stetson's Uncle Toms Cabin Matinee
and Night, Feb. 10.
Whenever you think of it, ask your
oldest relative to name the first play
he or she ever attended 1t is safe to
wager the answer will be, Stetson's
Uncle Toms Cabin" a play that has
survived all others and today gives
every promise OF lasting through all
time to come. Hundreds of new pro-
auctions are offered during each sue
ceeding theatrical season at an aSSre-
gate expense of thousands of dollars.
The majority of these prove rank fall
ures, some survive for year or two,
while a limited few are successes. The
latter endure for a few years, with
gradually diminishing power to attract
the public Then comes the time when
thew are withdrawn from the stage,
for to continue them would mean
losing venture. There is yet to be
written a play that will attain one half
the years of Stetson's Uncle Toms
Cabin This season, several entirely
new features are promised, including
the most gorgeous and beautiful
electrical scenic and mechanical
effects ever devised by man. Prices.

The Bennington Banner contin-
ues to defend the doe BILL" but
the Banner was on the right side
when it came to the dough" bill
Montpelier Argus.
The Banner is innocent of any in
territorial defence of either the doe"
bill or the dough bill but now that
the Argus has brought the matter up
the Banner will tell few facts in re-
gard to the doe bill that have not
been printed, as far as We are aware.
When the joint committee on Game
and Fisheries of the recent legisla-
ture got together at its very first
meeting it came to light that there
was going to be strong effort to
open up the deer season for a month
or six weeks aud to allow property
owners to kill without limit deer on
their own lands. The committee
thought that the demand was so
strong that there would be danger of
going to excess in the matter. In
order to try to hold the slaughter at
minimum the member from Ben
nington introduced House bill H.
the since notorious doe bill, and the
committee put the bill forward in an
effort to forestall the more radical
measures pending or proposed. The
committee also thought that the mat
ter might be tried out last fall in sea
son that the legislature then in SEES
sion could change the law If it proved
to be disastrous. The bill did pass
the House in ample season. but II
met unavoidable delay in the Senate
until it was too late to put it In force
last fall and it was held over until
after the open season so that it can
be in effect but one year before there
is a chance to repeal it. We still be-
lieve that in view of the rapid in
crease in number of deer and the
amount of damage that was being re-
ported, in connection with the number
of deer being killed Illegally and the
sentiment of the farmers in many
parts of the state, that the action was
the wisest that could have been taken,
and necessary in view of the situation
as it actually existed. These facts
were offered to some of the newspap-
er correspondents at the statehouse,
but they were so busy advising and
abusing the legislature that they
didn't have much room for facts.

Of visiting 4O5 families to investigate

Our friends would open their eyes If
they could have a closer acquaintance

NEW CHINESE PRESS LAWS
Offending Editor Treated to Severe
Foaalna.

China has some unique Press laws.
They went into effect last May and
gossip and misstatemeat is now
perilous thing. Not long ago an Of
Tending editor was severely logged
with bamboo rods and as a result
many native editors are exceedingly
cautious in their utterances. THE
publishers, printers and editors of
newspapers for general circulation
must be over twenty years old accord
ing to the existing press laws" says
the New York Sun. They must be
generally accepted as Of sound mind,
and none of them may continue his
calling if he has ever served a prison
sentence for any crime.
Each proprietor must deposit Sc
curity of his rectitude to the amount
of $75 before issuing his first sheet
unless he can prove that his publica-
lion is purely artistic, educational or
statistical.
Corrections of protests against
misstatements must be published in
the next issue" says this mandate,
In case the number of words used
in the letter of correction forwarded
to the editor is more than twice the
number of words used in the original
statement a fee of half the ordinary
advertisement rates may be charged.
Secret intelligence Of State, criti-
cism of the Throne or matter tend
ing to inflame the public peace of
mind or cast odium upon long ac
cepted popular custom if printed will
render the editors, publishers and
printers of the paper containing such
inhibited matter all subject to fine or
Imprisonment for not less than six
months nor more than two years.
Papers may be suspended upon a rep
