DEER HUNTING.

Though there is a widespread feel Ing against the deer in this state be- eause of the depredations to crops. legislation which will create an open eeason must be so guarded as to pre- fept the annihi1ation of the animals
 Tf%ch have been encouraged to breed
 n this state and protect the lives of people about the farms or woods 4 tubstitute bill for the plan of making The open season one week has been prepared wherein Mondays and We'd aesdays for three weeks in November Ire recommended, with the require- h1ent that g. special license of five dol lars and the restriction of the frearm to the shotgun are imposed. This is tn behalf of the deer. If it would be possible to restrict the shooting of she deer on those six specified days 1t has an advantage over the original bill which advocated a solid week but if two days 8 week, will mean the pursuit of the deer for the full three weeks, but perhaps only the actual bringing in of the carcass on the prescribed days, it will be to the dis advantage of the animal.
 All other states which have an open season fix it between two definite dates. Deer shot within that time are within the law but otherwise. except that they may be found dama gfng crops, it is illegal and punishable The requirements of the high license will reduce the number of hunters and the limitation to the shotgun. is in the fn- te~est of safety

STRENGTHEN THE NAVY.

Much food for reflection is given to the democratic congress by Captain John Hood of the navy general board when he advises the proper consider Rtion of the needs of this country's navy in order to maintain it's position and it's standing among leading na- lions. It is particularly important to the democrats because of the poIcv which was adopted in the last session by that body, against not only the two battleshfp plan as advocated by the secretary of the navy. but against even one until forced to it by the sen ate. In his declaration that the navy Of the United States is at the mercy of Europe and getting feeb1er because of the attention which the European powers are devoting to building up their power on the sea. he points out with telling effect that with all our demands for the upho1ding of the Monroe doctrine. that doctrine is no stronger than the American ffeet.''
 However much merit there was in the suggestion made by Winston Churchill to halt naval construction by agreement among nations for a year, there seems little prospect of it's being done. Great Britain. Ger many, France and Japan are yearly making steady additions to their na- vies. For the sake of maintaining our peaceful relations the expense of con structing battleships is a very small item in comparison with the horrors and the cost of war. even though it be but a small one. The safety Of the national position and peace are far more important than the pork barrel
