cnNFouNpING THE ISSUE.

Some OF those who are arguing against
the Office OF attorney general in Yer.
mont seem to be making the mistake of
confounding their dislike OF the present
elcumbent of the office with the merits
of the Office itself Which is, Of course,
entirely wrong in argument. Because
Mr.. Fits is persona non grata to some
persons and newspapers, it does not fol-
low that the office which he occupies
should be abolished; for we must re-
member that the Office of attorney gem
eral is not perpetually held, and, in fact,
the reigning party of the state has al
ready gone to the extent OF picking q
new man for the place since Attorney
General Fits has decided that he would
not accept the position again. Even
were MIR. Fits q candidate for reeIec-
ton it would not in itself constitute
sufficient argument why the Office should
be Topped OFF; but the disgruntled ones
in that event should set themselves to
the task Of turning Mr., Fits out. In
arguing the case they ought to divorce
their personal prejudice against the occu-
pant from their contemplation of the
office itself

SAVING THE ROBINS.

How anxiously people in the North
look for the return of our feathered
friends, the robins, the blue birds, the
ground-sparrows and all the other mi.
gratory animals! Their return is the
signal for .joyousness beyond measure;
life seems the more worth living when
they have come back to gladden. the
hearts with their song and presence. We
guard them carefully from destruction,
therefore, knowing their value to us, ii
for no other reason. But when tney
have gone out OF our jurisdiction to the
Southland, they suffer great losses
through the cruel inroads made by the
hunters. This we know from the act OF
the Louisiana legislature in removing
the robin from the category OF game
birds that may be shot at certain sea-
sons; and hereafter more of the robins
will return to us in the spring. 1t is
said that last season alone over mil
lion robins were shot for the market
in the Gulf states. The placing OF this
hunting on the prohibited list is good
work.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY MILK AT ALL.


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir Error dies hard. Progress is slow Past
experiences seem forgotten. I beg to refer to the
recent editorial the work of the Society for
Medical Research of England. The Tribune is
ready to hear the other side of the story of anti
vivisecton. Let what can be said about the
case mentioned in the editorial. of the mysterious
fever among some British soldiers. that bafied
the scientific men long time. II is stated that
the men used freely of goats milk. and large num-
bers of them became sick with fever 1t is also
stated that not until experiments We're made upon
animals did the authorities find that the cause Of
this fever due to the milk used by the sol
diers. This is not rare case of misunderstanding
due TO oversight Plain. common intelligence,
based the simplest observations. discerned six
hundred years B. c. that goats milk is not suit
able food for grown men. Every century since
that time the same observation has been made
time and again 1t seems that certain scientists
get extreme hobby. and will not see the
commonest daily experience in its true light. The
of milk from the lower animals for human
food is responsible for pretty large percentage of
sickness. and all the tinkerng. with icing. boiling
indicating. sterilizing, certifying. building marble
stalls for the herds. wearing OF white coats and
milking in fresh gloves. has not moved nature to
change her laws. The milk OF the goat was OBJ
served by Confucius long ago as six hundred
years B. c. TO be excellent for the kid. but not
wholesome for the species homo. This simple and
great man also observed that the milk of the COW
was good for the infant calf and not good for
man. There is no change in the economies OF nat
each thing in its appointed time ard place is
good; the moral is. the less sin against natural
law the better. The less milk the better for man
Infancy is the appointed time for the use of
milk; beyond that the OF milk Is known to
nearly every one to be unwholesome. Some per
sons cannot take SO little without poisoning
effects So let me barely call attention to the fact
that the so-colled eminent service OF the vivisec-
ton laboratory was two thousands OF years behind

Whether the institution will be able to transfer
