Spanish crowns title come from?
From the pope. What right had the
pope to give away all Mexico and Calir
fornia to the Spanish crown? There
we are stuck What right had he to
say the Spanish crown should have II
and should have the right to keep away
Americans and Englishmeu who had
teen on the spot first, and tn keep
away everybody else? Look at the
titles which we have in Brooklyn. We
trace them back to Dutch forefathers
Where did they get the title to the
land? By giving little trinkets to the
Indians? How did the Indians get it?
A branch of the Algonquin Indians got
it because they were mighty warriors
and killed or drove off everybody else.
That is what almost all titles to land
come to in the end. 1t is the power OF
physical might which has established
itself over weakness. Might has made
it. But might never makes right;
that is the difficulty. And Mr.. George
holds that almost all the misery which
is to be found in our modern life pro-
ceeds from the fact that men have &C
knowledged this right and title in GER
tain individuals to hold land. Near
Tipperary, in ireland. land is used for
pasturing, from which the users are
obliged to pay $50. so year rent, and
they have to compete in the making
of butter witE 5uttcr from Holland and
from America 1t can not be done, and
the consequence is that those people
live by sending their children out to
beg. In another part of Ireland saw
a little tract of beautiful land in a ster.
lie neighborhood There were two or
three acres of it-deep, rich soil
| asked how such soil came there, and
the woman told me that her husband
and his father and his father before
him had scraped the rocks on the up
lands and brought the soil there,
bit by bit, in wheelbarrows They
| were supporting themselves fairly well
there raising potatoes on the land, I'M
til the landlord appeared on the scene
and said: "You have fine piece OF land
here, which certainly is worth $50 an
acre rent" And SO he compelled them
to pay this rent for the land which they
had brought down there in wheelbar'
row, and they were then obliged to
beg with children following them who
could not afford to wear shoes on Their
feet during any portion of the year
Look at Scotland, and there you viii
find great tracts of land where former
ly were scores of prosperous villages
where men were living and earning
good, honest income, the yeomanry O
Scotland Certain great Scotch land
lords, who have gotten rich, have said
I'VE do not want these troublesome peo
pie here; we want this as range for dee
and. sheep and cattle" And they hav'
simply evicted scores of villages by tn
wholesale. where the people. had live'
for generations. and paid them nothing
for the improvements which they ha'
made on the land; and they turned tn
hand into these great hunting grounds

The Drexel Institute of Art, Science
and Industry has been dedicated at
Philadelphia. II was built and endow-
ed by Anthony j. Drexel, head of the
banking firm Of Drexel & Co. Its scope
and objects, as outlined br1he founder.
are 1.-THE extension and id pvement OF
industrial education as q means of open
ing better and wider avenues OF employ
ment to young men and women What
an illustration this is Of the truth. first
put in words by Tolstoi. that rich men
are willing to do anything for the poor
except to get of from their backs We
do not mean, of course, that Mr.. Drexei
is literally or even metaphoricaliy
astride of any poor mans back Nor
do we question his motives in erecting
the institute But he lives where poor
men are kept poor, and ignorant men
ignorant by laws that obstruct the ex-
ercise by individuals of their natural
powers. He sees the effect and depiores
it: but he does not see the cause, or, II
he does, he ignores it And so, with all
charity, he attempts to cure the erect
without removing the cause In this
sense it is that, plying the poor, ne
would serve them in every way except
by getting off their backs
To omen better and wider avenues OF
employment is the one great necessity
of our time. To do that is to begin to
make men free. to develop their pow
ers, to abolish their poverty. But what
Mr.. Drexel proposes as means OF ac-
complishing this is to increase the pow
crs of the poor without touching the
conditions that make mems powers the
less effective in supplying their own
wants, as they become the more effect
i've in producing wealth. In free con-
ditions the improvement OF industrial
education would benefit all who
worked; but in existing conditions il
benefits only those who sit upon the
workinpman's back. To increase the
efficiency of laborers, while making
that without which no man can labor
the earth-a subject of absolute private
property, is only to increase the value
Of land. and to diminish the value o.
labor.
Mr.. Dire. eel might as we'll attempt t.
fatten cattle by teaching them to leap
while adding another rail to the pas
, ture fence with every increase in tn
Ieaping efficiency Of his cattle. Singh
tax men believe in industrial education
and if they do not seem to appreciate
such charities as Mr.. Drexers, and sue
disinterested and public spirited me
, tives as he appears to exhibit, 1t is be
; cause they wonder why it never occur
to him, If he really wants the cattle I
