A single tax advocate. referring 10 the anti
single tax meeting last Thursday. said TO TIE
STAR reporter he regretted the interruptions
that occurred, As it was evident they created
acrimonious feeling and tended TO widen the
breach rather than close il. and had no doubt

nothing. trusting 10 the good sense of the au-
dience TO distinguish between the true and the

tina: men who were known TO be industrious,
law-loving citizens. and some of whom had car

Arrangements are being made by the single
tax men TO have MIR. J. L. McCreery speak upon
the question on the 18th instant and discuss it
generally. A full opportunity will be afforded
the other side to ask questions and discIss the
matter from an antagonistic standpoint when
Mr.. McCreery has finished his address.
