Work for Senators

The state will miss Senator Red
field Proctor and Congressman NJ. w.
Circuit during the coming season of
congress more than ever before. The
oleo combine is seeking to reduce the
tax of ten cents pound on all of the
stuff colored in imitation Of butter.
The trust would be pleased with a
tax of only two cents a pound. Sena-
tor Proctor was succeeded as chair
man of the agricultural committee by
a man who is not unfriendly to the
idea, we are informed Speaker Can
non, a product of the beef trust state
is not averse to helping his great
state interests. it is said The two
departed sons of Vermont have been
succeeded by men of great ability but
not yet so all powerful in congress.
The farmers of Vermont should pre-
pare for the coming conflict and back
up the Vermont delegation in no un-
certain way in its opposition to the
new move of the beef trust, which is
the real beneficiary of the oleo bust
ness.-Morrisville Messenger,
The Herald is unable to understand
why the contemporary thus even in
advertently, reflects on the ability of
Senators Dillingham; and Page to care
for the interests of Vermont probab-
ly imperilled by this proposition to
"let up" on the oleo tax. It is per
haps true that Senator Proctor and
Congressman Grout served their state
well in this regard, but surely the
Messenger does not undertake to say
that Messrs. Page and Dillingham; will
be unable to conserve what their pre-
decessors accomplished
Possibly the Morrisville brethren
have a smarting memory of the news
print schedule. in which the senators
from Vermont joined with the major
ity in reducing the House rats, deter
mined on after a searching investi-
cation by the Mann committee. If so
the Messenger must remember that
it has become rather the fashion now
for senators to ignore the will of their
editors and publishers
particularly.
It occurs to the Herald that the SEN
ators from Vermont to be thoroughly
might now very properly
ignore the manifest wishes of the
and give them such lesson
in higher craftsmanship" as the
publishers were recently
treated to. Let them understand that
a senator is too much. engrossed in
making good" with his colleagues to
bother with q trifling, minor matter

70 ROOMS IN PUEBLO CLIFF
Prehistoric Ruin Built of Adobe Brick
Found in Arizona.

Washington, Dec. S.-William l..
Douglas examiner of surveys of the
general land office has just reported
to that office the discovery of an inn
portant prehistoric Pueblo cliff ruin
near the head of Indian creek, not far
from the southwest corner of the Ma
vaio Indian reservation in Arizona.
This ruin contains 20 rooms and is
constructed almost entirely of adobe
brick, s by by inches in size,
made OF clay mixed with grass, and
laid in single courses.
A number of the rooms are two
story, and some appear originally to
have been three stories high Many
of these rooms are in a perfect state
of preservation. One was covered
with three coats of adobe plaster.
Here was discovered an inscription,
presumed to be Spanish which, so
far as it could be deciphered was.
"Ghos; Anau ID; 1861"
The first line of the inscription was
incomplete and the second line not
distinct beyond the letters given, but
probably the words are ammo
Domni."

The ChampIain Memorial

The failure of joint Champlain
memorial project is an event greatly
to be regretted and one that cannot
be laid at the door of the Vermont
commission. The cordial co-opera-
ton of the New York Commission in
other matters, and their generous
treatment of Vermont interests in ev-
cry respect save that of the memorial
makes their attitude in this respect
greatly to be deplored, because it
mars the harmony that has existed
hitherto OF course New York is en-
tirely within her rights in insisting
that the memorial shall be erected
on her own soil, if she desires to do
so, as her own fund is much larger
than that which Vermont can contrib
ute and the majority of the important
historical events occurred on the
western shore of Lake Champlain.
Nevertheless Vermont had the right
to expect having initiated the idea
of the Precautionary celebration and
of the Champlain memorial, that a for
NAL invitation should be issued to join
in the erection of such monument be-
fore the incident was finally closed.
This was not done the Vermont inter
ests being ignored in the eager haste
of bare majority of the New York
delegation to secure the prize for
Pittsburgh.
It is hardly necessary TO assert that
relations between states, although
one may be large and the other small
should be marked by mutual courtesy
New York might have secured every
thing that she will secure in the end
if the proprieties had been observed
and the insult to a sister state had
been omitted Indeed, she might
have secured more for she would
have held a far greater measure of
the cordial good will of her neighbours
on this side of the lake If this UNI
pleasant and unnecessary incident
had been avoided
The thing for Vermont to do now
is to make the best possible use of
the funds at her disposal. If this
fund can be supplemented by gifts
from generous Vermonters, by so
much can the memorial be made bet
ter. There is much to commend the
idea of a national park on Juniper
Island, n few miles out from Buring-
ton, if Government cooperation can
be secured. A memorial erected on
this island would make it a pleasant
and popular resort, a place of pilgri-
mage for patriotic individuals and
societies, and would preserve for the
people an island which could not be
purchased by any wealthy person or
club. OF course there are other ex-
cellent sites which will be given pro-
per consideration before the final
choice is made. Montpelier Journal.

