A Deer's a Deer.
Londonderry Sifter.)

1t is amusing to say the least, to see
some people pose as, true. sportsmen be.
cause they do not favor the killing of
does; and their cry is, "No true sports
man would kill doe" Five out Of every
six of those true sportsmen" would shoot
buck if he could Now we believe bucks
are about as helpless as does when it
comes to trying to preserve their lives
against the vast horde of hunters and
their rifles. So, if it be the sign OF
true sportsman that he protects the help
less, then the true sportsman" is the
one that will STAY neither doe nor buck;
and we are glad to say there are many
sportsmen in this class.
What we like to see is honesty in this
discussion. If it be sought to regulate
the number of deer when one desires
bucks to be killed and does to be pro
tected, let it be so stated; If it be actually
desired to protect the helpless and beau.
tiful, then the killing of any deer should
be forbidden.
The "true sportsman" pose is somewhat
out of Joint.

Alas, IT'S True.
barre Times.)

The Brattleboro Reformer rebukes the
St. Johnsbury Caledonian in expressive
if inelegant language" for having put
forth the doubt If Brattleboro really has
smallpox, or some form of the itch The
Reformer only wishes that its contempt
rary might have been correctly informed,
but gloomily submits that the Caledonian
doesn't know what it is talking about. In
view of the fact that the editor of the
Brattleboro newspaper has been living in
the town which, experts say, IS infested
with real smallpox scourge, he ought to
know what he is talking about, and he
rather refutes the statement vouchsafed
by the Caledonian that eight out of every
ten people in Brattleboro do not believe
that it is the real thing in the smallpox
line. We are inclined to believe that the
Brattleboro contemporary wouldn't be
claiming such a disagreeable thing as a
smallpox scourge unless it thought for a
finality that the disease isn't the itch,
Cuban or any other kind. And to have
come to that fnality, it must have been
convinced by somewhat intimate knowl
edge of the disease In spite of efforts to
the contrary, the thing seems established
that Brattleboro is struggling with small
pox, and all effort to wrest the distinc-
ton from her must needs fail.

THE PLAYGROUND IDEA.

Massachusetts has Law requiring all
si,;es and towns having a population OF
NOR, than lO.co0 10 consider the question
AZ proyiding public Fairgrounds for the
nhvsoal education 81 the youth IN these
Municipalities. Recent municipal elections
in that state indicate an overwhelming
sentiment in favor Of the playground idea.
Advocate Of this progressive movement
claim that 'the boy without playground
il father 90 the man without Job, and
argue with good reason that the measure
il an insurance policy for future good cit
irenship. In a recent letter on this sub
;ect Ralph Dayol Of Taunton, who INTRO
duced the playground bill in the ieeisla'
tun, emphasizes six points in favor OF the
idea. lie believes that municipality
must recognize the right OF children 10
express their natural happiness under po'
lice protection. and points out that the
recreation field is precautionary and
protective measure 10 children in view oil
the increasing automobile menace. In his
opinion the creation of an interest IN
manly sports will result in a more manly
respect for law and decency, TO say moth |
ing of the benefcent effect il will have
with relation to the stamping out OF dis
ease among the young by encouraging sys.
tematic exercise and an appreciation OF
the value Of fresh air. Furthermore. chill
dren learn to know one another better IN
the field than in the classroom and thus
develop a knowledge Of human nature
which becomes valuable in future years.
Finally the concentration OF population
in cities and the increasing scarcity of
available breathing spaces emphasize the
need of immediate consideration.
Most Of these points apply to condi
lions in Brattleboro equally as well as to
hose in larger communities. At first
thought it might seem absurd to talk OF
he need of a public playground or re-
,reation field in rural place" like this,
ret where is there an accessible spot
which our boys and girls can use for this
,urposey The lack of suitable field of
his sort has Of late years been a serious !,
handicap to the success Of athletics in
he public schools, and as the number Of
,upils increases the need will be even t
more noticeable. II this town has any
dea of becoming the thriving and popu- t
GUS center all of us have dreamed about
he playground proposition is one that g
viii have to receive serious consideration G

THE PUBLIC SERVICE BILL.

