Hunters Licenses.
Rutland Daily News. }

The increase by the last Vermont
legislature of the price OF hunters
license from 80 to - cents will give State
Fish and Game Commissioner John w.
Titcomb and his associates over $4,000
more than last year to enforce the game
laws of the state and to pay the expenses
Of the hatcheries from which thousands
of fry tingerlings are annually sent out to
replenish the fast disappearing fnny in
habitants OF Ncrmont's streams. This est
mate OF the increase in the fund Is based
on the number if licenses issued i'm 1912.
approximately $1,000. but as the number
is larger each year it Is safe to say that the
estimate Is too low
There Is Il certain class of hunters who
will object to the added - cents in the
cost of a hunters privilege and some PEG
pie are opposed to amy license on the
ground that in q free country like the
United States shooting should he free to
everybody. But every thinking sportsna
recognizes the fact that in this age OF
perfection in firearms and modern con
vcnienCes for travel, to say nothing Of the
steady increase in the hunters who an
nually go afeld, prompt action is neces
sary if the sportsman and angler OF the
next generation are to have any opportn
ty for the pastime of their choice.
With the fee for "A hunters license ~
cents Vermont set the price as low as any
state which had any license. There wer,
only one or two others which made tn,
fee a half dollar the average amount be
ing 81.

Short Weights.
Bloomington Banner. ,

Butter prints not quite full weight
is the subject of a letter printed in
another column. This letter covers
one point of view, but hardly the
correct one. The state weights and
measures department is not after any
one individual, but is trying to see
that the people of Vermont get what
they pay for. The White Creek cream
cry Is only one of the many that do
business in Vermont. Not all of them,
but quite a number. have I'm years
past used butter molds that gave
weight a trifie short 1t was not much
on any one pound. but in the aggre
gate it amounted to several hundred
pounds n year individuals did the
same thing and consumers paid annu-
ally for thousands of pounds of but
ter that they did not get. The grocer,
as a rule. did not make any money
by the shortage. He took the prints
as they came to him and sold them
often without weighing. Since the
weights and measures law went into
effect two years ago there has been a
gradual change. There have been a
few convictions. but these are of rel
atively little Importance just as this
one was here the other day. The point
Is that attention is called by these
cases and dealers are rendered more
careful and consumers get full value.
/ The Banner has no idea that the
/ White Creek creamery has been trying
| to defraud its customers. Ii has prob
ably been a little careless and this
little advertising it got the other day
Will result in greater care in the fU-
turc The legislature that recently ad-
iowned made the weights and meas
ures law considerably more stringent
than it was before The inspectors
now have the right to 90 into a store
and take any package of goods-even
one Just done up for a customer-and
test the weight or measure. They have
right to step into a kitchen and
measure the milk that the milllman
has just left, and they may measure
the potatoes, apples or other produce
that farmer is peddling. Probably
there won Z be many prosecutions,
but there will be enough to serve as
warning and the result viii be
chiefly preventive. The recent session
of the legislature which cost the state
of Vermont $4,000 will save the
people of the state more than that
amount during the next two years

1t is a significant fact that the stu
dents of Amherst college recently
voted to I in favor of summer base
ball. The result indicates that they
favor Il system in which hypocrisy will
have no part. If an American boy or
man has something he can exchange
for eash-whether that be rags, bones,
musical voice or baseball skili-he
believes he has the right to make the
exchange. A student who can earn $25
a week through the summer by throw
ing a baseball should have the same
right to capitalize his skill as one
whose propensity is for throwing
hash. Brown university handles the
summer baseball problem sensibly. 1t
is willing its students should play on
teams not in the national agreement.

The present interest that is being
shown in investigating vice among
women promises to bring definite re
suits along line of effort that has
not been followed as closely as it
should. Reformers have been decidedly
shy of taking up the social evil in the
past, considering it one of the things
that should not be discussed openly,
but it has at last come to be realized
that ignoring the situation does not
improve it, and there is a disposition
to do something that will count

For the terrible suffering and blood
shed resulting from the siege Of Adri-
anople since the ending of the armis-
tice and for the lives that must be
sacrificed if the Allies set out to take
the Tchatalia lines, cowardly Eu-
rope groveling at the feet of an un-
holy alliance against the Balkan
League, led by Austria, must be blam-
ed. Russia. on the face OF things, must
also accent her share of the shame. A
united Balkan League with Russia
determined to see fair play coulh have
called the bluff of the Triple Alliance.
The Balkan League alone, if perfectly
united, could bid defiance to Europe.
ANY attempt to coerce by force the
veteran armies that won Kirk-Klisse,
Lule- Burgas, Uskub, Monastir, Salon
lea and Janina would bring into play
forces that cOul0 not be controlled. 1t
is one thing for Russia automatically
to advise Servia and Montenegro to
obey the behest of the Powers in their
decision to form an autonomous Al
bania; it would be quite another to
stand supineIv by and see Slav peoples
crushed under the heels of Latins and
Germans. The evidences of iealousies
among the Allies is a disturbing feat

dress and appoints a commission to
prescribe the fashions to he worn by
the women of the state. The promot-

no experience. Even if the proposed
measure should become law the
ladies would wear just what they
wished to, and all legal enactments in
the world could not prevent them
from doing so.
