Laughter the Best Tonic.

Laughter is a good, healthy, muscle.
making. lung-developing exercise. and
1t is as good for girls as boys. And
humor can be cultivated in a girls
mind without any abatement Of the
dignity and modesty and charm OF
her womanhood. Not the unpleasant
and constant frivolity evidenced in
smart" speech or quickness of rep
artee, but the humor that looks at
the world with a twinkle in the eye
and sees its absurdities, its smallness
and its fun, says writer. 1t should
be part OF every woman's mental
equipment, for women are called up
on to bear so many of life's small
worries as well as its greater ones.
The bringing up of children. the care
Of servants. and the many social du.
ties that become burden, are all
made easy and possible to put up
with by the woman with an unfailing
sense of humor and Of the bright side
OF life.

No Need for Young Man TO Carry Ex

A young man who had inherited a
large fortune from a rich but very
economical relative decided to live on
a scale commensurate with his great

arrangements to build fine mansion,
buy an automobile and invest in other
expensive luxuries, when an elderly
friend who had always been one of
his advisers undertook to demonstrate
with him. What's this l hear about

The Change In Surgeons.

"The surgeon Of the past was a
huge, coarse, red-faced brute, very
terror" said a surgeon of the present.
And no wonder. What type OF man
but the brute type could cut off legs
or saw through the skull while the pa
tlent. perfectly conscious, howled and
wept? In the past surgery was barred
to gentle and refined men. Whatever
their interest in anatomy. in medicine,
they stunned surgery. They could not
endure to operate upon a conscious
subject. The advent Of anaesthetics
caused the advent Of new men into
surgery. Men Of delicacy, Of sympathy.

the profession up. That is why surg.
cry is continually advancing now,
whereas in the past 1t stood dead

PENNELL WILL CONSENT
To Having His Name Placed
Before Convention.
Republicans Realize That They Have
No Easy Task When 1t Comes to
Defeating Lewis Scherff.

Peter c. Sells, former county
sheriff, is not hungering very rave
nously after the mayorality plum.
|He admits that there has been con-
siderable talk of his going after the
republican nomination this year, but
|he says that at no time has he

1--WE been bothered almost every
lday by some of my friends asking
inc to go after the nomination." the
former sheriff stated Wednesday,
I"Tve thought the thing over care
fully, however, and / don't think
will go into the fight"
The tone OF determination In this
declaration of Mr.. Sells was not
very pronounced, however. and 1t Is
thought that If much pressure Is
brought to bear, he will consent to
become Mayor ScherfPs adversary
at the polls next fall.
The ex-sheriff says that he does
not like the idea of looking after
all Of the petty and disagreeable
matters which come before the
mayor. II he should take the nomi-
nation, he says he realizes that he
would not be seeking job that
gives man assurance of two years
|repose on the proverbial fiowery beds
of ease.
The republicas of the city do not
expect to have any difficulty, how
ever. in finding candidate for the
mayorality. They admit generally
that 1t will take a mighty strong
man to make any kind OF a showing
against Mayor Scherff, and they are
even now making an effort to find
such a man. They figure that should
Sells be nominated he would receive
the solid vote of certain element
which does not regard Mayor Scherff
with much favor.
1t Is generally considered that In
view of the excellent work OF re-
form which Mayor Scherff has eff
lfected during the first term. he will
be strong among the better class OF
leitizens. For this reason there are
some prominent republicans who be-
llieve they should put a man in the
field who can meet the doughty lit.
tie mayor on his own ground. For
this reason there are some who are
boosting for Robert j. Pennell, a
local mail carrier. 1t is said that
iPennell would not be adverse to &c.
cept the nomination and that he VIII

fPAiiaG AND u lrvING TAxtS +

Referring to the six million dollar
capitol building at Madison, Wis. and
its contention that governments are
costing too much, the Ohio Magazine
hints at point that cannot be too
gravely considered. The point IL this
1T 10 no apology for public extrava-
gance to say that the corporations pay
the cost. That is perfectly true.
II seems to be an object Of govern
ment to hide from taxpayers the fact
that they are bearing any burdens at
ali. They are made to believe that
the corporations furnish the public
money, and they are thereby relieved
Of paying taxes. But where do the
corporations get their money. II not
OF the people? And whenever an ex-
ira burden is put upon the corporation,
II is Immediately transferred to the
shoulders of the, people, who pay It
out of the sugarbowl, the skillet, the
coal pile, the trolley ride, and the walk
down town.
WELL" one says. that's the kind Of
taxation-where one feels II to the
least possible extent" And that is the
kind of taxation that is the mother
of half the graft, corruption and ex-
travagance in this country. When the
so-called statesmen make man be-
lieve that somebody else 10 paying his
;axes, they go on spending his money
in all needless and extravagant ways.
When a man is made to feel that a
corporation pays his taxes, he Is not
so apt to inquire what becomes OF the
money, Any old political machine can
have 1t for all he cares.
In an article In Moodv's Magazine.
by r. l.. Bridgeman, occurs this OBJ
servation: "A policy OF direct taxation
is more conducive to honest admins
tration than the policy Of indirect tax
alton, whereby the people do not
know how much money is taken from
them, and therefore have less personal
interest in demanding what becomes
Of IT," II is this easy paying taxation,
this belief that the corporations are
paying the bills, that leads the people
to look on with unconcern at the out
rageous extravaganza that Is going on.
Every man should understand that
the dollar the corporation pays to the
public treasury II exacts from him,
and as an intelligent and dutiful citi-
zen he should see that II is not use
lessly and lavishly spent.-Editorial:

IMPROVING TAX LAWS.

Taxation is the subject Of investiga-
ton and discussion in many states,
and In three reports have been made
by special commissions which give an
interesting indication of the present
trend Of expert opinion.
New York's commission recon-.
mends the abolition of the tax on per-
sonal property and the imposition OF
q progressive tax on inheritances. The
California commission is also opposed
to taxing personal property, but as
serts that II 1t is to be taxed the rev.
enue should go to the counties ex-
clusively with the revenue from the
tax on realty. II is further recon-
mended that all corporations and
franchise taxes be reserved to tho
state.
The report of the Massachusetts,
commission proposes the taxation OF
direct as we'll as collateral Inherit
ances, Of billboards and OF stock
transfers, the retention OF all fran
chise exactions by the state, and
graded tax on automobiles. It Is as.
serted that with these additional lev
les, the Bay State could readily
enough abolish the tax on realty as
we'll as on personal property, except
for municipal purposes.
Here In Rhode Island the system OF
taxation is inadequate and inequitable'
but no effort toward betterment has
been or is likewise to be made as Ions
as the country towns are In the as
endant.-Providenc News-Democrat

TAXATION AND
REFORM IN OREGON

The legislature Of the state Of Oregon
has been working out taxation problems
during its last session. In line with other
progressive states, an amendment to tn
Oregon constitution is proposed. Tho
citizens interested In tax reform want
an amendment giving the legislature the
broad power OF classifying the subject of
taxation and deciding what will be taxed
for state ana what for local purposes
Oregon has had taxation commission
at work for some time. From its report.
recently submitted, the conclusion reach
Cd there IL that the general property tax
IL not working well and that It ought to
be abolished In part at least. II ID sug-
gssted that II would be well TO have sep
arats sources for revenue for state and
for local government. and the only way
TO attain this y By amending ths censu-
tutisA.
