The Most Atroeious Form of "sport.'

OF all the atrocities committed in
the name of sport the worst is the
team hunt for points which we read
about daily at this season. Sides are
chosen, nearly every living thing Of
the neighborhood which enjoys the
free out door life is marked at a GER
tain number of points-when dead
and the hunters stalk forth with only
one object-to kill, and, it might be
added, to kill as much as possible.
When the game has been brought in
the points" are figured up, and the
side having the smaller score pays for
the supper at which some of the game
shot which is edible is served, while
the mighty nimrods draw the long
bow in recalling their valorous ex
ploits in wholesale killing of defence
less birds and animals and stuff them
selves with food. The field and the
forest, the lake and the stream, may
furnish sport which is wholesome
conducive alike to mental and bodily
health, and even positively uplifting
through putting one in touch with ma
! ture in her varied forms, but these
team hunts are simply barbaric, de
velopment Of course natures ant
brutal wills.

The st. Albans Messenger advises
the general assembly to abolish the
empty office OF judge advocate gen.
eral, and says it could do mo more
sensible thing, for a small one, than to
wipe out the whole idea of govern
or's staff, as presently provided for,
and let details for a military escort
for the governor be made of deserving
officers of the First Regiment, who
would be assigned to this duty as a
reward of faithful service and merit. ;
This advice is particularly pertinent
coming from an ex-oficer of the Nat
ional Guard and volunteer army who
was later an aide on a governors staff

The Need of Stricter immigration
Laws.

The Need of stricter immigration
Frank p. Sargent, the Vermont man
who is commissioner Of immigration,
in his annual report, deals pointedly
with the problem of checking the in
fiux of undesirable immigrants. The
immigration figures have been rising
steadily during the recent prosperous
years, and in the past year 64S,743
aliens landed on our shore to seek
homes. This increase compared with
the previous year was a little less
than one-third, but the comparative in
crease of disease among the immi-
grants was more than two to one. At
present the diseased immigrants are
simply deported. The commissioner
urges more rigorous protection, and
suggests medical inspection by the
transportation companies at the ports
OF departure. More than one-third OF
the arrivals the last year were Hitter
ates, unable to read and write. With.
out committing himself directly to the
reading test the commissioner OBJ.
serves that the figures indicate how
effective the test, applied to persons
between Is and so years old, as pro-
posed in Congress, would be in exclud.
ing illiterates.
The increase in immigration is
largely from Italy, Austria-Hungary
and Russia, which sent us respectively
in year $4,000. 172,000 and 100000
persons. The frequency with which
those frayed remnants of humanity
known as Russian Jews are brought
through Vermont from Canada by car
loads raises the question whether the
immigration laws are as strictly en-
forced on our northern border as In
the great cities. One may visit the
immigration office in New York many
times without seeing such bizarre, dis
torted, repulsive. filthy bipeds as have
been left at the railroad station in
Brattleboro a dozen times the past
year.

In remarks before the temperance
committee the other evening Mr..
White, the member from Woodstock,
told the committee in an emphatic
way, in substance, that while a ma
jority of the people of Woodstock
would favor local option law, they
are unalterably opposed to the open
saloon" This is the. position of the
people in very great number of the
towns of Vermont. Thousands Of the
strongest temperance people of the
state would have no objection to the
sale of liquors under a rigidly restric'
tive license law If the introduction OF
open and legalized saloons could be
avoided. The st. Albans Messenger,
a high license paper. first made this
suggestion. Let us see what the tenn
perance committees deliberations
bring forth in this respect.

Wednesday Eyening. oct. %.

The social events of the week cul-
minated in the reception given by Mrs.
Mccullough at the executive mansion
this afternoon to the visiting ladies,
followed by Gov. McCullough's recep-
ton at the executive chamber in the
evening, and the inaugural ball at the
armory. The arrangements for the
reception were elaborate and admir-
ably carried out The floral decora-
tions were profuse and very beautiful.
After the reception the company pro-
ceeded to the armory for the ball.
The grand march was led by Gov. Nc
Cullough and his daughter, Mrs. Tur-

To be a good legislator it is not
necessary for one to make a lot of
speeches or to introduce numerous
bills. The work in the legislature is
prolonged and delayed, so that much is
unfinished when Thanksgiving week
comes, by the prevalence of the idea
that a man must do something to
make a record, thereby squaring him
self with his constituency. They
also serve who only stand and wait
and it might be added that the legis-
lator also serves who keeps his mouth
shut unless he has something to say.

The petitions praying for woman suf-
frageand Tor the retention of the pro-
hibitory law have become such a joke
in the House that whenever a member
arises to offer one he does 1t with an
air of humility which says palmer than
words: Il can't help 1t. 1t is one of the
penalties of being a servant of the peo-
ple."-tSt. Adams Messenger Correspond
ent.
There is no objection to the intro
duction of these petitions on the re-
quest of people who think they are
doing their duty in drawing them up
and getting them signed. But what the
legislature of Vermont is called upon
to do at this session is to enact the
very best high license law that can be
put together, and then submit it to the
people to say whether they want this
kind of law. or whether they want to
continue under prohibition.

Senator Proctor Against Tariff Re-
vision.

Senator Proctor said in an interview
in Washington a few days ago that
there was no sentiment for tariff re-
vision in Vermont, and that it was his
personal opinion that while there were
some items in the tariff schedules
which could we'll be changed there
seemed to be no need for a general
revision.
I'VE cannot, however, change the
tariff gradually" said the senator. 1T
is not feasible"
Tariff tinkering is a difficult job.
When change is made for one interest
an endless chain of other interests
clamors for attention. 1t strikes the
| average person, who has not run
against the intricacies of legislation,
| that If there are industries in this
country, protected by the tariff. which
sell their products in foreign markets
for rate lower than that which Amer
leans are compelled to pay in the home
market, then these industries should
be stripped Of their protection and
compelled to run alone.

F you are about to purchase piano. it is natural
that you should be specially desirous of making
a wise selection.
A piano means an. investment of considerable

that choice is Important

Senator Emery Of Orange county
has introduced an elections bill which
aims to clean up our state politics by
defining and limiting the purposes for
which candidate for office may
spend money. The purpose of the
bill is good. But can't the same re-
suit be arrived at by an easier and
more effective way by simply compell-
ing every candidate to tell how much
money he has spent and what he has
spent it for? 1t is publicity and not
the restrictions that will keep the ex-
penditures within legitimate bounds.
