WHAT ARE THE WARDENS
DOING ABOUT 1T ALL?

The following open letter appeared In

OF common sense and Justice:
To the Editor OF the News
In ana about the waters Of Nara
gansett bay and Providence river there
seems 20 be either lack Of knowledge
or an absolute disregard OF law In the
shooting or water fowl from motor and
sail boats. Last Saturday and Sunday
the writer happened to be in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Hope island and found
from 80 to 35 boats. all propelled by power
or sail or both. carrying parties ranging
from two or three UP to eight or nine.
armed with rifles. shotguns and auto
matte guns, all chasing wild water fowl
wherever seen. with the result that the
birds were driven to all points OF the
compass. In fact, the shooting was con-
Quoted to such an extent that the birds
scarcely had opportunity to rest on the
water
In writing this article do so simply 10
call attention 10 the law which provides
a fine OF 500 for each OFFENCE OF shooting
wild water fowl from any boat propelled
or driven by sail or motor. To say the
least. shooting Of this kind is decidedly
unsportsman and will within very
short period drive all water fowl from the
bay May we not trust that our bird
commissioners and wardens will give this
matter their immediate attention. An
example OF one or two arrests with fines
imposed would be all that is required to
stop this illegal shooting. III. r. b.

ON AUTOMOBILE RACING.

British comment on our automobile race
of Oct. includes expressions OF aston
ishment at the Indifference OF American
crowds 10 the commands Of the law as
personifed in deputy sheriffs and police
men. Our cousins think II gravely scan
dalous that the crowds could not be held
in check in the Long Island course by the
officers of the law. 1t is scandalous. But
the crowd was enormous and peculiar.
the officers OF the law were amateurs and
very few in proportion TO the number OF
the spectators To keep a course clear in
Ireland Is one thing To keep course
clear within twenty miles OF New York Is
another. even though official authority
is more respected in Europe than In the
States" On most OF the course the people
were orderly enough, and when all the
moralists have finished their dlsparage-
ment OF the race as a spectacle IL still
remains true that II was n mighty inter
esting performance that left lasting Inn
pressions on the attentive mind. The ac-
cidents were few when the possibilities OF
accidents are considered. on the whole,
the racers were lucky. The one machine
that bolted the course did no very serious
damage. In the case of Mr.. Sheppard.

Utter's declarations If it isn't smothering his
manhood to withhold interference with the scandal
Gus and outrageous traffickng in the laws of this
state by caous and ignoble boss, and by craven
refusal to denounce that boss and his shameful
practices let Governor Utter tell the citizens, whose
votes he pleads for, what it is
If he didn't smother his judgment when he
submitted his constitutional proposition for the ap-
prova Of the boss before he presented it to the leg
isature, will he explain what he did do2
But in all things have served my oath, which
was to be true and to faithfully support the laws
and constitution of the state, so help me God
Very effective and emnently proper if it is true.
But is it true?
Governor Utter was, no doubt, faithfully sup
porting the laws when he ordered the sheriff OF
Providence county to put end to gambling in re-
mote and secret places in Waterford and Thorn
ton, but was he faithfully supporting them when
he failed TO order stopped the open and fragrant
violation of the anti-gambling laws during the run
ming meeting at Narragansett park'
Was he scrupulously true to his oath when he
published for pay in his newspaper advertisements
brazen nfraction of the law went unchecked
and unpunished?
Can it be the governor regards gambling in Sc
cluded places in country towns, to which only
known spectators in chance gain admttance,
as dangerous and demoralzing offence against the
majesty of the law, and gambling before thousands
at public track only harmless and in
nocent pastime9
These are questions to which the public de-
mands and has right to demand frank and
straightforward answer.
Will the governor make such answer will
he draw tighter the muzze Braytonism has fas
tened upon him and pursue to the end the pusilani
nous policy of silence and evasion that has already
made his reputation the polls moral certainty?

GODDARD OR COLT?

Citizens of Rhode Island need no longer give
any consideration to George Peabody Wetmore as
candidate for reelection. He is out of the sena-
torial contest and out OF it for good
Samuel Pomeroy Colt president OF the Indus
trial Trust company, president OF the United
States Rubber Trust and director in the American
Woolen and several other trusts, is the candidate
against Colonel Robert II. l. Goddard.
The question to be decided by the electors is,
therefore, simple one. 1t is whether they will
elect to the general assembly men who will send
to the national senate clean. upright, able and
representative of the people, or
whether they will elect men who will send TO Wash
ington man whose sole claim TO preferment is
based upon wealth obtained from trusts and
through the grinding operations OF trusts.
The Republicans claim they want to send to
Washington a senator who will uphold the pres-
dent and his policies If they succeed in sending
Samuel Pomeroy Colt he will faithfully support
Nelson w. Aldrich in making upon Roose-
welt and his antitrust policies
If the Democrats successful they will send
to the senate Colonel Goddard, who stands pledged
to faithfully watch the interests of the people
and to Loyalty support the president in his efforts
to compel the trusts to their illegal and un
warranted oppression of the people
AS between these two men the electorate will
make its choice on November 8 and il wisdom, pru-
dence and patriotism prevail that choice will fall
upon the standard bearer of the forces OF civic
righteousness.
