The Late Gen. Howard

General Howard, whose death re-
moves the last of the division COM
manders of the Union army, was
known as the Christian soldier His
reputation for upright character,
clean speech, kindly ways and temper
ate habits had made for him name
far brighter than if he stood upon his
war record alone. No soldier in the
history of the republic has had such
a career as preacher, missionary and
philantrhopist, as well as desperate
tighter on the plains and in the South.
His residence in Burlington, Vt, made
him known in Troy. Indeed his first
service was at the Watervliet arsenal.
He had two sons who were graduated
at the institute. Had all the men
who led the forces of the North given
as earnest attention to the problems
which victory produced, the animosity
which for so many years separated
the two sections of the country would
have subsidized twenty years sooner

who has a record of thirty years of
enviable success to his record.
We believe more good reports about
Rexal Mucu-Tone than we do of all
other catarrh remedies sold in our
store and if more people only knew
what thoroughly dependable remedy
Rexall Mucu-Tone is, it would be the
only catarrh remedy we would havI
any demand for.

BLOW AT LIQUOR
AGENCY SYSTEM.
Continued From Page Eleven)

In defense of good business methods
We raise the question: What induce
ments are offered by these firms and to
whom? Or what is the consideration
of those who insist on the purchase of
particular brands of goods carried by
these firms regardless OF the high
prices and the quality of the liquors
sold?
Not only does the law make it an
offense for solicitors to drum the trade
of town and city agencies but me
commissioner violates at least the in
tent of the statutes in approving this
monopoly of the States liquor trade
by practically two wholesale liquor
firms and adopting it as the settled
policy of his office. That the commits
soner exposes himself TO the severest
censure follows from the fact that he
could, if he would, and this repre-
hensble practice, by going himself into
the open market for the direct pur-
chase of stock of liquors. as the law
contemplates. sufficient in amount and
of good quality for the medicinal needs
Of the people.
AS to whether the trade discounts is
unknown to the commissioner or the
prices for agency liquors are as low for
the same class of goods as could be
had in the open market. we leave to
the thoughtful consideration OF
practical men.
The office of State liquor commits
sioner dishoners the State 1t serves
no moral nor economic purpose.
Though it returns a financial profit
the money comes from the pockets OF
the people who must pay the exorbl-
tant prices charged for low cost
liquors. 1t is common knowledge that
this Office is a sinecure, political Jop
with large emoluments. Scandal at
taches to it's history, while its baneful
influence is wide spread throughout
the State.
Generally discredited. and honey
combed from top to bottom with graft,
we submit that the liquor agency syS-
TEN is not only impossible under the
present law, but that it IS not worth
continuing under any conditions. The
dignity and honor of the State and the
good name Of our communities demand
that it be abolished.
