Land and Its Owners.

Two letters in The Standard of May
IS have attracted considerable atten-
ton, In one w. u. Ogden. of Baltimore,
champions the Justice of land owner
ship while Mr.. Leedom heads his letter
Land Owning n Crime" These men
seem to be about as far apart as 1t
would be possible to get, yet / believe
both are right, each from his own
point of view, while both are wrong,
each from the Others point of view
They remind me forcibily of the two
men in the fable who met on opposite
sides of sign board. They will not
agree until each can see the other side
of the board. Possibly can help them
| to do that.
All will agree that the continuous
private possession of land is essential
| tc its best use, and even more; thai
such possession is the very foundation
OF civilization. Whence comes the
right of each landholder to the contin
| mons possession Of the land he calls hi:
own? All life on earth requires lano
for its usc-land in the economic mean
| ing of the term. Mans presence herr
confers on him a right to use land. HI
does not get the right from government
he can not obtain it from society, 70
ing. and society is simply result o
mans living with his fellows in clos
relations The right of an individual
to take possession of and continuousl
use a piece of land is thus seen to be
natural right independent of govern
mental euactneEts or social customs
Governments or societies may acknow
edge this right or they may deny il
they can not create nor destroy it.
agree fully with Mr.. Ogden tina
the private ownership of land, in an.
sense in which land can ever be owne

THE FUTURE OF PARAGUAY.

Distaste of the Population For Week an
Obstacle to Progress.
AS regards the future of Paraguay,
there can be no doubt that the country
has great natural resources, and that 1t
could be immensely and rapidly de-
veloped by the introduction of Euro
pean colonists. 1t is probable, too, that
the English capitalists will in the near
future manifest greater and greater in
terest in Paraguay, and that a part OF
the interest hitherto monopolized by
the Argentine republic will be trans
ferred from the discredited country to
the new paradise in the interior, where
the conditions in general are not un-
favorable, as we have already seen.
Furthermore, if we admit that progress
is desirable, and that it is good for men
to toll and earn their bread by the
sweat of their brows, and abstraction
being made of humane and sentimental
considerations, it might be argued that
the war almost of determination which
the Argentines and the Brazilians
waged against the Paraguayans was a
blessing for the country and for human.

of useless creatures, and left the ground
