A gratifying evidence OF progress in
Vermont comes from the almost unani.
mously expressed opinion OF candidates
to the fleet that Vermont examinations
for admission OF law, medicine, pharmacy
and dentistry are about the st fest sim.
liar propositions in New England. The
required standard OF Efficiency in these
professions can scarcely be raised toe
high. Quackery ia any line OF work is a
public menace, especially is this true as
regards the lawyer, the dentist, the

The spectacle of Henry H. Rogers, the

in refusing to answer questions on the

the policy OF that gigantic trust from its

Speaking about the Trigger in
the woodpile,'' relative to the
first proposed amendment to the
state constitution, just the other
day the Pioneer received an ad-
vertisement advocating the
amendment, from a foreign adj
vertlsing agency. There was no
trace to show where the "ad" or
iginated, but some interests are
vitality enough interested in the
passage of the amendment to pay
big sums for advertising it in the
newspapers of the state; and
these interests are doing it under
the cover of an advertising
agency. The Pioneer refused
the advertisement; it does not
want that kind of business.

it? A very smooth scheme of
somebody's.
The Inheritance tax law is one
of the wisest pieces of Legislation
ever enacted, 1t provides for a
small tax on all lnheritances or
requests over and above $4,000
and Is directly in line with Presi-
dent Roosevelt's ideas on the
taxation subject. It puts a levy
on inherited wealth, on the easy
fortunes Haunted in the faces of
poorer people by the sons of rich
fathers.
The law was passed only after
the most bitter kind of a struggle.
All the moneyed interests in the
state opposed it. Used to dodg.
ing taxes during their lifetime
they did not like the idea of con-
trlbuting their share to the state,
ever after death. It was a hard
fight, but it was finally forced
through by the might of public
sentiment.
The law went into effect only a
little more than a year ago, but
already the state has realized a
handsome, amount from it, and
the effect has been felt this year
in the lessened state levy.
Now this law is to be repealed,
if the moneyed interests have
their way and the first proposed
amendment carries. 1T is OUR
DUTY TO OURSELVES, AS
THE COMMON PEOPLE OF
MINNESOTA, TO SEE THAT
THIS AMENDMENT is NOT
VOTED INTO LAW.

MAKING A FARCE OF PROSECUTION,

The Standard Oil trust fined
5000, a paltry $1,000!
One may we'll begin to wonder
if this boasted relentless prose-
cution of the most notorious law
breaking corporation in the land
is not a farce, after all.
Months, one might almost say
years, were spent in gathering
the evidence against the oil
octopus; untold energy and
money were spent in securing in
dictments and bringing the
oleaginous monster into court
and convicting it; and now as a
grand climax, it is fined S., 900.
The court might haye made the
fine SIS, 100000 under the law, and
even this large sum would have
hardly been noticed by the rich
est corporation on earth; but
would the court do a thing like
this? Horrors, no! $4,000 would
be a great plenty, and so $4,000
it was.
Five thousand dollars, the
yearly salary of a head clerk in
any one of It's thousands of
branch Offices. Ye gods! Any
one Of the score or so of m ulti-
millionaires who have gained
their tainted boards from Stand
ard Oil profits on rebates and
combinations in restraint of
trade, could drop the sum from
his vest pocket and miss it no
more than the average man
would miss a ten cent piece.
If this grand burlesque is to
be the elimination of all our
agitations and labors, and hopes
for curling the fire-nostriled
dragon, let US call off our further
prosecutions, and submit our.
selves quietly and resignedly to
the monsters bidding.

Not Only Do We Get Inspiration From
Nature, But Health as Well.
For people who are rundown and nerv-
GUS, who suffer from indigestion or dys-
pepsia, headache, biliousness, or torpid
liver, coated tongue with bitter taste in
the morning and poor appetite, it be-
comes necessary to turn to some tonic or
strengthened which will assist Nature
and help them to get on their , feet and
Is becoming more and more apparent that
Natures most valuable health giving
agents are to be found in forest plants
and roots.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. R.V. Pierce,
now consulting physician to the 1nvalids'
N. Y, discovered that by scientifically
extracting and combining certain medici-
nal principles from native roots, taken
from our American forests, he could pro-
duce medicine which was marvelOuSly
efficient in curing cases of blood disorder
and liver and stomach trouble as we'll as
many other. chronic, or lingering all.
Nsture's Vitality he named sGeiden nm Med
ical Discovery" It purifes the blood by
putting the stomach and liver into
healthy condition, thereby helping tho
digestion and assimilation of food which
feeds the blood. Thereby. it cures weak
stomach, indigestion, torpid liver, or bill
iousness, and kindred arrangements.
If you have coated tongue, with bitter
or bad taste in the morning, frequent
headaches, feel weak, easily tired, stitches
or pain in side, back gives out easily and
aches. belching of gas, constipation, or
irregular bowels, feel flashes OF heat al
ternating with chilly sensations or kim
dred symptoms, they point to derange-
ment Of your stomach, liver and kidneys,
which the cGolden Medical Discovery"
will correct more speedily and perma-
nently than any other known agent Con-,
tains no alcohol or habit forming drugs

liSh on wrapper.
The sole motive for substitution is to
permit the dealer to make a little moro
profit. He gains; you lose., Accept no sub
stitute for HGolden Medical Discovery.
Constipation causes and aggravates
many serious diseases. It is thoroughly
cured by DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

Two Monster Beetles.

The largest bug known to the old
world entomologists is the gigantic
Goliath beetle, which Is found along
the Kongo river in Africa. Goliath is
upward Of six inches in length from
the tip Of his nose to the neither end
of his hard shelled body and has
pair Of gauzy wings folded up under
his arms, either of which is as large
as lady's face veil. But Goliath is
pygmy when compared with the ele-
plant beetle Of Venezuela, an entomo-
logical giant which weighs nearly a
pound and which has a wing spread
equal to that Of a mallard duck. Both
of these bugs are rare. ..- .

THE PLOT. EXPOSED.

A few people throughout the
state have long suspected a
''nigger in the woodpile" some.
where about the proposed amend
ments to the state constitution,
to be voted on at the general
election this fall, and it has been
discovered at length. THE
FIRST PROPOSED AMEND

The present constitution pre-
vides: "That there may be by
law levied and collected tax up.
on all inheritances, devises, be.
quests, legacies and gifts of
every kind and description above

wipe this out, and leave the re-
