NOT PAYING POLITICAL DEBTS.
Chairman of Selectmen Thinks Town
House Needs New Janitor.

/ Editor RefOrmcr:--
Some discussion having arisen as to
the discharge of f. r. Thayer, janitor
of the town house, it is proper that the
citizens of the town should be told the
facts
When the new board of selectmen
was first elected, not having been as
citizens satisfied with the manner in
which Thayor kept the town house, con
sidering it, in fact, filthy, we called
Thaver into the selectmen s office and,
in a long talk, notified him that he
must do better or lose his place; that
we would give him a chance and hire
him from month to month on probation
For a time, he did better. Before | left
for England this year, | was Obliged
TO speak to him several times about
the dirty condition of the town building
and on my return | noticed no improve
ment and was informed there had been
none during the summer. In fact, the
present condition of the basement is
very unsanitary and will need a thor
OUCH cleaning out. The board, accord
ingly. voted to discharge him.
II. +. Harris has been an applicant
for the position for year should
change be made. He has been hired as
ianitor to commence work November |
and his services will be retained only
so long as he is good and faithful
ianitor.
Last spring Mr. Rowe applied for the
position. His application was consid-
cred and it was decided not to secure
his services.
The selectmen are not using their of
fee to pay political debts. The chair
man of the board himself was not pres
ent in this country during the recent
active campaign. Democrat or Repub-
lean, they intend to treat all alike and
to act as they believe for the interests
of the town.

title to any real estate to ne settled
finally whenever it passes through
the probate court. in accordance with
the methods of the TOrrens system.
We have not space to 30 into the
matter in detail. Suffice it to say that
the TOrrens land system does away
entirely with the examination of titles,
absolutely removing every cloud. This
eliminates the necessity for an abStra ct
in the future and saves the sometimes
enormous expense of examining titles
where IL mortgage is to be placed up
on the land or the title transferred.
The system is not popular with alb
StracterS or LAWYERS, and for the same
reason that Paul was not popular with
the silversmiths at Ephesus, because
he hurt their business of making silver
ShrineS to Diana.
Eventually we think it will be adopt
ed by all the states of the West. In
aSmuch as in one genera ton all land
titles pass through the court, the
foundation has been laid for its per-
manent adoption by the state Of Illi-
nOis, and will no doubt be followed by
other progressive states. When the
system once adopted it is as easy to
transfer Il title or put on a mortgage
as it is to write an endorsement On
the back of a note or check, the evil
dence of title being in similar form in
the office of the county recorder.

Remedies for Ereckles.

Freckles are the bane of a wOman's
life at this season, when the March
winds do their best to ruin the texture
color and general beauty of her skin,
and she would be less than feminine
did she not seek to Obviate this very
trying and disfiguring blemish
y very Old-fashiOned remedy, one in
use by our grandmOthers, was wash
ing the face with a solution of weak
gin and water, and it is said to be
just as efficaciOus today. Another old
remedy and one that is said to work
wonders in Graduating freckles, is the
application of cucumber cream. The
best way of applying this is to heat a
towel very hot and hold to the face
before applying the cream, which can
be put on with piece of soft cloth.
Heating the skin aids the assimia-
ton of the cream by the pores and
facilitates a cure. Rub the cream on
lightly and allow to remain for five
minutes and then remove by wiping
off with soft cloth. Then apply
powder and with a puff or rabbits
foot brush all that is visible away and
the skin will be ready to stand the on
slaughts of spring winds and zepnyrs
with no disastrous effects.
Cucumber cream is most delightful
toilet preparation to use, and one that
is valuable because of its effect on the
skin. 1t removes sunburn and keeps
the skin in good condition the year
round. 1t can easily be made at home
Take six ounces of sweet almond oil,
and when warmed add the cucumber,
prepared as follows: Four fair sized
cucumbers well washed with the peel
left on and cut into small squares;
cook slowly for four hours and then
strain. When strained add one ounce
of white wax to six ounces of the
strained liquid with a little spermaceti,

One of the best fashioned RENE
dies for identifying the skin is the
squeezing of half a lemon into half a
tumbler of milk, which forms curds
not unlike buttermilk in composition.
1t is used instead of water in the
morning. and the face is to be bathed

said to be good for greasy skin. For

means that the state regards herself
as the ultimate owner of all lands
within her borders; and if you trace
your title back to its original source
you will find that it is based upon a
patent or grant from the Government
In other words. the state has always
claimed to be the sovereign owner of
her lands, but has undertaken to con-
fer title thereto upon certain of her
citizens subject to what she terms her
right of eminent domain. This title
conferred upon her citizens has never
been a free gift, but has always been
in return for what the state regarded
as a fair and valuable consideration
usually in money, but sometimes in
blood and service for her development
and defence. In this way our worthy
citizens have been induced to devote
their lives. their energies, and their
substance to the up-building OF the
state. They have repaid in taxes many
times over the value of the lands
granted by the state, and they have
made the state what she is.
What the State Should Have Done
Therefore they had the right to eX-
pect and demand that their titles
should be safeguarded and guaranteed
by the state; that she should pass
such laws as would enable them to
enjoy their possessions in security;
that she should pass such laws as
would enable them to deal with their
property freely; that she should pass
such laws as would relieve them from
all unnecessary expenses in transfer
ring title; that she should pass such
laws as would put an end to any I'M
just forfeiture of any mans land; and
that she should pass such laws as
would operate as a guaranty of all
titles to lands that might be bought
under the law for that purpose.
What the State Has Not Done-It
is clear that the state should have done
these things. 1t is equally clear that
she has not done one of them. Land
titles have never been Safe-guarded
and guaranteed by the state She has
frequently granted the same land to
different parties and accepted taxes
from both. Did you ever hear of any
such taxes being returned? Owners
have never been entitled to enjoy their
lands with anything like perfect Sc
curity. because our laws have never
afforded any means of establishing
absolute title against all the world.
The state has simply allowed owners
to record evidences of their title and
has never permitted them to register
the title itself The cumbrOus meth
DDS. the delays. the costs of trans
ferring title to lands are notorious.
Compare these difficulties with the
ease, the quickness, the cheapness, by
which the title to personal property
of all sorts may be transferred, and
you will realize how your freedom has
been curtailed in the enjoyment of
real estate. And when you come to the
