High Power Rifles.

There are people who believe that th,
next legislature OF Vermont would con
fer great blessing should such a body
make il law that high power rifles
could not be used in the state for hunting
purposes.
AT the present time it is not an un.
common sight to see people start FOL
the woods with guns that will carry a
bullet for a mile and then do execution
Our contention is that such weapons are
dangerous and unnecessary. TO hunt any
kind OF game in the state does not re-
quire that the hunter shall be armed with
a rife that is 80 deadly. Deer are
easy animals to kill when once they are
hit and it is seldom that one can be seen
out of the range of the gun of ordinary
power.
The woods are filled with hunters when
the deer season starts and such a condi-
ton prevails as long as the season lasts.
That there are not more accidents re-
sulting in the loss OF life to human be-
Ings is a miracle. Windsor Journal.

Charges to the effect that an alien con.
spiracy exists to destroy munitions
plants are not unfamiliar features in the
newspapers, and in the arrest of the Ger.
man subject, Fay, in New York, progress
appeared to be made toward an exposure
of the plotters. Thus far no very con-
elusive evidence has been presented to
the public. But hints are appearing to
the effect we are on the eve of real dis
closures. These may deal particularly
with passport frauds, but ii such friends

Officials in this country the government
will presumably be hot on the trail of
the real instigators and feeders of plots
TO destroy legitimate American indus

1t has been suggested that the federal

in convicting even those brought into

difficult may be the task of bringing
