Ralph E. Hoyt on Henry George.

In closing the last lecture Of the
course delivered by Ralph E. Hoyt in
Sap, francisco recently, under the au-
spices of the single tax society Of that
city, the speaker paid deserved com.
pliment to Henry George, which the
audience greeted with tremendous ap-
plause. Mr.. Hoyt said:
As this city was for many years the
home of Henry George, and the scene
of his, cary labcYs for reform, am un-
willing toilet this occasion pass without
saying few words about the great
leader of the single tax movement. The
noblest hero of the age is not he who
leads armies into battle and drenches
the earth with blood; but he who, with
heart and brain, with tongue and pen,
bravely fights the battles of the people
against unjust laws and popular iniqui-
ties. Such q hero is Henry George. He
does not claim to have originated the
single tax theory. 1t originated with
the human family-as long ago as the
first human being trod the soil OF this
revolving world. But Henry George
has done far more than any other man
to develop, to push forward to popular
ize the God-given idea that the land
belongs to the people, for their use, and
therefore should not be monopoiized.
In all his labors and struggles for hu.
manity, this principle has been his in
spiration A few years ago he was
| called dreamer, a crank, then an
anarchist But later on these epithets
gave way for such terms as agitator,
economist, prophet and philosopher.
To-day the most intellectual and in
fiuential men of America, Europe and
Australia are proud to meet him and
| glad to hear him talk. With a pure
character, clear head and an honest
heart, he has steadfastly advocated the
grand idea of free land for all, until to-
day its reiterations are heard through
out the civilized world.
Let us who grasp this idea cleave te
it and battle for it, under the banne,
erected by Henry George; never ceas
ing our efforts till the victory is won, OF
till he and we have graduated from this
primary department Of life's unendinf
school, into the broader realms ant
clearer light of an eternal day.

. Hot Water Drinking.

The amount OF hot water which one
should take depends upon what the hot
water is drank for. If a person has an
attack of rheumatism he should take
moderate quantities of hot water as
often as possible, in order to rinse the
system out and get rid of the uric acid
as speedily as he may. If he has dys-
pepsia, hot water is administered as a
deturgent, and it is good idea to take
two OR three glasses at once, half an
hour or SO before eating. This will fill
the stomach so full that it will dump
itself and so get clear Of any undtgesteG
tse1 and mucous.-Dr, ]. f. Kellogg,

Lonely is to one,

For Once the Press is Right.

The New York Press refers to the in
cident recently commented upon in the
Standard, in which man named San
ford, after he could no longer escape
paying fair tax on q vacant lotln New
Haven, proceeded to erect a fine build
ing on it, because he could no longer
afford to let it lie idle and pay taxes
upon it. The Press commends this in
cident to the consideration Of the
New York tax department and
urges it to adopt the plan OF
the Bridgeport assessors. 1t says:
''There is utter disproportion between
the listed values Of unimproved and inn
proved property on Manhattan Island,
to the disadvantage Of the owners of
that which is improved. The owners of
the unimproyed property are largely
spectators, while the owners of inn
proved property are investors and pay
double because of the evasion OF the
Others"
THE value Of land does not express
the reward OF production, as does the
the value of crops, Of cattle, OF build
ings, or any of the things which are
styled personal property and improve
ments. 1t expresses the exchange value
OF monopoly. It is not in any case the
creation of the individual who owns the
land: it is created by the growth of the
community. Progress and Poverty.
THE farmer is apt to cry out against
what he calls the injustice OF exempt
ing the magnificent buildings, some
times erected in cities, from all taxa
ton, forgetting that such buildings al
ways stand upon the most expensive
land, while his own farm house and
barus stand upon land OF utterly insig
niicant value.

has presented (En. Brit, Finance) this
aspect of Athenian taxation. 1.-THE ex-
traordinary taxes on property which
the government levied, and which the
contributors paid, apparently with the
greatest readiness" Why SO? We find
that st was graduated, being heavier

to such compact others pay their
share willingly. 1t is not SO

the canons of Adam Smith, but is also
unrighteous, and every moral consider

Citizens over Eleventh street bridge
and In the eastern section Of the city
on west theside of the Brandywine are
complaining very IN oh at the incon-
venience afforded by tho last plan Of
running horse cars from Front and
Union streets along Front to French
up French to Fourth and on over the
Eleventh street bridge.
They say that when they want to 20
to Fourth and Market, they 20 to
French, within two squares OF the
place, and there they are taken down
French street to Front where they
have to be transferred TO an electric
car where they are In danger OF being
run over at that crowded point.
Here they are one square farther
away from where they wanted to 20
than they were at Fourth aud French.
After running the gauntlet OF q regu-
lar succession OF passing cars on that
street for two squares they get to Mar
ket street where they are still square
farther from their objective point than
when at Fourth and French. After GO
Ing up Market street to Fourth they
will be within two squares of Fourth
and French, having rode eight squares
to reach a point only two squares off.
The more the people try the new plan
the more they dislike It and they talk
