The constitutional amendment which
Mississippians are considering, to shut
negro children out of the public schools
when their fathers do not pay their poll
taxes, bears family resemblance to
the Vermont law DISTINGUISHING non
taxpayers. 1t s another outworking of
that illogical streak of human nature
which prompts man to "cut off his
own nose to spite his face Two of
the things most desirable for the good of
this country are that every child should
90 to school and that every citizen
should exercise his right of franchise.

Mr.. Pratt's Statement.

F. s. Pratt, the expert accountant
who examined the books of the state
prison, is quoted as saying that che
found the vouchers for every item of
expenditure, and that it was simply
impossible for superintendent of a
Vermont state prison to graft, unless
he was in league with the prison di-
rectors.'
It would be crude graft indeed that
gave itself away in its bookkeeping.
As matter of fact, there is no coDnec-
ton whatever between the two things.
The recent insurance investigation, for
instance, disclosed the biggest graft
the world ever saw, but the books of
all the companies were absolutely cor
rect, technically, and gave no indica-
ton whatever that anything was
wrong. Mr.. Pratt probably never said
what he is quoted as saying. He is too
bright man.-Burlington News.
The statement made by Mr.. Pratt
to the effect that grating by the SUI
perintendents of our institutions is i'm
possible unless these officers are in
league with the prison directors, was
not based upon the fact that the books
were correctly kept, nor upon the fact
that vouchers for all expenditures are
on file at the state auditors office. The
statement referred to was reached af-
ter careful examination Of the bust
ness affairs and business methods of
the various institutions. The superin-
tendents receive each month from the
state auditor just enough money to pay
their current bills. In order to secure
this money from the auditor, the SUI
perintendents are obliged to send every
bill to the prison directors for approx
al. The superintendent have no funds
to use at their discretion. As far as
business matters are concerned the man
agement of the institutions at Windsor
and Rutland compare favorably, ac-
cording to Mr.. Pratt, with the manage

HAPPY RESULTS.

No wonder scores of Brattleboro citi-

make anyone happy to find relief after
years of suffering. Public statements
like the following are but truthful rep
reservations of the daily work done in
Brattleboro by Doans Kidney Pills.
Mrs. L. L. Davis of South Main St.
Brattleboro, VT. says: about six
months ago 1 fell and injured my back,
and soon after this noticed my kid
neys were disordered. My back at
times panied me so that I could hardly
keep from screaming. If l caught the
least cold it settled over my kidneys
and aggravated the trouble. l used
doctors medicine but received little
relief. Finally procured Doan's Kid
ney Pills at F, HI. Holden's drug store
and began taking them. They had a
wonderfully beneficial effect on me and
was soon cured of the kidney trouble
and the aching in my back. l have
recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to
many of my friends. and will continue
to do so when occasion arises

1t is amusing to see how some of our
esteemed contemporaries are hedging
on the governor question and limiting
that Gov. Bell, or some other dark
horse, will enter the lists against Col.
Fletcher D. Proctor.-The Caledonian.
Recent indications were that The Gale
DOMAIN found opposition to Proctor the
reverse of Amusing but if cool
philosophy has triumphed over hot in
dignation the fact is commendable and
gratifying. That Col. Proctor els very
likely to be the next governor of Yer
mont" we are not inclined to dispute,
but we insist that there is always
bound to be doubtful element in pol
itics anywhere and that in politics, as
in everything else, doubtful things
are mighty onsartin'."

The Rutland Herald points out what

The Rutland Herald points out what
careful reading of the new caucus
law will make evident, that citizen
does not forfeit his right to vote at
the September elections when he fails
to fill in and sign the certificate of in
tention provided for by the law. He
merely loses his privilege of voting in
caucus. This fact is not generally un-
derstood among citizens. Moreover
the provisions of the law are not ap-
plicable in any town except at the
signed request Gas stated in the law
of five per cent. Of the voters, estimat-
ed by the vote for governor at the last
preceding biennial election. Every man
should give himself the benefit of a
thoughtful reading of the law.

The senate at Washington properly
defeated the Tillman resolution calling
for an investigation of the fact of re-
cent election from the White house of
woman who insisted on seeing the
president. There is no doubt, whatever,
that any person having legitimate bust
ness at the White house and stating it
in courteous and conventional way,
may count on receiving due courtesy
and consideration. With the country s
experience of cranks in mind, as it
should constantly be, White house en-
ployes and officials can hardly be too
cautious in the case of visitors, male or
female, who are cratic or excitable in
their behavior.
Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1906-01-26

The supreme court decides that citi-
zens may examine the vouchers and
accounts of the state auditor, and this
regardless of the auditors plea that it
bothers him to have people mixing up
his papers. The matter of a citizen s
rights and of his getting them, seems
to be largely dependent in Vermont
upon the citizens courage, energy and
intelligence. He must not be over
awed by the Importance of the state s
