While the official returns Of the deer

this writing, it is probable that the esti-
mate Of 1000 killed il not far from

that more than half are does.
The News has no particular sympathy
with those well meaning friends who
look at the killing Of does from q
sentimental standpoint At the same

The action Of the last legislature In
letting the hunters loose on the doe un.
doubtedly came about largely from for

state said IN effect that farmer could
not protect his crops from the ravagas
Of supposedly Wild animal and gave
that animal 20 much protection that IL
became nearly domesticated, there was
bound 70 come a reaction.

II seems to The News that the next
legislature win do well to take up this
deer matter early and give Us a ssafe
and sane" law. Repeal this doe killing
clause and allow farmers, under strict
regulations and heavy penalties for ahus-
ing the privilege, to shoot deer found
actually damaging cultivated crops, as
is done in Massachusetts and some other
states.
In this way the farmers would have
satisfactory redress and the tendency
would be to drive the deer into the woods
and make them wild enough 80 that real

on those wild lands, and it Is a fair
gamble that half Of those farms will
prove valueless without irrigation
The day has long since passed when
the West can offer better inducements to
those who wish to engage in farming
than Vermont
Go back the same distance from a
railroad IN Vermont that the government
lands are, now open for settlement, iii
the great West. and good farms with
fair bindings thereon can be had in this
state, on easy terms, for less money
per acres than it viii cost to break the
sod on wild government land in the
West
There are fortunes awaiting young
men, who are not afraid TO work, on tie
back farms Of Vermont
II is not big money, but it ID sure
money.
II is no gamble. You will not get
rich IN five years, but you can make a
good living and lay ZIP a little every
year. In the West, you may make big
money this year and lose it all in the
next owing to climatic conditions.

certain that Fleetwood's strength, al
against John A. Mead only, will gain ma
terially as the canvass comes nearer to
the date when choice must be made BY
the Republican state convention. Ii some
other man should come into the field,
such a candidate would probably hurt
Fleetwood more than Mead.

Limit Mass Plays.

Last weeks list Of serious and fatal
injuries, due to football, is Impressive
enough to call for immediate action.
Nearly all conservative writers charge
the formidable increase In injuries this
season TO reversion to old fashioned
mass plays, where FIVE or Six men are
driven through the opposing line for a
succession Of gains, wearing down their
opponents yard BY yard and winning
ground by brute strength rather than
finely developed skill.
II has been freely alleged that no
welLtrained player on The big elevens
has ever been killed BY such tactics. an
argument that falls to the ground 1T
once in the light Of the grim record Of
the past week. The fact is that no
players except men Of phenomenal
strength and endurance can stand the
frightful hatteriBg which this styte Of
play entails. A time comes when OK.
haustion prevails and desperate chances
are taken, with the result OF almost in.
variable injury.
The solution must be sought IN The
limitation or abolition Of the mass play.

stead Of FIVE yards, with the allowing

NEWSPAPERS SCORE OVER BILL
BOARDS.

The newspapers have scored another
success over the billboards in the decision
Of the United States government to use
the columns Of the press to advertise for
army and navy recruits. For years the
government has followed the practice Of
seeking men simply by means Of posted
notices in cclors, hoping that the attract
lvenesa Of the posters would bring them
the required number Of applicants. Now,
The purchase of billboard space is to be
lone away with entirely, and the want"
columns of the newspapers are to be
used, with the additional posting Of
notices In post Offices and recruiting sta
tions. just what the results will prove
to be il as yet probIematical; but it
would seem that more satisfactory re-
turns can be secured through the news
paper advertising than through the bill
board posters, because the advertise
ments in the newspapers viii reach a
far wider circle Of people. As a general
thing, too, they will reach a class Of
people who will stand better in the REL
quirements Of army and navy life. The
applicants viii very likely be newspaper
