asked many questions relative to the
race question and this is part OF
my answer:
Negro organizations and negro
erteTmiaCs arc in order and must
be the password and the blood
sprinklCd q over every negro door
post in America. The white man is
not jealous of negro enterprises, as
reported by many of the race II is
he himself who makes the distinc-
tion and creates jealousy and mar
rowness against his fellow man.
The respectable white man every
where he is found is in accord with
the industrious negro who is trying
to do something that he can call his
own.
Nothing would suit the white
man better than to see the negroes
doing business among themselves.
Many white man does business
with them not for the money he
gets out OF them, but simply for
humanity's sake. We see so many
instances where the negro keeps
running wildly onward and forcing
himself where he is not wanted, and
many of them because they are
made to wait, murmur and complain
at their lot"
Yours truly,

Corburn's Aiinstrels at the school
auditorium Saturday night was with
out question the best show ever
given in Dillon. Dillon was not in
cluded in the itinerary of the COM
pany, but they had an off night and
save it to Dillon There were 35
members of the company and each
was an artist in his line. The stage
was too small to permit the com
pany to give it's entire show, but
what was given more than pleased
the audience. The "Marionettes"
or wire dancers itself was worth
more than the price of admission.
OF course, the company did not get
enough door receipts 10 pay expen-
ses, although the auditorium was
pretty we'll crowded, but anyway

closely in the drawer and no money
was found therein, other than few
coppers. On his person, however,
was found quite a sum of money.

DRIVES COLD FROM SYSTEM
Breaks the Worst Cold and Ends
Grippe Misery in Few Hours

The most effective and harmless
way to cure the Grippe or break a
severe cold. either in the head, chest,
back, stomach or limbs Is a dose of
Pape's Cold Compound. every two
hours until three consecutive doses
are taken.
You will distinctly feel the cold
breaking and all grippe symptoms go
ing after the very first dose. 1t
promptly relieves the most miserable
neura gia pains, headache, dullness,
head and nose stuffed up, feverish-
ness, sneezing, sore throat, running
of the nose. soreness, stiffness and
rheumatic aching.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine made any
where else in the world, which will
cure your cold or end grippe misery
as promptly and without any other
assistance or bad after-effects as a
% cent package of Pape's Cold Com
pound which any druggist in the
world can supply.
After three years research we
have conclusiyely demonstrated that
quinne is not effective in the treat
ment of colds or grippe.

CHARLTON MUST
STAND TRIAL
IN ITALY
Alleged Wife-Murderer Surread-
cred BY Knox
UNDER EXTRACTION TREATY
Secretary Holds United States Is
Obligated Regardless Of ltaiy's
Course in Similar Cases

Washington, Dec. 10.-Secretary
Knox yesterday granted the request
of Italy for the surrender of Porter
Charlton, charged with the murder
OF his wife at Lake Como, Italy. The
secretary holds that the fact that It
ally refuses to surrender her citizens
to the United States for trial does
not relieve this country from the obi
cation OF the extradition treaty 10
surrender to Italy fugitives from JUS
tice from that country. The ques-
ton of the insanity of Charlton, it is
suggested, is one for the courts and
not for the department to determine.
Had Secretary Knox refrained
from acting upon this case for six
days Porter Charlton would have
been free man, as the statutes re-
quired final action in the case within
so days from the date of HIS commit
ment. The secretary takes broad
ground in his opinion, holding that
the mere fact that the italian govern
ment declines TO surrender its own
citizens does not absolve the United
States from full responsible ity under
the extradition treaty, and in 40 way
acts TO abrogate that treaty. The le-
gal contention of counsel of the ac-
cused on that point and on the other
point raised, that the Italian demand
for Charlton's surrender had not been
made in strict accordance with the
requirements OF the treaty are swept
away by the secretary as without ba-
sis, and the committing magistrates
proceedings are found to have been
regu ar In all respects. A closing re-
mark by the secretary Is OF deep sig
nifcance carrying the plain intima-
ton that Charltons attorneys may
have further recourse to the courts If
they are disposed to raise the qnes-
ton of insanity.
The decision relates the history OF
the case, beginning with the arrest
OF Charlton in New York on June "a
last on complaint OF. the Italian vice
consul Formal demand for the ex-
tradition Of Charlton under and pur-
suant to the terms of the extradition
treaty between the United States and
Italy reads the decision signed by
Secretary Knox, was made upon this
government by the government of It.
ally under date OF July IS received
by the department July 800 that Is.
within the l4-days period provided
for this purpose in the treaty. Later
Charlton was taken before an extra
dition magistrate who. after formal
hearing as provided by the treaty and
statute, committed him on October
! IA for surrender TO the Italian gev-
eminent.

