The Charter

The congratulations and thanks of the public due the board freeholders who have prac- ticaIly completed the proposed city charter In all probability it will be fully completed and ready for filing by the latter part of next week The work will be done well within the time allowed by law. It hoped in the beginning that the board had good start in the charter which had been ratified by the people, been disap- proved by the governor, the work might be pleted within q shorter period. but several important changes have been made and they were naturally preceded by considerable discussion. is gratifying note that in all they were agreed by large majority of the board.
 The meetings board have been well attended. Generally, all the members have been present. What has been done has been done fully due consideration. Experiments opposed. The members have seldom proposed new untried and fanciful ideas but they have generally selected what they believed to be the the different systems of the commission form of government already tried. So, the charter a s will be fully completed. will be the work of only the fourteen gentlemen constituting the board work of the best men in many cities and towns who have made study of municipal government.
 The charter may not, all it's parts, have the full approval O all the members of the board or any member of it. It may be that every voter will find something it which he might wish had been left out, that things not found in it will suggest themselves as proper subjects have been included but believe that the whole, a large majority of the will believe that the charter the thing to be adopted; that it is a guaranty against the evils of the present system Phoenix and the same system of extravaganza and inefficiency everywhere: that it will insure the city absolute freedom from party politics. that it will give us a businesslke and efficient government at a minimum of expense it will be the best for all citizens except the politicians and their dependents.

The Rinohamton Lesson

The disaster at Binghamton N Y, Tuesday, involving the loss fifty lives, does not convey the kind of a lesson that similar disasters have done. such for instance, as the Triangle shirtwafst company horror did. In the last it turned out that absolutely no precautions against . had been taken and that no means of escape had provided.
 In the Ringhamton case, every reasonable pre- caution seems to been taken It be- Heved that there were plenty exits. A fire drill had been maintained. according to the dispatches until it had become 'monotonous." Undoubtedly the company complied with every regulation which the average fire department board would impose and had installed some additional ones- Though the terrible calamity proves that after all, the precautions inadequate, it is unlikely that censure will attach the management Measured by methods employed in similar, we'll regulated factories, there appears to have been no careIessness neglect on the part of the company
 Put the Bnghamton horror has taught a newer and more valuable lesson and that is that addi- tionaI guards must placed against fire in such establishments No multiplicity of exits from upper be sufficient Surrounded on all sides by inflammabe cotton material, there IS no chance for escape Even if a building were abso- Iuely fire-proof the presence of much combustible material n way of furnishings and fixtures is almost unavoidable. Means could, of course, be taken to prevent retard the spread ot flames from one floor another. Some regulation might prevent scattering of highly inflammapie material in q large about the floors and the accumulation O combustible refuse anywhere aoout the premises o become the depository or an unextinguished match a burning cigarette butt
 It is only suspected that a cigarette caused the Binghamton. well the Triangle fire But the very of the suspicion proves only that the cause might have been one of many others; that the possible were numerous and that many things are be guarded against
 An effect of this fire be still greater cautions by all other at present well-reguated factories The victims of Bnghamton died that other women and girls may live.

Suqqestion and Suicide

A Tucson man has died as a result of taking bi-chIoride mercury tablets by mistake That is the third Of that kind within two months The first was committed by a southern banker or. rather by his wife. who careessly left the tablets where her husband found them while looking for something else.
 Not long after in eastern city made a similar mistake since the case of the southern banker. which widely reported, there have been several suicides by means of b-chloride of mercury tablets. proving that there is a good deal in suggestion
 There is in fact so much that the management of the Associated Press not long ago issued an order to it's correspondents in reporting cases of suicide not to report the means employed. Many a person of suicidal tendency, who might not give way to it. who might have any wel-defined intention to destroy himself, needed only that little thing to make his intention definite.
 It might be supposed. though, that those who received their suggestion from the case of the southern banker, would been deterred from the use of the bi-chloride of mercury tablets by the daily accounts of the lingering and painful character of his death. But probably the original suggestion was overshadowing: it left no room for any other consideration.

POLITICIANS ONLY WERE VIGlLANT

RSbee I2eVieNV)
 The charter election held in Douglas last Saturday resulted the defeat of the proposed commission form government for that city Several months ago it voted in Douglas to adopt n commission form of government eliminate politics from the city government and thereafter handle the public business by the same methods es those in nse in the handling private business and enterprises A non partisan board of lree- holders was chosen to frame a city charter ana there was considerable enthusiasm what was regarded as a good prospect for bettering the clty government in Douglas However the fact fnallN dawned the political junta at the city nall that the new charter would surely eliminate polltlcal favoritism n conducting the municipal affairs ana the poIitcians-big little, old and young elected appointed and ambitious-fell afoul of that new charter while those who favored it failed to realize the power of the city hall machine and moved lIn to election day without special interest
 AS a result charter was defeated ana if the people of Douglas really want a commission form of government their city they must now undertake he work again.

GIVE AND LIVE

 To give

In the news item in Tuesdays is
sue of The Banner relative to a
North Adams automobilist careless
liz running into Town Clerk +. A.
Booths car, it appears that the
North Adams man grumbled because
several girls walking along the road
did not jump out of the way quick
enough TO suit him after he had loot
ed his HON. If this statement is cor
rect it represents one kind of road
hoggishness that is rather common.
Too many automobilists seem to
think that pedestrians have no rights
and must jump out of the road the
instant they hear an auto coming.
The writer OF this article was walk
ing along the Old Bennington roads
Sunday and met NJ. Booth and pos
sibly the car that bumped into him
Be that as it may, the Hoosick road
was alive with autos Sunday and
there were also many people on foot.
II was interesting to note the differ
ence in auto drivers in their treat
ment of pedestrians. Some of them
we're most courteous and gave the
people on foot reasonable space on
one side of the road. Occasionally
hcweve-, an auto driver of the hu-
man hog variety would refuse 10
swerve even in the slightest degree
for foot passengers. They could get
out o fthe road or get run over just
as they chose. This class of auto
drives treat carriages and their oc.
cupanis in the same way and also
other Automobiles rs much as they
dare Frank Gallagher while driv'
ing in Arlington Sunday got his car
raked by a road hog who rammed by
without waiting for n decent place
to pass and didn't sop to see how
much injury he had done. Just what
to do with this class of swine ism,
clea-. II probably wouldn't do much
good to hale them into court. Ly-
ing to them would be easy and
enough G,ubt would be raised TO
make conviction difficult. Some day
perhaps. they may run up against
the wrong man and get the good
sound thrashing which they deserve.
Every hog is supposed to get the
knife in due season.
