Now, Waterville has no more need OF
three banks, than she has of three

something akin to a banking fad In

The Farmsrs' Side.

Hunters who regard as cranky and
unreasonable" those farmers who re-
fuse permission to hunt over their
lands are invited TO hear the farmers
side Of the case. 1t may have the ef-
feet OF changing their viewpoint.
Experience has taught the farmers
tina / hunting IS a menace 10 their live
stock. Even in cases where the hunt
ers are exceptionally careful the &C.
cidental wounding OF horses and cows
is at times unavoidable. This is par
ticulariy true on farms where there Is
an abundance Of cover. Domestic ami
mails frequently seek shelter or forage
where the game is hiding and their
presence is not observed until one Of
them receives a shot intended for a
bird or rabbit.
1t Is possible OF course. to avoid this
class OF accidents by having the hunter
locate the horses and cattle before he
begins stalking for game, but many
farmers feel that this is an imposition
on their time. Moreover, they do not
care to discriminate. II they permi.
one hunter, known to be careful, to
hunt over their lands they know that
they will have requests from others
who are not 30 careful. To avoid the
embarrassment Of explaining to the
latter why they are not permitted to
hunt they make rule against all hunt
ing on their places.
Then, too, there is the farmer who
has set his face against all destruction
Of Wild game. His feeling on the sub
ject is sometimes purely sentimental.
but in most instances It is based on
more substantial grounds. He believes
that the birds especially are necessary
to his farm from an economic stand
point and he wants to conserve them.
He probably has no objection to the
shooting OF rabbits, but he does not
want to take chances on having the
birds killed and SO he closes his gates
to everyone carrying a gun.
A brief news item in the State Jour-
nal recently explains why so many
farmers object to the shooting OF quail.
1t told Of the number OF chinch bugs
found In the crops OF quail killed In
the vicinity Of Taylorvflle. Apparently
the birds had been living on these de-
structive insects and been consuming
great quantities of them. Anyone who
understands the righteous antipathy OF
farmer to the chinch bug can under.
stand why he has a warm spot In his
heart for the quail and Tor every Dird
that wars on these pests.
And there is another rural objection
to the hunter concerning which little
has been said. On many farms are one
or more nervous animals which are
thrown into state Of terror by any
sort OF an explosion. There are COWS
which exhibit signs Of hysteria every
time they hear a shot, horses which
hun away when a gun Is discarged
sheep that stampede and sometimes in
jure themselves when hunter appears
Even dogs are sometimes afraid Of
guns and hurry to place Of safety
whom they see one. And II the ter

every possible effort has been made TO
get him out Now IL seems likely that
the effort will succeed. A jury says
Kelley was insane when he killed the
man. The verdict was that Kelley was
insane and criminally irresponsible
when ne shot and killed the bartender.
There isn't much doubt of that. The
young physician was no doubt crazed

[Des Moines Tribune.l

Les hOlIltS lIlDuNS.J
There Is a growing sentiment In the
state for Cummins presidential can
didacy.
The belief is that IL a man of pro-
gressive tendencies is to be named by
the republicans he is stronger in many
respects than anybody who will be
available. and as likely to ne accepted.
But neither Iowa republicans nor
Senator Cummins will court mere
honorable mention. And .ime will de-
velop whether there is anything more
than that in the situation.
The senator has been once presented
by the state. and would have nothing
to gain by again being merely the
candidate from Iowa. There must be
a call from enough other states to
make the game worth the candle.
1t is likely that sentiment will begin
to crystalize early. Already the sena-
tor is being mentioned in the eastern
newspapers. Before this session Of
congress is ended we may look for
definite alignments.
In the meantime the state should
hold itself in readiness to do whatever
the situation may suggest.
