bred, she will be compelled to go

THE most remarkable exhibition of

children were in the woods with their
father, the boy picking up an AK and
accidentally cutting his sister. She never
cried or murmured, but held her hand
for the doctor to amputate the ragged

Fish-Hoeing VS.. Fishing

The question OF SEEMING in Lake
Champaign is at present before the
legislature. Most of us are sick and
tired of the word conservation. And
yet If we are to describe fifty the in
herent reasonableness which under
lies the sentiment against SEEMING.
we must have recourse to this thread
bare word IL is good conservation
to abolish seining; the kind of wise
restraint which forgoes the wasting
of our resources and the sacrifice of
a golden future for a slight present
advantage.
The reason some people are so slow
to understand the evil of SEEMING is
because of their failure to recognize
the distinction between FISH and fish
ing. Fish are a product of rather
minor importance to fresh water peo-
pie. They will and do sustain life
and fill up the cavities in the human
frame As a commodity they can
hardly be said to be the foundation of
any extensive industry or the source
OF any great influx of wealth.
Fishing is not a product in the com
mon sense of the word, or a commod-
ity II is an attraction, sometimes an
epidemic, often-times a mania, always
a luxury. II is fish plus the exercise.
and excitement and fun Of catching
fish And in actual cash income to
the State fishing means the value of
the fish with a very large plus for
money drawn into Vermont and spent
here for board. supplies. transporta-
| ton and service. Considered as an at
| traction fishing does not stop with
the fisherman. 1t extends to his fam
| lily who have to follow him here for
| their vacation, to his friends who like
| to spend their summer where he has
his camp and to the people who hear
him raving of his sport and gather
the impression that this is fine
/ place for an outing.
Maine gets a greater income from
] her summer visitors than all the ives
tern States from their gold mines.
and the foundation OF Names sum
mer fame is two things. fishing and
hunting Vermont has possibilities
OF wealth from visitors as yet unde-
veloped.
SEEMING is not fishing. It is the hog
way of taking fish And it goes a long
way 10 make fishing less attractive.
II SEEMING is tolerated. Vermont will
get exactly what her fish are worth.
II fishing is encouraged Vermont will
take a long step toward a golden fu-
ture which is rightly hers. The lust
Of an immediate gain prompted one
well-known character to barter his
birthright for mess Of pottage;
there is a danger that Vermont's
birthright may be bartered for the
fishes. without even the redeemine

HeartIess overseers

The action of Barre city's poormas-
ter. which virtually forced two ltal-
ian women into selling rum to support
their families, is but one instance of
the harshness and parsimony with
which the poor are cared for CD in
many a Vermont city and town. One
NJ these women. trying to make ends
meet in a family of twelve on $23
month. was cut down to Sl3, of which
S11 went for rent. II seems scarcely
credible that such a thing could have
been done. yet the evidence was APP
parently sufficient to convince the
court. which placed the women on
nrobation. when a charge OF liquor
selling was brought against them.

The New Way of Financing a Cam
paiqn.

We called slaveholding and Nor
mon polygamy twin relics OF barDar-
ISM" persisting in our modern civil
cation, and we put an end to them
long ago. We have now made an end
of those twin evils of our politics, the
spoils system and secret campaign
funds. Ten years of agitation put the
merit system into our laws, the move
ment for publicity of campaign con
tributions, actively urged on after
1904. became effective in less than six
years. The Federal act bears date
of June 25, 1910. The spoils system
and the secret campaign fund nave
the likeness of twins. Both are
fraud upon the people, both are IL
legitimate devices for perpetratng
party power, both are indefensible
save by frankly and cynically i'm
moral arguments, says the November
Century"
Perhaps the greater evil of the two,
as a betrayal of the interests OF the
people, is the acceptance by cam
paign committees OF large gifts of
money from persons or corporations
who expect, and who have usually re-
ceived much more than the worth OF
their money in Legislative favors or
valuable privilege. There have been
many indiscreet revelations of the
theory and practical working of The
system. Indignantly protesting that
the highly protected manufacturing
interests had been too niggardly in
their giving, one politician gave In
structions to FRY the fat out OF
them; and it is notorious that in the
field of tariff legislation the covenant
between the party in power and the
corporations that gave bountifully 10
keep it in power was faithfully kept.
The hand that gave the fund guided
the pen that wrote the schedules.
1t is equally notorious that with these
great sums the suffrage was corrupt

In very truth the publicity of cam
paign contributions is a reform OF FAR
reaching vitality and Importance, and
it is immensely gratifying that it has
been ungrudgingly accepted by those
upon whom this ordinance of great
self-denial has been imposed. But
the people, the voters themselves,
must understand that their emancipa-
ton brings its duties and responsible
lities. 1t costs a great deal of money
properly to enlighten the electorate
upon the issues of a Presidential
campaign, as ii is of the very essence
of good government that the voter
should make his choice with under
standing. knowledge is necessary, 1t
is to his interest that he have it.,

Government Helping the Banks"

Editor The Georgian:
Your journal of October 7, I'M
der heading THE Government Is
Helping the Banks" puts banks and
bankers before the reading public
in a false position The bank of
which l am an active officer does
hold on deposit moneys belonging
to the United States government.
We are obliged to pay Ia per
cent interest on this money, sub
ject to call at any moment-a very
different proposition from a time
deposit The government however,
first effected a good bargain for
themselves, j. e., we bought and left
with the United States treasury TO
secure deposits United States gov
eminent bonds, paying per cent
interest on their face value, but as
the bonds cost a premium, we really
obtain only 2.S5 per cent on their
actual cost.
A bond for LOCO pays per
cent .................... $4,000
money OF Inc gONeGnment
deposited against a $1,000
b on d shows actually
$429.50 at IA per cent.
This costs the bank, per
annum ................. 9.66
Net return ................. $20.34
Hence an actual outlay,
bond with premium cost ST .020n0
Money on deposit. 1880
Shows net tied up.........$ 59050
Which pays only $20.34, or say 3.44
per cent per annum
Any country bank in my neigh
borhood can loan all its money at
per cent, hence when we loan the
government at 3,44 per cent we are
paying 4,56 per cent for the pres
tige and privilege of being a United
States depository of public funds.
Surely when We have more money
invested in government bonds de-
posted with the United states
treasurer than the amount Of mon
ey in the bank to the credit of the
government. the difference becomes
net loan to the government.
