"sPoRT"-GoD SAVE THE MARK


The brutality and inhumanity which
marked the trail of some of the hunters
during the recent open season gets pita-
BILE emphasis in the story told by a
stranger who had occasion to journey
from Bridgewater to Ludlow on Mon
day of this week. At one point in the
road, as he drove along, deer came out
of the woods; one half of its jaw had
been shot away, and the animal had lin
gered in this condition for a week OF
more, after the sportsman" fired at it.
The local game warden was found and
notified, and mercifully put the deer out
of its misery.
This is but one of many instances
which should combine to influence the
next legislature to act definitely in the
direction of different situation as to
sport" during the open season. -Lud-

The death of the Hon. Bradley B.
Smalley removes a man who was prom
inently identified with varied business
interests of his city and state, but who
was more generally known as the most
conspicuous Vermont democrat and
whose practical leadership of the mi
nority party of the state covered a long
period of years. Not only that but his
ability, sound sense and personal worth
were thoroughly recognized by the ma
tional leaders of his party. The old
Vermont Democracy passes with the
death of Col. Smalley, who during a
long and useful life enjoyed the CON
fidence of the prominent men of his own
party and the respect and esteem of
political opponents. - Enosburg Stan

DIR. THOMAS TEN COMMANDMENTS.

The latest maker of a new deca-
logue is President John NJ Thomas of
Middlebury College. His is for stu
dents. 1t is not bad scheme of NOR
ais, but it is noticeably longer than that
recorded in the Hebrew Scriptures, and
it is unfortunate that it should try to
improve on the new commandment of
the New Testament 10y this: Thou
shalt love thy friends more than thy
self, etc. Still it should be remember
ed that these new commandments are
avowedly made to indicate the spirit
that Doctor Thomas wishes to see pre-
vail in an institution of learning. But,
after all, is it not just as well to leave
the Ten Commandments as they stand
and give new rules in a form that does
not suggest competition" Hartford,

made an entry in competition with the
Ten Commandments will be new to

G. D. Thorne was found asleep at
the SWITCH and drunk in the gate
tower at the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad crossing on South Third aven-
ue crossing Wednesday afternoon. and
as a result the vacation OF o. P. Hayes,
the regular flagman, was cut short.
Hayes had hired Thorne to take his
place as tiagnan while he took a lay
off and went to Arion to visit daugh-
ter. Thorne had been on duty a few
days and Officer Frank Haas noticed
Wednesday afternoon that trains were
passing to and fro without the crossing
gates being lowered. He accordingly
went up into the tower to investigate,
found Thorne SO much under the in
fluence of liquor that he was unfit for
duty and placed him under arrest
Thorne was taken to the Third avenue
station, and was arraigned in the
MAYORS court this morning on q charge
of intoxication and sent to Jail for three
days.
Meanwhile Hayes, the regular flag
man. is again on duty and it isn't like
ly that the railroad company will have
any further use for his substitute.

It was the suggestion of the Mar

started the saloon remonstrance, and
turned over the petitions to the league,
to secure the services of the anti-sa-
loon league to assist in the work. The
members of the Civic League however,
thought better work could be done by
the league alone, altho it was the
sentiment of the members that if the

ahead and secure the anti-saloon
league forces the members Of the Civic

their support, altho not as an organiza-

the work Of the remonstrance and Sc

the members that it would be far better
for everyone concerned to have the
remonstrance carry than to take
chances on prolonged litigation result
ing from saloon prosecutions, and the
costs piling up on the taxpayers at
every attempt to effect a closing.
