GOOD WORD FOR CHASE.
Manchester Journal UphOlds Present County
Warden.

The Manchester Journal OF this week
had the following editorial headed,
County Fish and Game Warden:'
At meeting of the Bennington Fish
and Game Club held last Saturday
evening. the question of reducing the
length of legal trout to less than six
inches was warmly advocated by one,
Daniel Rifenburg, who, later on, was
declared by the sense Of the meeting
to be the choice of the members pres.
ent for county warden, as against the
present incumbent, Harry Chase. The
one redeeming feature of the meeting
was the fact of the small attendance.
We are not acquainted with the pecul-
lar qualifications OF Mr. Rifenburg for
the important position Of county war.
den, but we do not think man who
would reduce the size OF legal trout to
less than six inches would be good
man for the job. He's certainly a poor
specimen OF a sportsman who would
waste his time advocating the catching
OF trout that were less than an ounce
in weight, as it takes about sixteen
six-inch trout to make pound.
Even the fingerlings which have been
put into the streams this fall would not
be safe under the care of such man,
as some of those which we're recently
put In here at Manchester we're nearly
five inches in length.
The only people to whom Harry
Chase, the present warden, is offensive
are those who like to violate the law,
and we earnestly hope that, should
Commissioners Thomas be reappointed
by Gov Proctor, he will see to it Mr.
Chase will be reappointed for Benning-
ton county, as the only thing we have
ever heard against him is that at times
he is liable to be over-zealous, but
that's mighty good qualification and
one which too few wardens possess.
