Disseminated against persons owning

opinion, written by Judge John II.
Watson, holds that the legislature
had the right to determine by what
class of persons deposits were likely
to be made to an extent injurious
to public interests, and to direct the
operation of the statute against such
persons, to the exclusion of all others
provided the classification is not arbi-
trary and unreasonable. The court
declares that fish, by common law
are ferae naturae, that is, of a wild
nature, the general property of the
people of the state, and that an indi-

only to those he reduces to actual
possession. He cannot lawfully kill,

a legislative session, and he is still
further amazed at the utter lack OF
concert of action on the part Of the
people to Ihwart the designs Of the
lobby. Some time since when The
Landmark, as was its habit, spoke
OF the legislative lobby, it was taken
sharply TO task for its utteTances by
certain leading papersof the state and
asked for proof OF its existence. Yet
at the regular session of the present
legislature these same papers met
with q change of heart, and the
manner and frequency of their de-
nunciation of the lobby beat those
of The Landmark all to nothing.
Recognizing the fact, as we be-
lieve, that direct primary law in
Vermont cannot be secured by the
promise of candidates for the legis-
iature, for it has come to pass in
these days, by the teaching of the
lobby, that a platform pledge is Tor
campaign purposes only, then the
one best way to secure the law is by
the formation of a state wide direct
primary league. This the people
must do themselves. A petition must
be put in circulation in every town,
village and district, and then the
rank and file of the voters will be
acting in concert and there will be an
end TO the old machine run county
and state conventions. Get ready for
1912 and boom Vermont by getting
rid Of its parasites.

THAT Old ..Promotion'' Bogey.

"At the last two elections Vermont
promoted her lieutenant-governor to
the governorship. This being done
once or twice more and the custom
is fully established. Better not get
tied to that custom.-I Londonderry
Sitter.
The question of making or unmak-
ing a rule should not enter into
this matter at all. It will not be dis
puted that no man should be made
acknowledgements who is not cap
able of making a good governor
in case of vacancy That is the first
purpose of his election. Now, then,
if he not alone is worthy of being
governor but deserves to be by rea-
son of pre-eminent ability or con-
spicuous public service, the fact that
he is now acknowledgement and
that his advancement will go toward
establishing a custom" should not
figure. We want good governors
wherever we can find them. The
only danger from anything that could
be called a rule in the premises
would be to promote every lieutenant
governor as a matter of fact, wheth-
er he deserved to be promoted or not.

without a tour OF the colossal canvas

lover and admirer of blooded stock,
it is claimed you will find an hour

horses and ponies. For the last year
agents have been in the different
parts of the world making purchases
for this department, with a result
that today that Mighty Haag shows

family which wealth can procure,
and it is doubtful if anywhere near

Ladies and children are particularly
invited to visit this horse fair, which
all may safely do without escort as
uniformed and courteous attendants
are always present, to look after the
welfare of callers.

The Direct Primary-Get Ready for
1912.

The Direct Primary-Get Ready for
1912.
There is at this writing on the cal
endar of the assachuSetts state SEN
ate a bill providing for a state wide
direct primary law. Massachusetts
has had for some years a direct pri-
mary law that was operative in GER
tain localities and for the nomina-
ton of certain officials, but the now
proposed law provides for the direct
nomination of all cs ndidates for Of
fee, state, county, and district.
The bill now, at this writing, on the
calendar, laid for many weary
week in the pigeon hole of the ways
and means committee, during which
time tremendous pressure was
brought to prevent it's having fav-
orable report from the committee.
Every recourse known to it's oppon-
ents was brought to bear against ii,
but equally active were the advocates
of the bill and more powerful than
all, as it proved, was a pronounced
public sentiment for the measure. In
fact so emphatic was this demand
for the favorable reporting Of the bill
that the ways and means committee
finally committed the bill as original
ly offered without amendment or
change and with the recomn endation
that it become law.
In the opinion of the Massachu-
sets press the measure stands the
best of chances of becoming law. If
it does become such then the old time
convention system will have passed
away in the old Bay state. The poll
ticians, the heelers and the caucus
manipulators, will all be out of their
jobs and the people will once again
come into their own.
The demand for the direct primary
on the part of the people is nation
wide, and if it is deemed a safeguard
for the interests and rights of the
masses in Maine, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,, then why not have it
| in Vermont?
But whoever dwells, and that for
the instant, upon this suggestion of
direct primary law in Vermont will
perceive that the task of securing
such legislative enactment is of mon
umental proportions and dlscourag-
ing in its every phase. The machine
has tremendous grip on the poll
tica1 affairs Of the state. The stranger
and visitor in Vermont is amazed at
the power of the third house during

System is Not Working We

The bank guarantee system that
was adopted with so much enthusi-
asm in Oklahoma three years ago is
not proving a success, and not few
conservative newspapers declare
that the system has weakened
all the banks of the state, simply
because the ably managed banks
have to pay for the losses of the
weak and badly managed banks.
The banks like many other things
succeed or fail according to the abili-
ty and honesty of the men who run
them.
Our banking laws may not be
perfect, but an honest and able
banker is the safest person in the
world to handle the public's money.
Making folks honest by law has al
ways been a failure and always will
be- The evil effect of the Oklahoma
guarantee banking law is summed
up as follows by the New York Com
mercial:-
Five different assessments on
state banks average daily deposits
have been made in three years, the
total paid into the fund being
$878,352; ten banks have failed.