MASSACHUSETTS, Auto Law

new automobile law will go in eff
feet in Massachusetts the beginning
of next year. This law is said to be
more carefully drawn than that of any
other state, and the following sum
mary of its provisions may be of in
terest as well as profit to automobil-
lists in Vermont. All machines are to
be under control of state commits
sion to which the police report The
fees are 81 for each operators or
chauffeur's license, 50 for registering
a motor cycle and So to S25 for auto
mobiles according to horsepower
These fees do not take the place of
ordinary taxation, and their revenue
is applied to road-making. Non-resi-
dent automobilists have ten days of
courtesy privilege summer people
get special rates. The question of
speed is settled by requiring automo-
biles to be driven carefully at all
times; but a rate of more than 20
miles or above Is in towns or above
eight at curves is Iprima-facie evil
dence of unreasonable speed. Num-
Der plates are furnished by the COM
mission and must be illuminated at
night Automobiles of more than 10
horsepower must have two brakes,
each sufficient. When left standing
all automobiles must be locked or
have their brakes set, so that med
dlers cannot start them. No one UNI
der eighteen may be licensed to run
a motor vehicle The papers must be
carried by the chauffeur or operator
at all times. They bear his signature
which police officers may require him
to write. He must stop his motor for
frightened horses or for persons
alighting from street cars. Three
convictions revoke a license, but the
commission may suspend or revoke
licenses at discretion. To race on the
highway or TO run an automobile reck-
lessly, or to attempt to escape after
injuring a person means a maximum
fine of 5000 and six months in jail. A
man who is twice caught running an
automobile while under the influence
of liquor may be sent to Jail for not
less than one year nor more than two
even If no accident comes of his in

The Evening Banner begins its sew
enth year today. The Banner has
much the most limited field Of
any daily newspaper in Yer
mont, owing to the mountain
towns to the east being so sparse
ly populated and the fact that we are
cut off on the south and west by state
lines. For this reason the Banner can
never be as big and important paper
as some of its contemporaries. but its
continued aim will be to give Ben

THE DEER LAW


of deer killed during the open season
of 1909 as given by State Fish and
Game Commissioner Thomas is 4736,
the number of does shot being 1861
Ii is probable that the number of deer
shot which were not reported would
bring the total considerably above the
5000 mark. 1t would not take many
years to exterminate the deer at this
rate.-Montpelier Journal.
Gentlemen who are in the best pos
ition to be well informed on the sub
ject of the number of deer in the
state, including Commissioner Thorn
as, President Maxwell Eyarts of the
fish and game league, County Warden
Harry Chase of this county and NJ ].
Hapgood of Peru, majority of whom
are opposed to doe killing, have pub
licly estimated the number of deer in
the state at from 10000 to $4,000 and
the annual increase at from 5000 to
$4,000. From this it can be easily Ing
ured almost to the minute how long
it will take to exterminate them with
slaughter of 5000 per year.
The Journal further says:
If the law were amended so that
farmers were permitted to kill deer
which were seriously harming their
crops, the damage having been estab-
lished before competent Witnesses it
ought to relieve the situation of which
complaint is made and permit the re-
peal of the doe law The experiment
is worth trying, although vigilance
would be necessary to prevent its
abuse.
Massachusetts has precisely this
kind of a law and report says that it
is not working out exactly as its
friends hoped 1t is even said that it
has already resulted in the practical
determination of deer in that state
except near the borders where there
is a replenishment of the supply from
neighbor states This may be mere
hearsay. guessYork, or malciously
false report We do not know 1t is
too early to say with definiteness any
way, but between now and next Oc-
tober the question ought to be fairly
settled in Massachusetts and Vermont
can have the benefit of her expert
ence Then too. another summer will
show whether the present law in this
state has lessened the deer damage.
The editor of the Journal is a gen
tleman and a scholar but we suspect
that he has studied the deer question
largely from his office chair mas
much as the law cannot possibly be
changed until next October, will it not
be we'll to wait and watch results in
Vermont and Massachusetts before
getting too strongly committed to any
one theory?
When the doe bill became law
last winter it was declared without
qualification by several leading state
papers including such prominent and
influential publications as the Mont
pelier Journal, Rutland Herald, Barre
Times, Hardwlck Gazette and others
that one season under this law would
absolutely exterminate the deer in
Vermont, The season has come and
gone and their fears are proved UNI
founded. 1t may be that none of us
know it all on this subject and for
that reason the Banner urges its
brethren not to be too cock-sure We
may all be able to speak more intel
ligently later on.

;Blaneyoffers his latest dramatic sue
cess, entitled Tennessee Tess" or
The Queen of the Moonshiners. "
That bright little star, Lottie VIII.
liams, will be a special feature, and
Will appear in the title role. "Tess,"
havin gbeen deseterd by her parents
IN infancy, has been brought up by
an old "moonshiner" whose ostensible
occupation is chacoal burning. She
knows al about Mountain Dew" and
the penalty attached to its manufac-
ture. Her lover is suspected of CON-
pllc1ty in robbinge the local bank,
whose cashier has been killed. His
flight makes matters worse and
Tess" is called upon. to defend him
and clear him of the charge. The
question of her parentage must also
be solved. There is villain in the
play, ase a matter of course, who
knows al about a certain property
called Barren Mountain" supposed to
be worthless, but is in reality an
iron mine of immense value. This
mine belongs to the fugitive lover;
but the deeds to the property must
be wrested from the villain who has
stolen them. These are but a few
threads to a story of absorbing in
terest which is unfolded during the
action of the play. The scenery is
elaborate and picturesque.
