MAYOR TEAGuE.

The wishes of the people of Mont. gomery..a as expressed at the polls last May, went into effect last night, when Hon. William M. Teague took the oath okssofiice as Mayor. That he goes into office with the hearty good will and best wishes of all our people, may we'll be taken for granted Since the close of the polls and declaration of result of the primary there has been only one thought--and that hearty support of the new Mayor in every step he takes towards enforcement of the law, and adding to the prosperity of the city.
 Mayor Teague possesses many eie- ments of character needed by one at the head of a city government. He has fine business ability, an uncommon amount of good. hard horse-sense, ad- ministrative and executive capacity and untiring energy. All these qualities are needed at this juncture, for there are many municipal problems still in front of the Mayor and the new coun- cil The next two years will be busy ones for the growing city. and the new administration will have its hands full from the start
 In all that Is undertaken for the good of the community, The Advertiser will do its full part in upholding the hands of the Mayor and all of those who have been called to positions of authority.

Judge Vandeventer Hears Argument on
 Defendant's Demurrer.

Defendants Demurrer.
 St. Louis, Oct. 16.-The hearing of arguments by Judge Vandeventer in the United States Circuit Court on the de- murrer of United States Senator Burton of Kansas, to the indictment charging him with having used his influence in behalf of the Rialto Grain and Securi- ties Company of St. Louis before the Postofice Department, began today.
 Senator Burton was reindicted last spring after his case had been sent back by the Supreme Court and the in- dictment charges him with knowingly receiving compensation while a United States Senator for services rendered in a case then pending in which the United States Government was Inter- ested
 Attorney Haynes of Chicago, counsel for Burton. declared today that the in- dictment fails to charge that Burton knew of the case then pending against the Rialto Company. He contended the word knowingly in the indictment only extends to the question of his having accepted compensation. and that it cannot be extended to be an aliega- ton that Burton knew of the case pend- ing.
 Attorney Haynes argued farther that while the indictment alleges that Sena- tor Burton agreed to receive compen- sation for his services. it does not set out with whom he agreed. The in- dictment, he argued, does not specify as to the services rendered or when services were to be rendered.
 It is alleged by the indictment, Haynes stated. that the question being investigated by the Postofice Depart ment was whether the Rialto Company had violated Section 54S0 of the crim- inal statutes. The only power that makes such an investigation, he ar- gued. is a court, and if the Postoffice Department was making such investi- gation, 1t was without right.
 Senator Burton was present in court.

NEW YORK CITY POLITICS.

There Is a great mixinE-up in New York City politics, but there is no doubt of the Democratic ticket winning by large majority. Mcclellan has made fine Mayor. and nothing but the densest partisanship will cause men to vote against him. All admit that he is able clean and reputable, but the stereotype cry of Tammany domina- tion is raised against him. and with thousands of New York voters that is enough to cast them into the opposi- tion. The city affairs have been we'll administered and Mayor Mccleilan,s associates are men of affairs ana good repute.
 The New York World, which is gen orally Democratic. is opposing him, but admits the hopelessness of efforts to defeat him. The New York Sun, which for some years has been strongly Re- publican, is ably advocating Mcclellan's reelection. The Times. which opposed him two years ago. is now warmly for him. Hearst's American. which at the last moment declared for him in 1903. has been beating the air for months in favor of anyone to lead the opposing forces He has accepted the nomina- tion of the Municipal Ownership Asso- citation and is himself a vigorous can didate for Mayor with q full list of candidates for other positions.
 In Brooklyn borough the head of the opposition to the regular Democratic borough ticket is Bird s. Coler. for sew eral years City Comptroller under Tam many elections. and a few years ago Democratic candidate for Governor of the State. It is thought that he and his ticket will make a close run, but will not lessen the chances of Democratic victory for the Greater New York De- mocracy.

