Newspapers and Crime.

The Rutland police did brilliant
thing in being so secretive about two
burglaries in this city on October that
they withheld information from the pub
lie. As has been proven times without
number, the poorest way in the world to
apprehend INSIDERS Is for officers of the
law and those directly concerned to keep
the facts in such cases under their own
hats. Nothing beats newspaper public
ity in the furnishing of useful clues to

wANTEp-A HEAVY RAINFALL.

If the weather were to be just about
as we puny humans would desire, there
would come a heavy and continuous rain
fall before next Monday, when the deer
hunting season in Vermont begins. 9th
erwise, there viii be great possibility of
the loss of timber through the careless
ness Of hunters who light fires and then
leave them to be the sport of the winds
until they envelop and encircle whole
forests Nothing but q real, soaking
rain will remove the dangers from this
source. Consequently anxious eyes are
being turned for signs of rainfall. In
case the rain does not come before the
opening of the deer season, word Of
caution should be given to every hunter.
The Rutland Herald contributes
timely protest against the proposed
slaughter of does in Vermont in the fol
lowing;
Seriously, it seems pity, now that
Vermont has BY severe pains succeeded
in establishing good herd Of deer, to
take any radical or permanent steps
that would tend to deplete its numbers.
The slaughter of does would add fea
lures Of brutality to the annual battue
that II happily lacks at present. When
We read such touching tributes to the
wounded buck as may at any moment be

the stricken doe might lie drawn, her
eyes glazed in death and the terrified
fawn dashing away into the forest moth.
