BRATrLEBoRo, FRIDAY. DEC. Ia, 100
INDICT MR.. HOWARD.

The rumors that Railroad Commits
sioner Howard had reasons for resign
ing were not unfounded. The report
of the legislative investigating COM
mittee shows that he persistently graft
ed on the state treasury, charging up
To expenses several hundred dollars
that he had no right to receive. On
6s occasions he took from his hired
men. his children or his brother in-law
receipts for money which he never paid
out, filing the receipts under oath as
vouchers for money expended in the
transactions of official business. Sever
al little trips outside the state were
paid out of the Vermont treasury, as
were also Mr.. Howard s time and eX-
penses while attending the republican
state convention. Every day when
away from home he telephoned home
on private matters and claimed to the
auditor that the tolls were on state
business. Fuller c. Smith, chairman
of the board, was not so grasping as Mr..
Howard but he attempted to do the
state on a claim for time and expenses
while attending the railroad commas
sioners' convention in Birmingham,
Alabama. This bill, however, was pro-
perly disallowed by the auditor, al
though the disalowance does not de-
tract A whit from Mr.. Smith s in
tent in the matter. Henry $. Bingham,
the third member of the board, escap-
ed with a pretty clean bill of health,
which is remarkable when it is cOnsid-
cred what a contagious disease graft
ing is. The investigating committee
recommends that action be brought
against Mr. Howard to recover the mon
ey which he extracted from the state
treasury, "together with such further
proceedings as the evidence warrants. -
If there ever was a clearer case of OBJ
tanning money under false pretences we
have vet to hear of it. The state cannot
afford to be satisfied with a return of
the loot; it should bring criminal action
against the looter.

OBJECTION TO MR.. CoRTELYoU.

The president S recommendation OF
Postmaster General George B. Cortel-
you to be secretary of the treasury to
succeed Leslie NJ. Shaw is receiving
the expected disapproval of the press
throughout the country. Mr.. Cortel-
you IS action as a member of the re-
publican national committee in col
Letting campaign funds from trusts and
corporations in 1904 and accepting
$l4S,702 of life-insurance policy hold
er's money for use in campaign pur-
poses is being cited as reason enough
why he should not be given the re-
sponsible financial position for which
he has been recommended. Mr. Cor
telyou s opposition to the president S
plan to return the insurance money to
the treasures from which it was I'M
lawfully taken is also used as an ar
gument against his fitness. In COM
menting upon the matter the New
York World says:
The president has made a blunder,
but it is not irreparable. There is still
time to withdraw Mr.. Cortelyou IS nomi-
nation and substitute that of a man who
is not chairman of the republican ma
tional committee and who has never
been implicated in political scandal
that shocked the moral sense of the
American people.
The nation must not have at the head
of it's finances a collector of campaign
contributions from banks and great
financial institutions, who in his Off
cial capacity would be brought into
intimate relations with either the con-
tributors to his fund or the financiers
who refused to contribute.
The Springfield Republican objects
to Mr.. Cortelyou rs appointment on the
ground that he has no special qualifica-
tions for the post, summing up its case
as follows:
The present naming of George B. Cor
telyou to the post is obviously not in
great harmony with precedent or with
the fitness of things. He did good
work, we believe, in organizing the new
department of commerce and labor, to
which cabinet position he has come by
way of the Office of stenographer to the
president, and then private secretary
and he has given the post-otiice depart
ment a business-like administration.
But what special qualifications has he
for the post of secretary of the treas
ury? If he has ever given any atten-

A Thoughtful Argument.
(LondonderrY Sifterl

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature to charter brewery COM
pany for Burlington. Only one, mind
you, is all they are asking to be char
tered this year; but if one brewery can
be established in the state whatreasona-
BILE excuse can be given for not char
tering a dozen brewery companies n
1908. This one charter asked for is an
entering wedge Don't let it enter.
1t is difficult enough to regulate the
liquor trafic when there are no brew
cries to contend with, but how much
harder the fight would necessarily be
if the fountain heads for the supply
of liquor were close at hand. Vermont
cannot afford to grant this charter.

A NOVEL COMBINATION.

A somewhat novel combination of Of

. Weekly payments are now assured
and there is in the legislature a bill
providing for the exemption from trus-
tee process of $40 of a mans salary.
If the latter bill becomes a law it will
behoove merchants to give special at
tention to their credit system. However.
if merchants are discreet they will find
the weekly payment system Of as much
benefit to them as to the working man,
and there will be little need of resort
to the trustee process of collecting slow
debts.

