PRIVILEGE In Court

1t is not strange that public senti-
ment is offended when there is a re-
port every little while of the acquit-
tai of wealthy defendants who are
able to employ most skillful lawyers
In such cases the defendants at least
are brought into open court But in
a case last week in the Cambridge
district court, when the son OF a
rich New York man had to be fined
500 for the reckless operation of an
automobile, the case was not heard
in open court.
This particular case is said TO have
involved some unpleasant circumstan
ces and a strong effort was made tC
hush up the affair. In this effort the
court seems to have co-operated by
hearing the case in lobby. In Other
words, an offense for which the ay
erage defendant would be compelled
to answer in open court was heard
apart from the regular proceedings
and the facts became public property
only through special diligence on tht
part OF the press.
This procedure is all wrong, tend
ing as it does to make people fee
that rich man can get special con
sideration that the court would no
think of giving to poor man.-Bos

Fishing Tackle
- AT -
CriswOld's

Cheap tackle, offered by some deal
ers. looks good enough to fish with,
but your family doctor will tell you
0f you do not know from personal
experience) that its use will tend to
nervousness and fits, because 1t is
not fit for fishing.
We have strong suspicion that II
your hook, smell or line breaks Just
as you snip the biggest fish in the
brook, that the naughty words and
the special emphasis with which you
mention the name Of the dealer who
sold you the tackle, is not good adj
vertising for him; hence 1t has been
our policy to handle only tackle that
we know is safe to sell and use. The
reason. we have the biggest tackle
business in this section is because
the successful fishermen have discov
cred that our tackle does not fail
them and they have told the rest OF
the bunch about 1t.
Drop in and let US show you some
new things, made especially fof us
at the suggestion Of our best fisher
men in these waters.
Rods, Reels, Baskets, Bait Boxes
and everything except worms and
fish to insure big mess Of trout
every time you fish.

BENNINGTON, VT, APRIL 9, 1912

The Manchester Journal continues
its attack on Frank h. Howe OF the
Bennington Banner with no injury to
anybody but itself. Thus far the
Journals revelations have shown
Mr.. Howe to be just the kind OF re-
publican for whom the people OF the
state ought to esteem it a privilege
to vote-one who is loyal to party
principles and yet is not so hide
bound as to turn his thinking over
to somebody else Not one single
thing that the Journal has exposed
is in the slightest degree evidence
of Mr. Howe's unftness for the Office
of acknowledgements and that is
what he is running for-Brattleboro
Reformer.
1t will not be difficult to prove
that The Banner and it's editor are
among those who believe in trying to
advance. We are among those who
would rather make an occasional
mistake in trying to progress thar
to rust out in the old ruts. If it Is
treachery to urge Vermont to wake vi
and hustle for the progress and pros
perty of the future, instead of re
naming stationary in population ant
backward in developing its own re
sources, then The Banner is
traitor.

BOTH SIDES CLAIM VERMONT
District Conventions Tomorrow
State Convention Wednesday

With both the Taft and Roosevelt
leaders claiming control and both
sides working overtime to swing the
delegates into line, there is every
indication of an interesting session
when the republican state convention
is held at Montpelier Wednesday to
select delegates to the republican nat
ional convention Delegates from the
first district are largely conceded to
President Taft and the real battle
ground will be in the second district
The Roosevelt men claim that they
will not only carry this district but
by so wide margin as to give them
control of the state convention. The
Taft forces are equally confident OF
victory. The district conventions
will be held tomorrow, the first dis
trict at Burlington and the second in
Montpelier Plans have been made
for a big Roosevelt rally at Montpel-
Ter tomorrow night on the eve of the
state convention. Gov. Robert p.
Bass of New Hampshire will be the
chief speaker.

EFFECT OF CANALS ON RATES
Waterways Commission Suggests
Federal Control

Waterways Commission Suggests
Federal Control
Washington, April Further leg
islation to protect waterways against
railway competition, to establish ami
cable relations between the two, and
to promote Federal cooperation with
local interests in construction of ca
nails are urged in the first report OF
the National Waterways Commission
made public today.
The report declares that the FEEDER
al government in the near future
must assume control Of some features
of water power regulation.
The commission recommends that
army engineers be assigned to super
wise the proposed canal to connect
the Ohio river near Pittsburgh with
Lake Erie. when $l0,0O0,OOO cash and
IS 900 600 in bonds are made avail
able by the communities Interested.
The secretary OF war, however. may
demand that these amounts be in
creased. The commission recon-
mends that when work on the canal
is begun congress appropriate for an
adequate harbor in Indian Creek on
the Lake Erie end and to improve
the Ohio river in the Pittsburgh ais
trict. These improvements are to be
completed when operation OF the ca
nal begins, but the government is not
to be required TO buy any land and
is not bound to assume any financial
responsibilities whatever.
A survey for a canal from Lake
Erie 10 the southern end OF Lake
Michigan Is recommended ana N
commission concluded from its pres
ent information that the most feas-
ible route would be through the Maui
NEE river by way OF Fort Wayne and
that fuorteen feet would be a prac-
teal depth
The commission points to the traf-
ic possibilities OF the Lake Erie and
Ohio canal and says substantial re-
auctions of railroad rates may be
expected to follow operation. The
Lake Erie-Michigan canal would OBJ
viate the detour around the Michi-
gan peninsula and give a more direct
water route from Chicago to New
York
The commission believes the inter
state commerce laws are now insult.
ficient to preserve water transporta.
ton and foster its growth. II urges
that every water carrier In inter
state commerce be under control OF
the Interstate commerce commission
to enable the commission to establish
through routes, joint rates and
through bills OF lading. without which
the commission believes, the rehabil
itation Of water traffic will not be
| complete.
The report arraigns the inadequacy
OF water terminals and urges that
further river and harbor improve
ments be avoided without assuran
ces Of proper terminals on compile
ton. Federal condemnation OF prl
vate property for public terminals 4.
not recommended except where a 10
cality establishes its inability to dea
with the terminal problem.

FOR RELIEF OF CENSUS GIRL
Senate Appropriaties s42o0-ScaIp

Washington, April 1.-THE Senate
today devoted most OF the session to
the consideration of a bill for the
relief of Miss Alice v Houghton, for
merly a clerk in the Census Bureau,
who met with an accident a year ago
by which her scalp was torn off and
other injuries inflicted by coming in
contact with a .-tabulating mach
Her condition was critical for seN g..
al weeks and she is still under treat
ment.
The peculiar nature of her injuries
aroused wide attention and sympathy
Her scalp has been restored by graft
ing, but she is still suffering from
nervousness produced by the shock.
The special session of congress ap.
propriated $1,000 to pay the doctors
bill and other expenses and to REIN
burse her for the loss of salary. To
day this appropriation was increased
by adding $4,000, which will be paid
to her in installments of $50 a month.

"Clean up the bowels and keep

DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are a
