THIS WEEKS NEWS
Many Interesting Happenings are
Soon to Take Place.

BOON 10 ! axe Piace.
New York. Aug. 29.-Marking the
end of summer and the beginning of
fall, the period when the dullness of
waning season is being succeeded
by the harvesting of crops and prac-
teal starting of a new business year,
the week just opening promises to be
full of news interest in many other
ways. Developments in the magni-
ficent home at Arden, ~ Y. of Ed
ward II. Hartman doubtless will
command first position in the news.
A definite statement from Mr.. Taft
of his wishes regarding amendments
to the interstate commerce and anti
trust laws will be presented on Mon
day in New York by Attorney General
Wickersham to the commission de-
signated by the President to frame
them. Based upon the report of these
advisers, this is expected by the
President to be one of the main fea-
lures of his message TO Congress in
the fall.
Another conference of high govern
ment officials will be held ON Monday
in Washington, where Postmaster
General Hitchcock has summoned a
score or more of registry officials of
the highest experience to consider
some of his plans for greater economy
and higher efficiency In his depart
ment. The increase of the registry
fee from eight to ten cents, which
recently was proposed will be de
bated.

The public hearings in this investi-
CATION ended on Saturday and the de-

tons of foreign business men that has

The News is one of the newspapers
that expressed the belief during the
campaign for local option that its sue
cess would mean the shrinkage of
savings bank deposits. or at least
that there would be no further gains
for some time. The News thought it
had good grounds for its conclusions,
but it is willing to acknowledge that
conditions have worked out different
" than was expected In fact, with
out trying to hide behind the state
ment that deposits have increased in
spite of the law, the News frankly ac-
knowledges that it was Mistaken
Mortified News.
Another tail to the prohibition kite
during the local option campaign of
1908 was the cry that license-local
option law would mean tremendous
Increase in the lumber of paupers
and corresponding great increase of
cost in supporting the poor. In Ben
nington at least this theory has been
exploded along with the other. Ben
Rington is the only large town in the
state that mas voted license every
year and not only has the expense of
caring for the poor not increased. but
it has even decreased some years.
In this town, at least, it is shown
that it depends entirely on the bust
ness condition of the tOwn-sn,all in
good business years and larger when
there is depression in local bust
ness. The liquor business does not
appear to effect it in the least.

DoDeEs CELL BY SUICIDE
C. c. Bell, Relative of Former Cover
nor, Killed Himself in Hartford.

y. " DCitg nCldNlNC VI OTflCT OONCI-
nor, Killed Himself in Hartford.
Hartford, Conn. Aug. 9i.-Stop-
ping. with one foot over the threshold
of tne police station into which he
was being taken Sunday afternoon on
the charge OF forgery, Clarence c.
Bell, twenty-one years old, who had
squandered an inheritance of several
thousands of dollars since he became
of age last Aprin, fired a bullet into
his head above the right ear. He died
within three minutes.
Bell had offered a worthless check
for sos to Joseph August. a Boston
automobile dealer, at breakfast in a
hotel this morning. 1t was in pay
ment for a three days automobile
trip. August being suspicious. took
the check to the police station. The
signature was recognized as that of a
man fro whom the police had a war
rant for another forgery on Aug. 8.
When arrested Bell. who is a rela-
tive OF Gov. Bell of Vermont, vehe-
mently denied his identity but ne
laughed and joked about the. mis-
take" on the way to the police sta
ton. Fifty yards from the door he
drew out handkerchief with his free
hand. The detective did not guess
that a revolver was hidden in the
handkerchief The pistol was still
concealed when Bell lifted 1t to his
head and fired.
1t is said that Bell, after spending
all his legacy, continued his high roll
ling by issuing bad checks. The
Greenfield, (Mass.,) police want him
on a larceny charge. His mother,
Mrs Eta Bell of Halifax, VT, Is on
the way to claim the body, and a
telegram nas been sent to another
son. George Bell of Deerfield.
Before leaving Boston on Saturday
Clarence gave a bad check to Post
and Lester for automobile supplies.
He had decorated his gloves with
badges reading u. S. Government
chauffeur" such as were used in the
recent war manoeuvres.

