"TheNincrease in expenses Of the
courts is large one. but 1t can be ac-
counted fop On the greatly increased
litigation in a few counties, and in GER
tain changes In the method Of conduct
ing the business OF the courts. In 1882
the fee system held full sway and the
court expense noted for that year
shows only the amount the State Treas
urer was compelled to pay after the
various fees had been exhausted IN the
different counties. Under the present
law an fees are paid into the State
Treasury and the court expenses are
paid by orders Of the State Auditor,
consequently the amount paid out by
the State Treasurer Is much larger than
under the old system, but the actual In
crease in expense is not so great as ap.
pears at first glance.
.'The increase not specifically ae-
couEted for in the above figures con
sists Of the natural changes in eonnec
ton with State affairs. Salaries have
been increased in some cases but the
aggregate is not large; new commits
sions and boards have been established
but the expense oceasioned by these Is
small and it may be rairly considered
that their value to the people Of the
State is above the expenditure in

The advertising agent of Yermonts
Democracy would doubtless attempt to
explain all this away by saying that a
tax is a tax, and that the people In
reality pay the bills no matter whether
State expenses are paid by means Of
corporation taxes Gas at present. or BY
means Of a direct State tax fas in the
pasD. Is there a man In Vermont who
believes he could ride, or have bis
freight carried on railroad more
cheaply II the State expenses were
paid directly ont Of his pocket instead
Of BY the railroads, as al presentf We
wonder who will answer.
Vermont Republicans have guided the
government Of Vermont for half cen
fury and after long and hard struggle
with financial problems Of magnitude
they have reached the long sought for
goal, and today the people are seeing
the entire machinery of the State man
aged carefully and honestly and WITH
OUT A STATE TAX.

The above fair and candid statement
OF trusted officials will hardly be dis

II is IN striking contrast with the bald
and unqualified assertion made by the

We might go on through the whole
list, and perhaps it may be well to put
the knife to some Of the appropriations
mentioned. THE Republican platform
has plank upon which this can and
viii be done ii it is FOR the best interests
of the State). Some of the Increases
mentioned above originated with Demo
Gratis, some with Republicans. none
were strictly party measures, and all
were paid WITHOUT A STATE TAX.
Finally it may be said that the ex-
penses of a commonwealth in these
latter days are bound to increase. The
trend of civil government in Vermont in
particular is in the direction of the
State assuming the burden of the towns,
especially the smaller ones, and this in
all probability viii continue, for what
town In Vermont will raise an objection
so long as it is done WITHOUT A
STATE TAX.

II would be idle to assert that any
voter in Vermont viii advocate going
back to the town system in caring for
the insane. An example Of d single
town will illustrate the folly Of such Il
course. In 1882 Chelsea maintained

A Million soc. Bottle.r Free.

Any drug that kills germs is a poison, and 1t cannot be taken internally. Every physician knows that medicine is almost helpless in any germ disease.
 Liquozone Is a germicide so certain, that we publish on every bottle an offer of $1, 900 for a disease germ that 1t cannot kill The reason is that germs are vege- tables; and Liquozone-the very life of an animal-is deadly to vegetable mat tee Animals live by oxygen; vegetables by carbonic acid gas. And the life of one is in excess deadly to the other.
 It is this fact that has enabled the dts coverers of Liquozone to solve this great est problem that medical men ever met. It has given us a product essential to the human body-a product which can go wherever the blood goes, so that no germ can escape it; yet a product which no germ can, resist. It Is apparent that the results are inevitable, for no germ dis ease can exist after the germs are killed

Firct Bottle Free.

To let all people know Liquozone we are spending $5OoOOO to give a million bottles away-one to each of a million sick ones. We do this to let the product itself prove what 1t can do. This seems the best way, the quickest way, to con vince you.
 If you need Liquozone. and have never used 1t. please send us the coupon below. We will then send you an order on your druggist for regular 50c bottle, and will pay your druggist ourselves for it. This applies only to the first bottle, of course; not to those who have written us before.
 The acceptance of this offer places you under no obligations whatever. We shall never ask you to buy Liquozone; do as you wish when you try 1t. But-for your own sake-let us show you what this prod uct is. Let Us prove. at our expense, what it does. Certainly we would not buy bottle and give 1t away if there was any doubt of results. You who want those results will send us the coupon to- day.

S1PAN'S CASE. The Japanese Minister to the United States States It in a Notable
 Magazine Article.

St6SC8 9taSO1 ~ AAA ts 4NOSeNDNS
 Magazine Article.
 The Japanese minister to the United States. Mir. K. Takahira contributes to the April Worlds Work. the authorita- tive statement of Japan's case under the title of What Japan is Fighting For. !" Among other things Mir Takahira says: "One fact should be strongly emphasiz- ed. The government of Japan has dis avowed in the most formal and solemn manner in the reply to china's declara- ton of neutrality, the purpose of acquir- ing any part of Chinas territory or of occupying it to the detriment of Chi nese sovereignty. In an equally binding manner 1t has declared its willingness to respect the lawful exercise of the rights which Russia had acquired in Man churia. But 1t could not close it's eyes to the fact plainly demonstrated by events in the immediate past that Russia seem ed to have another object in view than the legitimate development of the inter- ests acquired under those rights. The course of those events plainly pointed to designs on Russie's part threatening the principle of equal opportunity for the development of the interests of all the Powers in Manchuria, and tending even to endanger the territorial integrity of China. MT. Takahira contends that Rus sia was not willing to bind herself in any manner regarding the Independence and territorial integrity of China. He also declares that Japan's desire has been to protect her important treaty rights and commercial interests in the prov inees affected by the war.
 Concerning Korea the minister writes: "The independence of Korea, not alone from a commercial and industrial stand point. but also for strategical reasons, Is of the gravest importance to the we'll being of our people and the safety of our country. The power that controls Korea can not only restrict our progress along lines of peaceful enterprise upon which

