MAY BE TOO MUCH OF A GOOD
THING.
II is commendable to give farms to
the state OF Vermont for the purpose
OF teaching farming; but if the habit
grows on people the state will be en-
barrassed with good things in this line.
The reason for the embarrassment will
lie in the fact that the state cannot
afford to scatter its educational efforts
III such u manner as the separation of
the schools wouh require. Already there
is danger that the educational devel-
opmcnt along agricultural lines will be
too much separated; the state cannot
conduct these farm schools in the man
ner they should be conducted because
Of the inability to finance SO many in
stitutions. But, on the other hand, If
the schools are combined into few in
stitutions it will be possible for the
state TO equip them and provide com
petent instructors. Therefore, it Is to
be hoped that the proposed gift from

lions.

These drugs deaden the nerves and
stop secretions along the breathing tract

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
THE TAXATION QUESTION.
Rabbit Bill Is Opposed BY John ]. Will
son of Bethel.

Dear Editor:
No one, having experience in helping
hundreds of needy borrowers in THEN
search for charitable lenders, can for.
give the treaeherous attempt TO avoid
the party pledge to place such loans
ION equality with bank deposits, as to
rate of taxation thereof.
| Yesterday poor man was helped by
| individual loan of 1925, being sorely
pressed to meet bank note, the kindly
merchant who helped him will probably
be penalized for his kindness by being
taxed two or three per cent on such
loan, next April. The merchant could
have done better for himself by putting
| his money in the savings bank; if he
had the poor man would have had his
| little property sold at auction to pay
the original debt, and been driven out
of his business.
No monied man drawing 4 per cent.
on bank deposit can afford to loan
money even at o per cent. so long as
such loans are taxed fluctuating local
rate rate of taxation--debtors right of
offset does not, as many foolishly inn
agine help in this respectfor lenders
profit will ever remain the exact dif
ference between his rate OF interest and
his rate of taxation.
Nothing can be palmer than this.
Then, why all these subterfuges and
INSTRUMENTATION does that dandy
little equalizer. the Babbitt bill help
any but that favored portion of our
population who own real estate--and
will politicians dare discriminate in ia
vor of the rich and against the poorl
How can these parties, with their
solemn pledges behind them, square
themselves with these voters in Sep
TENDER 1914. And remember that prob
ably a considerable majority of voters
do not own even shade of title in real
estate. The people are interested they
are listening and reading and would |
like to have papers print just how each |

UNDERWOOD
HELPED PASS
AMENDMENT
BLOW AGAINST The SOUTH
Broke Faith With His ASSO-
CiateS

Washington, May 14.-The Bristow
amendment to the resolution providing
for popular elections of senator's was
finally accepted by the house yester-
day, thanks to the surprising action
of Majority Leader Underwood in join
ing the republican and northern demo-
Gratis in ramming the Objectionable
provision down the throats of the de-
fenseless southern contingent
Southerners are hopping mad today
as a result of the work Mr.. Under
wood is being roundly censured for
his vote
The Bristow amendment confers up
on the feleral government the right
to control elections of senators. Un-
der it congress has the right to use
United States marshals and federal
troops to supervise elections.
1t has the unquestioned right to
enact a force bill and to fix qualifica-
tions of electors. In the stress of
circumstances it is possible for con-
gress to resort to methods similar U~,
those employed in reconstruction days
in the south.
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, led the
fight against the Bristow amendment
in the senate and his protest was
commended universally throughout the
south.
Mr. Underwood not only defended
and voted for the amendment, but he
also spoke against Judge Bartlett's
amendment providing that congress
shall not have power to provide for
qualification of voters within the va
rious states, nor to authorize the ap-
pointment of supervisors of election,
judges of election ir returning boards
to certify results of any such cleo
tions, nor to authorize the use Of
United States marshals or the military
forces of the United States, or troops
of the United States at the polls dur
ing elections"
Mr.. Underwood spoke against ant
voted against the amendment, not
withstanding that he had promised
Mr.. Bartlett to give the amendmen
his support.
Judge Bartlett answered Mr.. I'm
derwood's speech and charged hin
with having broken faith. He aske,
Mr.. Underwood privately If he had no
promised to support the amendment.
Mr.. Underwood admitted that h
had made such promise and adde
that he had changed his mind.
Judge Bartlett had no notice of thi
change of mind Mr.. underwood
rose in his place and announced hi
opposition to the amendment.

Washington, May 14.-Postmaster-
General Hitchcock has placed ban
upon Champ Clark's presidential as
pirations. The bureau promoting the
presidential candidacy of the speaker
recently published likeness of their
candidate on stickers that closely re-
semble the design, color and shape Of
an ordinary 2-cent postage stamp.
Reports reached the postmaster-gen-
eral that when the Clark stickers
were placed on mail matter it became
difficult to distinguish the original 2
cent stamp from the Champ Clark
sticker.
The postmaster general has signed
an order forbidding the privileges OF
the mails to the Clark stickers where
they are displayed on mail matter.

JUNE twelfth
IS FATAL DAY
FOR BACHELORS
four LOCAL WEDDINGS
Day Is Verify a Waterloo For
the Tribe

Reference to recent announcements
shows that no fewer than four we'd
dings in which local parties are to
take part have been arranged for June
IL. This is enough to cause any one
to see that June II is verify the day
of Waterloo for many a brave bach
elor who has long delayed getting in
to double harness.
1t is even hinted that before the
month closes there may be other
weddings announced for the same
month, if not the same day, so bane-
full has become the influence of this
particular day upon the career of
bachelors in Americus. So many an
nouncements of weddings for that day
have already been made that nothing
in the way of surprise could we'll
be sprung upon people here now.
Even if three or four more an
nouncements make their appearance
soon, it would not cause much sur
prise here, as those who are watching
the course of things matrimonially
have already had so MANY surprises
sprung upon them in the four an
nouncements that have recently ap-
peared that three or four more would
hardly affect them any further. Some
are even predicting that the bachelor
tribe will be an unknown species here
within short time.
Those who haven't been so fortunate
as to have their weddings announced
for June, should not feel discouraged,
however. They may philosophically
recall the sage observation of genial
Mark Twain: June is a good month
in which to marry-but there are
eleven Others"
