TERMS
LEGISLATURES.

We picked up New Hampshire
paper a few days ago and read that
their legislature, after being in session
142 days had adjourned but had left
things in such general middle that
an extra session was likely to be
necessary in short time. We looked
at the paper again to be sure that it
was not a Vermont exchange. Then
we read in the Fitchburg, Mass,
Sentinel the following:
For years the Sentinel has been
saying that the taxation system of the
state was one of the crying issues.
Though the facts remain the same, yet
the governors emphasis in his mes
sage to the legislature yesterday,
ought to have some public effect. The
truth is that our legislature is not
educated up to the tax question and
never has been. Members prefer
lodging the issue rather than confess
ing their own incompetence. But the
state continues to suffer. 1t is high
time to stop lodging apd to do some
thing positive to reform our execrable
system of taxation.
Again we looked at the heading to
be sure it was not Vermont ex-
change complaining about that ever
troublesome problem of taxation.
But after talking with a man who
sojourned in Georgia this winter and
hearing his statement that the people
of that state were almost at the point
of shooting when a legislator came in
sight, we began to think there was
something either radically wrong with
our entire state legislative system OF
else the people are in the throes of 2
great unrest and expect almost super.
human tasks of their representatives.
and expect results Immediately. Why
this general unrest and faultfindine
from Maine to California?

We note that in Barre the board of
civil authority, by vote Of eight to
seven, grant exemption from taxation
mortgages at per cent where there
was no actual transfer of money. 1t
appears that the listers had taken
Attorney General Browns interpreta-
ton of the law when listing and put
such paper in for taxation. Thus the
board of civil authority go contrary.
wise to the action of the assessors as
well as Mr.. Brown. This decision it is
said will exempt about $4,000 worth
of paper in Barre.

The graduating class of the Wood
stock high school will make a "see.
ing' tour of Vermont instead of the
usual commencement exercises or the
Washington trip quite common now.
This is most sensible idea. Getting
acquainted with Vermont wouldn't
hurt a lot of older people. The OLD
state contains much more that is
worth while than most of US think.

OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

GRADE CROSSINGS AS ISSUE
G. B. Pierce Seeks Republican
Nomination in jersey.

Crawford. y. j.. July 22-In the State OF
New Jersey. where only one application
for the elimination Of grade crossing IS
pending, although the Fielder grade cross
ing law has been In operation four
months. State Senator Carlton g. Pierce
will launch his campaign to-day for the
Republican nomination for Governor on
the abolition of dangerous grade crossings
and four other leading propositions. The
others are the equalization of tax assess
ments, the restoration OF a reasonable tax
upon banks and trust companies. the sub
stitution Of the indeterminate franchise
or tenure during good behavior, for the
present nfty-year franchise law, and jury
reform. through the elimination of the
subject from politics.
I'm statement that Senator Pierce gave
out to-day he said:
Il am proposing, I'm successive letters
between now and the primary, TO discuss
each issue briefly, dealing in this with
grade crossings. The outcome Of the
Fielder grade crossing law passed last
winter, will cause disappointment.
Though il has Deen in operation TOUR
months. only one application for elimina-
tion Is pending-that of the city OF Perth
Amboy-and i'm that the railroad defend
ants-the Pennsylvania, the Jersey Cen
trail and the Lehigh Nalley-have hied
answers alleging the act is void under
state and federal constitutions, and, iur-
ther. Is void because of defective title.
Hearings are being held and the litigation
is on: doubtless the prospect accounts Tor
the failure Of other municipalities TO hle
petitions.
1T is within the right Of the roads TO
appeal the case TO the United states SUI
preme Court, and under favorable condi-
tions il will take not less than three. ana
more probably five. years to determine
the validity of the law. In the mean time
there will be no elimination.
.'What makes the situation even more
unsatisfactory is that there is at least an
equal chance that the roads Will win.
The objections TO the validity of the law
were polnted out i'm the Senate, and plea
was then made for safety within the lines
of the Connecticut act which had beeh
sustained by the United States Supreme
