Catarrh of Throat,

Miss Maud Bougard, 260 18th St.,
Brooklyn, N. Y, writes:
81 was afflicted for two years with ca
tarrh of the throat. At first it was very
slight, but every cold l took made it
worse.
81 followed your directions, and in a
very short time 1 began to improve. i
took one bottle and am now taking my
second.
81 can safely say that my throat and
head are cleared from catarrh at the
present time, but still continue to take
my usual dose for a spring tonic and 1
find there is nothing better.
"Words cannot express how thankful
l feel for my cure, as did not know the
comfort of good nights sleep till now.
1 was continually bothered with my
breathing. 1 could scarcely breathe
through my nose at ALL but now 1 go TO
bed and sleep the whole night through
without any trouble"
Stomach Trouble.
Mrs. Mary Shanks, Marshall, Okla
homa, writes:
"Peruna is the best medicine on earth.
1t has cured me of stomach trouble that
l had for seven years, and only took
six bottles. When 1 wrote you for adj
vice, would hook Up stringy mucus, my
stomach bloated often, my digestion was
poor, my skin sallow, bowels irregular.
II hope Peruna may help thousands
as it has helped me-"

such shackles upon State powers and
by implication forbids them"
This position of Judge Cooley is
impregnable. This nation is the vol
untary creation of the several States.
Surely the Fathers of this Republic
did not intend to give to their own
creation even the possibility of taxing
the States which created it in a man
ner that would cripple their resour-
ces and become menace to the OPP
Grafton of such government.
No emergency has arisen or appears
likely to arise calling for any ex-
traordinary methods of taxation. We
can raise millions if necessary by
stamp taxes and internal revenue du-
ties without recourse to new and
dangerous methods.
1t is claimed that the Government
ought to have the power to levy such
a tax, but that it would be used, prob
ably, only in cases of emergency. Let
us not delude ourselves with this
notion. No rich and unexpected field
of revenue is likely to remain un-
taxed very long. The West and
South are demanding the expenditure
of vast sums of money for internal
Improvements. During the last year
that the income tax was in force,
four States, New York, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, and New Jersey, paid
four fifths of the entire tax. The
States desiring improvements, and
having the power to control Congress,
would not hesitate long to lay the
burden upon the wealthy States of
the East, and these States would be
obliged to foot most of the bills.
This paper believes in giving a
large measure of power to the nation
al Government, but it believes that
the time has come when more regard
should be paid to the rights OF the
States. 1t believes that the right to
levy taxes on incomes should be re-
served under normal conditions to
the several States, as their sources of
revenue are more restricted than
those of the Federal Government. The
Constitution is the supreme law of the
land. Anything written therein, how
! ever unjust or absurd, must stand.
Laws may be declared invalid, but
Constitutions are beyond court de-
cisions. This paper would favor an
amendment giving to the United
States the power to levy
an income tax strictly as a measure
of national defence in time of war
but not otherwise.
The Journal believes that the best
interests of the State of Vermont and
of all the States of the Union demand
the rejection of this proposed amend
ment, as it now stands, and it hopes
that the General Assembly of Yer
mont, when it assemblies in 1910, will
refuse to ratify this measure.

DEATH OF GENERAL HOWARD.

In the death of Gen. Oliver o.
Howard, Vermont loses the citizen
most widely known to the people of
the United States of any who dwelt
within her borders. The last of the
surviving Civil War commanders of
an Independent army, his name was
known and honored in every State of
the Union. Participating in the bat
tie of Bull Run and in McClellan's
Peninsular campaign, commanding
divisions in the bloody battles of An
tietam and Fredericksburg, leading n
corps at Charlottesville, selecting
the field of battle at Gettysburg, dis
tinguishing himself at Missionary
Ridge, "the battle above the Clouds"
and commanding Sherman's right
wing on the famous March to the
Sea-" General Howard proved beyond
question his right to be ranked
among the great soldiers of the Unit
ed States. His record in Indian war
fare was also a brilliant one.
A brave soldier of the Union, he
was also a faithful soldier OF the
King of Kings, and his devotion to the
cause of Christianity was one of the
notable characteristics of his useful
life. While many questi oned the
principles and the efficacy of the
Christian religion, General Howard
knew from personal experience that
that faith was true and liking
one.
His work for the Negroes of the
South and in later years for the
Mountain Whites was conspicuous.
In Lincoln University he established
the best possible memorial for the
great Emancipation. 1t would not be
strange If the death of General How
ard would hasten the contamination
of his dearest hope, the raising of an
endowment fund for this valuable in
stitution Of learning in the hill coun-
try of Tennessee.
Few men in public or private sta
ton will be able to leave behind
them nobler record of a life well
lived than that of the gallant Chris
tian soldier, Oliver Otis Howard.
Stricken down in the midst of his
usefulness, with his faculties unim-
paired, he will be sincerely mourned
| by his countrymen throughout the
whole land as a great and Il good
man.
What better tribute can be paid to
any individual than this?

