The News thoroughly agrees with the
opinion expressed by that newspaper cor
respondent to the effect that baseball
games and band concerts on Sunday are
entirely praiseworthy and desirable
forms OF amusement, in comparison with
weekday poker games and questionable
dances, whether in the side show Of cir
cuses, or elsewhere. The News has every
desire to see the great mass OF the people
enjoy Sunday as a rest day. 1t appreci-
ates, at the same time, that a very large
proportion of the people would take more
solid rest and be kept in better frame OF
mind by attending a band concert or a
baseball game than they would by taking
a walk and lodging high powered auto
mobiles, driven possibly by city officials,
charged with the maintenance of public
safety and public morals, or swallowing
the dust they leave behind. After all,
very much depends upon the point Of
view OF the Observation-Disclosures be is in

The impression that the inhabitants OF
this region are obiecting to having a
black regiment stationed at Fort Ethan
Allen and that q request for q "Jini
Grow" car service between Burlington
and Essex Junction is likely to follow,
has no foundation in fact. An unfortun-
ate utterance by a Vermont newspaper
is responsible for the impression. This
utterance follow ed so closely upon the
Bennett Fl. Young episode that many pa
pers in all parts Of the country fastened
to jump at a conclusion that Vermont is
no more friendly towards the negro than
she appeared forgiving towards the leader
of the st. Adams raid.
So far as the behavior of the coIored
troopers now stationed at Fort Ethan
Allen is concerned, nothing has trans
pired since their arrival that indicates
that they are less desirable neighbors
than their white predecessors. The con-
ductors Of the electric cars are in a posi-
tion TO Judge Of the comparative desira-
bility Of the white and black soldiers and
they are unanimous in declaring in favor
Of the latter.
The black troopers reached Vermont
with three months pay in their pockets
and at no time have drunkenness or riot
ing been characteristics of their homeward
trips from Burlington and winooski, as

Crucial Question May Trouble Mead.

II the Republicans OF Vermont do their
duty next year, Mt. Mead will not get
the gubernatorial nomination because he
is now lieutenant governor, or because he
backed the state for a losn. or because be
is Granger or because he is a Grand
Army man, or because he possesses
wealth. or because be wants the place.
He is talked of more at this time as a
probable candidate than any other man,
for the apparent reason that be has been
lookin' round more than anyone else. 1t
is far call between now and next June
and the News has faith to believe that the
man who secures the nomination for the
governorship in the Republican conyen-
tion at that time will have to show BY
ability and general fitness that ne is enti-
tied to serve in the honorable position Of
chief executive OF Vermont. That's
where Mr.. Mead's actual troubles will
begin, il be really sspires to break into
the governorship. -Northheld News.

The state is responsible for damage
done to crops by deer, but not, it seems,
when, as happened in Waterbury the 9th
err day, a ball and heifer were killed by 8
buck. At least, this is the opinion Of the
game warden department. Man himself
must stand up and De punctured by a
deer's horn, or il he defends himself and
Stays the aggressor, run the risk of a S10C
fine. Is not this reasoning far-fetched :

Let Farmers Shoot the Deer.

"Give farmers the right to shoot deer
whenever they poach and there wouldn't
he any left in a few years." remarks the
Randolph Herald. We cannot agree with
this. 1t would have been far wiser for
the last legislature to give farmers the
right to kill deer caught doing damage
or their land than to pass the law it did
permitting the slaughter OF does. We
believe that the farmer has q right to pro-
tect his acres from the incursions of the
beasts Of the forests and that the legisla-
ture ought to recognize that right by
statutory permission. Bellows Falls

e. a. r. al SAT- Lake CITY.

Delegates from Vermont, New Hamp-
shire and Maine arrived at the 43d annu-
al encampment Of the q. A. r. at Salt
Lake City Aug. and department head
quarters were opened and tents for the
various delegates pitched. The city was
gaiIy decorated. On every side were dis
played pictures OF heroes of the Civil war
in settings of electric lights.
Wednesday was feature day, when
some 6, 900 veterans paraded. Midsum-
mer heat thinned the parade and wrought
suffering among the hundreds OF children
who participated in the formation OF the
living flag. At least 100 children and 20
veterans were taken from the street.
There were no fatalities. The 5000 veter-
ans, walking four abreast, aroused en-
thusiasm in the more than 100000 on
lockers. One of the notable companies
was that Of the Green Mountain boys Of
Vermont, who wore sprigs Of pine in
their hat hands.
Arkansas had only four veterans in
line, while Illinois had the largest num-
Der marching.
I At the rear came a little band whose
banners recalled the darkest pictures of
I the Civil war. On white banners we're
the words, Libby" "Andersonville, ("
% Macon" "Tyler," "Belle Isle," and the
names of other Confederate prisons. The
division consisted of the former prisoners
of war.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday nights there were campfres at
which several men OF national renown
spoke.
Under the vast dome OF the Mormon
tabernacle the @. A. r. and all the auxil-
iary organizations were welcomed to
Utah by Gov. William Spray and to Salt
Lake City by Mayor John s. Bransford.
Headed by the Lyndonville band, the
delegation from the Green Mountain state
attracted much attention and favorable
comment at the encampment. The veter-
ans, Isl of them, appeared we'll as affiu
ent and stauneh citizens of which any
state would be proud. Their green
badges, martial carriage and clean cut ap
pearance caused them to be singled Out
from the multitude OF veterans as they
thronged the streets.
In addition to its duties as official banC
for the Vermont department, the Lyndon
Vile band was the official band Of the ma
tioEal eBcampment. the official band o.
Salt Lake City during the encsmpmen
, and the official band of the Pennsylvania
department. Pennsylvania was third il
line in the parade and Vermont thir
tenth, hence it was planned that, afte
passing the reviewing stand in lead 0
the Pennsylvania veterans, the ban,
should double back on a side street an'
lead Vermont in review.

Possibly an Imaginary Grievances.

The Bennington Banner states that It
does not remember of ever having spoken
well of ex-Gov. z. Q. Smith OF st. Al
bans, and easily remembers OF having
spoken i'll of him on various and sundry
occasions, and admits that the reason was
an old grievance, when Mr.. Smith went
scout of his way to treat the writer very
stability" Editor Howe has evidently
forgiven the ex-governor, however, be-
cause he backs the st. Adams Messen-
ger, which, it says, is one Of the main
factors in the progress of Vermont. We
rather suspect that Editor Howe imagines
that be had been stability treated, for it is
difficult to conceive ex-Gov. Smith IN any
role than that of a thorough gentleman
and an exponent Of the square deal
