For Census Enumerator

Among the applicants for appoint
ment as supervisor OF the next census
enumeration in Vermont, Lynn NJ.
Hays of Essex Junction possesses
qualifications second to none. The
appointment OF census supervisors in
the various states will be made by
President Taft subject TIC the approval
of the Senate under new law, and
Washington gossip has it that the APP
pointents will be made with refer
ence to fitness rather than as a matter
of political reward or influence. Mr..
Hays close connection with the Cham
plain Precautionary and his efficient
service in the most eXacting office of
that enterprise should commend his
appointment to the President regard
less OF the political service that he has
rendered equally well. Besides his
personal qualifications, in his Burling-
ton Office Mr. Hays has complete equip
ment and competent clerical force to
carry out the work promptly and et-
fectively. This paper not only hopes
to see his appointment but urges it as
one logical and acceptable from every

c. V. RAILROAD SUMMONED.
Charged with Violating Safety
Appliance Law.

The Central Vermont railroad has been
summoned to appear before the Federal
court in Rutland, October 5, to answer
to the charge of violating the law in
reference to the safety appliances on
trains. These are tep counts against the
road The citation was. served by Deputy
Marshall Reeves on ". ii. Chaffee, clerk
of the road at st. Adams.
This action grows out OF the recent
inspection made of the Central Vermont
by the interstate commerce commission
inspection. The inspector enters yard,
examines the cars and if one is found to
have been moved in train while there
is any defective safety appliance about
it, it is used as the ground for bringing
action. The entire line was inspected
and but ten defective cars were found.
The officials of the road have exer-
cised the greatest of care in regard to
avoiding the use of defective cars, but
some time ago it was found necessary to
issue an order making the trainmen who
handle such car responsible.

REQUIRES NO LICENSE
New Angling Law Will Not Cause
Women or Boys Under Is
Any Annoyance.

The problem as to whether or no
the new state law requires boys under
10 years Of age or women, to secure
anglers licenses before they will be
permitted to fish will be solved by
County Clerk E. Nj. Smith in a way
quite favorable to the parties under
discussion.
Basing his Interpretation OF the law
on letter received from r. 0. Steven
SOD, the state game warden, he will
not issue licenses to women or to boys
under Is years of age. The text OF Mr..
Stevenson's letter to Mr.. Smith con-
cerning the matter is as follows:
I'm reply to yours of the 18th, will
say that this department has decided
that it will take no action against
women or boys under the age of Is
years. While the law technically re-
quires them to have license it does
not provide for the payment of the
same, and | believe that it was not the
Intention of the makers of the law that
hey should be required to have a
icense. For these reasons and others
his department has decided not to
equire license from women or boys
