MONDAY, SEPTEMBER, Is, 1919.
SAVE THE PARTRIDGES.

For many years past the fifteenth of
september has marked the opening of
the season for shooting partridges. one
of the best sports afforded Vermont
nlmrod. Today it is against the law
to shoot one of these birds and will be
Illegal until September Is. 1921. The
purpose of the law is generally known
to be the rehabilitation of this rare
game bird and every true sportsman in
the state will endorse the purpose. be-
cause all lovers of nature would grieve
over the extinction of the bird. Sports
men unanimously will observe the law
and should be a unit in demanding if,
observance by those who lack the eth
les of sportsman.
Complete cessation of shooting for
two years will give the few remaining
BIRDS chance to increase to some ex
tent but apparently this is not all thai
is needed The partridge is fast dis.

the loss of good pine cover are re
sponsible for the diminution of par
tridges. The growing up of the coun-
try to thick woods may be a detri,
ment to the reproduction of the par
fridge, because it tends to destroy OF
replace with heavier growths the bal,
anee of pines for cover, and of poplars
birches and wild apples for food which
in the past has been favorable to the
maintenance of the species.
The latter part of the above state
ment is not true of Vermont. On al.
most every hill there is a good second
growth of birches, some poplars and
thousands of apple trees planted by
the original settlers to furnish food
for cartridges The raid on young
spruce for Christmas and pulpwood
douDtless Is destroying the natural
cover for cartridges but these trees
grow so rapidly that proper cover for
the birds should exist.
Man has not learned how to control
any disease that may exist among par
tridges and that enemy cannot be cas-.
lily defeated. But Vermont has thou
sands of acres of second growth
lands that are the best adapted to par
fridge breeding and all Vermonters
should serupulously obey the new law
and see if it will not make this beauti
full, harmless, shy and gamy bird more
common. We hope the spring days may
bring back to all rural sections. the
harmonious and thrilling drumming
of the vigorous cock partridge.

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to bs
gathered at the season of the year when
theii natural juices and medicinal sub
stascf- 2 at their best.
H.I-st successful solvents are used
70 extract the medicinal properties from
these hers.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so suce .ssful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use oe

fishing attest to its virtue.

Let it Be a Finish Fight.
(St. Adams Messenger.)

Mayor Peters of Boston saws that
1t IS fight to the finish. The decent
citizenry of New England and the
rest OF the country hopes so, and prays
that the officials in Boston NAV keen
their nerve and never weaken what
ever the developments may be. If
there must be general strike. let it
come. Let martial law be declared. and
let the city pass under the control of
the military authorities. Somewhere.
sometime, and somehow, the fight has
got to be made. No better place in the
world than Boston, and certainly the
opportunity exists. The principle that
we are government of laws and not
OF men; that no minority no matter
how powerful, can usurp the reigns of
government-these two things must be
clerely established. If Boston sees this
thing through she will be performing a
great service to, the country. If She
fails, she will add to our troubles and
make the day when the show down does
come more terrible than it would be at
present. The Bay state in the past
has produced men equal to emergencies.
May she not disappoint the republic
IN tins day and generation!

GoMPERs AND THE POLICE.

Samuel Gompers, resident of another
state, assumes the right to interfere
with the government of the city of
Boston and the state of Massachusetts.
by appealing for the reinstatement of
the policemen who violated the regula-
lions under which they accepted ap-
pointment to their public office and
then deserted their posts because the le-
gally constituted authorities insisted
upon observance of the regulations of
the office. He has assumed a position
superior to the government and asks
the government to subordinate its law
to the policies of the American fedora
ton of labor. He has not asked the
government of Massachusetts to accept
the strikers on condition of observance

fance of them and under the rulinos
of the federation.
There is an ominous threat in his re-
mark, Il suppose he (the police com
missioner of BOSTON, is willing to as
sumo the consequences of his action. .
It is threat against municipal and
state government by a force without
legal authority to act.
The issue between the millions of law
abiding residents of Boston and an or
ganized minority of less than 1900 de-
serters is still open. But it will be set
tied only by asserting the superiority
OF the government of the majority over
any ungoverned minority.

what our characters are supposed to

And we have a bad one?" asked
Mr. Skunk.
Yes" said Mrs. Skunk, I'VE have"
What do they say about us?" asked
Mr.. Skunk.
They dislike US because of the
dreadful odor we have"
but do they add that it is our pro-
lection, and that we're very gentle
and nice otherwise?"
Some of them add that" said Mrs.
Skunk, but not ALL
THAT seems UNFAIR" said Mr.
Skunk.
we can't expect everything In life
to be fair, l suppose" said Mrs. Skunk.
NO, ! suppose We can't" agreed
Mr. Skunk.
But do they ever speak of our fur

after q few moments.
YES, they like to have our fur to
make it up into muffs and capes and
fur pieces ard hats"
For themSelves?' asked Mr.. Skunk.
Yes, for themselves" said Mrs.
Skunk.
Don't they admire 1t on US and say
they hope Well Away: keep it and
that they like to see us looking so
handsomeT'
No, they don't often say that"
Mrs. Skunk answered.
I'm sure If l saw beautiful little
girl in beautiful little dress l would
not say:
Hey, there; give me that dress.'
No, but you would doubtless be
frightened at seeing her and then you
would fill her dress with the oGor you
have for a protection and she would
have to throw away the dress"
But l wouldn't be taking it from
her." said Mr. Skunk.

Beaten BY Violence.
(Montpelier Argus.l

The minute that violence com
menced in Boston it was apparent that
the police strike was beaten. The strik-
ers are now asking for arbitration, aft
er seven deaths at least have been due
to the action of the police officers who
deserted their posts, but the time for
arbitration is now past. The power
of the state, the power of the federal
government and the power of public
sentiment will be the undoing of the
misguided Boston police officers, who
were unfaithful to their duty and their
oath of office.
