In appointing Linus Leayens of
Cambridge state commissioner OF
game and fisheries Governor Graham
has picked high grade man Of first
class executive and administrative
ability who knows only com parative-
ly little about fish and game, After
hearing a great deal of argument on
the subject Governor Graham decided
that what was needed was man of
breadth and executive ability who
could run the department, rather than
a fish culturist, lawyer or warden.
He appointed Senator Leavens with
the knowledge that he doesn't know
much about fish and game but that
he is a good organizer and an earnest
and thorough man in whatever he un.
dertakes. An arrangement has al
ready been made to employ one of
the best fish culturists In New Eng
land who will give part of his time to
looking after the Vermont hatchery
and rearing stations. The Banner be-
lieves that the governor has made a
good appointment and that the fisher.
men and hunters OF the state will
realize it when they come to know
Commissioner Leavens. While Ben.
nington county sportsmen would have
liked TO have had the appointment
made from this county they are anx-
ious chiefly for the good of the de
partment and stand ready to cooper
ate with the new commissioner in
every way possible to advance the in
terests of fish and game. Bennington
county sportsmen are not cutters.

The use of fuel oil in the navy is

there is much TO be said in favor Of oil.

The United States navy has two oil

Maumec, each Of them capable of max

does away with much of the labor and

ever, is not yet satisfactorily settled.

Brevity OF a Dream.

One evening Victor Hugo was dictat-
Ing letters to his secretary. Overcome
by fatigue, the great man dropped into
d slurnber. A few moments afterward he
awoke. haunted by dream which. as
be thought, had extended over several
hours, and he blamed his secretary for
sitting there waiting for him instead
Of Weakening him or else going away.
What was his surprise when the be.
wildered secretary told. him that he
had only just finished writing the last
sentence dictated to him and that Hugo
could have been doing only for few
seconds.

Judge Taylor will be criticised
somewhat generally for attempting to
influence the state senate in secret
session. Whatever his argument or
his statement may have been, and
however innocent his intent the per-
Torrance looks like taking advantage
OF special privilege behind closed
doors The senate itself was rather
indiscreet, but is not to pc criticised
very severely. The senate merely
tried to be courteous to judge OF the
supreme court and did not pause IL
consider that the performance vas
rather discourteous to the governor
and the communication not privileged
under the rules of the senate. Judge
Taylor has been considered one of our
best judges and probably didn't say
word that was improper but he ought
to have said it out in the open and
not in hiding behind closed doors.
Judges, even of the highest court are
citizens like the rest@of ussard gain
rather than lose dignity and strength
by holding themselves SUBJECT to the
simple rules of the commonwealth
of Vermont prescribed for ordinary
people.

A Mountain Of Coal and a Sea of

THE USE OF OIL IS GROWING.

Eiguratively speaking the United
States navy consumes n mountain Of
coal and sea of oil every year. and
the full question might without levity
be called a burning one with the naval
officials ut all times
No navy in the world has given the
problem of coal supply. coal capacity