No Need of Direct Tax.
Rutland News)

According to the estimates of the
appropriation committee of the
house of representatives, it will re-
quire 1901 900 for the support of
Vermont government for the ensuing
two years. This indicates somewhat
the extent of business done by the COM
monwealth. And the best of it is
that the expenses of the state will be
borne without the necessity of any di-
rect tax upon the people.

A Venerable Vermont Editor.
(Springfeld Republican,

Col George G. Benedict, who has
been editor of the Burlington (Vt.)
Free Press for more than SO years
reaches his s0th birthday today. He
served with credit in the Civil war, and
his lasting memorial will be found in
the two volumes of his work as military
historian of Vermont. He has also
published Vermont at Gettysburg and
Army Life in Virginia. His accurate
knowledge of matters relating to tho
Civil war has long Illuminated the
pages of the Free Press, and he is as
well an authority on the history of
Vermont and the Champlain valley.
Col. Benedict is still in the editorial
harness, with intellect undated and
enthusiasm undimmed. He has long
been honored by his city and state.

Although the bills providing for the
establishment of municipal courts in
Bellows Falls and Swauton brought up
in the legislative morgue, the bill pro-
viding for the establishment Of such a
court in Brattleboro still lives Con-
sidering that Brattleboro is Brattleboro
this result is not surprising Whether
or not the bill still retains its original
provision in regard to the emolument of
the Judge, by which that official was
TO receive $500 and fees, we are unable
to state. But there has been introduced
in the legislature from the Judicial com
mittee measure doing away with the
fee-system in existing municipal courts,
and it would not be surprising if the
Brattleboro court bill were made
sistent with this bill. If so the legis-
lature should take care that the judge S
salary is not made too high The judi
ciary committee, in its revision meas
ures. sets the salaries of the municipal
Judges in Barre City, st, Adams City,
and Montpelier at $1,000 each. Such
salary for a Brattleboro judge would
be extravagant in view of the compare
lively little work a municipal court
in this town would have to do. A sal
airy of $500 is a great plenty

A STEADY DRAIN
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body
Make You Ill, Languid and De-
pressed

MAKE you Ill, bdHgulu anu De-
pressed.
Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage OF life
giving albumen from the blood into
the urine, and the substitution of poi
sonous uric acid that goes broadcast
through the system, sowing the seeds of
disease. Loss of albumen causes weak
ness, languor, depression. Uric poison
ing causes rheumatic pain, nervousness,
nausea, cricks in the back, gravel and
kidney stones The proper treatment
is a kidney treatment, and the best
remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills. Great
Brattleboro cures prove it.
John Larson of Estey street, corner
of Chestnut, Brattleboro, VT, says. ~
have been troubled for years with kid
ney complaint. At times | had severe
pains across my back and through my
kidneys. There was an annoying weak
ness of the kidneys and the secretions

lame and sore. / could not sleep well
at night and in the morning felt tired
and sore all over. A friend advised
me to try Doan S Kidney Pills, sold by

The postmaster general has almost
doubled post-office box rents in this
city to take effect January l. A small
matter, perhaps, but every little raise
of this kind made out of the pockets
of the patient public helps to pay the
enormous deficit in the post-office f.

Seth Low, a former mayor of New
York, has set Vermont tax dodgers
an example they will not initiate
they are not that kind. He has just
found that one piece of personal pro-
perty that he supposed was exempt
was technically taxable. The city
made no claim and the assessors said
the property was exempt. He took
eminent legal advice and was satisfied
that it was taxable He therefore sent
the city treasurer his check for $27 1897.
Thank God, America has one honest tax

Postoflice employees all over the coun-
try will be greatly pleased by the re-
concentrations made in the report OF
Postmaster General George b. Cortel-
you. He says that efficiency of the
postal service is greatly impaired by
the constant resignation of employees
who resign to obtain better wages else
where, and makes the following gem
eral recommendation in regard to sal
aries:
The employees of this service have
right to expect that their chosen
vocation shall yield a sufficient income
to meet current expenses and provide
a little in addition for the needs of the
family in times of sickness and mis-
fortune. The increased cost of living,
together with the multiplying respon-
sibilities which result from the phe-
nomenal growth of the postal service,
fairly entitle many of its clerks and
other employees to an increase of salary.
Especially do the foregoing comments
apply to postotiice clerks, railway mail
clerks, city carriers and rural carriers,
many of whom are, in my judgment,
very inadequately compensated. A COM
prehensive plan for the readiustment
of salaries of postoffice clerks and city
letter carriers will be presented in the
report of the first assistant postmaster
general.
