A COMMON COLD.

We claim that if catching cold could be
avoided some Of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases would never be heard of.
A cold often forms a culture bed for
germs of infectious diseases. COnsump-
ton, pneumonia. dipiheria and scarlet
fever, four Of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases, are Of this class. The cul.
ture bed formed by the cold favOrs the
development of the germs Of these dis
easses. that would not otherwise find
Judgment. There is little danger, how
ever, of any of these diseases being COIL
tracted when good expectOrant cough
medicine like Chambevlain's Cough Re-
medy is used. 1t cleans out these cul-
ture beds that favor the development Of
the germs Of these diseases. That is why
this remedy has proved so universally
successful in preventing pneumonia. 1t
not only cures your cold quickly, but
minimizes the risk Of contracting these
dangerous diseases. For sale by all

The planters on the east side of
Bayou Teche have recently organ.
lied several clubs under the name
of Planters Protective Associations
having in view the protection
against overflow. We believe while
the planters of that part of the pa
IRISH are looking after their water
protection, they should give some
of their attention to their assess
ment which should be considera-
bly, reduced upon the much de-
preciated sections affected by wa
ter, aud also all property affected
by the levee taxes. They should
demand of the assessor much
reduced assessment or vote him
out of Office aud put in an asses
sor who will protect them by re-
ducing the assessments. They
have the power to do that and pro-
tsct themselves by having their
assessments reduced and relieve
them of the burden of the taxes
for which they have no benefit.

The Messenger Loses.
THAT Is, BEFORE THE DISTRICT
COURT.

The case of the Messenger vs
The Police Jury for the awarding
of the printing contract 70 the
Banner upon its strange bid, was
decided last week in favor of the
Police Jury.
The Judge in rendering this ex-
traordinary decision. twisted and
stretched tho printing law until
he made a "freak" out of it-that
decision is a sensation.
After writing several pages and
making some strange comparisons
decided that the bid of the Banner
was the "only legal did," Which
decision will prove a revelation to
the legal fraternity when the case
is presented to them.
The Messenger has appealed
the case.
In future issues OF the Messen-
ger We expert to publish full re-
view of tho case and the law and
make some comparisons of the
law aud the reasons of the court,
so that the public will be able to
Judge for themselves the merits of
the case aud of the decision.

THE CRIr1INAL TAX.

When tho Police Jury adopted
it's budget last month . rsprescn-
tative of the Weekly Messenger
advised the Police Jury that
several of the tax payers of st.
MsrtinviIle would not pay this tax
to the Parish. He believed under
the law and the Constitution that
the Police Jury had no right TO
levy a tax in st. Martinville which
was exempted from all parish tax
and license. but that it was the
duty of the Police Jury to demand
of the town authorities, their pro.
portion of the criminal expenses.
The legal advisor of the Police
Jury said the Police Jury had to
levy a criminal tax on the eutire
assessment of the parish, includ-
ing the towns, but that the Sheriff
could not collect that tax, that
said tax is to he collected by the
town authorities and turned over
to the parish.
No criminal tax is mentioned ID
the budget concerning the parish,
a ten mill tax is levied on the pa.
IRISH without any mention of the
criminal tax. We are of the OPT.
Mon that the parish cannot levy
any criminal tax on the parish OF
the town, but We believe the town
can be held accountable for its
share of criminal expenses which
most come out of the regular ten
mill tax levied by tho town, the u
mill tax we have been paying in
the past is illegal and in direct
violation of the Constitution and
laws of the state.
The parish has no legal right to
levy and collect taxes and licenses
within the limits of the Corpora.
ton Of st. Martinville, aud the
constitution and charter say that
the town cannot collect more than
the said ten mill tax without the
consent OF the tax payers express
cd at an election held for such
purpose.
The criminal tax must, there.
fore, DO taken out of the regular
ten mill tax of the town.
When the time come for tho col.
lection OF this.criminal tax which
is levied in excess of the constitu.
tioual limit, it win he refused by
several tax payers an,' contested
before the courts.
The abuse of taxation must stop.

SUGAR REFINERY.

