that the Hon. Raymond Prefon-

there would be no seine fishing
at Missisquoi bay during the next
two or three months. 1t will be
recalled that in a letter to the
secretary of the North American
Fish and Game Protective Associ-
alton Feb. II Minister Prefon-
tame declined to prohibit the
issue of spring seining licenses
to Canadian fishermen. The
matter was then taken up with
President Roosevelt who was un-
derstood to be willing to see what
influence he could bri1g to bear
upon the Canadian authorities so
long as Vermont and New York
had agreed to stop spring SHINING

that this new decision of Minister

1t is altogether proper that
Montpelier should celebrate the
centennial of the esta blishment of
the seat of the State government
here. The appropriation of 1000
made by the city meeting for that
purpose will not cover the expense
of proper and fitting celebra-
ton, but it is enough for the city
to appropriate now. The celebra-
ton will not be altogether local
affair. The entire State is or
should be interested in it and
though the Legislature failed to
take any action it may reasonably
be expected that associations and
individuals outside of Montpelier
will join in the preparations.
Probably, also,s we shall hear
more or less in this connection
about removing the seat of gov
eminent, but situation that has
been satisfactory for century IS
not to be easily changed and after
all, there are comparatively few
people who desire a change.
Montpelier ought to have a cele-
bration of this century event of
which the Municipality and the
State may be proud.

From Our Exchanges.

Our Methodist friends will be
delighted to know that we are
going to preach sermon on the
evils of dancing. Dancing is
really playing the deuce with our
children. Every kind of an en-
tertainment or school festival
winds up nowadays with a dance.
The brains of the nations young
hopefuls are being tapped out OF
their toes on the waXed floor to
the tune of two-step. What is
the result? Tagging minds in
study classes the next morning,
sleepy eyes, no interest in the
finer, higher, intellectual accom-.
plishments of life. Morally there
is nothing wrong with the dance
in our eyes. We say let every
child take dancing lessons. The
training is invaluable. 1t teaches
grace self-possession, manners.
But like any good thing carried
to excess dancing plays the deuce
with children's brains. Can't
the teacher do something to stem
the tide towards the dancing as
senbly after 4 o'clock? Can't the
discourage the dancing feature of
the graduating exercises? Can't
they try to substitute lectures,
Shakesperian readings, fine
music ideals of a kind that help
to make statesmen, not whirling
dervishes of our boys, and high
minded women of our girls in
stead of tittering sinpletons.
Now, don't misunderstood US!
On with the dance! Let JOY be
unconined!-a the proper sea-
sons. But this giving of dance
ing party at the end of every
kind of gathering that can posi-
bly, furnish an excuse for doing so
"for the young people,, as said
before, is playing the deuce with
the whole country.

Gen. Kuropatkin's remarks at
the opening of the war which
were very picturesque and even
entertaining look woefully like
boasts pure and simple nowadays.
The world suspected that they
were the vain boastings of gen
eral who underestimated the foe
but it did not dream that the
boaster could not gain one single
victory from the despised enemy.
Early in March '04 he sent word
to his Gear that he would dictate
terms of peace in Toxic. Doubt
less the Gar will now be glad if
Oyama does not dictate terms
of peace at St. Petersburg. Kur-
opatiu's boast that when the
japanese army met his army, he
would flatten them out so fiat
that he could send them to Japan
in an envelope is hardly fulfilled.
His own army stands in more
danger of utter rout than the
Japanese army of being sent
home by mail. Japan all this
time kept silent, but there was a
smile lurking around which look
ed like the smile on a cats face
after she has just eaten the pet
canary.

1t is reported on good authority
that the graduation class is con-
templating a graduation trip into
Canada aud along the St. Law
renee instead of having a grad
uat1on week. This does not mean
that the class will have no exer-
cises at graduation time, but it
does mean that they will be SIM
plified and more in keeping with
a high school, and that the main
expense will be put into the trip.
We are sure the innovation will
meet with approval from the older
members of the town, and after
the class returns from a successful
and delightful trip, which will
mark the last of the q lass of 1905
as a class, the younger menu
hers of the school will look for
ward to the time when they shall
come to graduate and take this
class trip. Graduation will lose
half its horrors and add to its
pleasures If the new method is
followed up. 1t speaks well for
the common sense of the class
that they are planning to take
this new step. We congratulate
them upon the move.

External vigilance is the price

External vigilance is the price
of protecting Niagara Falls. The
last New York Legislature de-
feated bill which in effect would
drain the water from the falls to
supply electric power and light
ing, and the people felt relieved
that this worlds wonder was not
to be brought under the banner of
commercialism. Not only was
New York interested, but the
whole country deplored the posi-
h1lity of the havoc to be wrought.
This legislature has before it
another bill emanatlng from the
same source, desiring even greater
concessions than last winters bill.
The corporation wants the earth,
although it is not particular
about the gold fence around, but
would take it if it was thrown in,
and it wants the whole thing
for nothing. This new bill if
passed would practically give the
falls of Niagara to the corpora
ton that they may supply light
over an unrestricted area and
without payment in return for
this privilege. Beside it would
enter any city or town and light
itor furnish power without pay
ing franchise for the privilege.
The very audacity of the bill,
one would suppose would defeat
it, but there is the one chance
that it may pass that makes one
uneasy for the beauties of
Niagara.

Take every possible precaution
against getting a fire started.
This applies to everybody. We
all know that this has been Sc
we're winter for the water supply
and that in case of fire we would
probably have to contend against
low water and frozen hydrants as
we'll as the blaze. The only
safety lies for the towns people to
take absolutely no chances of fire.
A very little carelessness now
might burn a good portion of the

the people that there is no money

and is still so low to the pro-