IS TT EAsYy

correspondent of The New York Mail wants this resolution adopted generally: Resolved, That the Eng fish language is the easiest of all lan- guages to learn" If the correspondent was in earnest. we are of opinion that he has not studied the English lam guage. or he doesn't know half as much as he thinks he does--or he knows more than any human being can hold up un- der. If English is an easy language to learn. we pity those who tackle hard one. True, 1t may and does lack some of the roughness of German, Rus sian or Algonquin, and Is not such a rapid-fire speech as the French and probably some others, but if any man can fix metes and bounds to the eccen- tricities of English as she is spoke" or written. he can congratulate himself on having nothing more to learI It may look easy. but. as The Mall gays: [
 The farther one gets into the myste- rious depths of the language. the more dificult 1t Is found. It's rules of spell violated It gives a new value to every vowel, and pronounces the same vowel three different ways in the same word. Its idioms are innumerable and inexplicable. Its syntax follows no European model Besides that, 1t Is not merely one language, but many. The Germans say 1t Is monster with two mouths, speaking Teuton with one mouth and Latin with the other; but 1t Is worse than that. Sometimes, IS in the writings of Waiter Pater, 1t speaks Latin with it's Teuton mouth. It Is seldom mastered even by its na- tive professors.
 If there is any written language in use that has more variations in or biography and pronunciation than ours has, we have not made it's ac- quaintance and do not care to. "Easyr indeed

Newspaper-Reading People.

Butte nter-Mountalff,
 The per capita consumption of paper in the United States is the highest in the world. and of tins amount the bulk is for daily newspapers. More than 650,000 tons of newspaper were printed in 1904 the total value of the paper being about $23,0oo.000. In 1890 less than 197000 tons, at a cost of about s13.ooO,000, supplied the demand. In reading people on earth and today we read three or four times as much. The greater part of advertising Is done on paper and the greater part of the paper consumed Is by newspapers. The con- clusion Is obvious--the advertiser has found the newspaper the most profitable field for investment. It is reckoned that by judicious advertising through dealer may reach 99 per cent of the buyers at comparatively small cost.

The Southern railroads have always taken deep interest In the development of the territory through which they run, They have been largely instru- mental In the development of indus- trial and agricultural activity along their lines. The recent report of the Southern Railway. for example, dwells upon the record of forty-six textile mills, thirty-four furniture factories. thirty-sight iron plants, thirteen cot. ton seed-oil mills, eight fertilizer works. seventy-seven stone quarrIes and coal mines and more than 500 minor works, put in operation along it's lines in the past year. besides a5o ex- isting plants enlarged and ffty-four new industries placed under construc- tion. The Louisville and Nashville re- port tells a similar story. Both re- ports indicate the growth of wholesome industrial and trade conditions.

THE PITY DE IF

One of the pitiful features Of the Taggard divorce scandal, as in all other such cases where there are children, is that they usually have to give up their parents. Just before the decision was rendered in the Taggart case giv- ing him the custody of their children, the oldest son said to his mother: will IT.
 There was the pity of 1t. There Ina been so much printed about this case that we have not kept up with 1t. The woman may be all that the man painted her, but to the boy she is that most sacred of all human beings-Mother. She may have done wrong. She may not be a proper person to have custody of the two children. but they do not know that to be true or why it should be true. To them she is mother" and they cannot understand why the decree of a court or the words of a tudre should change their relationship.
 There is always something obiec- tionable in divorces, but this is the really pitiful feature of them. When there are children. they are sometimes divided, and at other times one parent is given all of them. What judge or court has right to say that the man is no longer the father and the woman no longer the mother of the little ones who are too young to know what i, an means? How may the sacred condition of parenthood be set aside by any hu.
 man aet2 In many cases the children thus apportioned to one or the other parent are widely separated and nav not again meet on earth or may mse, in the distant years and pass as strans. CTS.

CHARLES TO BE CHOSEN KING.
If Republican Minority is Respectable,
 However. He May Decline.


 However, He May Decline. Christiania, Norway. Oct liking Oscars official refusal of the offer of the Norwegian throne for a prince of the house of Bernadotte is expected tomorrow when the Government will ask immediately the Storthing to au- thorize an invitation to Prince Charles of Denmark to become King. It is said that the reply will be fa- vorable and that immediately on its receipt the Storthing will proceed to his election. The Republicans are making desper- ate efforts to secure a plebiscite. To- night they publish manifesto protest ing against the election of q King, and favorine a republican form of govern~ ment. IL is understood that the Re publicans now control thirty votes in theStorthing, and It is feared that Prince Charles will decline if the Re- publican minority is sufficiently strong oIbe worthy of consideration.
 In Government circles, however, it Is declared that the question will be set tied before the end of the present week.

vorces, but certainly there are many which have no Justification. Some times, too, 1t may be that one parent is totally united to take charge of the mutual offspring.

 Gaynor and Green, the two thieves who robbed the government at Savan- nah of hundreds of thousands of dollars have been caught and taken to Savan- nah. where they will be tried. If the County and State officials always made inc effort the government has in this case, to see that thieves are convicted then there would be no need of mob law, or hangings in effigy, in our County or in the State.
