WHERE THEY MADE SILVER Our OF
Dew. The Portland Advertiser in an ac-
count of "old" days, says: Although
the strong men of that day did not have
oil wells or silver mines to make their
millions out of, yet they had something
equally fascinating; for an old resident
relates an account of company formed
in 1903 or 1904 to make silver out of dew.
Some of the venerable gentlemen in knee
breeches and buckles put on their spec
tacles and concluded that the story told
them by smooth spoken Frenchman
must be true; in other words, they
had a "bonanza," and formed a COM
pany. Some of the party were sent to
Freeport to gather the dew; they re-
turned, it is said, with supply, but it
would not pan out well; whereupon the
Frenchman asked what time it was gath
cred. Upon being told that it was taken
at dead Of night, he declared that it
must be harvested at certrain hour in
the morning. The men made another
trial and put the liquid into the pot as
| directed. The fire was started to boil
the dew' ana the eager eyes OF the STOCK
holders peered into the steaming vessel
to see the silver. The Frenchman was

rent, wouldn't the Free Press think 1 was
weak minded IL | gave twenty dollars to
the landlord and then tried to make the
public believe that | was helping the tenant
and not the landlord? II | must help the
tenant through the landlord, then l must
require the landlord to give him credit for
it, The same in this question of taxes. If
we must help the mortgageor through the
mortgagee, then make our legal rate Of in
terest five per cent, and thus accomplish
the object. But our friend says "a large
proportion of mortgages escape assessment"
Very true And to avoid that our learned
editor of the Free Press says stop taxing
them entirely. Because some men will
steal pass a law that stealing is not a crime
and thus avoid criminals. | suggest that
we take the tax off the mortgageor and re-
quire him to tell the amount he Is mort
gagged and give the name of MORTGAGE, as a
condition that he go free. How many mort
gagees would then put the tax in their own
pocket? would say to the venerable Free
Press, your argument is "too thin " to be
taken in even by the most ignorant farmer.
Let us hear from other friends of the farmer,
and not sheep in wolves clothing.

The Supreme Court.


M. Editor.-The statistics of business
done in our supreme court, published by
you elsewhere, shows conclusively that we
now need only five judges. The full bench
should therefore be promptly reduced to
that number, and the state be districted ac-
cordingly. Then the salaries of the judges
should be moderately increased-say from
$500 to $500 each, and these officials should
be forbidden to accept any favors from any
railroad or other corporation, in the way of
passes or other gratuitous services not &C
corded to all other citizens. If these cor
porations owe the state debt of gratitude
FOR its liberality towards them, as Governor
Smith suggested in his testimony in the
Maloney case, the state should devise some
way to receive this debt, especially if it has
a money value, other than through the
hands of judges who are liable to sit in iudg-
ment over such corporations. The state
should now and henceforth adopt the policy
of calling into her service in high places the
very best talent SHE has, and then paying
fairly for such work as she requires 1t is
poor policy to economic in the matter of
brains and capacity. But not dollar
should be squandered on sinecures or super
numeraries Let the Legislature seek out
and lop off all profitless expenditures, too
many of which still exist, and then the
state can well afford to pay fairly for good
service where it is needed. Vox PoPULI.

Double TaxatiOn---Again.

Mr.. EditOr:-Please allow me small space
n THE WATCHMAN in which to add few
words on the double taxation question. 1t
IN somewhat amusing, If a common sense
man can be amused with such foolishness,
70 read the argument of the Free Press in
trying to show up "point" that is not
there. 1t reminds me of man who sees a
great many "snakes " and tries to make
others see them. If the Free Press is so
anxious to favor the farmer who is paying
taxes on property that he does not own,
why not take 1t directly off from such prop
erty, instead of going such a roundabout
way as to take it off the mortgage and then
imagine that it will come off the property
mortgaged through the channel of lower
rate of interest? am paying taxes on eleven
hundred dollars of real estate that under
q mortgage for that amount. One of the
Free Press near neighbors holds the mort
gage. Surprising a law is passed taking
the tax off this mortgage, can sensible
man believe for a moment that my rate OF
interest would be less than six per cent
Every farmer who has had any experience
in these things will answer emphatically
No! If wanted to help tenant pay his

Thursday, October %. - Two BOYS were
disputing at Coolville last week and calling
each other names and they had clinch. One
of them, Frank Heath, aged some eighteen or
nineteen years, drew his knife across
the neck or throat of boy by the name
of Day. This did no damage, but in the
ARRAY Days hand was cut but not
seriously injured. - There is some ex-
element occasioned by the absence of the
one Will Martin. Rumor says he left Hale
Davis one evening several weeks since ex
pecting to return that night and has not
been seen since. 1t is supposed that he had
quite sum of money with him and went
for the purpose of collecting more. Some
tell of seeing blood at the Hubbard place,
so called. Report says pair of bloody boots
has been found near there; others claim
that an unpleasant scent was noticeable at a
swamp near the place. Some are confident
there has been foul play others say it would
be like him to run away. Some claim that he
was carried by parties from Washington to
Barre depot: others say those parties claim
they did not carry him and have not seen
him. Perhaps it would not be prudent to
call names of any one except the miss
ing,man. No investigation has been had in
the matter, but it has been considerably
talked of within two weeks.

A ROW of pearls glistening through coral
lips IL certainly pleasing object; but a
row of discolored, bespecked teeth in any
mouth at all is a grievous drawback Add
to this that such set of teeth is usually ac-
companied by impure breath, and one can
scarcely imagine anything more objection
able. SOZODONT, the great purifier of
the breath and whitener of the teeth, OBJ
viates this state of the mouth completely,
rescuing its dental occupants from destruc-
ton, and counteracting the influence upon
the enamel of acid secretions in the mouth.

Equal Taxation for Repairing
Highways.

Mr.. EditOr:-It is with much pleasure that
| note the movement in the present legisla-
ture to have the highway taxes paid in
money. 1t seems to me to be the only way
to secure equality of taxation and efficiency
and economy in the repair of our highways
and bridges. The old system of a labor
tax is failure as it is generally carried out.
1t takes lots of time for a surveyor to call
out and organize his gang of men, and then
in the most cases he has a motley crew of
"good, bad and Indifferent, feeble old men,
green, gristly boys and shirks of every shape
who are put on an equality with the young
man in the prime and vigor of his strong
manhood. And then the teams are apt to
be mismated for the occasion, and the tools
poor, and the consequence and result of this
system are poor roads and waste of time
Now one mans money is just as good as
another's, and | am satisfied, after thirty
years experience both as highway surveyor
and street commissioner, that | can do as
much good to the roads with fifty dollars in
money as ] can with seventy-tive dollars in
labor tax. And the poor man will not be
injured thereby, for he will get the work to
do and he paid according to what he works,
not according to what he shirks. Gentle
men of the legislature, let us have this
much needed reform, and let as hare ii nor
while we are living.
