thought. Let the death penalty be
abolished if we have reached a height
of civilization where it can be safely
done. But while the law remains on
the statute book, men who murder in
cold blood ought to hang for it.

The War in South Africa.

These are blue times for the English
people so far as the war in South
Africa is concerned. At the end of
last week there came news of a Sc
rious reverse to the British army in
the eastern part of the Transvaal. The
British lost eight or ten commissioned
officers, including the gallant Col. Ben
son, so non-commfssioned officers, and
large number of men from the ranks
Although 100000 men are already in
the field to fight the Beers, more
troops are called for, and the British
war office has issued orders to re-en-
force Lord Kitchener with every avail
able infantryman in England.
The Boston Transcript explains in
telligibly why the British, with so
large a force, are unable to make
more rapid headway against the
Beers. 1t is, in short, because the
distances are so great, and the Beers
are broken up into a great number of
small bands which operate ,independ-
emily of each other, and with no fixed
purpose except to do all the harm pos
sible to the British. This keeps a
corresponding number of the British
detachments engaged in fighting these
bands, or "commandos," and the Beers
have an immense advantage because
they know the country so much better
than do the British. The main line
on which the British depend, and
which they must guard at all costs, is
that from Cape Town to Johannes
burg and Pretoria. 1t is 1040 miles
long, almost as far as from Boston to
Chicago. This line is crossed at
right angles by another, along which
the Beers operate from time to time,
which stretches from the Indian ocean
to the Atlantic, and is about 700 miles
long. These figures give an idea OF
the work Lord Kitchener has in hand
to meet the constant attacks of the
Beers over such wide spaces. There
will be but one end to the struggle
the English will win, but it is a long
road, and one on which neither
country ought ever to have entered.

Between the Devil and the Deep Sea.

The st. Albans Messenger devotes a
leading editorial to a strongly stated ar
gument why Lieut.. Gov. Martin F. Allen
ought to resign so that when he appears
for trial next month it will be as Martin
F. Allen, plain citizen, and not as Mar
tin F. Allen, lieutenant-governor of YER
mont. Commenting on the general ques-
ton, the Barre Times says:
whether Lieutenant-G Governor Martin
f. Allen should resign seems to have be-
come a burning issue, under Indictment
as he is for completely in bank looting.
If Mr. Allen is innocent of all wrongs
there is no reason why he should resign
and if he is guilty he won't dare resign
for fear il would be a straw taken to
indicate guilt. 1t is a situation that can
hardly be cured but it might easily have
been prevented"
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1901-11-08

A word by way of postscript about
the Herald's declaration that
"A former generation invented a crime
and our moral teachers have developed
a system of ethics to go with 1t. =. e. .
The whole tone of the average prohib pa
per is that it is morally wrong per Sc to
sell liquor, as II is morally wrong to
steal a mans property. This position
cannot be nationally defended"
On this question of morals there is
a very radical difference of opinion, to
say the least. The present genera
tion, no less than "a former genera
tion," has a right to protect itself
against one of the most destructive
forms of vice. Whether it is or is
not morally wrong to sell liquor we
believe this to be true. and proved
over and over again to every candid
mans observation: that there is no
business on earth so utterly destruct-
i've of a mans moral nature as the re-
tail liquor trade. An hundred times
over have we all seen it happen that
no sooner does a man commit him
self to this traffic for the money there
is in 1t than his whole moral fibre
weakens and he seems almost to
lose his active, responsible sense of
right and wrong.

1t is said that our Indian policy will
see radical changes under the Roose-
welt administration. The tendency
will be to remove all influences which
tend to pauperize the Indians. Rations
will be cut off, and the money will be
used instead for local improvements.
There will be renewed effort to do
away with the tribal relations. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's acquaintance with
the far West and the native Indian
life has enabled him to form indepen-
dent ideas on this subject.

The city of London was blanketed Mon
day with the worst fog the metropolis has
seen in years. All traffic was interrupted,
and hundreds of thousands of suburban
people were lost in an attempt to find
their way to the railroad stations. The
railroad trains themselves were stalled
by the thick vapor. In Trafalgar square
and around the Houses of Parliament
hundreds of vehicles were massed in
inextricable confusion. Even the mount
ed police got lost in trying to clear the
jam, and link boys ran about with
times.
