PLAIN QUESTIONS
TO DAWSON PEOPLE
Every Dawson Reader Will Admit the
Soundness of the Logic.

Would Dawson people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as they do if the
medicine were not reliable? Would
they confirm their statements after
years have elapsed if their expert
ences did not show the remedy to be
deserving of it? Statements like the
following must carry conviction to
the mind of every reader:
Mrs. N. A. Smith, 107 N. Center
ST., Dawson, gave the following
statement July 2, 1914: 81 used
Doan's Kidney Pills some time ago,
and they cured me Of a severe case
of kidney trouble. l haven't had any
occasion to use them since that time
and 1 am glad to recommend them:
On April Is, 1918, Mrs. Smith add
ed: 81 know Doan's Kidney Pills are
a fine remedy and l still highly rec
ommend them for the good they have
done me-"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

WITH $4,000 UNPAID. Fl
FAS WILL BE ISSUED.

The state and county tax books
closed last night, and as required by
law executions will be issued at once
against defaulters by Tax Collector
Russell.
Both the amount of unpaid taxes
and the number of property owners
who have not paid the amounts ex-
acted of them by the county and state
are perhaps larger than ever before
known.
Up to Monday night Mr.. RUSSELL
had receipted for only $4,000 OF the
100000 called for in cash by the di-
geSt.
Saturday there was a big rush all
day at the tax collectors office, and
receipts were issued by him and his
assistants for $780, Monday was
also busy day, and the receipts
swelled considerably the public money

shape Of campaign issue, there to be
subjected to the various cross currents
OF political thought and intrigue. 1t is
regrettable that such course seems
the only alternative; but, at the same
time, it is rather certain that the
treaty will not be subjected to any
more intrigue and manipulation than
that TO which it has been subjected in
the Senate. The people may be ex-
pected to give the matter less biased
consideration than a large number Of
the senators have given it in the many
months of pickering, with the shadow
of Wilson haunting the council table,
much to the distress of many of the
men of adverse political affiliation. If
the Wilson bugaboo could have been
withdrawn from the Senate's consid
Grafton of the treaty from the very
outset Of the discussion, it Is probable
that different result might have been
attained than the unsatisfactory con
clusion OF March 10.

AN URGENT CALL ON VERMONT.

AN URGENT CALL ON VERMONT.
| If for any reason Vermont should be
cut off from the opportunity of send
| ing tuberculosis patients to the institu-
tons in New Hampshire and Massa-
chusetts where Vermont people in adj
vanced stages of the disease have been
treated it would develop very serious
situation in the state, inasmuch as the
only institution in Vermont handling
such cases is large enough to ae-
commodate only small percentage of
the patients and because, too, its regu-
lations bar from admission those who
have passed the incipient stages of the
disease. The result would be that the
persons in the more advanced stages of
the disease would be thrown back on
the state, on the local communities
and on the homes. In the last analysis
they would be thrown back on the
homes, where, in most instances, the
conditions are least favorable for treat
ment of the disease and where the dan
ger of infection is pronounced, especial
ly for the inmates of immature years.
That would inevitably mean a marked
increase in the rate of mortality from
tuberculosis in all parts of the state
but more particularly in those sections
where the disease is now so prevalent.
In order to prevent such an increase
in mortality, as well as to give the
best possible care for those who have
already become infected with the dis
ease, il is absolutely necessary that
the state Of Vermont and its several
units bestir themselves to make prep |
arations for treating cases in the more
advanced stages of the disease. This |
requirement does not rest any more |
upon Washington county than upon !
any other county of the state, albeit |
perhaps the immediate need is more |
urgent in Washington county than
elsewhere in the state. We trust that |
some scheme can be worked out in
Washington county whereby temporary |
can be made for re-
ceiving patients before the proposed
sanitarium is erected. The
threat OF a cutting off of privileges in
New Hampshire and Massachusetts is
hanging over Vermont and it should
not be ignored.

CURRENT COMMENT
Peace in the Coal Fields.

1t is OF vast Importance to every
country that there should be peace in
the coal fields, and at present the
promise Of prolonged freedom from
strife Is highly encouraging. Almost
everywhere we see indications of a
desire on the part OF both mine own
ers and miners to arrive at a better
understanding, so that the losing
struggles by means OF strikes or lock
outs may be averted and all difference
settled amieably. Another notable fea-
ture of the existing situation is the
development of wholesome regard for
the power of the government to crush
a strike and force resumption OF work
for the sake OF the public. The action
of the United States government in the
steel workers strike and in the coal
miners attempted strike has not been
Intellectual as deterrent. This is evil
dent from the sober spirit in which the
parties have met TO consider a new
wage agreement for the anthracite
fields of Pennsylvania. 1t is hoped
that all will be arranged before the
expiry of the old agreement on March
IL.
In the United Kingdom the threat
ened strike to compel the govern
ment" to nationalize the mines has
been forbidden by an Overwhelming
vote of the trade union congress,

the railwaymen's strike, enlisting pop
ular support and rallying volunteer
workers so largely that the strike was
broken in few days, Naturalization
has made no progress. Parliament de
clared against il by 1920 to "a votes, and
the government gave warning that it
would meet and crush general strike
with every weapon at its disposal.

employed on behalf Of naturalization.

Vermont will be watching Delaware
and Washington quite closely on March
% when the woman suffrage amend
ment comes before the legislatures OF
those states for consideration. Failure
on the part of one or both of those
states to ratify would impose a con
siderable burden of responsibility on
Vermont, one OF the two remaining
states which are looked upon as at all
likely to ratify, the other state being
Connecticut. The other four states
which have not acted on the proposed
amendment to the constitution are all
southern states and headed by Demo
Gratis, who, as a rule, have not appeared
so favorabiy inclined to the amend
ment as the Republicans. The four
southern states are Louisiana, Florida
North Carolina and Tennessee. In case
either Delaware or Washington fail to
ratify the amendment, it is certain
that the efforts would be redoubled in
Vermont to have Governor Clement
call a special session of the legislature
in order to act on the amendment.
That is why Vermont will watch the
proceedings so carefully in those two
states, beginning March o.

The opposition to the appointment
of cambridge Colby as secretary of
state has decided to withdraw its OBJ
strlction to the confirmation of the
appointment by the Senate; and it
seems to have been wise decision,
There are stiIl some doubts as to
whether Colby is just the sort of man
to meet the requirements of the high
position, but it is evident that he is
the sort of man whom President Will
son wants and 1t has apparently devel.
oped, too that there are no eonstitu-
tional objections to the appointment of
the man. The latter considerations
outweigh the former. So the usual
procedure goes on, with the steps for
the confirmation Of the appointment.
In securing Gov. Coolidge of Massa-
chusetts as commencement visitor
and speaker, the University of Yer
mont has made plans for an unusual

Coolidge for some high position is still
quite strong. Incidentally, he may be
expected to give sensible exposition
OF some timely topic at the commence

First, one of our town officers has

quired by the law, which l understand
is a mile and half OF these children,
one lived a mile and quarter and the
other, boy IL years old, lived one
mile from the nearest school, and this
town officer has been paid town and

which would amount TO $500 or $500, or
more, while the child of another resi-

mile and a half from school was re-

they would not pay; that he could keep

MIR. Hillegas, the state school super

TO pay up, which of course they had
to, and when they found out that this
town officer couldn't get paid any more,
they thought il would be wise to stop
paying for all children, regardless of
distance, and, of course. it was voted
yes" Is that good business?