There has been some talk here
for the past few months regarding
the building of a sugar refinery at
or near st. Martinville.
Last week there WAS some in.
quiry made by a responsible firm
az to what the people OF st. Mar
tiuvile and the planters of the vi
ciuity were willing to do towards
the building of refinery; if site
of 20 acres would be given on the
railroad, what amount of cash
could be raised aud what amount
of cane could DO secured for the
support Of said refinery.
Doctors j. Il. Olivier aud d. G.
Liable who had the matter In
hand, called a meeting of the Pro-
gressive League and invited all
interested citizens 10 attend this
meeting which was held at two
o'clock in the afternoon last Sun
day. The meeting was largely at
tended by citizens who seemed to
take a deep interest in the matter
and after having discussed every
detail of the project, decided to
invite the prospective builders to
come to st. Martinvllle, meet our
people aud discuss the plan to-
gether. with almost a certainty
that matters could be arranged a
way that would DO entirely salts
factory and secure the refinery.
We learn that several persons
have offered the 20 acres for the
site on the railroad and on the
Teche, in this way cane could be
secured by rail and water.
The matter of cane acreage was
takey up and in cart hauling dis
lance, or right adjoining any of the
site offered, nearly 5000 acres are
this year planted in cane, and this
could bs more than doubled the
year after, and with tramway of
few miles to reach the Cypress
Island section, an unlimited
amount of cane could be secured.
The amount of cane that will be
raised around st. Martinville and
shipped by rail aud water to ont
side rs6neries thus coming season
is estimated at 10000 tons and the
year after with a refinery or better
rail facilities, this amount could be
doubled.
We cannot expect to increase
our acreage of cane if We have to
depend upon the railroad for tran
sportation. as the facilities last
season were unsatisfactory, and it
was said at the meeting Sunday
that the railroad authorities pos
itively refused to give any more
switching facilities, because they
do not care to handle cane for the
reason that it is Improbable to
: the company.
With no better facilities by rail,
the cane crop cannot be increased
unless we have refinery or that
We improve our water facilities.
A refinery would be much better
for all concerned.

Protecting the Forests.

The owners Of forest lands in New
Hampshire recently formed an as
ISOLATION IL the purpose of protecting
forests from fire, II plans to cooperate
with the state forester in making the
forest fire law effective, in building more
lookout stations, maintaining paid patrol
IN times Of drouth, the Improvement
Of mountain trails, the building Of sup
ply stations for fire fighting tools and
educational work looking toward better
fire protection The individuals and cor
porations who have entered the associa-
ton represent an ownership of over one
million acres. 1t is planned to make
maximum annual assessment of about
cent. per acre, which with the pres
ent membership would make about SlO,-
geo available for protective purposes.
This is one Of the methods proposed
by State Forester Halves Of this state
and it certainly would seem as though
the timberland men Of Vermont could
well afford to give cent an acre each
year to secure better protection from
forest fires. st. Johnsbury Caledonian.

Uniform Municipal Accounts.

What's become of the proposition for
a systematic town accounting in this
legislature? This desirable feature has
been discussed a good deal during the
past two years and apparently very fa-
vorably received by the people, but it
does not seem to be getting ahead much
IN the present legislature Mortified
News.
1t probably never will get ahead until
somebody OF recognized experience and
authority in such matters prepares and
offers a measure that will afford some
practical means OF making a beginning
toward reform. The public accounts Of
every community in the state should be
made according to common standard
and by a uniform system so that any
man owning property or having inter.
ests in any town in Vermont will be able
to understand the record OF its economic
condition exactly as he does that of the
town he lives in
But it will be hard to persuade some
OF our neighbors that this is a desirable
and even necessary thing to do until
they see the experiment worked out
around about them For that reason, it
might be well TO propose law that was
optional at the outset and encourage its
adoption by the several towns until q
little time and a little experience under
it brought all the towns into line as a
matter OF course.--St. Adams Messenger.

The Constitution Time.Lock.

In Z. j. Halls letter in The Banner
yesterday opposing the doing away with
the time lock on the constitution, Il
seems to US that he missed the main
point Of the issue The very fact that
we have constitution and that ii il
sometimes found necessary to change ii
proves the whole contention in regard
to the need Of taking of the time lock.
Who can say in advance when a change
may be needed The limerick is as
absurd from business point of view
as would be a law providing that no
new bridges should be built except once
in ten years, Another argument put
forward by Mr. Hall is that il was a
provision made by the founders Of the
state, He Is mistaken in this view.
The fathers Of our state put no time.
lock into the constitution II was not
put there until the state was almost
century old. Then during the most I'M
progressive period OF Vermont history,
the time-lock was attached. That alone
should render US wise to its danger.
The commission appointed BY Governor
Prouty and composed of some of the
best thinkers In the state was unani.
mously in favor Of removing the time
lock. Practically all the welI-known
men Of the state are in favor Of doing
away with it, With the time lock re-
moved it requires the vote Of two legis
latures and vote OF the people TO
change the constitution. Isn't that safe,
guard enoughY But the worst feature
of the whole affair is that the men in
the state house lobby who were most
strongly opposed to removing the time
lock were group Of corporation agents
who oppose ever, always and unceas
ingly, the waking up Of the people to
manage their own affairs. The Banner
does not think that any member OF the
legislature has been criticised or ac-
cused for living up to his oath OF Office.
Quite the contrary. Bennington Ban
