The Trout Fishing Law.
bennington Banner.)

An effort to close the trout fishing sea
son August l instead of August 81 is be-
fore the legislature this session and has
the support of Commissioner Leavens, ac-
cording to report. Such a change, we be-
lieve. would be a mistake. One trouble
of the fish and game issue in the Vermont
legislature is that many members look at
fishing, hunting and trapping as purely
diversion, instead of a very real state in
~terest, which has been badly managed
most of the time for the past 80 years.
There are around 10000 fishermen in the
state of VermOnt-mOre fishermen han
farmers-mOre fishermen than all the
granite, marble and slate workers to-
gether-more fishermen han all the fac
tory workers in the state-mOre fishermen
than all the tradesmen and shOpkeeperS
more fishermen than all the doctors,
lawyers, editors and preachers combined
and yet the fishermen allow their inter
eStS to be banded around and made a
joke of in the Vermont legislature by
members who mean well but just do not
realize the Importance of the issue. BY
all means close the trout fishing season
August l or even July 1. on the head
streams and smaller tributaries. but. just
as emphatically, leave it open on the riv-
erS, ponds and main streams until August
81 or even Sept. 10. Not only for the
pleasure and profit of our home people
but for the benefit of our summer guests
who get an immense mOu of joy and
gladness from a little late summer fishing,
it is unwise to close the whole trout fish
ing season so early as the first of August.
Another point, and the one of greatest
Importance to the fishermen of Vermont,
is the extension of fishing waters because
of the great increase in the number of
those who fish. Our ancestors, when Yer
mont was new, allowed our waters to be-
come depleted, polluted and, in many
cases, stocked with inferior fish until not
one quarter of our state water is produc-
ing more than a fraction of what it should.
The great issue before the fishermen of
Vermont is to bring these abused waters
back to capacity, just as Governor Hart
ness is trying to develop our industrial
and agricultural opportunity. 1t is not
50 difficult as it seems and the fishermen
would like the assistance of the legislature
in accomplishing the work. 1t need not
take a dollar extra in appropriation. but
it does need the carrying out of a definite
plan over a period of years.

Monitor: NO other 10000 square miles

The emphatic protest joined in by
President Wilson, Cardinal O'COnnell of
Boston and many other leaders of Amer
lean thought, against the current cam
paign of anti emitism," should have
its effect. cooling some of the hot heads
and re-cStablishing the American prin-
ciple of fair play.
Racial prejudice has always played
too large a part in a country where it
most emphaticauy does not belong, Now
resentment flames out against one race.
now another. Often there is some imme-
diate cause for criticising the particular
contingent aimed at, but seldom is the
offense at all proportional to the abuse
and persecution visited upon the alleged
offenders while the movement lasts.
In this case it is difficult to see ex-
actly how or why the Jews have become
targets of such violent criticisms. So
far as there is anything tangible in the
hostile propaganda, it appears to be
based on the alleged discovery, made by
Henry Ford and a few other well-mean-
ing but mistaken citizens. that the He
brew race is engaged in a great con
spiracy'' to rule the world.
Anyone who thinks the matter over
calmly and dispassionately is likely to
conclude that if any race numerically
50 small as the Jews is able to dominate
any nation, not to mention the whole
world, it deserves the job. Nothing but
vastly superior ability would enable so
small a minority to wrest control from
so great a majority.
Anyone who really knows the Jewish
people, however. will smile at the idea
of such a purpose on their part. Jews
are human beings only a little different
from other people. They like to get
ahead in the world, like other races.
There is no race more generous and
charitable. They happen to be a little
more energetic and ~perscvering than
most of the other races, and rave aftcn
been prosecuted for that. But this is
no time. and this country is no place,
for such persecution.

A Mistaken Charge.
denomination Ranncr-l

Some of the upstate papers are max
ing the mistaken charge that Bcnuing-
ton county fishermen are proponents of
the plan to end the trout fishing season
Aug. l. Undoubtedly there a few here
but by far the largest number support
the present open season as the best that
can be arranged to suit the various de-
mandS. Bennington county Is 50 much
interested in the summer visitor business
that this county ought to be the most
emphatic in the state in favor of August
hshIng. Under the state constitution it
Is impossible to close many of the small
streams permanently as probably ought
to be done but it may be possible to make
a shorter season for these streams by
opening them later or closing earlier OF
both and we doubt if there would be
any serious opposition to the plan. With
the increasing number of fishermen all
those who fish ought to take an active
interest in maintaining the fishing. BY
applying common sense methods and
moderation there can be enough good
fishing in Vermont for VermonterS and
visitors but this desired condition con-
not be brouht about by the old wasteful
and careless methods.

Donald Il. Macmillan, who plans to
lead another scientific expedition to the
Arctic region. has had much experience
as an explorer of the little known re-
gions of the Far North. In 1908 he was
admitted to a party led northward by
Peary, who later was to discover the
North Pole. In 1910 he was one
of the staff on the Cabot expedi-
ton that explored Labridor. In
1913, with the backing of the
American Museum of Natural His
tory, he led a party of scientists on an
expedition hat spent four years in the
Arctic region and brought back much
spoil of highest value to naturalists. Mr..
Macmillan is n native of provincetown
Mass. There he first got a love of the
sea and of exploration which has never
ceased to lure him on TO adventure. He
received his education at Bowdoin col
lcge andk at Harvard university and for

teacher.

BACK TO THE FARMS IN MAINE.

From the Maine department of agri-
culture comes the statement that people
from many other states arc buying farms
in Maine. The movement is small as yet.
but appears to be rather significant. Ac-
cording to a deputy commissioner of ag-
ricuIture there arc fewer unoecupied
farms in Maine now than a year ago.
\ good deal of land on occupied farms
remains idle because of lack of labor,
but with the renewed interest in farm
ing that condition is likely not to last
much longer.
1t is said that this movement is due
to the high prices of western farm lands,
or rather to the lower prices of the east,
together with their nearness to markets.
1t would be interesting to know what
percentage of the purchasers of farms
in the New England states nave left
farms in other sections, and what por-
tions of them come from cities. 1t is
just possible that a slight swing back
to the country has begun and that the
ratio of the urban population to the ru-
raj indicated in the 1920 census figures
will slowly turn toward a more equal
distribution.
1t is good to nave unoccupied farms in
any section taken up and production on
them resumed. 1t viii be better when
the idle acres are again titled. Better
labor conditions, better transportation
and marketing facilities are necessary,
however, before such a desirable condi-
ton can be restored.
