Needless sIauohter Of Deer.

There is a wealth of sarcasm and eriti-
cism floating around the state as a result
Ct the wholesale slaughter of deer during
the open seasonal slaughter which in
volved nearly or quite seven thousand an
finals and which must perforce he charae-
terized as to a large degree needless and
inhuman. The sarcasm and criticism are
to be found in the newspapers and heard
In private conversation, and, Judging
from present indications, the doe-killing
privilege will be done away with when
the Legislature meets again.
II should be. The action Of the general
assembly last fall made possible the over
stepping OF the limits OF genuine sport
and indulgence, in far too many in
stances, in mere butcherY. There are
definite records to show how far this OPP
portunity for indiscriminate killing was
taken advantage OF, and numerous in
stances could be cited to prove the inhu-
manity which marks the trail OF the dis
cretionless hunter. 1t Is not too much to
say that many q fawn will perish this
fall and winter because OF the sacrifice Of
the doe upon which it depended for sus.
tenanee.

Everyone agrees that there is great
future in timberlands, under the infiu-
enoe Of reforestry, and there is general
faith in the business opportunity offered
for investment along these lines. At the
same time, there is not the strong move
ment that way that one would expect I'M
der such conditions. The reason is not
far to seek. It is not the uncertainty OF
the returns, but their remoteness, that
discourages heavy investment in seeding
properties and the growing of tree crops.
We are accustomed to quick returns for
our labor. The farmer plants in the
spring, harvests in the fall and realizes
his profits within few months. Unless
a man has abundance, or other assured
sources OF income, he cannot wait TWEEN
ty, thirty or forty years for trees to grow
and yield their increase. But in these
days many have such a surplus, and no
investment promises better returns in
ones old age, or as provision for ones
surviving family. And we expect to see
before many years the fertile American
mind turned to the task OF framing large
aggregations of capital to be invested in
under some system that will
give comfortable assurance to the inves-
tors of an annuity from the very begin
ming, with a prospect OF large ultimate
profits. The annuity idea would attract
millions OF capital that now goes to chan
nels that give quick returns. With ade-
quate capital at command, under expert
direction, vast areas of denuded lands,
now valueless, could and would be made
productive. BY scattering these areas,
The only danger Of loss from forest fires
would be minimized, and the industry
planted ON a safer foundation than any
existing that we know OF.

State Pensions Not Called For.

A subscriber to the Times wants the
paper to agitate the question OF state
pension for all surviving veterans Of the
Civil war. We believe that the time has
come when all veterans whether they can
prove disability or not should receive a
pension, reasonable in amount. and his
pension should be paid by the national
government. To ask the state to give an
additional pension, is another PROPOSE
tion. There are no doubt arguments in
favor OF such course and il the CORE
spondent will write them out we shall be
pleased to publish them. Vermont, how
ever, is heavily burdened already and it
will take pretty good argument to induce
any legislature to act favorably on any
measure providing for state pensions.

turned last week and has located this

trophy one year and this victory entities
him to its permanent ownership. It took
seven matches to secure it and one Of
them, with Billy Collins OF Oldham, last
ed over five hours. The matches were
pulled of in open air on a grass arena

smaller cup was won from Tom Ross OF

WOMAN suFfRAeE--lI.


