OPPORTUNITY FOR BENNINGTON

Following in the wake Of the recent
editorial in the Banner suggesting
the advisability of the organizing of
a board Of trade. an opportunity has
presented itself for Bennington to
secure an industry. For some time
past resident of the village who
owns building well adapted for
manufacturing purposes but now va
cant, has been looking for a tenant.
In the course Of his correspondence
he has discovered a manufactures in
a New York town who is looking for
location and an opportunity TO eX-
pand an already well-established bus
mess. The principal reasons for de-
string a change are the small quar-
ters now occupied and the impossible
ity of securing anything better in the
town where the business is being
carried on.
The manufacturer in question is
the owner Of a patent on small
wooden and iron article for which he
has created a good market. On his
order books are the names of some
of the big department store firms.
He has employed as many as twenty
FIVE men in the rush season and is
confident that an even larger num-
Der could be placed on the payroll II
he could only secure larger quarters
and some additional capital. What
the manufacturer would like is to
find some Individual or collection Of
men who would be willing to put
$4,000 or less into the business with
a manager to take care of the finan-
cial end. He realizes that while he
has ability as a mechanic and has
proved that he has put a good pro-
position on its feet that he lacks
some Of the essentials to do the bus
mess justice
II Bennington had board/of trade
it would be possible to make investi-
cation of this matter. The addition
of twenty or more wage-earners to
the community with the possibilities
Of future growth would be we'll worth
considering. There is a chance tc
take the matter up on the part of in
dividuals.

The hunters are peppering the deer
with shotguns down in the four ives.
tern counties of Massachusetts, this
week and during the first two days
of the open season of week they
have succeeded in killing about $780,
This shotgun law is one Of the most
inhuman and mistaken statutes ever
enacted. The Virginia deer has so
much vitality that it is necessary for
a hunter armed with a rife OF large
calibre to hit the animal in a vital
spot in order to bring Il down and
prevent It from escaping into the
brush there to wander and die after
days and perhaps weeks Of suffering.
The law was. of course. created for
the purpose OF protecting hunters and
other persons from stray bullets, but
the experience of deer hunting in this
and other states has proved that the
fatalities In the woods are not due
to stray bullets but are the results
of shots fired directly at human VIC
tins who have been mistaken for
deer. A charge Of buckshot fired at
a man. at the distance at which 80
out Of 100 deer are killed, will des-
troy life just as eifectually as a rife
bullet In many cases the buckshot
will cause even greater damage. A
single bullet might pass through a
leg, arm or shoulder and the man re-
cover without loss OF life or limb. A
charge OF buckshot. however, scatters
and the mangling effect is far more
serious.

Trustee Process Deadlock.

It appears that Senator Cushman
has expressed some surprise at the
attitude OF the Herald regarding the
trustee process deadlock.
There should be not the slightest
reason for surprise at the Heralds
attitude.
The Herald has consistently ad.
hered TO the spirit OF the pledges Of
two succeeding platforms on the sub
ject OF workingmen's exemptions from
trustee process.
1t was never the policy OF the re-
publican party, In the Herald's view
so to coddle the workingman as to de-
prive him OF manly and self-reliant
sense OF obligation. The language of
the last platform on this head runs:--
Farming and the professions are
granted special exemptions from at.
tachment on the theory that the bare
necessities OF life shall not be sued
away from these men and their Deepen.
dent ones. The wage-earner and his
dependent ones are as entitled 10
share In this wise and humane law.
Therefore we recommend the enact
ment OF a law saving from attach.
ment wages sufficient to obtain the
necessities OF life which shall be an
amount OF not less than ten dollars"
II will be seen that by no construc.
ton does the platform advocate the
principle OF the so-called substitute
bill relating to exemptions from trus-
tee process.
This plank OF the platform was not
designed to place the wage-earner

BEAUTIFYING OF TOWNS.
Necessity of lnsuring Future Growth
Along More Symmetrical Lines.

The "city beautiful" is receiving at
tention in number of American mu-
inequalities. In the large majority of
them little heed has been given to
Identification. While there are many
beautiful towns and cities In the
United States, this is due mostly to
natural location and individual effort
and not to any systematic scheme of
improvement. Park commissioners
have done much for the appearance of
many cities, but they cannot do every
thing that is desirable.
In New York and Chicago there are
well defined movements with a view
to relieving future congestion of popu
lation and making additions to the
cities more attractive and harmonious.
1t costs a large amount of money to
make a city beautiful" as in the cases
of Paris and Berlin and Washington.
In all these cities untold millions have
been expended for Identification
While it is not possible for many mu
inequalities to spend such enormous
amounts, all towns can and should do
something to insure future growth
along more symmetrical lines.-Louis-
vile Courier-J ournal.

USING A VACANT LOT.
Good Example Set by Church In an
Ohio City.

Good Example Set by Church In an
Ohio City.
The Second church of Springfield o.,
has a vacant lot in the central part of
the city which it is reserving to build
on q little later. But the trustees de-
termined that it was not right to let
the lot lie until it could be used for
building, and so they provided that it
should be fitted up as a playground for
children of the neighbOrhOod through
the present summer Flower beds were
laid out and some lawn sown, but the
most of the lot was given up to
swings, slides and other suitable temp
tations to childish play
Moreover, observing that there was
no public drinking place in the neigh
borhood, the trustees provided coil
of water pipe running through a box
to be filed with ice and thus improvis-
ed public ice water fountain. The
public has shown great appreciation
of both provisions on the part of the
trustees. The example may certainly
be commended to other churches which
are holding vacant property.
