more precious treasure than all the gold

SOME of those persons who think
they have fooled the people by pass
ing certain socalled tax reform meas
ures-which in reality seen to put
greater burdens upon the farmers and
small taxpayers-are seeking to falsi-
fly the position of Hon. John j. Corn
well, the Democratic candidate for
Governor of this State. Mr.. Corn
wells record is one OF which he and
his party are Justly proud. AS a
member of the State Senate he assist
ed in drafting and actively supported
an anti-tru bill modelled after the
excellent Texas law, but Republican
opposition killed the measure. He
pushed VITA all his energy bill levy
ing a tax upon the gross incomes Of
expires. companies. which was opposed
by Republican leaders and was vetoed
by Republican Governor after 1t had
been passed by the Legislature. He
has consistently and persistently
voted for every proposition that would
add additional revenue to the income
of the State treasury, without laying
heavy hand upon any particular in
dustrY or any particular class. We
quote from the Hampshire Review,
and that paper, by authority, further
says:
Nr. Cornwell, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor, is in favor Of taxing
coal, oil and gas, as he is in favor of tax
ing al classes and species OF property,
tangible and intangible, but he is not in
favor of taxing the labor that produces
and develops those products. He has
always been in favor of the reduction of
the State tax 10 the lowest possible
point and the abolition Of it, if possible
and practicable. During his first term
in the Senate he offered resolution in
quiring into the condition of the States
finances, with a view of reducing the
State tax five cents on the 500 at that
time.

Seems as though his greatest trou-

Many people would be surprised to
witness the number of people calling
upon and recounting without request
the great benefit derived from the
use Of these medicines. But to the
advertiser it appears to be only an
every minute occurrence. Concern
ing this feature of the business he said:
ITO an outsider the many calls that
l receive after my first few nights in
a city from people who have taken
Plant Juice Remedies and have come
to tell me what it has done, may seem
to be very unusual, but ever since the
introduction of this medicine have
been going along the same experience
in every city that have visited, and
therefore it occurs to me as matter
of course. A sick man or sick wo-
man who has been benefited or made
well again in a comparatively short
time, is the most grateful person IN
the world. Probably you don't know
it, but about nine-tenths of the dis
eases with which the human beings
are afflicted are due primarily and
fundamentally to stomach trouble.
The stomach is, practically speaking,
