LETTERS TO EDITOR
"TRIB THE TRAILER"

Editor Day Book-Judging from
the fact that on Wednesday morn
ing every paper except the Tribune
came through with the Mckinney
Weigle story, that The Day Book
scooped all the trust press on the
day before, the Trib must have been
trying to "Weigle" out of the story.
Hence this little piece Of socalled
poetry:
The Trib waited round on the L.
WeigIe case
For somebody else to begin it.
And then, after all of the papers in
town
Came through, they were forced
to get in it.
1t puts me in mind, just because it's

And why did she make no comment
when her angelic companion with
drew his arm, by way of silent rebuke
for such astonishing familiarity?
Doggone it, this thing has got to
stop. We male men have a tough
enough time of it as it is explaining
things to our beloved wives. Why
can't we get along innocently, dis
ecussing Dante's Inferno, and enjoy
ling a ramble in the park, without a
female woman grabbing us by the
arm?
Why should the female of the spe-
cies commit such deadly assault and
battery on one of us, simply because
she had us in a park?
Can't we enjoy the beauties of ma
ture, the glorious, melodious moon
light, the shrubbery. grass, alfalfa
and scenery, without being dragged
from our dream by such rude fem
mime attack?
Col dern it, why won't the remorse-
less females let us males alone? And
especially if we happen to be preach
ers, and love literature, and art? Why
grab our arm? Why intrude such
gross sensuality on our pure
thoughts?
Can't we have a law passed max
ing females keep their distance?
But, just suppose Marion had grab

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-12-01

The St. Adams Messenger prints a ia
Bile showing that in only four states Of
the union are more legislative bills per
10000 of population introduced than in
Vermont, while in only three states IS
the cost per bill higher than in Vermont,
If there is any spirit of reform in the
coming legislature, let it take the initia-
tive in demand that the number of
bills be kept down to reasonable proper
tons. 1t is ridiculous, not to say scan
dalous, that hundreds upon hundreds of
bills should be introduced in the Yer
mont legislative at each biennial term,
most of them, we are happy to say, GO
ing into the discard where they belong
only not until they have cost the state a
pretty penny. If each and every mem
ber of the legislature should resolve to

THE VERMONT DEER LAW.

Beginning at ) p. m. to-day the deer of
1 Vermont will be safe, theoretically speak
ing, for at least a year; and perhaps 1t
may be for longer period, the matter
depending upon the disposition OF the
incoming legislature. Throughout the
state there has been somewhat more de-
mand during the open season just con
Guiding that the closed season should be
extended for a few years in order TO per-
NIT the creatures TO increase in num-
bers; but the sentiment has not assumed
any general Importance and is not cal
culated to have serious influence on the
legislators. If any change is to be made,
il is probable that the length of the
open season will be reduced TO its former
duration, which was 10 days, rather than
70 make any drastic revolution III the
law; but there is some doubt whether
even that immaterial change win be
made, as the 1914 open season running
from Nov. 10 to Dec. l. both dates in.
elusive, has proven fairly satisfactory
and has not been been accompanied BY
any human shooting fatalities such as
were incident to the feyerish short sea
son Of 10 days, when all hunters rushed
into the woods at the outset and began
their fusillade in nervous haste lest the
few days IN which il was permitted them
10 kill deer should pass without bringing
down their quarry. Under the more leis-
urely methods permitted by the longer
open season there has been perhaps, a
better self.restraint on the part Of the
hunters and il is probable that far few
or hunters were in the woods az any Civ
en- time than was the case during the |
short season. Therein the longer season 4
commends itself And II we are correct.
~ informed there has not been any ap- 4
probably greater slaughter in the long 1
period than there was 10 the 10 DAYS for 1
mcrly allowed thus removing one 81 the
theoretical objections 70 the long season.
Hence Il would seem that The state could
% no better a the present time than 70
.ct the deer law alone for another bien-
NAL term and let the system prove H.

War and Sports.

While in Germany even little boys
have stopped playing games and are
playing soldiers with high seriousness
in England the controversy over foot
ball continues, despite the protests of
the poet laureate, DR.. Robert Bridges,
who calls the continuance of the sport
can intolerable humiliation" On the
other hand, it is urged that to discon-
tinue the games would increase unem-
| ployment. when win people who at
tack football realize" asks II. Herbert,
answering DIR. Bridges, that the eco
nomic factor is to play great part in
this war;" His figures show the great
place taken by sports in British econom-
ic life. The printing trade has been
hard hit already, and the abolition OF
football would be another blow "a sin
gle league club in London spends over
$500 a year upon printing No doubt
it is true that to stop the most use
less industry suddenly and without pro-
yiding a useful substitute is economical
ly demoralizing. If the very newspa-
pers which scod about the football
maintain their football page intact, il
is because they, too, have a pecuniary
interest in the sport and the proposal
the other day to curtail this feature
by Joint action OF the London press
was rather heroic. But the situation
suggests that since Waterloo was won

have grown in England till they are a
liability rather than an asset.
