THE HATS ARE THE "FREAKs"
Correspondent Says Bennington is Not
Only Bare-Head Town

To the Editor of the Banner:-.n re
ply to our critic, whose article appear
ed in a recent issue of your paper,
wish to say that the bare-headed sum
mer girls of Bennington make bet
ter and more natural appearance with
out hats than when crowned by one OF
the hfdeously freaked contriviances
which are at the present day so COM
monty worn.
These hats are far more injurious to
the color and quantity Of our hair than
Gods own pure air and bright sun
shine. We all know how to clean our
hair without soap. If a girl doesn't
have to worry about rats and puffs
she will find no greater joy than going
bare-headed during the bright breezy
days of the coming summer.
The majority of Bennington girls
are, we hope, quite independent of the
opinions held by travelling men. Being
quite well aware how subject to
change are these opinions we
haven't the slightest respect for
The Bennington girls are not alone
in their distaste for hats as the girls
In every small town are happiest when
the weather permits them, to dispense
them. =
However. If our critic is a milliner
We hope she will not experience any
serious depression in business during
the summer months.

FIVE MEN ACCUSED

Gang of Section Hands
REVEALED BY CONFESSION
Unknown Colored Youth Beaten and
Thrown Into Winooski River
Near Bolton.

Bolton, April 21.-Henry McCabe
foreman of the Central Vermont rail.
road section gang here, James Swee-
ney and John Kennisson, who work
under McCabe, and two tramps are I'M
der arrest and the police are looking
for a wood chopper, named Henry
Goodrich, of South Burlington, for al
legged murder for causing the death of
an unknown negro boy by throwing
him into the Winooski river near the
"ledges" here Saturday. The arrests
were made this morning by Deputy
Sheriff A. G. Stevens and the police in
Burlington and other places have been
notified to be on the outlook for Good
rich.
One of the section men lost his
nerve and told of the happening to
Deputy Sheriff Stevens, otherwise the
affair might never have come to the
notice of the police. The man who
confessed first was John Kennisson,
who claims that he did not take part
in the affair. He came to the Stevens
house early Sunday morning, awaken
ed the deputy sheriff and told him
what had happened. saying that he
could not sleep a wink with the
thought of the murder on his mind.
An investigation was begun and the
arrests followed this morning. Nc
Cabe wilted under the cross fire of
questions of Deputies Stevens and Muir
ply and told everything, although he
declared that he did not actually take
part in throwing the boy into the riv-
er, He admitted that he did throw
throw the black in there" which they
did.
The negro boy was about f9 years
old and had been employed on dam
construction work in Essex. On his
clothing was a tag which gave this
much information, and II the body is
recovered 1t is thought it will be pos
slble to identify the victim. So fal
as the authorities are able to deter
mime yet the circumstances In the case
are that the section men Saturday
morning started out to work on the
track near the "ledges." They put
their dinner pals in a little house
| there that the railroad had construct
ed. They then went to work, coming
back at noon, finding that the dinner
pals were gone and they had to come
back to Bolton for their meal. AS they
were returning to their work, after
dinner. they saw the colored boy in a
mill warming himself. They seized
him and accused him Of having stolen
their dinners and tried to make him
tell where the pals were. He disclaim
ed any knowledge of the dinner or the
pals and broke away from them and
an exciting chase through the town be
gan. The boy was captured and 1t is
alleged was beaten and that the men
took him away on hand car.
Some school children who had been
greatly excited by the man hunt went
down the track to the little house
where they heard the men making
threats and saw that the boy was be-
ing tortured so 1t is alleged, becoming
frightened the children FASTENED
back to town and got two or three men
to go back with them. AS the men

AUTO TRUCK THROWS STONES
Two Windows In WlIloughby Block
Broken This Afternoon.

The plate glass in the easterly
front window of the John c. Jensen
tailor shop on Main street and a
large sheet of glass in the skylight
over the Willoughby five and ten
cent store. basement were broken in
a peculiar manner early this after
noon.
A large automobile van arrived in
the village late this forenoon with a
load of household furniture from
North Adams and was on its return
trip when the accident occurred. A
gang of workmen was making some
changes in the swith in the Berkshire
trolley line just in front Of the
Banner office and had in their exca-
waiting made several heaps of
small cobbles. Onsor more of these
cobbles was hit by the wheels of the
truck and thrown against the wind
ows. The breakage may have all
been done by one cobble, but ii is
probable that there were two. The
stone that passed through the sky
light also broke a quantity of dishes
in the Willoughby basebent. The oc-
cupants OF the truck did not stop to
ascertain the amount of damage.

New York felicitates herself now
and then upon the number of her cit
izens who hold conspicuous places IN
the Federal service, but it is doubt
ful whether any area of the size COW
cred by the Twenty-first ward of Chi
cago excels that division in the num-
Der of high officials who call it home,
and to whom not long after the fourth
of March, it will be home in reality.
1t boasts two members of the cabi-
net, Secretaries MacVeagh and Fish
er; two foreign ministers, Calhoun,
accredited to China, and Boutell, now
in Switzerland; one representative in
congress, Lyden Evans, and four mi
nor secretaries. This showing would
be enough to make all the other SEN
ators at Washington turn envious eyes
upon Senator Cullom, if, by an odd
coincidence, he also were not leaving
Washington about March 4.

This is not a day of triumph; it is
a day of dedication"

This is not a day of triumph; it is
day of dedication"
This reflects the
Wilson VIII Win. spirit of Woodrow
Wilson on the oc-
casion OF his inaugural. To him the
presidency means no great personal
triumph; no great victory for his par
ty. It means that upon his shoulders
and upon the shoulders of his asso-
ciates, chiefly democrats but fire.
quently republicans or progressives,
falls the heavy task of restoring our
economic life to the normal state.
It is a difficult task that confronts
Wilson because it has been so long
deferred. The reign of privilege has
covered many years. During that time
the few have become surfeited with
unearned wealth, acquired at the ex-
pense Of the multitude. 1t has made
our rich men narrow and arrogant
1t has caused a false standard to be
set up throughout the nation. The
dollar has been exploited and wor-
SHIPPED, whether clean or corrupt and
the great principles upon which our
republic was founded have been for
saken.
1t falls upon President Wilson to
restore the temple and make this
government what it was intended to
be, a government never ruled by
privilege but always by principle. 1t
is monumental task and one that
cannot be accomplished in a day. 1t
is a task for a man of great capac-
ity and skill. The nation is econo-
micaily III and must be treated. The
false and parasitical must be cut away
so that the current will again run full
and free producing the symmetry that
is desired.
No knight Of the days of old when
men battled to restore the sacred
sepulchre or sought the Holy Grail
ever came to front at a more oppor-
tune time than has Woodrow Wilson
He appears at an hour when the re-
public is beset on one hand by the
dangers that come from plutocratic
rule and on the other by the perils
Of anarchy 1t is his mission to car
ry the standard and lead the people
forward through the dangers that con-
front them TO the land of true pros
perity-where all men earn what they
get and get what they earn.
Wilson will succeed because he Is
inspired by a vision and knows how
tc make the dream come true.
