to say of Vermont as a place for a sum-

summer resort sections, retains its hold
upon the tourist from season to season.
It Is the Green Mountain'-the verdured
nountan-State, historic Bennington,
Mount Equinox and the hamlets among
the Green mountains. where trout dinners
are served; the regions east of Lake
Champlain; in the extreme northwest the
Missisuuoi valley, dotted with lakes and
streams, and Mount Mansfield. 4,35s feet
above sea level, are all we'll known to the
tourist"
All this, and everything else, helps.

ways in which, without money and with

REASONS WHY THE AUTHORITIES
SHOULD ENFORCE THE FISH
. AND GAME LAWS.
(From the Brattleboro Phoenixl
A thorough revision of the fish and
game laws of Vermont was made at tho
last session of the Legislature. The state
fish and game commissioners office was
reconstructed. making one commissioner
instead of two and placing the office on
ing the appointment of two county fish
and game wardcns in each county, being
in addition to the present town wardens.
More stringent laws were enacted relating
to fish and game. Still. understanding
all these restrictions. the wholesale de-
struction of our fish and game goes on
Large numbers OF deer and other pro-
tccted game are rcing killed out of sea-
Gel in, CT
ponds and lakes stl continues. The law
against Sunday hunting. which has Il
heavy penalty attached for each offence,
is violated from week to week.
The question is shall these laws for
the protection of our fish and game be
enforced? DO We wish to add to tho
present environments OF the Green
Mountain State by allowing the beautiful
deer and other harmless animals to roam
through our forests and fields unmolested,
except short open season each year.
and do we wish to further Vermont s
ATTRACTIONS by encouraging the best OF
fishing in our streams. ponds and lakes.
| as We should now inve If the present laws
were observed? If so. let all who call
themselves true sportsmen and are in
| tcrestcd in the preservation of our fish
and game. as we'll as the general welfare
of the State, use every legitimate means
in helping to secure this end.
The residents OF B,nnington county
have begun warfare against the So
called pot" hunters and fishermen by
forming IA protective fish and game league
association. So far good results have fol-
lowed The association has been In ex-
istence less than six months and we I'M
dcrstand that already between six and
seven hundred dollars in fines has been
collected from hunters and fishermen who
have disregardcd the laws. This clearly
| illustrates the wholesale slaughter of fish
and game throughout the State. Every
county should have its protective fish and
game league association that is offlcercd
by mon who will be fearless in their en-
doavors to see that fish and game laws
of the State are observed
NO-L1CENSE VERMONT AND LIQUOR
DEALERS.
| (From the Rutland News)
There is considerable discussion at the
present time in some of the State news
papers as to the large business done in
Vermont towns by mail order liquor
houses. 1t has been charged time and
time again that during periods of no.
license, immense quantities Of liquors
are shipped into the various towns and
cities by these outside liquor dealers. We
have always doubted the truth Of this
lcontentiOn.
rhe News has received advices from
reputable sources in Boston and New
York, after pretty thorough investiga-
ton, that Vermont is the most unprOfit-
able State such wholesale liquor dealers
have Oh their lists. 1.-THE general con-
sensus of opinion among these whskey

port made, lis that Verne 1t does not
pay them. They do not &C. returns for

ton. Some of these dealers are there.
