AS TO pEMURRAas
N. J. Hapsood Urges Action BY
Shippers

Shippers
Editor OF The Banner The last
session of the legislature enacted a
law requiring the railroads TO allow
four days for the loading as we'll as
the unloading of cars. The rail-
roads now charge demurrage of
one dollar per day upon
all cars not loaded between
seven o'clock in the morn
ing and four o'clock in the after
noon of the following day even when
the cars are their own and destined
to points within the state This Is
the same matter involved In the re-
monstrance of the twenty-four COVER
nors at their last conference, with
especial reference to Minnesota
Vermont is equally concerned as 1t
is a bold and open defiance OF our
statutes.
We rely upon our governor, rail-
road commissioners and attorney
general to take proper. and suitable
action. We are confident that the
final result will show that the rights
of the people will be respected and
proper redress obtained But pend.
ing such final action, allow me to
suggest to all shippers to pay all ex-
cess charges under protest and take
receipt therefor from the station
agents as paid under protest Also
demurrage is being charged where
any delay occurs in signing shipping
orders. according to railroad forms,
even though direct orders are given
by mail. These charges should also
be paid under protest and due re-
oeipts taken. Where the railway
agents refuse to give such receipts,
instances of which have occurred,
then pay under protest with a wit.
ness TO that effect Corporations. as
a rule. have no souls and justice and
redress from them must be obtained
by main force. Let us be determin.
cd and wide awake.

MAKE SUGAR TRUST BARRELS
cooperaee Plant May Be Built a
Wilmington

That the rebuilding OF the Hoosac
Tunnel & Wilmington railroad from
narrow to standard guage, now in
progress Is to be followed by big de-
yelopments in the valley of the up
per Deerfield is assured If negotia-
tons and plans that the Transcript
learns have been under consideration
are carried through.
The most important move under
consideration is the location of a
large cooperage plant, which will be
subsidiary to the American Sugar Re
fining company, at Mountain Mills
near Wilmington, utilizing the prod
uct of the large timber tracts in that
section in the manufacture OF bar
rels, and employing large number
of hands.
interviewed by a special represen-
tative of the Transcript in New York
President Parker of the Brooklyn
Cooperage company, which transacts
the cooperage business of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company said to-
day that his company was not now
contemplating the building of a
branch plant in Wilmington. VT, that
the matter was not under considera-
ton at this time.
There is every reason TO believe,
however, that plans are pretty well
matured for a plant of this nature,
Extensions of the railroad to Man
chester, along right of way, now
used for logging road, and to Brat
tleboro, for which right of way was
recently surveyed, are also among
the predictions. President Kellas Of

Transcript reporter, said that the ex
tensions referred to would be too ex
pensive to be practical, and that the

IDEALS OF HEAVEN
TyP|F.lED BY
OUR COURTS
President Assails Critics o
Supreme Tribunal
ATTACKS ARE POLITICAL
Questioning Of Its Motive Lays the
Axe to Root of Our
Civilization

Pocatello, Idaho, Oct Tn a
speech before the Chamber OF Com
merce yesterday President Taft bit
terly assailed the critics of the Uni
ted States Supreme court, and assert
ed anew his views as TO the relat-
ions of government TO business.
81 love judges and love courts"
said the president. They are my
ideals on earth that typify what we
shall meet afterward in Heaven I'M
der just God And when a court
is doing its duty, when 1t is trying
to interpret the law as it ought TO
be, to have il condemned and attack
ed and its motive questioned for
mere political purposes, without any
solid ground for attack goes TO my
heart, and | resent 1t with deep in
dignation."
Mr.. Taft spoke with far more feel
ing than he put into his Detroit and
Waterloo speeches, but along The
same lines. He said he had receiy-
ed many criticisms on the point but
as yet he had failed to receive an
answer to his challenge TO W. j.
Bryan and other publicists, TO cite a
single case OF restraint OF trale
which ought to be condemned under
the Supreme Courts Interpretation
OF the antitrust law in the Standard
Oil and the Tobacco Trust cases.
What distinguishes this country
from any other one" said the presi'
dent, lis the Supreme Court that we
have in Washington, that oft has
stood between us and errors that
might have been committed that
would have been greatly injurious to
this country; and to turn upon that
court and TO question Its motives
and to attack II seems to me 20 lay
the axe at the root of the tree oil
our civilization"