There seems to be a fair prospect
that a reform in the practice of tne
courts, which is responsible for the
laws delays and grave miscarriages
of justice by appeals on technicali-
| ties, is to be effected.
So serious and far-reaching has
this evil become that the American
Bar Association, composed of tae
ablest attorneys and iurists of he
country. has condemned the present
practice in unmistakable trems.
The exhaustive report of the associa-
ton, made after careful and thor
ough consideration, declares that a
trial under the present law is "A
game in which the man wins who
plays it most skillfully without re-
gard to the merits of the cont :
versy and further says that "in com
mon law cases the court at present
seldom feels warranted in giving a
decision upon the merits, but affirms
it If it finds no reversible error and
reverses it if it ginds reversible
error"
This condemnation of a crying
evil, which is responsible for so
many miscarriages of justice through
out the country, and consequent
growing contempt for law and mis-
trust of the judiciary, is none too
strong. So able a jurist and good =
fawver as President Taft has repeat
edly directed attention to the evil
and urged the necessity of reform in
the interests Of genuine Justice and
for the safety of our free institutions
The state of Montana Is among
the first to undertake reform In TINS
matter by legislative enactment. me
legislature of that state now has ne
fore 1t a bill having among its pro
visions the following;
mo Judgment shall be set aside
or reversed, or new trial granted III
any criminal cause by any district
court or by the supreme court, on
the ground of misdirection OF the
Jury or the improper admission o.
or rejection of testimony, or TOT
error as to any matter of pleading
or procedure. unless in the opinion
of the court to which the application
is made after an examination or the
entire case. it shall affirmatiyely ap'
pear that the error complained OF is
miscarriage of Justice"
Here is something that would ser
tainly seem to assure reform ny
striking at the root of the evil. IT
should operate to eliminate largely
those Worthless technicalities that
now occupy the attention of the
courts, obscuring the merits of the
case and causing denials of justice,
and offering every opportunity tor
wealthy criminals to escape punish
ments for their unlawful acts.
other states should follow the ex-
annie of Montana and pass laws
looking to the correction of the pres
ent evils in court practices and to re
establish popular confidence IN lhe
judicial branch of government

The Banner is inclined to the opin-
ion that the Herald and the Banner
agree pretty, regularly as to ends to be
desired and that we disagree only on
methods of reaching those ends which
isn't a very serious form of disagree
ment. Differences of temperament
and variety Of mental process compel
different people to work along differ
ent lines even when both are working
for the same result.

Anty Drudge Explains Why.

Mrs. Dontodre'Yes but soap is soap, and it doesn't
matter which use"
Anty Dr1tdge-Yes and medicine is medicine but it does
matter which kind you take. And it is the same wav
know from experience that Fels-Naptha is the only
kind of soap that will wash things clean in cold or
lukewarm water 1t isn't just soap; it is different
and easier way of washing"
"Soap is soap" said woman. Her
only idea of soap was something to mix
with hot water in order to make steaming
suds. She thought it didn't matter which
kind she used-and it didn't.
But if she had used Fels- Naptha in the
way it should be used, in cold or lukewarm
water, she would have learned that
Fels-Naptha is not only soap but differ
ent way of washing.
A sewing machine is of no use to
woman who doesn't know how to use it.
Neither is any other labor-saving device.
Before you use cake of Fels- Naptha,
then, read carefully the directions printed
on the back of the red and green wrapper.
The directions will tell you how to make
Fels-Naptha do the hardest part of your
washing, without hot fires, without steam
ing suds, without boiling or back-breaking
hard labor. 1t will save your clothes, save
time, save fuel, save your health and the
clothes will be cleaner and whittier than
ever before.
But not unless you use it the
Fels-Naptha way. Look for the red and
green wrapper.
