Pre-Adamite Fishermen.
(Rutland IIerald.)

The Newport Express and Standard
makes an unusual argument for the
abolition of the siX-inch trout law
in the article published in yesterday S
Herald. 1t is not the argument of the
sportsman, however, but the age-old
protest of the primitive against re
straint of any kind.
The redskin, faced by the white
man 5 civilization, filed a protest. The
squatter, confronted 10y deed, pro-
tested violently. The trapper, estopped
by q wire fence, considered himself de-
prived Of Il native right. The hunter,
reading the first game law, denounced
all regulation as tyranny. The fisher
man, compelled to observe seasons and
size, makes the same clamor.
1t may be that fish and game laws
are all wrong. Old-fashoned people,
reading Section IS of Chapter IL of
the constitution, might find cause for
thought in the following:
Sec. g. The inhabitants of this
state shall have liberty in seasonabIe
time to hunt and fowl on the lands
they hold, and on other lands not in
closed, and in like manner to fish in
all boatable and other waters (not pri-
vate property under proper regula-
tions, to be made and provided by the
General Assembly.
Possibly the legislatures, in framing
"proper regulations have exceeded
their authority, and perhaps their def
nitions of seasonable tines may be
unreasonable, but that hardly affects
the Newport 5 aborigine 5 position
He says the law embarrasses, irri-
tates, PARTICLES, excludes and virtu-
ally destroys many fish. -
He would, therefore, mend things
by repeating the law and permitting
fish of all size to be taken, regardless
of the need Of propagation and to the
natural laws of the trout species. In
fact he says he cares nothing for the
fundamentals. He just wants a string
of fish ..-
With all due respect to the contcm-
porary, it is just that sort OF law
less, greedy and improvident fisherman
that the ''proper regulations of the
state are aimed at. Through years of
costly legislation and regulation, some
thing resembling effectiveness is now
achieved by the Vermont fish and
game laws. Then, because such regula-
tions run frequently counter to the de
sires and designs of pre-Adamite fish
hogs, they must, fOrsooth, be swept
away.
The very term q Pre-Adamite" is in
descriptive, because the cave-man took
his fish for food, and hunger knows
no law.
There is a querelous and rebellous
| timbre in the protest of the Newport
fisherman which should serve as a

Manufacturers in Rutland, Benning-
ton, Springfield and Hardwick partici-
pated yesterday in the celebration of
Vermont Industries day. Factories in
the four communities were thrown open
to visitors. The plan was initiated by
the Greater Vermont association with
the purpose of calling attention to the
fact that Vermont, commonly consider
ed an agricultural state, possesses i'm
portant industries. Other cities and
towns will hold similar observances
later in the summer. Brattleboro s
observance will come in the ''Made in
Brattleboro' exhibit, which will be q
feature of the Valley fair the last week
in September.

work on the engine.
Nothing would have surprised young
Duplane more than to learn that he
himself was the attraction on which
his ambitious proprietor depended to
draw the capitalist into his scheme.
As even the guileless Billy had
guessed. Duplane was a name to con-
jure with. The mere rumor that An
lupldHC Was ISEHOlCly COuncCltu
with any particular enterprise was
sufficient to guarantee its success, and
even. the shrewdest financial heads in
the city did not scorn to follow Du-
planes leading.
Being SO well aware of this, Wood
realized that If a discreet and unostents-
tious rumor got abroad that Andrew
Duplane's only nephew was an active
worker in Woods new enterprise, 1t
would greatly facilitate his search for
capital, and the astute Wood was not
mistaken.
F. F. Harrison. whose interest he had
made one or two futile attempts to
arouse, had taken the trouble to look
over the premises personally. Wood en-
tertained no illusions that the fnancier
had been actuated by any other motive
than a curiosity to see this alleged rela-

Thus it came about that when Billy
paid his third visit to his uncle he was
in his greasy overalls and hatless- He
walked jauntily up Euclid avenue, and
knocked at the house door.
The discreet Perkins opened it. and
admitted Billy, with never a flicker
Of surprise on his face. As he showed
the strangely-clad young man into the
drawing-room where he had waited on
his first visit, his manner was as COM
pletely respectful as it had been on that
occasion.

After a few moments he returned.