Rodney Sackett said it was the
custom in Wisconsin, during cam
paigns, to send jugs of whisky and
kegs of beer to localities where fay-
orable political sentiment was to be
worked up.
When Senator w. b. Hepburn ask
ed Sackett whether Senator Steph-
enson had spent almost 81 for enter
tainment for each of the $4,000 votes
he had received, the witness said
that that was one way Of reckoning
it.
1t was brought out that several
ministers had acted as campaign

HOME TO FIGHT THE TURKS
Seven italian Workmen VIII Leave
to Join Forces of Native Country

One effect of the present Turco-
Italian unpleasantness was felt tn
town yesterday, wnen seven of the
100 or more Italian laborers employ
ed on the Everett estate, laid aside
their picks and shovels at the close
of work TO take up arms against the
Sultan. They will leave early to-
morrow morning for Boston, where
they will join a number of fellow
countrymen already collected in that
city for the same purpose, and on
Tuesday the tentative Turk terror.
izers will set sail for the sunny
shores Of fair Italy. Five of the
seven Italians from Bennington will
grace the ranks of the army, while
the remaining two will seek distinc-
ton in the annals Of the Italian ma
Wy.
OF the seven Italians from this
town, three are returning of their
own volition. The patriotism Of the
other four is inspired by a strong,
and not impersonal desire to COM
ply with the military requirements
OF their country, which, like Ger
many, requires Of each male subject
OF the proper age certain amount
Of military service. An Italian who
leaves the country without having
served the prescribed length of time
in the Italian army is subject to mil
itary duty upon his return, provided,
however. that he has not become
citizen of the country to which he
emmigrated The Italian govern
ment further requires that every I'M
naturalized Italian shall offer his ser
vices to his country during times
OF war, and by failing 10 live up to
this requirement a returning Italian
is liable to severe penalties.
Both the soldiers and sailors of
Italy are divided, according to the
years of enlistment; that is, a man
who enlisted 20 years ago is enroll
ed as a member of the division of
1886, while man who entered the
army two or three years ago is a
member of the divisions OF 1909 or
1908. When a call is made for
troops, it is first felt by the latest
divisions, as the government pro-
ceeds on the theory that these div
isions are more familiar with the
new developments in methods OF
war. All of the Italians from this
town will become members of these
last divisions.

ANOTHER DAM BURSTS
But Wisconsin People Have Warning
and Move from Danger

Lacrosse, Wis. Oct. 6.-Telephone
advices Just received at the Offices of
the Lacrosse Water Power company
say that the west end OF the main
dam at Hatfield went out at 10:S0.
The dam is a solid concrete struc-
ture sixty feet high and 100 feet deep
at the base. II was considered
strong enough to hold any food of
water which might be turned against
it.
Efforts are being made to confne
the torrent which has broken through
the dam to a canal and thus out of
the main river, but it is admitted
that the situation is desperate. Re-
lief parties are being hurriedly or
ganized to go to the scene by auto
mobile.
The Dells dam, eighteen miles up
the Black river, broke today and
threw a large volume of water
against the Hatfield concrete dam.
The water at this point is the high
est in years, and II the Hatfield dam
is swept away the loss will be ire
mendous.
The people are panic stricken and
they we're warned to move from the
lower levels.

SICK kindeys give many Signal Of distress.
The secretions are dark, edttain sediment.
Passages are frequent, sranty, painful.
Backache is constant Gay and night.
Headaches and dizzy spells are frequent,
The weakened Kidneys need quick help
Don't delay Use special kidney remedy
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys, back
ache and Urinary disorders.
Belfast evidence proves this statement.

in my back some of which were quite severe
1t was hard for me to stoop or straighten and
any sudden movement caused sharp twinges