A GREAT MOVEMENT
That is Working Wonders With Boys
of the Nation

number of the parents have al
ready signified their intentions OF
buying scouts uniform for their
boys as a Christmas present A uni
formed troop will add greatly TO the
interest and work of the boy scouts
right here in Bennington. Scouts
are being organized by the hundreds
all over the country and many uni
forms have already been ordered for
troops Of other towns and cities. The
first boys to climb Mt Hunque in
Porto Rico were twelve boy scouts.
Governor Cotton telegraphed his con
gratu ations on your brilliant
achievement.
This is q good timely hing worth
putting into q boys mind at this
season. one OF the Des Moines
scouts saw a horse tied on a raw day
with the blanket under his feet; he
put II back on the horses back. An
other washed the dishes for his moth
er who was III. Another cleaned out
the furnace for an overworked WON
an.
A school teacher who had taught
boys for a long time, came to the
Office In New York City, telling that
he had for the first time in his life
seen boy who was always looking
for things to do for others. He
watched him for two weeks as he was
Ia aud out OF the building in Atlantic
City Astonished, he asked the sec
rotary, What has happened to that
boy?" "Oh, he has joined the boy
scouts and the scout idea has master
ed him
There is no reason why Bennington
should not have an "A number one"
troop Of boy scouts TO do this we
need the cooperation OF the parents
and public spirited citizens, who will
take a vital and active interest in
this commendable work that Is
sweeping this and other countries at
( this time. II is necessary that we
/ have a citizens committee composed
I of at least nine representative adults
Of the town of Bennington or immed-
late vicinity to act as an advisory
+ council and assist in the development
/ of the movement in this town. Two

see Just what it means and the effect
! IL will have on Bennington's future,
! for il is only too true that the boy
OF today is the man of tomorrow.
Then If YOU feel so disposed notify
the local scout master. c. II. Arnold,
/ physical director of the y. NJ. c. A.,
! OF your wi lingness to serve on this
committee.
Without this committee the boy
scout movement in Bennington is
surely doomed to failure. The scout
idea is endorsed by the leading men
OF the nations All nationalities,
creeds and colors are represented: To
quote phrase nom the scouts law
there are no snobs among the boy
| scouts.
Now It is up to you, do We have a
hourshing troop here in Bennington
or not?

UNCLE TOMS CABIN
Ever-Popular Drama at Opera House
Next Thursday Evening

Next Thursday Evening
If press opinions count for anything
Al w. Martins production of Uncle
Toms Cabin, which will be seen at
the Bennington opera house Thursday
December Is. has caught the public
fancy. The theatres where the offer
ing has been made is said to have
been crowded at everv performance
and no reasonable DOUBT remains that
business of the season will reach a
figure that will astonish the dramatic
world For a play holding the stage
over fifty years within which period
not single season has elapsed dur
ing which ii was entirely absent from
the theatre, Uncle Toms Cabin still
exhibits wonderful vitality. Scorned
ridiculed and rejected of the elect Ia
the more important theatres a few
years ago, it is now ensconced in the
very homes of art and thousands are
weeping and laughing over its vari-
Gus incidents nightly.
II is doubtful whether there has
ever been so lavish and adequate a
production of this play as that which
Mr.. Martin will bring to our city. The
scenes which are displayed could not
easily be improved. Each pictures
the reality as closely as paint and
canvas will permit and the stage per-
spective is so deep that effect is ex-
ceptionally pleasing The company
is also worthy of its environment
So many actors of pleasing reputat-
ion have never before been seen en-
gagged together in this play. 1t is a
decided novelty and at all points Mr..
Martin has made plain what brains,
money and energy can accomplish
