SAYS LEAvENS TALKS SENSE
"Troeladye" Of Newport Newspaper
Approves Game Commits Views

Approves Game Commits Views
The views of State Fish and Game
Commissioner Linus Leavens of Cam
bridge appeal to us. He talks com
mon sense. There have been prosecu-
tons in this state over slight infrac-
tons of the fish and game laws that
have made men enew;o5 to these laws
who really were IN sympathy with
them. We once criticised a case of
this kind
rise and fall in water left three
or four large trout stranded in pool.
1t was at time when it was lawful to
catch trout. A small boy found and
scooped them out with his hands. He
carried them to his father. The faith
er, proud of the catch, and with no
more thought of lawbreaking than of
being hung, showed them to his neigh
bors, and had the boy and trout pho.
tographed. What was the result?
An over-zealous warden fined the
father because the little boy did not
catch those trout with hook Had
hook, as they probably would have
done, he would have been all right.
The whole thing was absurd. Why!
Because there was no intention on the
part of the boy or father to violate a
law
Then there was a prosecution in
case where man killed skunk
hanging around his barn. Who
wouldn't kill skunk hanging around
his premises-unless he was afraid of
the stink. A skunk does not hang
around a barn for fun. There is
selfish intent in the act-a business
intent, we might call it, Poultry be-
ing the intent, it might be case of
generalization on the part of the
skunk, as they would say in law. Pros
ecuting a man for killing skunk with
such a generalization at heart-simply
because the law protects the fur to be
sold and fraudulently made over into
beautiful Russian wolf or fox-is to
make a man despise the law that up
holds a skunk. There are lot of
cases like this-cases that are carried
too fa..
Fish and game laws are not made
to be tyrannical; they are to protect
fish and game against lawless men.
Men who purposely make hogs of
themselves, and out of greed for gain
deplete the fish and game. But for
such men we would not want or need
such laws. Foolish arguments have
also arisen over holding the line in
the hand when you fish Who should |
care, if the law allows two lines, |
whether they are held in the hand. at |
the end of a stick, or on a point of |
shore provided the fisherman is |
around to tend them. It should be for |
the warden to study the intent of the |
fisherman, whether he is a poacher or |
not, or whether he intends to poach. |
rather than to see how one holds a |
line or pulls a fish out of the drink.
1t is the same with short length |
trout. All who fish for trout, even with |
honest intent. will catch and kill one |

Selectmen j. Oliver Burt and

forenoon today attaching their sigma
lures to the bonds with which the
town is refunding the indebtedness in
Cured in the building of the old Leb-
anon Springs railroad. There were 80
bonds to be signed, 80 for slO0odeach
and two for $500 While their mines
were being signed to the certificates
the selectmen and others who happen
ed to be in the room recalled some Of
the incidents connected with the bond
ing of the town and the failure of the
community to lift the debt as should
have been done years ago. 1t was re-
called that an offer of 80 cents on the
dollar had once been offered for the
bonds and the Indebtedness had been
largely increased by litigation For
years, it was stated, it was the custom
of the totwn meeting to refuse to pay
the interest on the bonds and the &C
emulation of course has come down
for the present generation to pay.

THREE CHARACTERS.
The three characters which stand out with
boldness in this passage Jesus, Judas and
Peter. Jesus exhibits supreme love and 10y
atty for His friends. He willing to driEE
the cup of SIN if that the only way %
save US; and when His friends in danger
He stepped out in front in order TO bring the
blow all upon HIMSELF. and have them go free.
He is just tine same today, just willing TO
suffer anything for and 10 shield from
any hahn taking all the danger Himself and
letting US 20 free. II are His friends.
The perfidy of Judas is seen. The English
language-nO, any other language even
can express fully the feelings of contempt, If
humiliation and shame which have when
we think that a could stoop so low Ju-
das did. The name OF Benedict Arnold makes
us shudder With contempt, but his crime of
treason does not compare with that of Judas,
for while he betrayed his country, Judas
trayed his Friend. But let not be too hard
on Judas, for possible in some less conspicuous
way We nave been guilty Of the same Grim.
Have Just as true to Christ as &c
ought to be on all occasions?
Peter stands out in all of his impuisivensss.
Impulse is a good quality if II has balance
wheel. Peter lacked the balance wheel until
after Pentecost. If you impulsive, do not
quench the impulse, but let the Holy Spirit
guard you and guide you in IT, that you
be the power that Peter was after the Holy
Spirit had come into his heart
