DEER SHOOTING OVER
Many Hunters Out and Lot OF
Big Bucks Killed.

The deer shooting season, which
opened rather dlscouragingly for the
swarms of hunters, has proved quite
successful and there is good pro.
portion of hefty bucks among the
killed.
One OF the last ones brought into
Woodstock was shot by Charles Fur
mans son on Stafford hill in Bridge
water. 1t was fat one, weighing
2o5 pounds dressed. and had a fine
pair of antlers.
Barnard reported eight killed
several days ago and comes up As n
rival to Plymouth rs Il hunting
ground.
A buck shot by Ed Cushman of
Hartland had eleven points, and
several other Hartland hunters were
successful.
Sam Cady shot 3l7-pound buck
in Barnard.
One report is that twelve deer
were shot in Sherburne, several day S
before the season closed.
Pomfret reports two killed. A
bear, probably stirred up by the deer
hunters, is said to have been seen at
South Pomtret, en- route to Barnard.
While w. L. Mack was watching
for game near stream, Il big buck
leaped over him from Il ledge above
and fell into the water. With the
help of a couple of hunters MIR.
Mack drowned the animal.
WENT OVER THE DAM.
Allen Pinnev wounded buck
while hunting near Mr.. Minors
place near l'ridgewater Corners and
followed it to the river, above the
village. The deer had sought the
river for safety, and at about that
time a dead deer was seen to go over
the dam. Mr.. Pinncy could find no
trace of it below the dam.
1t is reported that Mr.. Pinney's
deer was picked out Of the river at
Quechee ii day or two after the
shooting.
Charles ". Cox ran across a big
buck on the ridge between Lakota
park and Bridgewater Hollow Il few
rays ago and promptly nailed him.
He weighed 27o pounds.
&. A. !. White, who usually gets
/ deer when he goes after one, shot

Reform a Vital Necessity.

Tariff reform must be made part
of the Republican program. If it is
not, then the faith upon which recent
Republican success was founded will
vanish and the Republican party will.
transfer the opportunity to it's politi-
cal enemies. Tariff reform is vital
issue with the people and it must be
made so with any party which hopes
for permanent success.

REGULATION of the Trusts.

Mr.. Roosevelt's idea is to put the
screws upon the trusts by proceedings
under existing laws, and to
strengthen the law where it may be
found necessary by additional legis-
lation. But this, while eminently de-
sirable, is slow and long process.
There is a shorter way to secure pro-
lection for the public against present
extortion in the matter of prices, and
this is to remove at once the tariff
duties on articles controlled by trusts.
This would put a stop to the robbery
of the people, and meanwhile the
President could go ahead with his
plan of regulation and publicity.

LOOKING for Greater Profits.

Our esteemed friends of Massachu-
sets are making hot fight for free
hides. We wish them all success, for
the duty on hides is absurd. But we
wonder whether our friends would
consent to free boots and shoes, free
wooden and cotton goods, or to the
serious reduction in the duties on any
of the products which they manufac-
ture. To leave these other duties as
they stand now and to remove the
duty on hides would be to give SO
much more protection to the indus
tries using hides as raw materials.

trying to follow him. The smoke was
rapidly becoming heavier and more

roar of the flames from the rear. No
one fingered longer than necessary
after finding the way to possible
safety"
Meantime the firemen and several
patrolmen had again started to climb
the stairs in the hope of reaching the
upper floors. Detective Sergeants An
derson and Ellsworth managed to
reach the top of the building. In
corner near the head of the stairway
they found Mrs. Nina Belder, her II
year-old daughter Cora, and Mrs. Geo.
Cleft and her 9-year-old son. Remov.
ing their overcoats, which they threw
over the shivering women, the two de.
tectives carried them down the stairs
to a place of safety in an adjoining
building.
Mrs. June Shepherd of Cairo, ILL.,,
who was occupying room on the
fourth floor with her 10-year-old son
Fred, was awakened by the smoke.
Rushing to the door, she opened 1t,
only to find the hallway filled with
flames. Screaming. she slammed the
door and started toward the window.
Her son grasped her clothing and
chung fast until the two were rescued
by the firemen.
Mrs. Shepherds screams awakened
several persons in the rooms adjoining
her own, and doubtless saved their
lives.

The Inquiry Should Be Searching.

The probability is that there is a
skeleton in every closet into which
the coal combine is likely to look.
This being so. 1t cannot open too
many doors or inquire too curiousfy as
to what may be behind them. The
public interest will be served in the
fullest sense by bringing them to
light, to the end that wrongs may be
corrected, abuses reformed, the laws
enforced, new laws enacted II neces-
sary and the consumer given such
protection as he is entitled to claim
against everything in the shape OF
conspiracy in restraint of trade.

Will Not Avail Much Longer.

Mr.. Grosvenor-and he represents a
large Republican element in congress-
says that when revision comes il
must come by the Republican party.
But repeating this familiar statement
and putting off the fulfillment of the
promise is going to result very soon
ir. passing the work of revision over
to the Democratic party. The idea
that the work must be done by Repub
licans but that Republicans must not
do the work has had its run and will
not serve much longer.

The Presidents Position.

According to an administration
journal the president will not lend
himself to the scheme for attacking
the trusts through the tariff" AS that
was percisely the scheme" which he
limited at during the recent campaign,
we must conclude that Senator Aid,
rich and the other protectionist doc
tors have succeeded in driving the
virus of free trade out Of his excel,
lency's system. 1t remains to be seen,
however, whether congress has been
similarly cleansed of the infection.
