Constitutional Amendments

The proposals for amendments to
the State constitution have been lib
orally advertised and the voters
should be thoroughly informed as to
their purport before next Tuesday. Ii
is doubtful, however, If half OF the
voters have read the proposed amend
ments or have clear idea OF their i'm
port. Several should be adopted with
out question as they tend towards
progress for the State. A few should
be carefully considered before they
are adopted, and one in particular IT
seems to the Evening Argus should
be rejected. This relates TO the pow
err OF the Governor 10 veto measures
passed by the legislature. and places
in the hands of the executive great
power.
The constitution at present pro-
vides that the Governor has the right
of veto, but a majority only of each
house may pass a bill over his obiec-
tons. The amendment If adopted.
will require two-thirds Of the men,
bers present to make the bill etfec-
| tive over the Governors veto. This
is more radical change than would
appear at first glance, as its effect
would be to put the law making pow
er principally into the hands of the
| Governor. With some Governors this
might be good thing, while with 9th
ers it would be decidedly dangerous
By means of such power governor
in the future would be given a club
1 that he could WELD at all times fol-
his own personal agrandizment and
TO carry through his own ideas by
force, instead of because they were
right or proper. Vermont has gotten
along pretty well down to this time
without this radical one man power
and undoubtedly can continue to dc
so. Another amendment is that pro
poses the changing of the time for
: holding the State elections and many
good arguments have been advanced
! for and against the proposition. II is
a matter for the voters to consider
carefully before they take final action
I In fact those who exercise the right
to suffrage should read every propos
al of amendment carefully and give
each thoughtful consideration before
going to the polls next Tuesday

GIRLS STRANGE RIDE
Ruth Ware Of GaysvlIIe Thought to
Be Temporarily Insane.

White River junction, Feb. 81
Residents of this village are at loss
to understand the odd behavior OF
Miss Ruth Ware of Gaysville, who is
now seriously i'll at her home follow
ing an adventure which she had this
week
Mounted on a large bay horse, she

engaged room, saying that she pre-
ferred not to go to hotel. In the
afternoon she obtained position as
waitress In the restaurant at the rail-
road station.
Tuesday morning she appeared at
the stable again and ordered car
riage to which her horse was har-
messed. Inquiring the charges for a
trip to Wilder, she offered to pay the
full price for a horse and carriage.
Leaving her saddle and bride, she
drove away
When she failed to return at the
time she had named, Mr.. Burton
made inquiries, but learned nothing
until yesterday, when he traced her
up the White River road through
Sharon and Bethel. Late in the day
he heard of her arrival in Gaysville.
1t was reported that she had hired a
young man to return Mr.. Buttons
property, and although it had not
been received here today negotiations
for its return were under way.
Miss Ware is II years of age, a
student in the high school, and lives
with her grandmother, Mrs. Eliza
Ware of Gaysville. The girl is of
good family but her parents are dead.
Her act is believed to be the result OF
temporary mental alteration, the
| cause of which is not disclosed.

BENNINGTON, VT, MARCH /, 1913

1t would have been better If the
legislature had adjourned without
action on the taxation question than
to have passed the law it did. The
law as passed Is all for the benefit of
the capitalist, the man who has
money to loan. To the man who has
to borrow money to get start, or to
enlarge his business it is positive
injury.-Wilmington Times.

general rule the bill was opposed by
the wealthy and well-to-do men in the

ness, but we believe that people who
were at Montpelier will generally
agree that it was the representatives
from the small towns who put the
bill through and the great majority
of these men are far from wealthy.

Several letters relative to the con-
stitutional amendments are printed
in this issue. With some of the views
expressed, The Banner is in sympathy
but not with all. Mr.. Blanchard

that ought to be adopted. Special
privileges have been secured by cor
porations in the past, not through
any evil intention on the part of leg.
islatures, but because onlya few per
sons are interested in any one char
ter and close enough attention is not
given by members whose towns are
not affected. Wouldn't 1t be better
to make all interpretations subject TO
general laws and not run the risk OF
their getting special privileges that
they ought not to have? 1t is also i'm
portant that in. an industrial town
like Bennington, the voters support
the seventh amendment giving power
to provide a compulsory workman
compensation act for the reason that
this amendment will be voted against
to some extent in the rural sections
simply because it is not fully under
stood. A compulsory act is fair
alike to both employers and employ
es and direct saving to both. TAX
ing the amendments as a whole the
best judgment of The Banner is that
the citizens of the state should next
Tuesday vote against the first two
amendments and in favor of the
other six.

