Claim Deer Nuisance.

Petitions which may influence
changes in the game laws Of the
entire state have been delivered
to Governor E. L. Philip by or
chard owners and other resi-
dents of Sank and surrounding
counties. The communications
ask the governor to exercise his
influence for the enactment of
laws which will provide an open
season on deer in the southern
counties of the state, advising
Wisconsin's executive that deer
are doing a tremendous damage
to fruit trees.
I. G.. Sanders, state entomolO-
gist, believes that open seasons
should be provided in counties
at least as far south as Sank
county. Mr.. Sanders has collect
ed a number of bundles of shub-
berry showing the damages done
by deer eating the bark.
1t is possible that number OF
other counties will now com
municate with the governor and
with members of the legislature
recommending extensive amend
ments to the present laws to
provide open seasons IN certain
additional counties and to ex-
tend the period Of open season in

Upward ife's rugged steep,
Then let us lead them gently down

HAS JACK LONDON GOMEZ
Jack London, as far as we are con-
cerned, is no more. Whether he still
lives in some other state Of con-
seriousness or whether the urn on
Glen Elyn ranch contains all that
is left of this remarkable writer we
cannot say. But one of two things
is sure. He either met his finish or
he didn't. What we believe has moth
ing to do with the facts.
Bob Ingerson once said: eff we are
immortal it is a fact in nature and
cannot be changed by unbelief."
Mark Twain said he would have Civ
en- SO to hear Moses on ngersol.
If Jack London still exists 1 would
give more than that to hear what he
has to say about it. -

[ wish he could have stuck around
little longer.-C. E.

 MT. Gary sees the time when the business which Is now being done by this country will be stopped through the declaration of peace. 1t may be near and it may be far of, but if the provisions of the democratic tariff-for- 'reyenue-only are going to be kept in force to operate against the industrial activity in this country, as 1t did just before the opening of the war and as it will again following its close. 1t means that the business of this coun- try is going to be subjected to an un- fair competition such as will over come all the benefits which thea war has brought.

HE CAN AND IS,

In advocating the reelection of President Wilson before the Woodrow Wilson College Mems league a speak CT said ""The farmer who usually is republican was never so prosperous as now. Can he be craving for change ?" ''~ Does he suppose for one minute that the farmer is going to be hoodwinked into thinking that the prosperity which he is enjoying is due to the ef- forts of the Wilson administration :? If he does he is due for one of the biggest surprises of his life. The farm CT as well as the manufacturer is doubtless making the most of the bus mess which is coming his way, but they all remember the conditions which followed the introduction of democratic policies during 1913 and they are fully aware that such pros perity as they are sharing in today is directly due to the war in Europe
 The speaker further says, "The voter should be warned daily to let well enough alone" By well enough" he of course means the conditions which have brought about the present busi- ness activity, that is the war, in Europe, but if he stops to think he must himself know that regardless of the way the farmer or anyone else casts his vote it will have no influence upon the European war and that is what gives him the chance to refer to well enough"
 The farmer or the artisan is not to be fooled by any such representation. He wants prosperity but he wants it on a firm basis. such as has accom- panied the putting into operation of sound republican principles and such as will insure the stability of it even after the war is over. Prosperity of the present type which is here today and gone tomorrow isn't the kind which the farmer or anyone else is going to prefer. Thus the farmer can pot only be, but actually is, craving 3 change, a change that will be for the better.

THE TEACHERS, CONVENTION

Norwich was pleased to welcome the teachers from this part of the state 10 the roth annual meeting of the Con- necticut State Teachers association in lhis city on Friday. It is always eager to entertain those who are striv- Ing to maintain and to better the ed sectional opportunities of the state, and to lend what encouragement lies within its power to their work.
 While the teachers are devoting their efforts to the instruction of others 1t cannot help being recognized that there is great value in such get together meetings for the purpose of learning the way in which many of the problems which confront each and every one are being handled by others. Each convention thus means a school of instruction for the teachers and they are necessary if progress and ef- ficiency are to prevail. This is par ticularly true in the case of those who are just taking up the duties of an educator, but it is equally valuable for those who have been engaged in such activities for years. There Is plenty of stimulation to be found for all when there is a pooling of knowl- edge and experience and the advance naent of new ideas.
 The many sessions of the day can not fail to have been beneficial. The idea of holding four meetings sirnul- taneously throughout the state makes it possible for all to attend and the greater the ndmber to benefit the greater will be the results in the train tng of the future citizens of the state.

