FISH AND GAME REFUGEES.
81. Johnsbury CaledonIan.

We would suggest to the fish and game
authorities that they try to get the
large State forests on Mt. Mansfield,
Worcester Mountain and Camels Hump
turned into fish and game refugees.
These tracts contain headwaters OF
many excellent trout streams and If
these could be closed it would give a
practical demonstration Of the value of
protecting the rearing ground of brook
trout. Each of these tracts is large
enough to give wild game an oppor-
tunity to propagate itself and a range
that would allow its full natural advan-
tages. 1t would seem worth real test
and would not interfere with the de-
velopment of the forests.

Our troops will enter Mexico to pun
ish Villa for his murderous attack on
Columbus, New Mexico, We shall be
lucky if we get out of the blood-stained
republic with no more serious result
than fighting against Villa and his
bandits. Mexico is a troublous country
and has not shown a capacity for self
government since Diaz was forced to
flee to foreign country after control
ling the people with an iron hand long
term of years, There are many keen
observers of events in this country who
believe that Mexico will never be
paciRed until the United States exer-
cises some sort of protectorate over its
affairs as it does in the case Of Cuba,

ALCOHOL AND PNEUMONIA.
Bellows Falls Times.

The United States Public Health
Service brands strong drink as the
most efficient ally of pneumonia. 1t
declares that alcohol ia the hand
maiden of the disease which produces
ten per cent of the deaths in the United
States. This is no exaggeration. We
have known for long time that in
diligence in alcoholic liquors lowers the
individual vitality, and that the man
who drinks is peculiarly susceptible to
pneumonia. The United States Public
Health Service is a conservative body.
1t does not engage in alarming propa-
ganda. In following out the line of its
official duties it has brought forcefully
to the general public fact which will
bear endless repetition. The liberal
and continuous user of alcoholic drinks
will do we'll to heed this warning, par =
ticularly at this season of the year
when the gruesome death toll from
pneumonia is being doubled.

1t was gratifying to see the turn
out of the townspeople at the annual in
spection of Company B the other even
ing. One of the great troubles with
militia outfits has been the lack of
interest on the part of the general pub

like to have their efforts and sacrifices
appreciated. This is only natural
And they are a deserving set of men.
If Company b were called out to-
morrow the men in the ranks would
become near.heroes in twinkling of

attention before time of crisis And
incidentally, those citizens who did

CAMPBELL POINTS THE WAY,
Rutland News,

A Westminster West farmer has rea-
son for thinking that there is more
money in raising skeep than milk in
Vermont. He forwarded to Boston some
hot house lambs and they brought a
little over forty-fye cents pound In
that market 1t Is sample of what
doubtless may be done by farmers
throughout Vermont, The farmer in
question, Fred G, Campbell, has had a
great deal of experience, and his opinion
is of value. A graduate of the Mas
sachusetts Agricultural College, the
owner of the largest farm in this vicin-
ity, he knows all about the business of
shipping milk to Boston, an industry In
which most Vermont farmers are inter-
ested, and he is an authority on sheep,
having been brought up by one of the
most prominent Merino sheep breeders
of the State, his father who was widely
Travelled and who exhibited prize.win-
ming sheep at State, national and inter
national exhibitions. Mr., Campbell
points the way, and probably other
farmers of Vermont will follow in this
profitable enterprise of fancy lambs al
fancy prices,

DRUG SALE PREVENTION LAW
Rutland News.

Rutland News.
The outcome of the Investigations
of the federal officers in the recent
sales in Rutland and other Vermont
towns of morphine, cocaine and other
drugs to out Of the State addicts will
be watched with interest, to say the
least. II cannot be believed that the
act Of 1915, covering the sale of narcotic
drugs, contemplated that it would be
possible for a physician to prescribe
drugs in the quantities that would enable
an addict to secure a large stock Of
them, sufficient for many weeks Of per-
sonal use or for traffic in the same,
providing that was designed. If this is
permissible under the law, the law is
deficient.
There is no question but what
physicians and druggists are up against
a very serious proposition in furnishing
aged, confirmed habituals with the
drugs necessary to keep them alive or
ward off insanity. But it would seem
as if reasonable construction of the
statute would require physician to
prescribe only for patients with whom
he was personally and professionally
acquainted so that he would not become
party to the traffic in narcotics that
the State federal laws are designed to
suppress.
1t is doubtless conceded that the
object of these statutes is to prevent
insofar as possible the formation of
drug habits by those not now addicted
to them, and to diminish the doses adj
ministered to confirmed habituals.

MEN ASK PRESIDENT
TO ALTER PROPOSAL
Brotherhood Representatives
Want Him to Fix Method to
Prevent Excessive Overtime

President Wilson today was asked by
heads Of the railway brotherhoods to
modify the proposal submitted yester-
day to the $40 members of the general
committee. as basis for settlement OF
the dispute with the railroads.
The request was made through Judge
w. l.. Chambers. Of the Federal Media
ton Board.
1t is understood to suggest that the
President nx some method whereby
there could be no excessive overtime un-
der the elght-hour day scheme.
Many OF the employees speakers urged
that while Wilson's proposition was lib
eral. the brotherhoods ought to hold out
for the principle of their original de-
mands-the eight-hour day with ten
hours pay. and time and a half over
time.
The main argument was that IL the
men accepted the present proposal. the
managers could reply that the demands
had In reality been only for moro money.
and not for any principles. At 1880,
delegates leaving the, employees meeting.
said II would probably be an hour he-
fore result Of the balloting could be an
nounced.
The leaders found. however, shortly
afterward that they could not complete
the balloting and counting In so short a
time and adjourned for lunch until $50.
