BIRD SHOOTING.

The open season on partridge and
woodcock, which came to an end Sat
urday, was considered by some hunt
ers the poorest in years. Others say
that it was poor only so far as part
ridge were concerned, the woodcock
shooting being fully up to the aver
age. This years season began Sept.
Is instead of Sept. ! as formerly, and
ended Dec. / instead of Jan. l.
Sportsmen in Windham county agree
that the legislature of 1906 was wise in
cutting a month from the end of the
season but many of them believe that
the results would have been still bet
ter had the season been brought to
close Nov. l and its opening allowed
to remain unchanged. The number of
birds killed during the first two weeks
in September used to be very small In
proportion to the number of hunters
who went into the woods, this ratio be-
ing due to the heavy foliage. During
November, ON the other hand, there are
no leaves to protect the birds and if
the weather is cold they are SO chilled
that killing them cannot be considered
sport. A hunter who believes in late
open season was heard recently to re-
cite the following illustration in sup
port of his attitude: Gin September
I find it hard to kill any birds because
of the difficulty in getting a shot at
them, but when the leaves are gone
just let me get into well-stocked
cover and 1 can NOW 'em right and
left.' This ground is taken by far too
many hunters. They are dissatisfied
unless they can get full bag every
time they 60 out, and never stop to
think what would be the result after
few years of opportunity to "mow
'em right and left. "

are bound to believe him, but coming

that he has repeatedly stated both IN

cially by those who are best acquainted
with him.

we could not sympathize with him in his

THE PRESIDENTS
ANNUAL MESSAGE
Is Long and Treats on Variety OF
Subiects-Trust Laws Should Be
Modified Congress Asked for
Elastic Currency.

The annual message of President Roose-
welt. which was read in congress Tues
dav, is one of the longest he has yet writ
ten and treats over 40 different subjects.
The president says that IN view OF our
great resources, industrial ability and
sound business conditions, the boarding
of money, which was the immediate cause
of the financial stringency, was FOOLISH.
He strongly urges early action to provide
an elastic emergency currency based on
effective guaranty and carrying heavy
tax to insure its retirement when demand
for it falls off. The war against sue.
cessful dishonesty" viii be continued
though every effort to minimize the DIS
tress caused to the innocent by the pun
ishment of the guilty will be taken. The
need of federal control OF railroads and
corporations doing an interstate business
is again stated. To accomplish this no
extension of federal power as necessary
but rather an extension of federal aetly-
ity. 1t is the opinion of the president
that the interstate commerce commission
should be authorized to pass on future
issue of railroad stock and to make physl-
cal examinations. The Sherman law
should be modified to permit honest COM
bination, as it is futile and unwlse to
seek to stop business or labor from con
centrating their efforts. He thinks a led
eral charter or license would be bene-
fit to well-managed railroads or bust
nesses. In regard to the tariff he stands
for the protective system but thinks
many of the schedules might well be
changed, though not in a presidential
year. Some kind of an income and IN
heritance tax that would meet the OBJ
jections of the supreme court are advo-
Gated. He draws attention to the pro-
gressive income tax laws of many OF the
states and foreign countries and evident
ly thinks that one can be framed that
will be constitutional. The president
saws that the law will be enforced against
rich and poor alike but points out the
difficulty in securing juries that will send
the big offenders to jail.
There is, he suggests, too much sem
timentality and technicality in our courts.
There is some warrant, he thinks, for
resentment against the indiscriminate use
of the injunction and he asks congress to
provide against future abuses. If the EN-

In accepting the place at the head of

In accepting the place at the head of
Company I Capt. E. J. Waterman has
grasped an opportunity to render valu-
able service to the Vermont National
guard and regain for Brattleboro the
prestige which comes to any town
through having an efficient military
company. That Captain Waterman is
well equipped for this difficult task is
shown by the unanimity of the demand
for his acceptance of the office to
which he was elected last Friday even
ing. The men of the company, many of
whom served under Captain Waterman
when he was formerly in command,
know his ability as an officer and
would not consider for a moment the
election of anyone else. From October
1901 to October 1903, when Captain
Waterman was at the head of Com
pany I, there was no better company
in the state, and it is not too much to
expect that the organization will again
reach that high plane.

A Standpatter After All.
Woodstock Spirit of the Age

Congressman Kittredge Haskins is a
"standpatter" after all, and it is learned,
from letter to his home papers, that he
has never been anything else during his
service in the house. He repudiates some
remarks attributed to him in a recent
interview, in which he is assumed to
speak for the people of Vermont, as to
their presidential preferences. He never
said anything against Taft or Hughes, or
ANYTHING as to their standard with Yer
mont voters; he doesn't know whom
Vermont would support, but Uncle Joe
Cannon of Illinois is his candidate for
the presidency. Cannon is "standpat-
ter, too, and there will be no change in
the existing order of things for the
present, if he has anything to do with