Different Kinds of Peace.

The president tries to befog the is- sue when he says, as he said at Shad- ow Lawn the other day, that there is only one choice as against peace"
 There are two kinds of peace-peace with honor and peace without bonor. MT. Wilson has shown himself content with the latter sort.
 It might. be said that there is still third kind of peace-peace that is not really peace. That is the variety that exists in Mexico today by the grace of WoodroM wi lsSA ' ai4a9his protege, Venustiano Carranza.
 The Mexican kind of, peace Is peace only by courtesy. Theodore Roosevelt struck an unforgettable note when he called it the blood stained peace that we have been "waging" south of the Rio Grande.

GOOD PLACE TO KEEP OUT OF.

After having served his time in the state prison and having been released, Q man has not only given expression to his feelings regarding his term be- hind the bars but he has done so in a manner which has gotten his state ment into public print. He declares that poor food is given the prisoners, that conditions are unsanitary, that the inmates are worked beyond their strength and are punished when they cannot bear up under it.
 These statements are not in accord with the reports which are made by those who are constantly making inn partial investigations of such institu- tions, but it is evident that this fel- low got an entirely different idea of what prison life means than what he had previously expected. From all indications he has nursed a groueh and in all probability he was not a1- lowed to have his own way. for it was a correctional institution where he had been stopping and not club house. He has resented his restric- tions instead of profiting by them, and he gives no idea of what his prison anticipated table dhote service and in it's stead received plain and wholesome food and felt the influence of disci- pline.
 That he has profited In one way is, however, revealed, for when he com plains of prison life it must be taken for granted that he has found that 1t is a mighty good place to keep away from. If that is so his term at Weth- ersfield has not been a failure after all and the institution has really done something for him.

POLITICAL
A Confession.

The friends of President Wilson ad- init the weakness of their candidate when they persist in wanting to know what Hughes would have done. The query is a confession that the presi- dent has made a mess of things. If they were satisfied with his course they would point to it with pride but they are not and, they know that oth- CTS are not satisfied.
 They do not undertake to justify what he has done in Mexico, for ex- ample. They fall back on the lame expedient of asking what some enc else would have done that might be more satisfactory. What MT. Hughes would have done is not at issue. As the Star has pointed out before, it is idle to discuss how he would have met conditions that never would have de- veloped under different handling.
 The interesting fact now is not what any one else would have done, but what President Wilson did do. Even his supporters tacitly acknowledge that he bungled, and they are asking

SENATOR MILAN.

Highly important is it to the citi- zens of Coonnecticut while electing a new president, with policies which stand for the best interests of the na- tion. to see that he is given the sup port for the carrying out of such pol icies and that lies in giving him re- publican majority in both houses of congress. Sd R la
 In this respect the duty of Connec- ticut is to return to the senate George P. Mclean who. during his term of service in the upper house, has 50 faithfully represented the interests of Connecticut.
 Senator Mclean was supporter of the bill which provided for the Chill drenj bureau in the department of com- merce and labor. He was likewise a supporter of the workmen's compensa- ton bill and the bill which limited the hours of daily service of laborers and mechanics employed upon work done for the United States. In the effort to amend the bill which applied the eight hour law to work on harbors and rivers for the United States, which amendment would have eliminated those engaged in dredging operations he opposed the motion for a recon sideration which would have made a vote on the change possible. He was also favorable to the child labor bill, but failed to vote through absence, though the one with whom he was paired announced that had he been present he would have voted yes.
 This is only a partial record of the services which the senator has rem dered at Washington for he has con- sistently and actively labored in be- half of the states and the nations welfare and he deserves rousing en- QOrsernent
