TIE MARCH OF THE CARAVAN,
The Picturesque Sight That Meets tn
Traveller In the Lone Desert.


Traveller In the Lone Desert
Chicago Inter ocean.l
Perhaps the weirdest and most impressive
of the many unwonted memories that the
raveler carries away with him from
travel in the East is the recollection of
the camel caravans which he has encoun-
tered at night.
Out of the black darkness is heard the
dist ant boom of heavy BELL. Mournfully
and with perfect regularity of iteration it
sounds, gradually swelling nearer and
louder, and perhaps mingling with the
tones of smaller bells signaling the rear
guard of the same caravan. The big bell is
the insignia and alarm of the leading camel
alone. But nearer and louder as the sound
becomes, not another sound and not a visi-
BILE object appear to accompany it. Sud-
denly, and without the slightest warning,
there looms out of the darkness, like the ap-
partition of phantom ship, the form of the
captain of the caravan. His spongy tread
sounds softly on the smooth sand, and like
great string of linked ghoulsa the silent
procession stalks by and is swallowed up
in the night. -
And how wonderful and ever-present is
the contrast in Eastern travel to all life
and movement at home! No heavy carts
and numbering wagons jolt to and fro be-
tween the farm yards and the fields. No
light vehicles and swift equippages dash
past upon macadamized roads. Alas! there
are no roads; and if no roads, how much less
any vehicles or wagons. -Thatched roofs
ana tiled cottages, lanes and hedgerows and
trim fields, rivers coursihg between full
banks, beyond all the roar and sudden
smoky rush of the trainZthese might not
exist in the world at all, apd do not exist
in the world of the Persian, straitened and
stunted, but inexpressibly tranquil in his
existence. Here all is movement and
bustle, fux and speed; there everything
is impelturbable, immemorial, immutable,
slow.

"Unearned increment"

A piece of property was sold in this
city on a prominent corner for $500
front foot. 1t was owned, as many
other valuable corners are owned, by d
gentleman who does not live here, who
does nothing to build it up or advance
its progress. Other people who come
here live here and share the failures
of the city. have built around it and in
creased its value. enriching an alien
landlord wEo. having no use for the
property himself would not permit 9TH
ers to use it unless they had paid him
an eXOrbitant rent, and who would
not permit the users to own it until
they had paid him an eXOrbitant price.
This gentleman was enabled to hold
this property because he escaped taxa
ton. While he demanded $50, 900 for
the property, he had it valued on the
tax books at 5000, thus giving him
SIT 900 worth of untaXed property that
he held without penny's expense until
people were forced to come to his terms.
This is not right. There is somebody or
some system at fault. The poor man who
OWLS a little home worth 81 800, and on
which he owes perhaps $500. is taxed to
the full measure of his wealth. There
is no escape for him. The rich man
who owns dollars where the poor man
owns cents. is exempt. 1t may be stat
ed that there is not small house in the
city that is valued at $4,000 that could
be sold for its assessed value. Yet here is
one piece of property valued at $4,000
more than it was assessed foe, and upon
which its owner enjoyed immunity from
taxation for that amount. Verify there
is something wrong. The single tax or
some other method will have to be
adopted before long in the cities.
The high price of Memphis realty has
been a great drawback to the city.
Owners who do not use the land are
able to hold it and prevent others from
using it. Manufacturers seeking 1oca-
tons are met on the threshold of their
investigation with exorbitant prices
for land, and many are scared away.
The sum of 81 900 front foot is price
that few are able to pay. and the less
these prices are exploited the better Tor
the city. No one can be blamed for get
ting all he can for his property when
he consents to sell, but the system that
permits one man to become wealthy
through no efforts of his own and as a
result of other peoples efforts should
not exist.-Memphis (Tenn.) Public

The "Sooner."

A few weeks ago the Lake Travers.
reservation. and yesterday the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe reservations were opened
to white settlement. For days prior to
the dates of opening, settlers and spec
ulators were crowding about the border
in readiness for rush when the signal
should come from detachment of the
regular army which was experimenting
this 'catch-as-catch-can" distribution of
land; and all the wild scenes of the
Oklahoma opening were repeated.
The ''sooner" too, was there.
The sooner is new term, but it de-
scribes an old parasite. When rescr-
walton is to be opened, the ''sooner" Sc
cretly crosses the border in advance,
and with the advantage this gives him
secures a choice place before any of
those who wait for the rush can posi-
bly, select what they want. That is the
sooner of the reservation country.
Elsewhere he does his ''sooning" openly
and above board. He is even regarded
by some people as public-spirited man,
who takes up land. and by boarding it
in, mailing it down, tying it up, or other
wise preventing it from running into the
sea or flying off into space, ''holds it I'M
til it is wanted" John Jacob Astor was
typical sooner" Finding that there
was great deal of land on Manhattan
island which no one needed at the time,
and fearing that it might depart like a
thief in the night, he obtained posses
sion of some of it and held it till more
people came and paid him handsomely
for his foresight. The Aston family
has been family of ''sooners' ever
since Observing that the land most
needed in New York city is along what
is called the backbone. and intending
to do all the good in their power, they
have left it to others to prevent the es-
cape of the land on each side. them
selves holding tenaciously to the back
bone. and in advance of its demand for
use taking possession of more and more
of it before any suspicion that it would
be in demand could prompt it to run
away. Doubtless there are in every city
and growing town one or more "soon-
ers'' like the Astors.
But we appreciate our "sOoners." We
protect them by our courts, and keep
their taxes down to the lowest point,
fearing that if we did not they would
grow respondent and resentful, and by
abandoning our vacant land allow it to
run off and hide. Not SO with Uncle
Sam. He actually sends soldiers after
his ''sooners to drive them from the
reservations. His policy is bad. Some
time when he opens a reservation, hav-
ing excluded the ''sooners," all that va
cant land will have gone to parts I'M
known while the anxious settlers were
waiting at the boundary line for per-
mission to lay hold upon a piece.-The

that she should advise her young lady

a humiliating discovery to find that the
lofty philosophy of the Chelsea sage
could not be reconciled with the petty
sneers and Miniature of his common con-
