AN ACT OF VANDALISM
Berkshire Railroad Waiting Rooms
Damaged by Hoodlums.

Two Of the waiting rooms on the
Bennington and North Adams branch
of the Berkshire system Of street
railways have been misused presum-
ably by young hoodlums In the room
at the Godfrey crossing the window
and sash have both been shattered
probably with a club. The windows
at the Jackson crossing were not
quite so badly treated but the glass
was knocked out and other acts of
vandalism committed.
The Berkshire railway people have
been to considerable expense to pro
vide accommodation for the travel
ing people along the line of their
property in this state and naturally
they feel that the treatment of the
waiting room does not show a large
amount OF appreciation.
Superintendent Neary is making an
investigation of the outrages and Il
the guilty parties can be apprehendet
they are likely to get all the punish
ment that the laws of the state o.

THE ACCIDENT RECORD
Between 10000 and $4,000 Working
men Killed Last Year.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Between 3d.
600 and $4,000 deaths and 100000 in
iured is the accident record in the
United States for the last year among
working men, according to a bulletin
on accidents issued by the bureau Of
labor.
OF those employed in factories and
workshops it is stated that probably
the most exposed class are the work
ers Of iron and steel Fatal accidents
among electricians and electric line
men and coal miners are declared to
be excessive while railway tralnmen
were killed in the proportion Of 746
deaths to a thousand employees
The bulletin declares that much that
could be done for the protection of the
working men is neglected, although
many and farreaching Improvements
have been introduced in factory prac-

Sportsmen in this vicinity will note
with pleasure the re-appointment of
County Game Warden Harry Chase
The Banner does not hesitate to ex-
press the view that Warden Chase is
the best official under the fish and
game department in the state. He is
not only a conscientious advocate Of
the protection OF fish and game but
he has worked-$2rder, in the opinion
Of the Banner, thar any other warden
to carry out the laws Fishermen,
particularly, concede that much of the
Improvement in the trout streams Of
the county is due to the persistent en-
forcement by Chase of the six-inch
law. The convictions that he has Sc
cured of violations of this particular
statute have not only driven the
poachers off the streams but they
have created a respect for the law by
the large majority Of fishermen. Prev
ious to Warden Chase's first appoint.
ment the six-inch law was dead let
ter in this county and good sized
trout were rare but during the last
few years conditions have so i'm
proved that legal fish can now be
taken in waters where there we're for
merly none at all. Not a little of this
change for the better is also due to
the wardens assistance in stocking
the streams. He has made frequent
applications for stock fish and has
personally seen to it that the young
trout were properly planted With
the changes that are being enacted in
the laws by the present legislature
providing further and stricter protec.

to give the fishermen of the county
better sport during the next and. It

resenting the Chiffon paints, appear
ed before the Senate committee Mon
day night in opposition to certain
features OF the so called paint bill
He did not oppose the bill as a
whole, but confined his objections to
the formula and the clause stating
when the bill should take effect.
He declared it would be a physical
mpossibility to go through their
stock, relabel the cans, sorting them
all over, fiji orders, and hundred
and one other things between now
and February and it would be a
hardship on the manufacturers out
side the state to require them to do
this, and conform with the law. He
believed they should have at least
six months. He objected to disclos-
ing trade secrets by putting their
formulas on the cans. and thought
there might be some way to get
around this. He fell in at once with
the inquiry Of Senator Walker OF
Rutland if it would be satisfactory to
him to deposit his formula with the
state chemist, who should determine
the character Of the paint and state
whether it conformed with the Yer
mont standard He thought that if
the suggestion came out earlier it
would have been gladly adopted by
the paint men. He said he was stag
gered when he learned that the bill
would take effect February l, except
as to paints on hand which dealers
would be allowed to dispose of as
soon as may be.

TWO COURSES BEFORE TAFT
There are strong arguments
against your taking this Justice
ship. In the first place, my be-
lief is that of all men who have
appeared so far you are the man
who is most likely to receive the
republican nomination, and who
is, | think, the best man to re-
ceive it. 1t is not light thing
to cast aside the chance of the
presidency, even though, of
course, it is I chance however a
good one. President Roosevelt
to Secretary Taft, March 10,
1906.
DECLINES THE BENCH.
please do not misunderstood
me to think that | am indispens-
able or that the world could not
run on much the same if | were
to disappear in the st. Lawrence
river. But circumstances seem
to me to have imposed something
in the nature of a trust to me
personally that l should not dis
charge by now succeeding Justice
Brown. In the nature of things
the trust must end with this
administration, and one or two
years is short to do much. Yet
the next session of Congress may
result in much for the benefit OF
the Filipino, and it seems to me
it is my duty to be in the fight"
Secretary Taft to President
Roosevelt, July 80, 1906.

THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.
"THE WHITE HOUSE,

Dear Will: / think l have been in
error as to your feeling, You say that
it is your decided preference to CONT
nue. your present work. This l had
not understood. On the contrary,
gathered that what you really wanted
to do was to go on the bench, and that
my urging was in the line of your in
clination, but in a matter in which you
were in doubt as to your duty.
my dear VIII, it is prominently
a matter in which no other man can
take the responsibility of deciding for
you what is best FOR you to do No
body could decide for me whether
should go to the war or stay as as
sistant secretary of the navy. Nobody
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-11-04

: could decide for me whether l should
accept the vice presidency or try to
continue as governor. In each case it
is the man himself who is to lead his
life after having decided one way or
the other. No one can lead that life
for him, and neither he nor any one
else can afford to have any one else
make the decision for him, because the
vital factor in the decision must be an
equation of the man himself.
so far as | am personally concern
ed, l could not put myself in your
place, because l am not a lawyer and
would under no circumstances, even if
had been trained for lawyer, have
any leaning toward the bench; so in
your case I should as a matter OF
course, accept the three years of SER
vice in the War Department, dealing
with the Panama and Philippine ques-
tons and then abide the event as to
whether I became President or CONT
nued in public life in some less con-
spicuous position or went back to the
practice of law.
DOESN'T LIKE SOCIAL CONDI-
TIONS.
But | appreciate, as every thought
full man must, the Importance of the
part to be played by the Supreme
Court in the next twenty-five years. l
don't at all like the social conditions
at present. The dull, purblind folly OF
inh
gance, and the way in which they have
unduly prospered by the help of the
ablest lawyers, and too often through
the weakness and shortsightedness or
the judges, or by their unfortunate
possession of metlculous minds; these
facts and the corruption in business
and politics have tended to produce a
very unhealthy condition of excite
ment and irritation in the popular
mind, which shows itself in part in
the enormous increase in the socialis-
tic propaganda.
Nothing effective, because nothing
at once honest and intelligent, is be-
ing done to combat the great amount
of evil which, mixed with little good,
a little truth, is contained in the out
/ pouTings of -, -, -, -, -,

omitted by request).
LEADER AGAINST SOCIALISTS.
Some of these socialists; some OF
them merely lurid sensationalists; but
they are all building up a revolutionary
feeling, which will most probably take
the form of a political campaign. Then
We may have to do, too late, or almost
too late what had to be done in the
silver campaign, when in one summer
we had to convince a great many good
people that what they had been labor
iously taught for several years was I'M
| true.
Under such circumstances you
would be the best possible leader, and
with your leadership we could rest
assured that only good methods would

NEW YORK, October 16.-Letters
between President Roosevelt and Sec

bench of the Supreme Court of the

prevail. In sucd a contest you could
do very much if you were on the bench;
you could do very much if you were
in active political life outside. | think
you could do most as President, but
you could do very much as chief JUS
tice, and you could do less, but still
very much, as associate justice. Where
you can fight best l cannot say, for
you know what your soul returns to
better than | can.
"As | see the situation, it is this:
There are strong arguments against
your taking this justiceship. In the
first place, my belief is that of all the
men who have appeared so far you are
the man who is most likely to receive
the republican nomination, and who
is, | think, the best man to receive it.
1t is not a light thing to cast aside
the chance Of the presidency, even

be warped and you would become bit
ter and sour, as Henry Clay became;
and, thank heaven, this is impossible.
But it is well to remember that the
shadow of the presidency falls on no
man twice, save in most exceptional
circumstances.
HARD CHOICE TO MAKE.
Nov, my dear VIII, there is the sit
uation as | see it. 1t is a hard choice
to make, and you yourself have to
make it. You have two alternatives
before YOU each with uncertain posi-
bilities, and you cannot be sure that
whichever you take you will not after
ward think that it would have been
better if you had taken the other. But
whichever you take, | know that you
will render great and durable service
to the nation for many years to come,
and / feel that you should decide in
accordance with the promptings OF
your own liking, of your own belief,
as to where you can render the service
which most appeals to you, as well as
that which you feel is most beneficial
to the nation. None can with wisdom
advise you. Sincerely, yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Secretary Taft took a long time to
consider the matter, says the maya
zine. At intervals there was further
discussion of it with President Roose-
welt, and occasionally the subject was
mentioned in the correspondence that
went on continually between the two
men. Finally Mr.. Taft wrote:

RENO IS BANKRUPT
NEvADA's MINING CENTER
is IN SORE STRAITS
Threatened With Deficit Of 100000
and Income VIII Not Meet Ex-
penses-Cost of Conducting the
City Is Close TO $4,000 Per
Month-Mayor Is Not Worried Over
the Outlook.

That a good town may become IL
nancially embarrassed II not careful
ly managed, is shown by the fate OF
Reno. Nevada, which It is declared Is
in a most serious condition. A press
dispatch says of the fate Of Reno:
Reno has been dashed upon the
ragged rocks of bankruptcy.
Whether or not there are any fren-
zied finance methods involved is not
known, but it is true that the treas
ury of the mining center Is empty, and
that the property owners of the city
are confronted with the unwelcome
news that they are threatened with
a deficit Of 100000. This disclosure
was made by some interested taxpay-
ers who got busy and made an inves-
tigation.
Reno has an income amounting to
more than $500 per month for taxes
alone. In spite of this the city awoke
today to find itself bankrupt. But
the mayor says he is not going to
burn any candles to do any figuring,
and Councilman Kinney, who has aid
ed in the work of passing upon the
bills, is not wearing a troubled look.
In fact, no explanation seems to be
forthcoming. 1t was shown by the
investigation that the cost Of con-
ducting the affairs Of the city has
cost close to $4,000 for each 80 days
and that the council has no system Of
checking bills.