Before uolng this We tested the product for two years. through physicians and hospitals, In this country and others. We proved it m thousands of the most difficult cases ootalnaole' including every disease which was. then called incurable.
 This price was paid because Liauozone VIII do more for sick humanity than all the skill in the world can accomplish without 1t. It will cure more sickness. end more suffering, and save more lives than all the drlgs combined. And now that this fact is generally known. we oc- cupy four laboratories. with p floors and goo employees. to supply the demand for Liquozone. and we are 20 carloads behind on demands for 1t today.

Not Medicine.

Liquozone is not made by compoiindjng acids or drugs; nor Is there any alcohol in 1t. Its virtues are derived solely from gas-largely from oxygen gas-by a pro- cess requiring immense apparatus and 1l days time. Its results are due to the fact that a little of the liquid represents the virtues of an immense volume of the gas.
 Liquozone is the result of a process which, for more than 20 years. has been the constant subject of scientic and chemical research. It forms vitalizing tonic with which no other known prod uct can compare: It is the best thing in fha world for you.

Germ DiSeareS.

The diseases in this list are known to be due to germs or their toxins, and med icine does not apply to them. for medicine cannot kill inside germs.
 All that medicine can do in germ trou- bles is to act as a tonic. aiding Nature to overcome the germs Such results are in- direct and uncertain. They are, as many of you know by experience, always doubt ful and often impossible. They depend on the patients condition.
 Liquozona goes direct to the cause of the trouble and destroys it. We have often seen it end, in a week, diseases which had resisted medicine for years And 1t cures diseases which medicine never cures. In any stage of any disease in this list the results are so certain that We will gladly send to any patient who asks 1t an absolute guaranty.

much of the future prosperity of the na- ton depends. but can also keep us up0p the defensive and thereby impose the heavy burden of incessant watchfulness and constant preparation. We have no desire to interfere with the independence or the territorial integrity of our neigh bors. and no purpose, as we have shown conclusively to obstruct the development of the commercial and industrial inter ests of other nations within their tertf- tories. But the preservation. of thNIr political existence, especially the main- tenance of the independence of Korea. is another matter. and when that is threatened motives of an imperative na- ture demand that our nation lshaIf inter vene or else run the certain risk of jeo- pardizing it's most vital interests"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-04-03

The virtue of Liquozone lies in the fact that it does what oxygen does.
 Oxygen is the vital part of air. It is Natures great tonic, the very source of vitality, the most essential element of life. It is oxygen that turns the blue blood to red in the lungs. It is oxygen that eliminates the waste tissue and builds up the new. Oxygen is the nerve food-the blood food; and every function of life so depends on 1t that we could not live three minutes without 1t. And an excess of oxygen Is certain destruction to every form of disease germ.
 But oxygen is a gas, and unstable. An excess of oxygen cannot be held in the blood. Liquozone is a liquid, with all it's virtues in permanent form and concen- trated. It goes into the stomach, into the bowels. and into the blood, tc- go wher- ever the blood goes. That is the secret of its power. -sf

Woman and Literature.

There is at least difference of opinion in regard to the alleged distaste of wo- men for severe and systematic reading. One critic in the National Review as- serts that neither for pleasure nor on principle do they study books which would cultivate their minds. and give them broad and stable views of life. Another makes the comforting state- ment that the good, or. as they are call ed, the solid" books, taken by women from English circulating libraries are in the proportion of two to hve-a very creditable average. M. Ernest Quentin Bauchart has shown us, in Les Femmes Bibliophiles, that many rare and beau- tiful volumes were for two centuries col lected and treasured by French ladies, from Margaret of Valois to Marie An toinette. How far the pleasures of collector merge into the pleasures of a student is always delicate point to decide; but Mir. Andrew Lang is of the opinion that some of these ladies loved their libraries, even to the reading point. Books and art" he says with happy tolerance, were probably more to Ma dame de Pompadour's liking than the di- versions by which she beguiled the te- dium of Louis XIV; and many time she would rather have been quiet with her plays and novels than engaged in conscientiously conducted, but distasteful revels" La Duchesse de Montpensier- La Grande Mademoiselle was by no means the wisest of women; but the choice does credit to her taste for amuse- ment. The romances of her age were shade less diverting than mathematical Agnes Reppner, in Harper Bazar.

The Cotton Boil Weevil.

The ravages of the Mexican cotton boil weevil have had serious effect on the cotton crop in the United States for the past few years, and there has been a number of important Investigations beaEs ing on this su -ject carried on by the Di- vision of Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture. The result of these has recently been incorporated in a bulletin for farmers issued by the department While it does not seem at present likely that the boil weevil will ever be entirely exterminated before its ravages will be repeated. yet 1t Is quite possible to adopt methods of cultivation that should result in crops whose pro- fits will compare with those of other States where precautions and care in cul- tIvation must be observed. These modi- fications in modes of cultivation which are recommended to the farmer have re- suited from careful study of the life history and habits of the boil-weeyil, and have been tested on large scale In act ua. practice. Brieiy summarized, the recommendations include early planting, thorough cultivation. rows as far apart as Is possible, and a thorough thinning out of the plants, destruction by plough