BARRIERS public service commission bill
bids fair to be hoist by its own petard.
This is unfortunate, for the measure on
the whole is an extremely worthy one
and is in line with such legislation as has
been tried and found satisfactory by the
most progressive commonwealths One
feature of the Barber bill which seems to
arouse distrust is the clause which pro-
vides that the corporations themselves
shall pay for being regulated. This, we
confess, seems like carrying the thing a
triHe too far. Certainly if the regulation
il to prove as beneficial as we have good
reason to believe, the state itself ought to
be willing to stand the expense But the
thing which causes the greatest suspicion
among the rank and file of the legislators
is the silence of the big corporations
themselves, the apparent unconcem Of
the identical interests which it was sup
posed would put up the biggest kick. This
attitude has started the sleuths of wis
dom and virtue on a hunt for the pro-
verbal colored person in the kindling.
eff the public service corporations want
such BILL" they wag their heads and
say, "then we certainly don't want it.
We're agin the corporations as matter
Of principle" 1t hasn't occurred to these
wise and virtuous gentlemen, apparently,
that a law establishing public service
commission might prove beneficial alike
to the corporations and the people. What
if the law does contain provision max
ing it difficult for competing companies
to gain foothold! As long as the exist
ing companies render the service which
the commission can compel them to rem
der what is the use of competition? As |
one of the New York public service COM
mission wisely said in a recent address,
"the sooner we realize that public ser
vice corporations are monopolies the
sooner shall we be able to handle them
intelligently" Don't be frightened at
shadow, gentlemen of the legislature, per
haps the public service corporations of
Vermont have greater foresight than you
give them credit for. Perhaps, also, their
attorneys have craftily concluded the
quickest way to kill the bill is to appear
TO favor it.

Another Pledge Broken.
(St. Adams Messenger.)

To demand of the towns voting license
under the provisions of the local-option-
liquor law that they shall turn the license
fees into the state treasury simply means
the imposition of state tax for the priv
ilege Of voting eyes" The money is
raised in the town and sent out of it
never to come back again, in the usual
understanding of the phrase.
There is no imposition OF tax on the
town voting mo"
Thus is another blow struck at the
"local option" principle the republican
party is pledged in this legislature to
maintain. The option now presented to
a town is, "Vote for license if you want
to, but, if you do, we will fine you for it.
If you vote for no-license, you can have a
share of the money the license towns
pay"
Little by little the prohibitionists are
getting in their work in the modification
of this law. And the republican party
keeps right on promising to maintain
local option" and then letting its enc
mics work their own pleasure with it.
Pretty soon this platform pledge will be
a fraud, too.

In the discussion that has taken place
of late as to the ACCESSIBILITY of farmers
dairy companies various good reasons have
been advanced why such a course in the
end will prove improbable. 1t has been
pointed out that the sale of milk to these
dealers, even though it may result in
the long run losing game for the rea-
son that the producers are left with
nothing to feed the hogs" In the case
of cattle breeders the loss will be felt to
an even greater extent because of the
lack of any skim-milk with which to
raise calves. No breeder of pure-bred cat
tie can hope to get healthy and we'll

Newspapers Did Right,
(Athol Transcript.)

We must heartily commend the. work OF
the Brattleboro newspapers IN iearlessly
giving full publicity to all the facts con
corning the smallpox situation IN that
town. Some ill-advised efforts were made
to induce them to suppress the particu-
lars and print as little as possible in re-
gard to the progress Of the epidemic. A
policy of secrecy would have increased the
dangers of the situation, because the PEG.
pie would know little of the truth and
there would be groundless alarm and ex-
cited exaggeration on all sides. 1t is now
admitted that the local newspaper people
for with all the facts, serious as they
were, promptly and calmly made public,
the whole community knew just what to
expect and what precautions were neces-
sary. In the very midst of an alarm
that amounted almost to panic, the
newspapers kept perfectly
cool, and did just the right thing, at the
right time and in the right way.

No word of opposition can rightfully be
uttered to the bill providing for an in
crease in the salaries of the supreme and
superior court judges Of the state. It is
not question of dollars and cents. The
important consideration is to adorn our
judiciary with the best qualified and most
upright men that it is possible to secure
men in whom the people will have alb
solute confidence. As long as we can have
the supreme and superior court composed
of men of this type the question of com
pensation amounts to nothing.

A great stride toward the consumma-
ton of New England's hope for the White
Mountain forest reserve bill is believed
to have been made this week. President
Roosevelt illustrated his message to con-
gress with some graphic pictures of the
evils resulting from forest denudation,
and in an address before the conservation
commission now in session expressed him
self emphatically as to the absolute neces-
sity of the passage of the measure provid-
ing for forest reserves in the White
mountains and the Appalachians. 1t is
hardly believed that Speaker Cannon can
stand out much longer against the united
effort that is being made in behalf of this
vital piece of legislation.
