The views of ex-President Taft on
the question of retaining or relinquish-
ing the Philippines have been given
in special article published in the
New York Tribune. In it he gave rea-
sons why the United States should re-
tain its control over the Philippine
Islands, and voicing cone more warn
ing against unwise and ill-considered
policy of those who advocate early in
dependence. - The President says it
would be folly to grant to Philippines
an independence which they know not
how to safeguard, and of which they
would soon be robbed

Give It A Trial.
Bennington Banner.)


The new tariff bill will pass the
House this week and there seems every
reason to believe that it will pass the
Senate within a few weeks, though it
is likely to take more time there than
in the House as the Senate has no
closure rule and debate lasts as long
as anybody wants to talk. If the bin
is to become a law the sooner the bet
ter as a certainty can be met while an
uncertainty is a hanging menace. The
protectionists of the country are
afraid of the new measure and believe
that it will cause an industrial depres-
sion. On the other hand the free
traders and supporters of revenue
tariff are sure that the new bill will be
a good thing for the country. One
crowd is just as sincere and patriotic
as the other and only the actual test
can show which side is wrong. Under
the circumstances the sooner the test
comes the better it will be for all con
cerncd.

Representative COrdell Hull of Ten
nessee, author Of the income tax sec
ton of the Underwood tariff bill, is
serving his fourth term as u member
of the national congress. In explain
ing the provisions of the proposed
measure Congressman Hull said that
the normal income tax of ] per cent
was to be paid by all classes subject
to the tax, individuals as Well as cor
porations, but that only the incomes
of individuals were to be subjected to
the various surtaXes. The incomes of
corporations are to bear only the NOR
NAL" income tax and are not subject
to the so called 'surtaXes." All in
div1duals have an exemption of $4,000,
but there is no exemption allowed to
the corporation.
The tax, if the bill becomes a law, is
to be collected through the internal
revenue division of the treasury de-
partment, which now collects the taxes
on tobacco, cigars, liquors, oleomar-
garine and similar objects of internal
revenue. The commissioner of internal
revenue will have direction and super

NOT OF BROWNE FACTION.
j. G. Ullery is Independent Democratic
Candidate for Collectorship.

The Montpelier Argus, in discussing
the contest for the collectorship of the
port of Memphremagog, said: 'There
are three candidates for this position,
}. G. Ullery of BrattlebOrO, G.. Herbert
Pape of Barre city. and Charles A.
Bancroft of Newport. the present
special deputy collector. If Mr.. VI
lery wins it will mean that the Browne
forces are in control of the patronage,
while if Pape is appointed to the pc
sition it win mean that the Burke con
tingent is at the helm. On the other
hand Mr.. Bancroft might be taken as
a compromise candidate, although
neither UJlery nor Pape supporters are
looking for compromises at the present
time. y
This statement is not correct. Mr..
Ullery is not the representative of
either the Browne or Burke parties. He
is an independent Democratic candi-
date, and his support is mainly in
Washington, with a handsome endorse
ment from the best Democratic inter
ests in Vermont The Arugus express
es opinion that the appointment will be
made soon in view of the fact that the
| present collector, Curtis Emery, is
! planning to move to Montpelier. We
understand that Mr.. Emery began last
November to make plans for leaving
Newport. Washington advices are to
the effect that the appointment will
not be made for several months.

OUR QUESTION BOX

Who completed the novel, The Mys-
terry of Edwin brood, which Charles
Dickens left unfinished at his death?
He was a Brattleboro man, Thomas
p. James. The completed novel was
published in Brattleboro in 1873. Mr.
James was a Spiritualist and claimed
that the spirit of Dickens dictated the
final chapters. On the fly leaf of the
volume appear these words: BY the
spirit pen of Charles Dickens, through
a medium. In the "medium's pre-
face, - dated Brattleboro, Sept. 25,
1873, Mr.. James says: Concerning
the merits of this book, it would i'll
become me to speak. I can say this,
however, that it is given to the pub
lie, word for word, as it came to me. -

The Byron Troubadours of Chi
cago, the first event in the Bust
ness Mems Lecture Course, was
tho attraction at the opera house,
Thursday evening. The hall was
seated to it's fullest capacity and
the audience was thoroughly de-
lighted with the entertainment.
The troubadours are possessed of
rare talent and play the various
musical instruments and sing in a
decidedly acceptable manner. Two
or three instruments which had
never before been played in this
city were introduced. Nearly
every number brought forth an
encore and the gentlemen re-
sponded very pleasantly. Let il
be said to the credit Of the Trou-
badours that they are a company
of gentlemen in every respect
and possess the ability to please
the most critical audience. AT the

THE REDMAN AND THE
RED LIQUOR.

The law regulating the liquor
traffic on Indian reservations
was made for the protection of
the Indians against the evils incl
dent to the indulgence in too
much red liquor. 1t was in realty
move to make the Indian a
better citizen. But who is violat-
ing the lawY Who is the bootleg
gerY Not the Indian. On the con-
trary, the white man is the boot
logger and it is necessary for the
federal government to hire In
dian police to keep down the
liquor traffic in restricted terri
tory. Things have come to pref
ty pass when white men must be
rounded up by Indian police in
order to enforce a law, the orr
gin of which can be traced to the
white man, who had an idea that
the Indian was the real booze
fiend and should be protected
against the evils of strong drink.
The "white trash" who engage
in the sale of liquor contrary to
law are standing disgrace to the
white race. To them there is no
humiliation in being arrested and
hereded into ocurt by Indian off

is neither shame nor pride on
