FISH AND GAME LEGISLATION.

At the risk of being accused of de-
voting too much space to the discussion
of fish and game legislation we bespeak
the attention of the joint committee on
game and fisheries to the resolutions
passed by the Windham County Fish
and Game Protective association at a
recent meeting. These resolutions de-
clare in favor of an open season on
partridge and all other game birds from
Sept. to Dec. l. with a limit of five
birds of one kind in day and 80 of a
kind in season. Both these recon-
mendations seem fair. The present open
season is from Sept. | to Jan. |, and it
is stated that the committee on game
and fisheries desires to cut off the month
of September. To us this looks like
near-sighted policy. Aside from being
the most enjoyable month in which to
hunt, September is the time when the
birds are given the most protection on
account of the leaves on the trees.
Then, too, the flight woodcock are fire.
quently cone by Oct. /, and the change
would mean abolition of the sport they
offer. IF it is thought wise to shorten
the open season on birds, December is
the month to curtail. Little pleasure
comes from hunting at that time, and
the sport derived from knocking
chilled grouse from the top of spruce
sapling is tame compared to that which
comes from flushing a covey in the
beauty of an early autumn forest.
In regard to trout fishing, the reso-
lutions ask that for Windham county
the open season on trout be from April
to Aug. l, instead of from May l to
Aug. l, as at present. This is at vari-
ance with the idea of the joint commit

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don t Mistake the Cause Of Your Troub-
les-A Brattleboro Citizen Shows
How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their kid
news. If suffering from lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is only
a muscular weakness; when urinary
trouble sets in they think it will soon
correct itself. And so it is with all the
other symptoms of kidney disorders.
That is Just where the danger lies. You
must cure these troubles or they lead to
diabetes or Bright S disease. The best
remedy to use is Doan S Kidney Pills.
1t cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Brattleboro
reople testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. NJ. w. Bingham, wife of M. W.
Bingham, carpenter, of 8 Prospect
street, Brattleboro, Vt, says: Resi-
dents of this city will remember the
testimonial in which Mr. Bingham rec
commended Doan s Kidney Pills some
seven years ago. Previous to that time
he had been more or less bothered by
symptoms. He procured Doan.'s Kid
new Pills, and their use absolutely
proved that the claims made for this
preparation were not exaggerated.
Since then there have been times when
he has had slight returns of the trouble,
but he has always used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they have on each occasion
stopped the attack before it became at
all bad. We are glad to recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills whenever an OPP
portunity presents itself. F"

industrial developments. There will
also be an editorial summary of news

in particular while national and for

tee. which is in favor Of making the
season open May Is all over the state
We have spoken frequently about the
benefits likely to be derived from an
earlier opening of the trout season, but
n rehearsal of the more important ones
will do no harm. At present every fish
ermun who ever goes out plans TO 60
MAY ! for the reason that the streams
under ordinary conditions offer the best
sport at that time. The result is the
taking of so many trout the first day
that the sport thereafter is greatly inn
paired. In Cheshire county, \. H.,
where the season opens month earlier,
the first days usually find the weather
so cold and the streams so high that
fishermen GO out more gradually and the
sport continues good for longer period
Then, too, many anglers become dis
couragea after one or two early season
trips and leave the fish to multiply.
Opening the season May 10 in this part
of the state would mean good fishing
for the poacher and nothing for the
law.abiding sportsman; it would make
enforcement Of the laws much more
difficult; it would decrease rather than
increase the number Of trout in our
streams.
The resolutions also ask that the open
deer season remain the same and that
hunters be allowed to kill either one
buck or one doe; that $40 license fee
be charged all nonresident hunters
during the open season on deer and
game birds, and that sawdust or other
substances injurious to fish be excluded
from all trout streams. All these re-
quests are reasonable and should be
given careful consideration by the game
and fisheries committee.

We are glad to give space to com
munieation from Congressman Haskins,
in which he says he did not appear at
the last special village meeting as coun-

in his capacity as citizen, voter and
taxpayer. Mr.. Haskins adds that he
never has appeared at any town or vii
lage meeting as counsel and is now too
old to begin. II every attorney in Brat

kins does in this matter, our town and

perhaps, that she has been for years ex,

Depends on Point of View.


We wonder if the Legislature of Yer
mont during the present session will
find time to legisate little bit for the
human family. During the past five or
six meetings of this body, covering n
dozen years or so, fish and game have
been protected until it is almost mis-
demeanor for the farmer S dog to bark
in the fall of the year. If halt is not
called somewhere, the rural landowner
will become a slave. by legislation, to
the fish and game of Vermont. There is
no doubt about the beauty Of deer
when he stands on a pinnacle against "A
cloudless horizon, and at such time he
deserves protection, but when he is eat
ing the tops off the beets or DESTROYING
an oat field the farmer is the one that
needs protection.

pharmacists is vital, and anything that

Those who attend sessions of the
United States court in Vermont dur
ing the coming few years will miss
the kindly and patriarchal, yet strong
and intellectual face which for many
years has looked down at lawyers and
laity from the bench. As has already
been intimated in these columns
Judge Hoyt H. Wheeler has announced
his desire to be placed on the retired
list and his resignation will take eff
feet upon the appointment and CON
firmation of his successor. No one
could watch the dispensation of jus
tice by Judge Wheeler without feeling
instinctively that here is mana
good man, as well as a strong jurist
He had the love and respect Of people
generally as well as of the bar They
knew that here was no disposition to
encourage a resort to the tricks of the
trade. but an earnest determination to
administer the broad principles of JUS
tice and to see that the right pre-
vailed.
Judge Wheeler has been an ornament
to the federal bench and a jurist of
whom any state would be proud. The
esteem in which his lofty character
and abilities as a judge are held else
where, is evident from the extent to
which he has been called upon to pre-
side over the sessions of the United
States court in New York city, and
his successor will deserve hearty con
graduation, whoever he may be, if he
is able to leave behind him as high a
reputation for lofty integrity, spotless
character, eminent capacity as a jurist
and loveable qualities as man, as are
today the priceless possession of the
Hon. Hoyt H. Wheeler.