THE SHOOTING OF DOES.

1t does not seem to the Journal
that the protest against the sale of
doe meat is necessarily soft voiced
sentimentalism, by any means. If
dealers refuse to handle such meat
it will tend to check the slaughter of
female deer on the part of those who
expect to profit from the sale of the
meat. The comparison of the killing
of does with the slaughter of female
lambs and calves is not fair one.
Lambs and calves are raised for COM
mercial purposes, the sale of the
flesh for food being one of the prin-
cipal objects in view.
The deer In the State are compar-
atively few. The presence Of these
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1909-10-28

beautiful ANIMALS is a delight to our
own people and an attraction for the
summer tourist. The slaughter of
the does means neglect of the fawns
and danger of almost complete ex-
tinction of deer in Vermont For
these reasons the Journal believes
that the law permitting the shooting
of does is neither wise nor humane,
and hopes that the Legislature OF
1910 will repeal this act, which ought
never to have been passed.

Running Ear.

Miss Matte L. Sangster, Kensett,
Arkansas, writes:
81 am now seventeen years old and
have had running ear since l was
about three years old. 1t had become
very offensive, Notwithstanding / had
tried several physicians without any
benefit whatever.
"My father meeting a neighbor VINO
told him that his wife had been cured
by Lacupia and Peruna, then wrote to
DR.. Hartman, asking his advice. He
was told that had catarrh of the mid
die ear, or chronic otitis.
"He recommended Lacupia and Pc
runa, and after using three bottles Of
each find myself entirely cured. The
discharge and offensive odor are both
gone, and can hear as well out of that
ear as the other"
A W0man's Remedy.
Mrs. E. T. Gaddis, Marion, N. O..
writes:
"Before commenced to take Peruna
1 could not do any hard work without
suffering great pain.
az took Peruna and Manalin, and can
say with pleasure that it has done more
for me than any other medicine have
ever taken. Now am as well as ever.
1 do all my own work and it never
hurts me at all.
81 think Peruna is a great medicine
for womankind."

Big Potato Stories.

Times at Benson, VT, writes; big
potatoes, record breakers in size, are
being reported from different sec
tons. Henry Edwards now reports
two potatoes weighing ten pounds and
two ounces. This caps the climax of
big potatoes and shows remarkable
year for growing the tubers. One man
in Fair Haven, VT, had twenty-eight
potatoes that made a bushel." The
buying and selling weight of bushel
of potatoes is from sixty to sixty-five
pounds.

Cooperative Freight Line.

The Burlington Free Press says:
"The Burlington Commercial Club
has been using it's efforts to secure
favorable freight rates for this city
at different times, but there is still
work to be done in this direction
During the past few months a gen.
eral advance in transportation rates
has been in progress throughout the
country, and the Champlain valley
has been affected in common with
other sections of the United States.
In some instances the advance has
been fifty per cent.
"A project is on foot to start a CO.
operative movement in Burlington by
means of which the merchants of
this city will control line of freight
ers between New York city and Burl-
ington and possibly in other direc-
tons, so figuring that most of their
heavy goods can be transported while
navigation is open. 1t is figuSed that
the saving in, cost of transportation
would more than meet the expense of
maintenance, owing to the immense
volume of the traffic which comes to
Burlington to say nothing of freight
going in the other direction"
