To keep the line busy, and jumpinabont
To skip from their knees to their arms.

Practically thirty thousand hunters
licenses have been issued in this state
already though the law has been in
force less than two months. This
means that about one in four of the
adult male inhabitants of Vermont
has taken out a license. About every
body who hunts also fishes and there
are a considerable number who fish
who do not hunt. This showing
GU ght to shut up the grumbling in
some quarters that the state legisla-
ture devotes too much time to fish
and game matters. The Banner has
always contended that this grumbling
was born Of ignorance and now we
have the facts to prove the conten-
ton. AS the Banner has repeatedly
stated heretofore, fish and game leg
islation interests more people than
legislation on any other subject ex-
cept taxation, yet it has been popular
for certain editorial writer's and
others who observe public affairs

Legislature every time it spends an

show them the error of their way.

SMASHED STEAM ROLLER
Big Machine Ruined in Collision With
Trolley Car.


North Adams, Oct 26.-Struck by
the 2.45 car for Bennington yester-
day afternoon as it was going down
the hill just below Aero park, the
city steam road roller suffered ruin
as its 20 tons of heavy iron ploughed
up the cobblestones between the
tracks and half turned over on its
side.
Engineer Royal Burrell who was
just bringing the roller over the
tracks after getting coal from the va
cant lot on the south of the track,
said that the front roller was on the
track when the car started down the
hill. When he saw that a collision
was inevitable, he jumped to the
ground at the further side of the rol.
Ter.
Motorman John Chase did not see
the roller in time to stop the car, and
the down grade and the slippery con
dition of the track made it particul-
arly hard to get a grip on the rails
with the brakes. The front of the car
was demolished by the shock which
half turned the roller over tipping
the front roller up at an angle of 30
degrees, breaking the fly wheel, and
driving the big, heavy hind roller
about two feet into the soft earth on
the left of the track. The blow-off
on the right of the engine was sever
ed and the escaping steam hid the
front Of the car from view for several
minutes.
The car was backed away in few
minutes and brought back to the

Chase was cut by the flying glass.

his sermon yesterday morning, de
nounced the Sunday newspaper as a
Dissertation of the Lords Day His
condemnation was based on the
ground that it is an invasion of the
religious principle which underles
the observance of the Sabbath, a
dreadful invasion of the Christian
home life on the Sabbath and invad-
es the sanctum sanctorum of consci-
ence.
While admitting that the Sunday
newspaper has come to stay, the
preacher appealed to all Christian
people to discourage it and keep it
out Of Christian homes, because it is
the small violation which leads to dis
regard of Gods law.

preacher, a brilliant man, who to-
day is going about a driveling idiot
simply because a small clot Of blood
rests on his brain. This cot is no
larger than the head of a pin, yet it
has killed that splendid intellect. So
it is in the spiritual life. The small
violation of the law of the Lord kills
the spiritual sense and drags man
down. therefore call upon the
Christian people, the members OF
Christ's church. to discountenance
this fragrant violation of the Lords

CHUNG SIN.

When public sentiment is aroused as
some particularly atrocious crime, the
demand for justice, not to say revenge,
becomes SO strong as to be almost ir-
resistible. Popular clamor asks for
life for life.
At such tines there is some danger
that calm reason will be set aside, as
has been done repeatedly in cases Of
aIynchirlg Suspected persons have been
8 killed in the popular fury, without sur
fcient evidence OF guilt, and some
times it has turned out that the wrong
man WAS Killed.
1t is the business OF courts to pre-
Vent such fatal mistakes. by applying
the SLOW but sure processes of law to
every case And the stronger the
popular excitement is. the more neces-
sary it is FOR the courts to proceed
With calm dellteration. lest. at any
( stage OF rre proceedings, a fatal mis-
take should be made.
The Sigel murder case is one to which
these reflections apply. 1t was an
atrocious crime. 1t aroused the people
Of this country from one end to an
other The demand for justice Is gem
eral IT would be regretted every
where, We're the murderer to escape.
1t is all the more necessary that pre-
judices be not allowed TO fasten the
guilt on anyone who may be innocent.
IL the efforts to capture the real Grim
NAL should prove futile.
Leon Ling is missing. He is sup
posed to be the murderer. He has not
been found, so far. And now the dis
patches indicate that suspicion is di-
rected against Chung Sin, who is in
the hands of the police. 1t is stated
that he is uneasy in his mind and that
he has lied during the preliminary hear
ing. etc. If Chung Sin is guilty of that

WHY NOT A CRAZY FouRrHp
Boston Courier:


F'irst-Horscs are frightened, causing
them to run away; accidents and loss of
life often happen.
Second-Houses, stores and buildings
are set on fire by the careless use of
fire crackers, causing great loss Of
property and life. The fire department
will prove this.
Third--Aged people and sick persons
IN hospitals and homes are tortured.
Many of them die from the noise.
Fourth--Women's clothing and
dresses are set ON fire in the streets by
bad boys throwing firecrackers. This
causes pain, suffering and often death.
Fifth-Scveral persons have been shot
in their own houses by men firing their
rifles out of windows. Those rifles car
ry mile. and the bullets in descend
ing crash through a window killing
some persons. Last year three persons
were killed In this manner.
SiXth--It is not q proper way to cele-
brate the Fourth Of July. 1t is low,
vulgar, brutal.
Seventh--Seyeral hundred persons are
killed each year. This is the principal
reason why our present manner of cele-
brating the Fourth of July should be
changed