Perkins said.
Billy obeyed readily enough, but as he
entered the room he regretted momen-
tarily the whim that had brought him
to visit his uncle in such attire.
Seated at a long table were several
men, most of whom Billy recognized as
the big financiers OF the city. At their
head sat andrew Duplane, who rose and
pushed back his chair. To all appear
ances, he noticed nothing unusual in his
nephew's costume. and he greeted him
with gentleness and mild pleasure that
were almost affectionate.
We have just concluded an informal
meeting of directors of a little private
company in which / am interested" he
said, as though TO explain the business

standing why, that the financier had
come to a decision. He is manager OF

his fortune by realizing the fact that
everybody had two feet. and used them
more or less, most of the time. So long
as that state of things exists, people
are going to want boots. and Andrew is

toned Billy. while you are enlarging

Because said Wood practically, II

Hiring will do to begin with. There's

William Andrew thought over the situ-
alton when he was alone When Wood
had first suggested his approaching Uncle
Andrew. he had hardly regarded the idea
seriously, but now he was vitality inter-
ested in the scheme and the matter as
sumed an altogether different complex
ion. Billy believed the plan to be a good
one, but was 1t good enough to tempt the
money out Of Andrew Duplane's cash
box?
The Washington herald., 1914-06-28

That. Billy decided, depended on the
man who presented its attractions. Only
a short time ago he had determined never
again to approach his uncle without some
definite proposal. But here he had the
proposition. and. curiously. he would visit
his uncle this time less for the purpose
Of getting money for himself than Of get
ting assistance for the new scheme. He
would rather have found the necessary
capital somewhere else. Still, 1t didn't
really matter so long as the cash was OBJ
taIned.
Billy resolved that he would go to the
mansion on Euclid avenue as soon as
he had changed his working clothes.

Meeting Of Brothers Short Time Ago After an Esangement OF
Many Years Recalls Controversy of 1885, When Was De-
Cded by the Authorities in London That BaIington

London.-The meeting Of Bramweli
and Ballington Booth few days ago
after an arrangement Of many years
has led to the making public OF many
versions Of the controversy which cul-
minated more than II years ago In the
withdrawal Of Ballington Booth from
the Salvation Army. But the truth ap-
pears to be that he resigned rather
than leave America. He had CONTRACT
ed an affection for the country wnicn
made q permanent residence else

termination to remain in the land OF
the free and the home of the brave.
Early in the year 1896 the author

deemed essential to the promotion OF
the cause. This oath Is taken by every
man and woman commissioned TO
serve the organization. The children
Of the founder were expected to adnere
even more tenaciously to the princi'
piles inculcated by the Salvation Army
than those who were not connected by
the ties OF blood with the general.
But darlington Booth thought the
exigencies of the American situation
would Justify a departure from the
rule Of unquestioning obedience which
was established when the Salvation
Army was In its swaddling clothes.
A number of his influential friends
represented to him that to leave the
country at that time would be to invite
disaster for the entire movement in
America. He appears to have accept
ed this view Of the situation and Lon
don was urged to rescind its decision.

toned London to permit Ballington
Booth to retain his American COM
mand. But General Booth. who was
supported by his cabinet. was OBJ
durate. He said the decision was not
the result OF caprice, It was not hastily
arrived at and that 1t was irrevocable.
Bramwell Booth, who was then chief
OF staff, communicated the decision OF
his father to Senator Depew. In the
letter he assured Mr.. Depew Of his and
his fathers appreciation Of the SYM
pathy shown by Americans for the
cause, but he said no exception to an
imperative rule could be made in the
case Of any member of the Booth fam
lily. They occupied the same relation
to the organization as the humblest
oficer In It. Bramwell Booth said.
From past experience, Darlington
Booth knew to attempt to change a de-
cision Of his fathers when It was once

favor on any measure that would make

object Of privileged Legislation" In

distrust may have followed reconsid-

tempt has ever been made by those
responsible for the schism to alien
ate property.
In those DAYS Mrs. Maud Baliington
Booth by her gracious manners, her
oageging disposition and her genuine
sympathy for the homeless and lost
won a place IN the hearts Of many cul-
tured and wealthy citizens OF New
York. She and her talented husband
we're made welcome IN many drawing
rooms. They succeeded In reaching
and influencing q class that none Of
their predecessors In America could
get within hailing distance Of. These
people helped to finance the Salvation
Army, and by setting the seal OF their
approval on It's work widened It's
sphere and broadened its influence.
Some persons have said London did
not approve OF the social "triumphs"
achieved by the son and daughter-in-
law OF the general. II was thought that
Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth had been
made a sort OF social fad and that
when the persons who smiled on her
got tired OF the diversion they would
simply drop her. II is only fair to
say that the position she secured for
herself IS years ago has been strength
ened by the lapse Of time rather than
weakened.
Darlington Booth, after a brief resi-
dence in the country. decided to be-
come an American citizen. He told a
vast audience In the legislative assem-
bly, hall at Topeka, Kan, in February
Of 1898 that he regarded the Constitu-
ton Of the United States as the "su-
preme expression of a free people"