! Again we have heard from Annette
this time by postal, calling our attention
to a lengthy communication in Satur-
days Free Press in which she absolutely
tears to shreds and tatters the elaborate
argument we built up in q recent editori-
al opposing the immediate granting of
suffrage to women. As we read on and
saw here a corner, there prop, OF the
structure totter and fall under the sledge
hammer blows Of our critic, We felt how
great mistake it really was to withhold
the ballot for one moment from sex that
could command even one such master
mind.
Seriously, the talk was the same old
brand served up for years by champions
Of woman suffrage, through press and
rostrum. It comedies that the majority
OF women do not want to have extended
to them the privileges and duties OF the
ballot but what of that II processes to
see no burden or obligation cast upon
this majority when the ballot is given to
the clamoring minority. It reseuts the
attitude OF the majority and wishes it ig-
nored in the matter. Our point-and beg
ging Aunettes pardon we do not see
that she has quite upset it's that
women as a class ought either to vote or
not to vote; ought either to have the
privilege or not have It, The first con-
sideration ought to be, are they worthy
OF being voters Intellectually, they are;
by training they are not. They cannot
get the training until admitted to the
franchise, and they ought not to have it
forced npon them and be compelled to
school themselves IN il when il is unwel-
come and distastetul to them. Condi-
tons do not demand il. Women have
their full rights before the law, and good
ness kncNs everyw here else, for that mat /
ter.
There is no parallel between placing
the responsibility Of suffrage upon all |
women, to be exercised BY those only
who feel like doing so, and giving the adj
vantage of college training to those who
care to pursue it. The latter is an indi-
vidual matter wholly. In practice the
former would not be. Give women the
right to vote and however unwelcome, or
however poorly prepared they we're to
cast the ballot, in the heat and strife Of
politics they would be dragged from their
homes and voted by those anxious to
win. We see enough OF this now.
There is no necessity OF adding to the
possibilities in that direction. II is this
that causes the opponents OF woman
suffrage, Of both sexes, TO postpone it IN
til conditions are changed and women
not some Of them, bat majority OF them
are ready and willing to incur the re-
suliant duties.
As Annette asks IL q majority OF the
negroes were consulted before the ballot
was placed 10 their hands, We are quite
ready 70 follow cut that line aud declare
aur belief that Il was che OF the'ssgrcat

The slaves Of the South were enfran-
ohissd; mistake that is being rectiaed

ing the sacraments are observed. y
According to reports Bishop HalIs spg-
gestion has met With much favor in botb
Episcopal and Congregational churches.
The obstacles 70 the proposed union
would begin to appear when an effort was
made to agree on details. Bishop Hail
may be willing to sacrifice the name
Episcopal and in so doing withdraw from
the great Episcopal communion. but ne
would not have numerous following In
Vermont. II Is possible that the name
could be retained and our congregational
nrethren stu agree to the union provided
other details were satisfactory.
II Bishop Hall really desires to set the
ball rolling, let him draw m nlan m
union and at the same time prepare for
getting into ecclesiastical hot water.
Church union is suggestive and prolific
theme for convention addresses. Real
trouble begins when progress beyond the
oratorical Stage is attempted.
Before discussing the proposition in de-
tail. i is safer 20 wait and see whst
Bishop Ban really did say. The news-
paper reports DO not sound just like what
one who knows the man would erpart
him TO say Bellows Falls Times.

csnnIns Factories In Vermont.


Canning factories are among the Yer
mont industries that receive consider
able attention ct this time OF the year and
a little earlier, as they close their seasons
work and make public what they have
been doing. There are a number of these
industries in Vermont at the present time
and they provide good and ready mar
ket for farm products of various kinds.
The advantages of near home market
are also very evident. 1t is an industry
that will probably stand considerable ex-
pansion in this state before reaching the
point Of any over-production of canned
goods, for which there is a constantly
great and growing demand. There is GER

pliments lately on account OF her good
work on her fathers paper, the Bradford

who can set type, write locals, read proof
or count money; Bess Newell of this
office, whose short locals are Herald fea-
ture, and perhaps a half dozen Others who
are doing good work on state papers.
The Office OF a country newspaper is an
excellent place for a young woman to
learn 70 write, offering opportunities that
compensate in some degree for the small
salary she gets. In this, however, she is
no different from her superiors, and, in
fact, small as the salaries are, they com
pare favorably with what young women
earn rs teachers, clerks, salesw omen or
even typewriters. Furthermore, there is
practically no competition ia the busi-
ness, as girls who possess the "newspaper
