Open Season Necessary

The open season on buck deer is
closed but the open season for the hys-
terical essays need not be considered
closed by any manner of means. In
fact, there is season right at hand,
the open season on turkeys, that offers
every bit as good an OPPORTUNITY for
"gush" as does the open season on
deer. In the annual slaughter OF the
inoffensive Vermont turkey the elem
ent of sport does not enter In, neither
does the law restrict when, where or
how these barnyard pets may be kill
ed. Even the bulls-eye lantern may be
used, and is used to blind the eyes OF
the poor, trusting, corn-fed victims
when the monster in human form
sneaks into their bedroom, yanks them
out OF bed, and murders them with the
axe. And after the turkeys there will
be an open season for something else.
In fact, everything that wears wings,
except the song birds and the angels,
has to fly high during the open sea-
son, and why not the buck. There
comes time when every fish that's
good to eat and every animal that's fit
for meat may become subject to the
open season, and why not the deer?
They belong to the state and we are
the state. The state should be dis
Greet in its killing, that is, prevent the
killing to be carried to an excess that
shall permanently lessen the number
of the dear" race, and II should also
split the season wide enough so that
the race shall not become so numer-
Gus as to over-run the human race.
The buck on the pinnacle, standing
just above the horizon and with glor
ious golden sunset behind him. con-
templates one of the prettiest pictures
the human eye can dwell upon. and at
such a time deserves protection, but
when he is prowling about nights,
sneaking the farmers cabbage, it's the
farmer that needs protection. With
out an open season the deer, in ten
years, would over-run the OUTLYING
farmer and would become an unquali-
fed nuisance. Familiarity breeds con
tempt and If you would keep, them
from contempt and therefore from ex-
termination, keep them just a little
shy Therefore, for the preservation
OF deer to the state, an open season
is required and during the open sea-
son 1t is no more inhuman to kill
deer than 1t is to kill a calf during
the open season on weak To consider
the humanitarian side of 1t is only to
remind the reader that there is an
open season on duck and hardly sea-
son goes by that some duck hunter is
not shot or drowned In taking advan.
tage of 1t, but that Is hardly Sufficient
reason why the rest of us MORALS
should be ruled off the water.-Bran-
don Union.

That weird tale which emanated
from Boston recently and gave the
outline of proposed trust that was
to absorb the maple sugar industry
of Vermont must have furnished con.
siderable amusement for the residents
of this state who are at all familiar
with the process of manufacturing our
star product To imagine Vermont
maple sugar maker hauling the many
gallons of sap gathered from a thous-
and trees to a reducing station over
the roads that are beginning to dis
gorge about four feet of frost would
be difficult to say the least. At the
same time 1t is little strange in these
days of trusts and consultations that
some captain of finance has not
grasped the opportunities presented
by the maple sugar industry. The
supply is limited and is bound to de-
crease instead of expand In the years
to come. A corporation tat could
corner" the output Of Vermont's
maple orchards and put up the product
in uniform package backed by a
guarantee OF absolute purity would
perhaps not be able to pay IL per
cent on $63,0OO,00O of water stock
like the sugar trust, but 1t would stand
chance of seeing its securities quot
ed at par on the exchange.

ADIRONDACK RESERVE INTACT
Automobile Clubs Fail to Secure Roads
THROUGH Forests,

Albany, Nov. 19.-The application of
Timothy l.. Woodruff for writ OF
mandamus to compel James s. Whip
pie, state forest, fish and game COM
missioner. TO lay out road In the
Adirondacks through state land to con
meet property owned by Mr.. Woodruff,
has been denied by Justice Fits The
decision was awaited with interest
by several automobile associations
which intended to make application
for other roads II the determination
was favorable to the petitioner.
The application asked for the set
ting aside Of land for a road on what
Is known as the Nivins tract. The
highway would connect with Kamp
Killkare, Mr.. Woodruffs mountain
lodge In Hamilton county, and would
pass through wooded land owned by
the state. The application was made
originally to Mr.. Whipple on the
ground that under an old law the state
was to set asideNfive acres in every
100 for highway purposes. Mr. Whip
pie denied the application, and an APP
peal was taken to the Supreme court.
Ellis j. Stanley of the legal bureau Of
the forest, fish and game department,
and who has been elected member Of
Assembly, took charge OF the case for
Mr.. Whipple, and made the argument
against Julius NJ. Mayer, former attor-
ney general, who appeared for Mr..
Woodruff Mr. Stanley took the ground
that the reservation referred to was an
easement and was not In effect when
the state bought the property back.
He also took the position that the res
ervation clause was taken from the
laws of England, which provided that
In the grants of England a certain
portion OF the land should be reserved
for the crowns purposes, and that
while in the early days Of the country
such provision might have been neces-
sary 1t has never been invoked.
The automobile association applied
to State Engineer Skene for road,
way through the Adirondacks and the
state engineer asked the attorney
general for an opinion. Mr.. Jackson
held that the state could not take any
OF the state land in the Adirondacks
for highway or any other purposes.
II the application decided yesterday
had been successful 1t is probable
that the automobile clubs would have
taken a similar course In getting the
desired road.

PUBLICITY TEMPTATIONS
"Schemes" are Being Turned Down by
Thoughtful Merchants.

The merchant is lied up into noun
tains of temptation" very often In the
course of planning his advertising.
He Is assailed almost every day, by
the various floating schemes for So
called advertising-by the gentry who
work town after town and city after
city with advertising schemes of var
ious kinds. Now and then one OF
these is somewhat novel. and-losing
sight of the other fact that II is other
wise quite worthless-the merchant
throws away little Of his advertis-
ing appropriation. He could be just
as effectively original II he changed
the dollars he invests In such schemes
into pennies and amused himself by
scattering them from housetops. He
would attract attention" by such a
proceeding--bu he would not appeal
to his fellow citizens as q good adver-
tiser.
The scheme proof merchant Is one
who has learned to concentrate his
fire upon the target. He has learned
that the best advertising is that afford.
ed him by the best newspaper in his
city; that he helps this best newspa-
per to grow still better, still more cred
liable to the city, by liberal adver.
Using patronage. And he knows that
every dollar of his advertising appro-
priation foolishly spent has to be with
held from his real advertising cam
paign.
OF course every merchant knows
that not all newspapers are worth
while advertising mediums-but the
poorest newspaper is immeasurably
better than the best Of the vagrant
schemes" that come along.

concerning the efficiency and strength Of the
Triple Alliance. and that 1t especially ar
gued that reciprocal relations between Austria

danger threatening tho two powers was a con-
fiict between themselves
