FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and Pub
Tuesday, March 10, 1915.

South SALISBURY is some what STIR
red up over the question of a village
charter. A few progressive people
of the village want some added public
utilities including electric lights and
sidewalks, and possibly, later on, sew
ers, enlarged water supply and fire
protection. AS a general proposition
The Banner does not believe in village
charters. In this respect the town OF
Bennington is horrible example. We
have in the town of Bennington eight
cen seectmen and village trustees,
thirteen school commissioners, five
road commissioners and other oaiciels
in proportion. 1t splits things up and
scatters responsibility to point that
makes it difficult to secure the best
results. In the opinion of The Banner
Bennington would be better off if her
three villages and two graded school
districts were abolished and the town
government, chosen by all the people.
made the one responsible body in all
the affairs of the whole town. There
are probably seventy-iive to a humid
red other Vermont towns in the same
fix. Still there are circumstances that
alter cases and the situation OF South
SALISBURY may be one of these. The
village of South SALISBURY is an ex
ceedingly valuable part of the town OF
Salisbury. 1t provides good part
of the grand list of the town; it fur
nishes a market for farm produce; It
gives employment to men from other
parts OF the town; it keeps in town
some of Shaftsbury's best citizens.
For these reasons the rest of tho town
should be fair to Socth SALISBURY and
the village needs some things that
the rest OF the town can get along
without Just as the daughter of fam
lily needs some things that would be
superfuous for her father. The rural
voters of the town of SALISBURY arc
in the ma jority and the responsibility
is on them They should direct the
town officials TO provide street lights
for the village not only because it is
the decent and honorable and public
spirited thing to do but because it is
good business judgment and. TO main
tain and support all the units that 80
TO make up town. We do not know
the history of the controversy that has
arisen in SALISBURY and have heard
only meager reports concerning it but
il would seem that the voters OF
Salisbury should be willing to do
their duty by the thriving village Of
South SALISBURY without forcing it
to seek separate municipal organiza
tion. Let the issue be tried out fairly
in special meeting called for that
purpose. If the town should refuse
then the people of the village are amp.
ly justified in asking for a village char
ter and the legislature should give it
even if two thirds of the voters OF the
town of SALISBURY were opposed.

DETAILS OF THE ATTACK ON

The reports adds that the white flag
was run up on the Dresden and word
was sent to the British commander
that the attack was being made in
territorial waters. AS that failed to
stop the attack, the German captain
blew up his own ship. When the Ber-
man captain and crew reached Valpa-
ralso they were interned. The Ger
man government protested that they
should be given their liberty since they
were to be held in the same category
as shipwrecked saalers but the Chill
can foreign Office replied that the
Germans were beirE interned for vi
olation of neutrality in overstaying the
time limit given them for repairs
1t is understood that the British
government already has shown a dis
position to make reparation to Chile
for the incident, although what form
the reparation will take is not known
