TIE pretty schooimarms signalized the
close of their labOrs by a pillow fight in the
corridors of the Mansion House at an early
hour in the morning, which put in the shade
any ghost dance ever seen in the wild and
woody West.
The fight commenced at / 80. The signal
for battle was a genuine Lung Island City

teacher. Then party Of ghostly f. Ures
stole down the deserted hall of the hotel,
each one armed with pillow twisted into a
compact mass. The doors of the Sleepers'
rooms were attacked.
There were little screams from the dis
turbed teachers. Then a head would APP
pear in the door and Il frightened voice
would ask for an explanation OF the excite

swung by veteran who had often applied
the ruler to the anatomy of unruly scholars.
The unsuSpeeting teacher was then bounced
upon until she either surrendered and joined
the invading forces or escaped by crawling
under the bed.
In several cases where the teachers failed
to respond to they summons to come forth
the panels OF the door were spiIntered by
the amazouian warriors. In a few cases
teachers had prepared to repel the attack,
and, while the piilow-hghters were pound

were emptied through the fanlights upon
the heads of the assailants.

land is the cause of all advance. The
more liberty there is for thought and speech
the more progress will result. America has
been the foremost of all nations to guaran
tee liberty and equality. and as a result we
have such unparalleled progress. The line of
progress has been in curtaling the rights
of privileged classes and instituting equal
ity. We are now coming to a point where
our progress is being checked. The great
masses of our nation are becoming en-
shaved, for as the land of nation becomes
the property OF a few of its citizens the
masses are as much at their mercy as
though they were chattel slaves. Private
property in land is modern system of
slavery. Where land is all monopolized. as
it is in most European countries, and as it is
getting to be here, the landess are placed
at great disadvantage. which totally de-
stroys equality. Equality as to opportu-
mites in making living, ecu atty before
the law or in voting, We have, that is true !:
but OF what use is that TO a starving man
who would willingly sell those rights for a

with destruction unless we inaugGrate and

tunities for making a living"
