Charles r. Taft Accepts Foraker'a
 Challenge For Absent Brother.
 CINCINNATI, April 1.-Charles P. Taft has accepted for his brother, the secretary of war, the challenge sent by Senator Foraker. and the fight is now on in Ohio. Mir. Taft says in his formal acceptance of the senator's de. fiance that "this is direct contest be- tween the friends of the administra- tion of President Roosevelt and his op- ponents," and the sooner 1t is submit ted to the people the better
 The reply to Foraker says in part:
 Senator Foraker's statement indi. cates that he is running for the presi- dency and for the senatorship. The friends of Secretary Taft are urging him for the presidency. As the sen ator has included the two offices in this primary contest. Secretary Tafts friends accept the proposition and will make it a distinct contest-Taft for the presidency or senatorship or For aker for the presidency or senator ship.
 If the Republicans of Ohio. by their votes at the primaries, indicate that they prefer Foraker for the presi- dency or senatorship. Secretary Taft is eliminated from the political situa. ton. If the people of Ohio dicate Secretary Taft for the presidency or senatorship, Senator Foraker is elim- inated from the political situation in Ohio." W B3f

Terrorist Plot 90 KIN Nicholas I'm
enrthed at ~. Petersburg.

Terrorist Plot "a KIN Nicholas Un-
enrthed at 81. Petersburg.
ST. PETERSBURG. May lG.--A ter
rorlst conspiracy directed against the
life OF Emperor Nicholas, the existence
OF which has been suspected for some
time past, was revealed last night by
the arrest at Tsarskoe-Selo OF sol
der OF the guard regiment, who con-
fessed 20 the acceptance OF large
money brlbe TO assist In the murder OF
his majesty.
According TO the details OF this plot.
the existence Of which has been con.
firmed by one OF the highest officials
OF the court, suspicion was directed 10
the soldier by the fact that he was
seen to have I'm his possession consid.
cradle sums OF money. The man was
at once placed under observation.
When he noticed that he was being
Swallowed he became panic stricken
aud sought the authorities. He then
broke down and voluntarily made his
confession, after which he begged for
protection.
All the threads OF this conspiracy.
which Is radically different from for
mer attempts OF this nature. are not
yet In the hands OF the secret service
men. A few underllngs have been ap-
pretended. but the real instlgators OF
the crime and the men who furnished
the blood money have not yet been
captured.
IL Is thought that the money used L.
part OF the proceeds Of several polltl-
cal robberies committed during last
fall and winter. Many OF the PARTED
pants In these 10 called 'cxproprla.
lions" have been arrested aud exc.
cuted. but the loot was never located.
The police officials maintain mys.
FERROUS silence. but In revolutionary
circles II II declared that the men ap.
pretended are members OF the fighting
bands Of the rcvolutionists which the
police here succeeded IN breaking up.
but that the authors OF the present con.
splracy must be sought outside Of ST.

Shall We Keep II Up7

bennington has good reason to be
proud OF the new Y. M. y. A. build
Ing which was dedicated Tuesday even
Ing. Not SO much on Its value as
public institution, much as we may
hope from il, but as an outgrowth Of
the public spirit OF the community.
That Bennington has In the past lack
ed In public spirit is proved by the alb
sence Of public buildings aud public
privileges which other Vermont towns
OF equal or less population enjoy and
add TO from time to time.
But the Banner honestly believes
that there has come change for the
better. We feel sure that we can de.
tect distinct improvement during the
past Eve years. There have been seq
eral instances which have been really
notable like the building OF the new
Y. NJ. @. A. but other indications
more subtle though none the less sig
nifcant may be seen by the careful oh.
server.
Public effort is no longer decried as
striving after factional advantage, DO.
litical effect or personal notoriet, (;
never before have there been such cor.
dial relations between the different
churches and societies as OF late; II Is
no longer possible Tor. loud mopthed
shouter TO get out among the citizens
and make any considerable impression.
The voters have been tuncoed once or
twice into accepting cotton for velvet
and are now thinking for themselves,
as Is shown In the recent local elec.
lions by the practical disappearance
OF party lines. We are dem ,nding
more OF our public servants and are
coming 10 see that we can get 10 II we
insist and keep on insisting.
We are not 10 think, however, that
we have attained TO the highest and
most desirable standard for we are far
from IL. la the matter Of public spirit
Bennington Is far behind brattleboro.
Barre, st Johnsbury. and score OF
other Vermont towns, but we are gain.
ing. The trend Is for the better and rs
citizens we should see that the tenden-
cy continues upward.
Don't whine about past failures.
Don't distrust the motives OF every
man because he doesn't belong 10 your
church or lodge. Don't fail 70 stand
for your own town aud 10 back up
every desirable effort whether IL ls
fathered by Baptist. Catholic, jew
or Atheist Ifyou eaat AISLE, 10 with
money, give u good word. Pay yol r
taxes chcerfully and always remember
that what we do for ourselves Is ll,t .
selfish Interest, soon 10 be swallowed
up In the mlsts OF the Great Be
yond. while what We do for the commu
nifty Is for the public good, for OUT
children and our chlljren's children,
and may have an influence ever grown e

through the ages for q million years.
