1 have been informed by the postmas-
ter general that he does not want to re-
appoint man whom formerly held the
position OF postmaster, unless he is the
only applicant. I intended to write to
you but l have been very busy. | put
the matter directly up to him in the case
of Halloween and he said he had made
it a rule in every case where there was
a contest not to reappoint man who
had held the office before. You know
that have no personal interest in the
matter but want to do what will help us
most 1 think that it is only fair to you
that 1 should write you the position

has made no exception but it is the rule
which he has laid down throughout the

nose, raising of mucous or spasmodic
coughing. and seem lacking in vitality,
you are affected with Catarrhal disease
that cannot be neglected since it often
leads to serious if not fatal ailment.
The ravages of catarrh will in time
wreck the health of even the strongest
person. Besides, catarrh is so unpleas-
anti makes your life miserable and an
noys your friends.
At the first catarrhal symptoms surely
use Hyomei. It's the right-to-t he-p point
remedy-you breathe it-no nauseating
drugs to upset your stomach.
Hyomei is combination of antiseptic
oils that you breathe into. the nose,
throat and lungs in the natural way.
Just put a few drops into the inhaler
and breathe it in. The germicidal fumes
mix with the air and at once penetrate

The Typical American.

The Americans as race walk bet
ter than we-more freely, with TAX
ing swing, and almost with grace.
How much of this is due to living in a
democracy, and how much to wearing
no braces, it is very difficult to deter
mine.
But certainly it is the land Of belts,
and therefore of more loosely moving
bodies.
Also. Americans take their coats off,
which is sensible. and they can do IT
the more beautifully because they are
belted and not braced. They take
their coats off everywhere and any
where, and somehow it strikes the
visitor as the most symbolic thing
about them. They have not yet
thought of discarding collars: but they
are unashamedly shirt sleeved.
Any sculptor seeking to figure this
republic in stone must carve in future
a young man, open faced, pleasant,
and rather vulgar, straw hat on the
back of his head, his trousers full and
sloppy, his coat over his arm. The
motto written beneath will be, of
course. This is some country" xx..

The philosophic gazer on such
monument might get some way toward
understanding the making of the
Panama Canal, that exploit that no
European nation could have carried
out.
The American race seems to have
developed two classes, and only two
the upper middle and the lower middle.
Their faces are very distinct. The
upper class head is long, often fine
about the forehead and eyes, and very
cleanly outlined. The eyes have an
odd, tired pathos in them-mixed with
the friendliness that is so admirable
as if of a perpetual, never quite sue
cessfuI, effort to understand some
thing.
1t is like the face of an only child
who has been brought up in the com
pany of adults. But the mouth OF
such men is the most typical feature.
1t is small, tight. and closed down
ward at the corners, the lower lip very
slightly protruding. 1t has very little
expression in it. and no curves. There
the Puritan comes out.
But no other nation has mouth
like this. 1t is shared to some extent
by the lower classes. but their mouths
tend to the wider and more expressive.
These, anyhow. are the types that
strike one in the Eastern cities. And
there are intermediate varieties, as or
the genial business man, with the mar
row forehead and the wide, smooth,
lower face.
The women's faces are more indie
terminate; not very feminine; many of
them wear those invisible" eye
glasses which center glitteringly about
the bridge of the nose, and get from
! them curious air of intelligence.
Handsome people of both sexes are
very common. beautiful and pretty
ones very rare.-Westminster Gazette.

Prof. Lewis ]. johnson of Harvard
University addressed the citizens of Gar
diner on the subject of Single Tax"
Tuesday evening at Library hall. This
is a subject which few people understand
as they should and Prof. Johnson's lee
ture brought to his auditors just what
they desired, as his address threw much
light upon the question. The speaker
was well received and the attention of
the audience attested their interest.
Prof. Johnson said in part:
Professor johnson
Professor Johnson spoke in part as
follows:
THE single tax should be regarded
as not only a satisfactory system of
taxation, but also a necessary pre-
requisite to permanent good times for
capital and labor.
1T means simply the raising of the
public revenue to gradually increas-
ing extent by collecting as taxes the
portion of the rental value of land not
due to improvements in, on, or under
the land. e., the site value of land
with a corresponding abolition of
taxes on personal property, and build
ings, machinery, live stock, rolling
stock, and all other products of indi-
vidual industry including improve
ments in the soil due to tilling. drain
ing and clearing. The present system
of taxation in spite of it's original fair
intent, operates to the sole and ex-
elusive benefit of the few who hold
valuably located land (Which they fire.
ouently neither use themselves nor
permit others to use) and whose chief
income is from the unnatural business
of appropriating the value of locations
and rights of way which the Creator
provided for all and to which the COM
nlunity itself gives the money value.
The proposed system is giving great
satisfaction in this and other coun-
tries, both in urban and in rural dis
tricts in proportion as it is fully put
in force.
The single tax tends to make it
more profitable to use valuably locat-
ed land than to hold it out of use. And
it is only by the use of valuably To-
Gated land that capital and labor can
be advantageously employed. Thus
only can we get food. clothing and
shelter not to mention the comforts
and luxuries of life. The basic evil
in the economic condition today in
our and in other countries is that,
while valuable land is all taken up
there are vast quantities that are not
in use-that are held for speculation
This is the natural result of the pres
ent taxation system which fosters
speculation at the expense of trade,
manufactures and agriculture. The
single tax would incline things the
other way. It would foster useful
trade and industry at the expense of
speculation. Under it the natural ten
denotes of human nature would find
their most profitable outlet in man
ner in harmony with social and bust
ness welfare Now the laws put their
premium on land speculation, which
| means the choking up of the source

Prof. Johnson, Harvard, Speaks
To Audience on "Single Tax

of all wealth not only for taxes but
for the necessities and comforts of
life.
ITO be more specific, | believe that
the single tax, by correcting this radl-
cally wrong condition, would make 1t
easier to own and keep a home with
some ground around it; easier to own
and run a well-kept and developing
farm; easier to establish and operate
manufacturing, mercantile, trans
portation or other useful business; to
diminish the overcrowding of cities
and to do away with slums; to make
preventive medicine effective; to re-
duce rents, lower the cost of living
and raise wages; and besides all this
would tend to increase the comforts
and security of life for all who useful
ly participate in the work of the world,
whether by hand brain or capital
whether in city or country. 1t should
make us a nation of land owners and
home owners. There is land enough.
Maine alone could house the whole
population of the United States with
a separate house and an acre of
ground to each family.
Correctly informed farmers realize
that the only thing taxable under the
single tax would be the unimproved
value of land-of which there is ex
| tremelv little in their farms. AS farm
ers are among those for whom the
community does least, their taxes
should be CORRESPONDENCE low. The
single tax would make them so

naturally favor the single tax as

nual meeting in Victoria, British Co
! Iumbia, held in January, 1913:
Whereas, under the present system
| of taxation, the tax on improved land
increases proportionately with the val
ne of such Improvement; and
Whereas, such increase is tax on
energy and enterprise; and
Whereas, the adoption of the sim

or to bring before the proper authori-

an urgent request that such steps may
be taken as will bring about the
| change desires.
1t should be remembered that Cana
! dian farmers are mostly owners OF
! their farms. For tenant farmers the
/ advantage would be still more strik-
ing.
As an initial step in this fundamen-
! tai solution of the tax problem and the
business problem, 1 would suggest
| changing the laws so as to permit
cities and towns by local option vote
as fast as they wish to do so, to stop
| taxing personal property and improve
ments on or in land, or TO tax them al
lower rates than site or location val