Dryden's Wit.

The duke OF Dorset. John Dryden,
Bolingbroke and Chesterfield were in
the habit of spending their evenings
together. Twas in general "the
feast Of reason and the flow Of soul"
On one occasion, however, ennui had
taken possession of the whole. At
last it was proposed that the three
aristocrats should each write some
thing and place it under the candle
stick, and that Dryden (who was at
that period in very different circum-
stances) should determine who had
written the best thing. 1t was no
sooner proposed than agreed to. The
scrutiny commenced; judgment was
given. "My lords said Dryden, adj
dressing Bolingbroke aand Chester
field, you each of you have proved
your wit, but I am sure you will,
nevertheless, agree with me that his
grace the duke of Dorset has excelled.
Pray attend, my lords-T promise to

scarcely need be observed that the
noble wits subscribed to the judg-
ment.

The Cause of Rheumatism

Stomach trouble, lazy liver and de-
ranged kidneys are the cause of rheu-
matism. Get your stomach, liver, kid
neys and bowels in healthy condition
by taking Electric Bitters, and you
will not be troubled with the pains of
rheumatism. Charles b. Allen, a
school principal of Sylvania, Ca, who
suffered indescribable torture from
rheumatism, liver and stomach trouble
and diseased kidneys, writes: "All
remedies failed until | used Electric
Bitters, but four bottles of this wonder
full remedy cured me completely"
Maybe your rheumatic pains come from
stomach, liver and kidney troubles.
Electric Bitters will give you prompt
relief. SOC and Sl00. Recommended

Acid-Proof Composition.

Iron alloys containing q certain per-
centage Of chromium are usually en-
ployed in the manufacture of articles
and apparatus which should resist the
action of acids. These compositions
are, however, not absolutely acid
proof. Recently the well-known Ger
man metallurgist, Professor Borchers.
of Aix-la Chapelle, discovered that by
adding molybdenum to an iron COM
position containing more than ten per
cent chromium in amounts Of 2.5 per
cent, an absolutely acid-proof CON-
position can be obtained. 1t is es-
sential. however, that the iron be free
from carbon, or at least nearly SO.
A composition containing 35 per cent
iron, 60 per cent chromium and S
per cent molybdenum, it is claimed,
remains unaffected even by. hot aqua
regia. This alloy has the tenacity Of
cast iron and can be worked like the
latter. Titanium and vanarium may
be used instead of molbdenum, but the
latter Is preferable.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN

People of means and good taste may
make.their homes perfect dreams o.
beauty, but they cannot make them too
beautiful, as slong as the comfort and
happiness of the inmates are sought
and promoted. Surely money cannot
be expanded to better purpose, than
in making and adjoining home for
ones self and loved ones and furnish
ing it with all that is calculated to
foster in the inhabitants thereof love
of home, as we'll as love of the true
and beautiful and the good; and even
poor people will best secure their own
happiness by toiling and saving to ac-
quire and embellish homes for them
selves. There is pleasure connected
with home making that is rare, raptur-
Gus and absorbing, and love of home is
as noble and ennobling feeling as can
still the human soul. We look for
good things in person in whom an
ardent love of home has been develop
ed, and hope for little from one who
speaks indifferently or slightingly Of
his home. We do well for our chill
dren when we make happy homes for
them, which they will naturally learn
to love.
The road along which the man Of
business travels in pursuit of happiness
or wealth is not macademized one,
nor does it ordinarily lead by pleasant
scenes and well-springs of delight on
the contrary it is rough and rugged
path, beset with "wait-a-bit" thorns
and full of pit falls, which can only be
avoided by the watchful care of cir
cumspection. After every days journ-
ey over this rough turnpike road, the
wayfarer needs something more than
rest, he requires -solace, and he de-
serves it. He is weary of the dull
prose of life and athirst for the poetry.
Happy is the business man who can find
that solace and that poetry at home.
Warm greetings FROM happy hearts,
fond glances from bright eyes, the well
come shouts from children, and thou
sand little arrangements for our COM
fort and enjoyment that silently tell of
thoughtful and expectant love; the
gentle ministration that disencumber
us into an old, easy seat before we are
aware of 1t; these, and little tokens of
affection and sympathy constitute the
poetry that reconciles us to the prose
in life. Think of this, We wives and
daughters of business men. Think
of the tolls, the anxieties, the morti-
fications that fathers undergo to Sc
cure for you comfortable homes, and
compensate them for their trials by
making them happy at their own fire.
