 the business the rich men and big con cerns should be taxed exactly as the common people are. no more and no less. If, We should commend favorit- ism we should argue that the very ricf should pay higher rate than the poor do, because they are better able to pay 1t. but that would not be equal and exact justice, and the law should not have any favorites in this matter. One thing Is certain. however, and that is that as long as a concern like Standard oil can dodge more than nine-tenths of the burden of taxation somebody must make up the shortage. and that somebody Is the common peo- pie who can't dodge.

Cyril Maude.

Cyril Maude, the English actor. who toured America a year ago, was born in London. April 24, 1882, MT. Maude was no stranger to America when he came over year ago, for 1t was on this side of the Atlantic that he gained his early stage training. When he was d youngster, his rowing instincts took him from home. He was wandering through the United States when his funds gave out. Having recourse to talent he had used hitherto as an anna teur, he sought employment as an ac- tor, and in a short time was a member of Daniel Bandmann's company. With that veteran, he played for several years. He went back to England about twenty years ago and within four years of his return he had gained q foothold in London. His rise since then has been rapid. In 1896 he ven tured to take the title of actorman- ager. and became partner in the man. agement of the Haymarket Theatre. MT, Maude has had the assistance of his wife, Miss Winifred Emery in most of the plays in which he has apeared since he became manager.

 The MontEomery Advertiser is dis cussing the origin of laughter. Per haps the first cachination rippled out on the air of Eden when Eve saw the way Adam looked in his new xigleaf Ant.
 Now we hadn't thought of that possi- bility. Eve had never seen any one with a full suit of clothes on, and 1t is presumable that there were no faiiors doing business at that stage of the game. Even the serpent that got them into the scrape probably slunk off into the tall timber and left them to their own devices. And we've no { doubt that the old man was 8 Iaughabie sight with his new outfit As to that matter, does our contempor- ary think Eve's dress was any better2 It may be that Adam indulged fin A sly snicker when he saw her trying to keep her lesfy skirts straight.

Letters to The Editor
Peliteness. Editor The Advertiser:

Editor The Advertiser;
 There is so much independence among our people that genuine polite dren are rarely taught 1t in the home and hence 1t is neglected in school.
 The children disregard decrepitude and a,sa.a aoary age e., and pass each on the ing either look of recognition much less respectful salutation.
 The children should be. carefully lite and respectful to superlors Every boy should be taught to raise his nat to every lady, every gentlemen and every old person whom he meets. seen to raise his hat to an old negro man who was passing and was asked why he raised his hat to a negro. His reply was because he raised his hat negro slave to surpass me in polite ness" Thus acted the Father of His Country, How few of our school boys eyer narn heard of this i, incident: The State heavy taxes and make large appro priations for the schools why should not parents do their part in the train ing of the children? It is largely be- cause they themselves are strangers to
 What man or woman is so callous that he or she Is not moved to a feel ever humble in station. wko bows low or bares his head in passing you? This respect is the internal promptings ot nature. Is 1t an indication of good Sromptines w ep of nature e or 'id should 'lse the young learn to always return the saiu- tation gracefully? It Is a duty every parent owes to the child to teach it to be polite and the province of the teach CT to impart the art of doing 1t grace fully.
 The Japanese are said to be the po- iitest people in the world and their par ents and teachers in their kindergar- ten begin teaching them politeness as soon as they can walk, and no people ever made such progress as they have intelligence within the last half cen tury.
 Grown people Of all classes and with out regard to color will meet. engage thing else and regardless of the rights of all others, stop up doorway or a sidewalk and expect others to walk around them, When grown up people best rank and station are so careless or rather regardless of the rights of others how can we expect anything better of the childreng It has been said that politeness was innate, and it may be- but can be cultivated as well as other things can be acquired The greatest citizen Alabama ever tained the eminence of vice-President of the United States, William Rufus King, was acknowledged to be the most polite and courtly gentleman of all the prominent men the State ever produced. Among the citizens of Montgomery at this time there Is q gentleman now passed his S0th birth day, who. while never aspiring to any high official station, is one of the most polite men to be met with anywhere.
 It does ones heart good to see the old man on the street, as erect as In young manhood. raise his hat and bow low to ladies and gentlemen of his early acquaintance, and with a modi- fled salutatfon to the boys and young misses. Everybody, not only revers but loves that old man because he IS so polite and courtly. Everyone knows
 Let the boys be taught to emulate his example. Politeness is a cheap but valuable accomplishment

 If certain class of citizens will place dynamite on a street car track to destroy property and lives, they would not hesitate to use it on your resi- dence, and thereby murder your fam fly; neither would they stop when 1t comes to use the pistol or the bludgeon on your individual person when met in the dark.

ber Of years.
on Industrial subjects Mr.. Wright
is recognized as one Of Americas lead
Ing thinkers. The fact that he has
never been regarded ~ especially IA
vorabe 10 great corporations lends adj
dcd weight TO his statement. He speaks
~ u student and thinker, ana not az
an advocate for great aggregadons Of
wealth. Just at this time Mr.. Wright's
summing up Of the present commercial
situation Is especially happy. There
IN c0nsidcrablc apprehension among
the administration leaders that the
prevailing sentiment In the country,
IcVelled at corporations, In the end
win have a tendency to shake existent
prosperity If It does not overthrow It.
That this belief IS entertained not
only by cabinet officers but Is shared
by the President ~ well, is seen in
practically all Of the public documents
that have commanded the attention
Of the present Congress, from the Presi
jents message down TO the various re-
ports Of the heads Of the different de-
partmcnts. Every one Of the writer's
urges caution on the part Of the pub
lie In IT'S treatment Of business trans-
actions. The unmasking of a prau-
cal corporations, which form Il very
small percentage OF the whole, seem
10 have aroused In the American pup
lie determination to fall upon all
corporations and destroy them, whe-
ther they be evil or good. This spirit
is reflected in the State legislatures,
which in number Of States al the
present time are engaged In the ex-
element or the consideration Of dras-
tic laws for the supervision Of private
business enterprise.

NOVEL CURE FOR COLDS.
Healing Medication that is Breathed,
Giving Quick Relief.

1t seems just as ridiculous to put
medicine into the stomach to cure a
cold In the head or lungs as It does
70 go out In the rain If we want to
keep dry.
The fact that many people right in
Astoria cough and hawk and snufle
for days and weeks after they treat
cold with the usual stomach dos.
Ing, shows how yaluelcss are the or
dinary cough and cold cures.
The right way to cure a cold in the
head or cough and irritation In the
throat and lungs Is by breathing Hyo-
mel medlcated air. Put a few drops
Of Hoyenni In the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit and
breathe this healing air for few
times and immediate relief will be
noted. The medication goes right to
the spot where the disease germs are
located and renders them harmless In
the future.
At the same time the soothing and
healing effects Of Hyomei on the mu-
tated mucous membrane gives quick
relief and the cough or cold is broken
up.
The best evidence Of the great value
Of Hyomei In curing coughs, cold and
all bronchial troubles Is the fact that
T. F. Laurin gives an absolute guar
antee with every outfit he sells that IL
it does not give satisfaction the mon
ey will be refunded
A complete Hyomei outfit consist
ing of bottle Of Hyomei, the Inhaler
and medicine dropper, costs but 81,
while extra bottles Of Hyomei, if need
cd, can be obtained for only SOC.
