That there is good salmon pack this year is no reason for taking intelligent steps for the protec tion and propagation of salmon-and by Intelligent steps, is meant the of drastic laws that will be of depreciang vested interests and driving two-thrds the canneries of the Territory business. The supply of salmon can be protected and by the closed period system and by mak ing the period sufficient duration to permit salmon in large numbers to enter and ascend the var neriods to vary as to times when enforced to include spawning in all of the many districts of the Territory of which, it is said by those familiar with conditions, there a variance of several weeks.
 The new member of the Territorial fish commission former Senator J. R. Hickman of ketchikan, is prob ablv the best posted man Alaska the habits of salmon and knows more about what should be done to conserve the supply in Alaskan waters than all the theorists of the bureau of fisheries combined Heckman is just long practical knowledge as Wash1 ngton "experts" theoretical knowledge which is mostly bunk-and if in the discharge of his new official duties and his fellow members of the Territorial make recommendations to the powers that be Washington and those recommendations are acted on Alaska will get the class of fish legislation that will keep her supply fish it's present status for all time to and at the same time enable her to supply the world with her fish products.

on the proposition that those who violated the law are not automatically relieved of respon- sibility for their offenses merely because a war is no longer being prosecuted. The pas sage of time will have a definite effect on individual cases, bringing them within the purview of pardon, parole or communication provisions of the law. But that is one aspect of the situation The mistaken theory that these violators of wartime laws in any sense "political'' prisoners, subject to Gam nesty' leniency such as is exercised abroad and excerised in this country at various times, is quite another matter.
 Mauclin snntimentality exerted in favor of these "persecuted'' felons serving sentences duly imposed pursuant to the explicit pro visions of urgently needed laws, will not ex- cite the sympathy of patriotic Americans. It is not reducing the president to tears of pity. d-blooded Americans will applaud his dec laration that he will never pardon man or| woman convicted of advocating the destruc ton of government by force. Blanket amnesty for wartime convicts is thus effectively block ed and the presidents vigorous Americanism is once more displayed

PRESIDENTS AMNESTY POLICY
 COMMANDED

There will be general qualification over the emphatic declaration of President Harding that he will "never pardon any criminal who guilty of preaching the distraction of government by force''
 The president adheres firmly to his prev viouslv announced policy of acting upon each individual case as presented to him. considered on it's merits. His decisions in such cases as the pardon of Debs are not to be construed as any indication of his intention to ''grant amnesty' to wartime convicts merely be cause the war has been over for more than three years and half.
 A great many people have the who]ly.er roneous opinion that the ending of the war automatically expirates offenses committed while the war was in progress. It may be con- ceded that the incidental ending of the war has produced conditions which nullify the sub jection of aliens of wartime scrutiny or which operate against prospective offenders against the wartime measures.
 But the president has taken his stand firmly

PAVING WORK TO START MONDAY
SeIectmen Award Vernon Street Con-
tract for differentiation i'm Bids
Was About $1,000

Beginning next Monday the New
Hampshire Cement Construction Co. will
begin laying Il cement concrete pavement
on Vernon street. The Brattleboro Sc
lectmen Tuesday afternoon awarded this
company the contract, its bid being the
lowest of three received for the work.
The contract price is 7,41G, which is
about $500 less than bid made by Will
liam Cushman of Brattleboro and about
1000 less than a bid by the Hassam
| Paving Co. of Dorchester, Mass, which
| is paving the Central Vermont freight
house yard between Vernon street and
the railroad
The New Hampshire Cement Construc-
ton Co. is the company which strength
ened the east abutment of the Brattle-
orO-Chesterheld suspension bridge. 1t
/ will lay a cement concrete surface seven
| inches thick. built by Il patented process.
About 5000 yards OF paving will be
laids beginning at Bridge street and eX-
| tending as far south as the railroad paw
| ing. and the contractor agrees to com
plete the work in 80 working days. 1t
| will be necessary to remove about 600
cubic yards of earth in order TO give the
| proper grade when the work is finished.
The selectmen hope that conditions will
| be such that it will not be necessary to
close the street. and the work will be
carried on with that end in view, but it
may be found necessary to detour for Il
brief time.
1t is understood that the parking place
| i'm front of the union passenger station
| will not be paved ut this time. although
it would be an advantage to the 'public
| to have il done.

LOOKS LIKE HARD
WINTER AHEAD
Yesterday Morning Coolest in
October Since 1914
Snowflakes in Air at BrattlebOro
Wednesday AfternoOn-Ground Gray
in Wilmington and Dover.

Are we in for good, old-fashioned
New England winter this year? That
is one of the questions that is paramount
in the minds of nearly everyone. par
ticularly those whose cOalbins are empty
and whose woodpiles are small. The
early risers yesterday morning probably
felt convinced that this winter is to be
one of the old. dycd-in-the-wool rock
ribbed brand for at that morning the
thermometer registered only 20 degrees
above zero. This is the coolest morning
we have had this month and we have to
look back as far as 1914 TO find an De-
tober morning that was colder and in
October of that year, we had one morn
ing when the mercury went down to 10
degrees. These are the figures recorded
at the home of Ferris r. Vaughan at 40
High street
The high wind from the north Wednes-
day and early that evening not only
brought down a lot of leaves from the
| trees. but it presaged the cold spell and
killing frost of next morning. Water
that had been left in pals outside
houses Wednesday was found frozen sol
| idly in the morning and the surface Of
the reservoir ON hestnut hill boosted Il
thin mantle of ice.
There were also few instances where
! automobiles stood out in back yards all
night and the owners found little trou-
! bic with the circulation of the water in
the radiators.
| Tiny snowllales in the air were noted
| in Brattleboro late Wednesday afternoon,
while in Wilmington Dover and some
| other hill towns there was snowfall
sufficient to make the ground gray and
to gather on automobile windshiclds.
! If the temperature yesterday is an
indication of what may be expected
from now on then we are in for Il stiff
winter and an early one at that. Re
calling the fact that the last two win
tiers have been comparatively mild. many
people are of the opinion that we are
due to have a long. cold winter season
this year, with plenty of ice for skating
and lots of snow for snow-shoeing and
skiing Again, some weather prognos-
ticators are Of the opinion that old King

predecessors. However, by the rate al
which people are getting in their stock
