FROM MRS. RLIckENsDERFER
Tries to Prove That Death of Cover
nor Bell Was Punishment

To the Editor OF --.e Stamford Conn
Advocate
Former Gov. Charles j. Bell of Yer
mont, whose sudden death in the
Grand Central station. New York, so
shocked his friends in New England.
was the victim of a bad law that his
state mas been trying to abolish for
some time. Four years ago, Governor
Bells name and his photograph were
in every paper In the land. A great
struggle was on between him and
many thousand persons all over the
country. concerning an unfortunate
woman who was sentenced to die on
the gallows, and whose mental sound
ness was gravely questioned by those
who had investigated the case.
The writer of this was Governor
Bells chief antagonist. never enemy,
although he seemed to so regard her,
IL WAS singular coincidence that the
woman whom Governor Bell had mis-
understood, criticised and even insult
ed in the press solely because OF her
interceding for an unfortunate friend
less creature-it was singular coin
cidence that this woman should have
been entering the great railway sta
ton at the moment the as yet uniden-
tilted body of Governor Bell was be-
ing borne out by the police. Dramat-
ic situations occur in real life.
But when death, the great harmo-
nicer, steps in, there comes only the
one thought, how impossible 1t is to
say anything but good of the dead
Charles ]. Bell was a man of personal
integrity, of upright life; honest and
stubborn in his beliefs. His election
as governor proved the great misfor-
tune of his life. Placed by unhappy
circumstances in a position requiring
greater knowledge OF the wide world
and of human nature than he possess
ed, he made a mistake which was
bound to prove fatal to his popularity
and further aspirations in public life.
From the day of the execution OF the
irresponsible Mary Rogers, his health
failed. A stroke of his pen repriev-
ing this unhappy creature to the next
legislature would have made him theN
most famous governor in the United
States. He was stubborn. Two hun
dred thousand petitions came. They
came in bags by personal messengers.
He refused to look at them. Men of
importance, millionaires, pleaded
some with beads of sweat on their
foreheads-not to hang creature
whose mental soundness was doubted.
His stubbornness prevailed He be-
lieved he must carry out the law of
Vermont. 1t was bad law, Governor
Bell was good citizen in private
life, and this bad law is responsible
for his death. Perhaps the people of
Vermont will realize the truth and
change the statute now.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Unequivocally
asserting that monopoly now is In
process Of formation whose object is
to obtain possession of the water
power sites of the country, Clifford
Pinchot, chief of the bureau OF fores-
try who has returned from an extend
ed inspection in the West, declares
that remedial legislation must be en-
acted at the coming session of Con-
gress if this great natural resource
is to be preserved to the people.
The problem of how best to prevent
the nations water power sites from
being gobbled up by such combina-
tions, Mr.. Pinchot- predicted, will be
one of the biggest issues which the
next session of Congress will have to
thresh out While he stated that the
alleged trust is now only in the for
native state, Mr.. Pinchot declares
that prompt action on the part of Con
gress is necessary to throttle it. Up
on the proper solution of this question
the future happiness of a great many
people rests, he said:
Looming up as another big prob
lem which will confront Congress will
be the question of the disposition of

AS there is often some one in your

This harmless blessing will digest

Tell your pharmacist to let you
read the formula plainly printed on
these 50-cent cases of Pape's Diapep-

heartburn and other distress go in
five minutes and relieves at once
such miseries as Belching of Gas,
Fluctuations of sour undigested food,
Nausea, Headaches, Dizziness, Consti-

Some folks have tried so long TO
find relief from Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia or an out-of-order stomach
with the common, everyday cures adj

up their minds that they have some
thing else wrong, or believe theirs is
a case of Nervousness. Gastritis, Cat
arrh of the Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt, is a serious mistake.
your real trouble is, what you eat
does not digest; instead, it ferments
and sours, turns to acid, Gas and sto-
mach poison. which putrefy in the di-

with the supervising architect of the
Treasury soon after the work was be-
gun. The contract called for thirty
perfect columns, but the Government
inspector at the quarry discovered that
one of them contained a flaw.

umn was delivered in p, ashing on, and
further inspection showed that it had
been scanned, thus cleverly colceaIing
the flaw. On behalf of the contractor,
effort was made to influence, tllrouyh a

This failed, however. ana the con-
tractor was informed that a heavy
penalty would be imposed unless a per-
feet column was produced. The mono
lith erected today is the ore substituted
for the imperfect one.

OF $50 day for every days delay since
December Is last can be imposed When
