A Sportsmanlike Suggestion.
Sportsmen in the northern part of
the state are suggesting that the
small trout streams of the state, those
in which the fish seldom grow to legal
length. be closed permanently and
regularly stocked from year to year SO
that they will become valuable reed
ers to the larger streams ana ponds.
In the adoption of such plan as this.
we think lies the Improvement OF the
trout fishing in Vermont. scores OF
such streams are located IN each
county. They are large enough TO
make excellent rearing places Tor
Young trout, but seldom contain hsh |
of legal length unless it is during the
spawning season. And yet these
small streams are continually being
fshed by persons by whom the six inch
limit is held in contempt, and after
every such visitation the supply OF
legal fish for next season is material
! ly lessened. The idea of permanently
closing small streams is not new one
in the state. 1t has been agitated by
a few sportsmen for years, and IT 1t
could be made into law, its wisdom
would soon be CONGRATULATIONS

Quoting that part of The Monitors
editorial of two weeks ago IN which
we said the spending OF large sums
of money in pre-convention campaigns
was not the ideal political situation,
The st. Adams Messenger said:
".The Messenger has no disposition

= upon admitting, after the horse has
been stolen, that it is willing to loci
the stable door,
Let's see, it was in March o
April. 1910. we believe, when The
