 Our Anticipated System.
 Our present system was founded on war debt It dates back to 1863, when the country faced d great crisis. The federal treasury was empty: government credit was gone. The temptation to use banking for this purpose was too great to be re- sisted. Perhaps is was excusablc then; but in neglecting revision of this system to meet modern re quirements, what a terrific price has been paid.

Social Justice and Socialism"

The editor of The North American Re-
view shows by the figures the growth Of
the Socialist party in the United States,
and, as of more significance, how the
responses. ELECTED by skilful but spc-
Soeialistic doctrines. He says:
ut clearly behooves us to examine
and study the latest declaration of doc
trines made by the Socialist party in
the hope of winning a more general sup
port from the American people.
Assuming as major premise that
"the overwhelming majority of the PEG
pie of America are being forced under
yoke of bondage by soulless indus
trial despotism,' the Socialist party pro-
poses to remedy the condition thus de-
picted by affirmative acts designed to
accomplish the following results:
Abolition of the Senate and the veto
power of the president.
Adoption Of initiative, referendum
and recall, nationally as well as To-
cally."
In other words, vest all power leg
islation in the mass of the people, re-
tanning only a semblance Of representa-
tive government in the House of Repre-
sentatives, whose members would be sub
jeet to recall. Under this system, as
now practised in Oregon, majority of
the votes cast through the country would
enact any proposed law.
abolition of the power usurped by
the supreme court of the United States
to pass upon the constitutionality of
the legislation enacted by Congress"
This would enable the majority of
voters to pass upon the constitutional
ity of the laws which they themselves
had enacted The effect would be identi-
cal with that of the proposed plan to
permit the people to recall decisions,
but the operation would be less cumber-
some.
Abolition OF the federal district courts
and the United States circuit court of
appeals. The election of all judges for
short terms"

An Idle Fancy.

The old-fashioned robin sings sweetly
and long not far from an old
fashioned rose
The perfume so soft seems to blend
with the song
And gently invite to repose
Forgot is the tumult. Unheard is the
shout
Where men with a resolute din
Are seeking to usher their old troubles
out
And perhaps usher new troubles in.
We gratefully welcome each influence
brought
To tighten life's burden of care;
The sturdy Grafton, the delicate thought
That make this existence more fair.
And | thought that heard from some
voice far away,
That scarce interrupted doze.
"Hurrah for the robin whose song is so
gay"
And Three cheers for the old fash
Toned rose!"

FRECkLES
Don't Hide Them With Veil; Remove
Them With the New Drug.

An eminent skin specialist recently
discovered a new drug, othine-double
strength, which is so uniformly success
full in removing freckles and giving a
clear, beautiful complexion that it is sold
by any frst-elass druggist in the city
OF Barre under an absolute guarantee
to refund the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under veil;
get an ounce OF othine and remove them.
Even the first nights use will show a
wonderful improvement, some of the
lighter freckles vanishing entirely. It is
absolutely harmless, and cannot injure
the most tender skin.
Be sure to ask any frst-class druggist
in the city of Barre for the double
strength othine; it is this that is sold
on the money-back guarantee.
