"open Season" in Maine.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
The so-called open season" has now
arrived when the strange impulse
seizes a portion of the community to
invade the Businesses of your beauti-
full State and inf1ict distress and death
upoin the innocent wild creatures
found there. Not sudden death alone,
let 1t be remembered; for many wound
ed animals will crawl away to die
slowly in their retreats.
That this passion to blot the sweet
face Of Nature with blood and suffer-
ing is legacy from the savage past
no rational mind will deny. That it is
full time an enlightened society put an
end to this periodical outbreak of
blood lust has also occurred to many,
not only on account of its gross inhu-
mainly but also on account of its seri-
Gus menace to human life from acct
dents continually occurring.
1t seems to me that a change of at
titude would take place in the minds of
many of the hunting fraternity if, be-
fore entering upon this so-called
sport" they would ask themselves this
question: "Is not the worlds burden of
pain already grievous enough without
my deliberately and unnecessarily add
ing to it,"
In Du Maurier's wonderful book,
Peter Ibbetson." is a passage. pages
95 and SO, which well illustrates my
meaning. 1t can be applied not only
to the rabbit but to all harmless wild
creatures, the gentle deer included.
"As 1 picked it (the wounded rab-
bit) off the ground and felt its poor
/ little warm. narrow chest, and the last
beats of it's heart under it's weak ribs,
and saw the blood on it's fur, l was
smitten with pity, shame and remorse;
and settled with myself that would
find some other road to English gentle
manhood than the Staying of innocent
wild things whose happy life seems SO
well worth living"

Away With the Pork Barrel.

The power OF public opinion, focused
upon the Senate through the f1libuster
of righteous protest of Senator Burton,
has brought about a remarkable alter
alton in the Rivers and Harbors bill.
AS it past the House the bill carried
appropriations amounting to $53,000,-
600. The first impulse of the Senate
was to expand this to $65,000,OO0. But
when Senator Burton had talked all
night against the bill, and reinforce
ments were ranging themselves to
support him. the Democratic majority
in the Senate suddenly saw great
light They reduced the appropria-
lions carried by the bill to $20,0000OO.
What is more. they appropriated this
in a lump sum, and entrusted its ex-
penditure to the War Department in
its discretion. The House may protest
against both the reduction and the
manner of making the appropriations.
But the country is already aroused
upon the subject. The House majority
will hardly dare to recede very far
from the advanced stand taken by
their associates in the Senate.-The
Independent.
And now the most amazing phase
of it lies in the claim of the Demo-
cratic press that the s20,000,o00 for riv-
ers and harbors is an evidence of
Democratic economy"
1t is Democratic economy" but not
Democratic economy" for the only
ECONOMY" of which the Democratic
party seems capable is the reduction
of extravagant expenditures by hard
Republican fighters.
A Democratic Congress, absolutely
controlled by President Wilson, is run
ming wild over expenditures. The APP
preparations now made by the present
Congress is over 1oo,oOO,0O0 more than
those of the last Republican Congress.
And yet President Wilson, in all his
messages and speeches, has said not
one word urging on Congress the nee
essity of economy and retrenchment.
Democratic Senators fought to put
across the $5S,OOo,00o appropriation
which the River and Harbors bill car
ries and at the same time the Presi-
dent and Congress are pushing
through a special tax to cover the
failure of the Underwood tariff law to
produce sufficient revenue to run the
expenses of the Government

Harry M Heating, clerk in the

had an uncomfortable experience in
mountaineering recently. They had
climbed Mt. Battle, and though the
afternoon was quite we'll advanced
started across lots" for the higher ele-
walton known as Mt. Megunticook.
The journey proved much more diff
cult than they had expected, and as
not infrequently happens to mountain
climbers, they lost their bearings.
Dusk came on rapidly and in the
gathering darkness they saw the flu
tility Of trying to reach the open. So
fire was built and they accepted the
situation as phflosophicallyg as posi-
BILE. Their continued absence alarmed
those at home and word was sent to
Camden that the young couple was
missing. Searchers started Immediate
~ for Mt. Battle, ignorant Of the fact
that the couple had crossed to the
other mountain. Arrangements were
being made to reinforce the searching
party next morning, when news came
that the missing ones had. shown up.

"RUSTLING" DYING OUT.
New Form Of Cattle Stealing Developed
In the Northwest.

Alleged stock rustlers TO the number
of thlrty-two were arrested In Mon

spectors made 10 d. w, Raymond. sec

commissioners. During the quarter
ten stock rustlers were convicted. and
at the end of the quarter there were
seventeen cases pending,
There has been less stealing this
year than In any previous year since

said Mr.. Raymond "There Is practi-
cally no tampering with brands any
more. This method Of rustling belong
ed TO the days OF the open range. Now
we have TO contend with the slaughter
Of cattle for beef. There Is more OF
this going on than was the case ten
years ago, but the aggregate thefts
are considerably reduced.
with the coming Of the dry farm
ers to Montana ana the bigger demand
in the state for beef there has been a
great deal more killing Of cattle on
the ranges. Oftentlmes the hides are
burned and the meat taken to town
and sold. The owner OF the slaugh-
tered animal simply knows his animal
has disappeared. and sometimes he
dnds the dead ashes Of a fire on the
range where that animal grazed. But
this Is not evidence"
