The Hunting Season.

The open season on most game begins
in September and prospects are said to
favor good season this year, though
the drought has destroyed many part
ridges in some sections of the State.
The first season to open is that for
wild duck and wild geese, which is from
September l TO January l. The limit
of bag in one day Is 20 birds.
September Is the season opens on
English snipe or plover, and hunters are
limited to five birds i'll one day, not
more than five ruffled grouse or part
ridges may be shot in one day, or more
than % birds in the season, which ends
November Is.
Rabbits or wild hares are also limited
to FIVE in day, but it is specially pro-
vided in the statute that the owner or
tenant of land may kill any rabbits or
hares found causing damage to crops at
any time. Grey squirrels may be shot
between September Is and December /.
All hunters must have a license, and
those who secured them last year should
not forget to renew them as the old ones
become void September /. 1t is illegal
at all times to use a snare for birds or
rabbits, or to kill .Edglish pheasant,
quail, upland plover, insectivorous or
song birds.

Where Angels Fear to Tread.

IL is just AS we'll TO know what to
expect Until the closing of the polls
next year the country will have the
tariff for breakfast, dinner and supper,
the present row about it being merely
an anti climax. Woodrow Wilson was
right when he said that back of all re-
form lies the means of getting It. The
anti-climax was precipitated 10y II
difference Of opinion as to the means.
Naturally, the Congress regards itself
as the ideal fundamentally. Ii prefers
not to remember that fools go where
angels fear to tread. Complacently it
undertook to solve the problems OF
Schedule X, the complications of which
are such as defy any but expert analysis.
To all other investigators it presents
task impossible of performance.
Still, the national Legislature believes
itself to be equipped for the work. The
President does not. ; The differences be-
tween the two-belief aud unbelief-has
caused the trouble. More of it will
come at the next session. la the in
terval the President will justify or try to
justify his vetoes. lie will submit:
That the industrial interest Of the
country have adjusted themselves to the
present schedule;
That any notifications not taking
this adjustment into account may aud
probably will be disastrous;
That where rates ale excessive, they
should be subject to revision based upon
familiarity with the facts, and
That it was aud will continue to bt
his duty as President to avert that which
is calculated TO induce disaster.
Nothing can be simpler than THU
statement of the case. II is not Ike Il
schedules themselves, bristling Will
technicalties and difficult of comprehen
sion, even by an expert. In effect, tn,
President has alleged that, not to pu
too fine point upon it, the Congress
did not know what it was doing. AS
matter of fact, it couldn't Certainly
it could not possibly know what woult
be the consequences of such revision a
it undertook to make. The Presiden
will look to the country for Endorsement
Whether he will get it or not remains t,
be seen.-Brooklyn Eagle.

To Senator Dillingham;, representing
in this instance the opinion of Vermont,
belongs the greater part of the credit for
one of the most necessary achievements
of the special session. Mr.. Dillingham;,
besides taking an active part in formu-
lating and advocating the passage of
the publicity act, reported from the
Senate committee on privileges and
elections the amendment which is said
to be the most important feature of the
measure, the extention of the purpose Of
reform to primary elections.
The Senator speaking ably on the
necessity of strong state laws to promote
legitimate conduct in the business of
election says: eff each individual State
will exercise its undoubted right and
adopt legislation of this character, we
can perfect national act applying to
candidates for election to either branch
of Congress which will fully recognize
such state laws, but require such pub

A Lesson from Vermont

Sheriff Tracy of Montpelier has
gained reputation which has extended
into several states, for his humane
treatment of prisoners. He has been
appointed delegate to the annual con-
vention of the Institute of Criminal
Law and Criminology. We trust that
he will attend, as what he says will be
from practical knowledge instead of
theory. We predict that the story of
his official experiences will be atten-
lively listened to.-Londonderry Sitter.

The Springfield Union thinks that the
talk about the tariff, the trusts aud the
overprodueiion Of gold in making high
prices has little point, but that the real
reason for the advance is revealed in the
census figures, which shows that urban
population has increased "a per cent in
the last 10 years, while rural population
has increased only ii per cent la other
words, the consumers are increasing
about three times as fast as the produ-
GERS. The cost Of living will continue
to go up until the producers of food
stuffs begin to catch up with the con-
sumers.
