Iego evidently thinks TINT marriage is
fnilure. A most remarkable order
went into effect IL few weeks ago: The
students who enter college single can
not get married during their course
and remain i'll the college. People al
ready married, however, are not barred.
Many students nre angry. They shy
that the married people do better work
thnn the single ones, because they are
not all thinking of absent sweothearts.
During the past two years there has
been an epidemic of marriages among
the theologinns. Strong efforts will
be made to have the rule repealed.

Communications.


ED. FREEMAN:-ln your Issue sf the 18th
inst, | see communication by Mr.. Luke
Behe, in which, referring to mine of the
22ult. on the single tax theory. he says:
The side of the argument advanced is
very beautiful-iu theUry-but there is
another side to this question which il
might be we'll to scruIinze- The lands in
Cambria county average in value about
twenty dollars an acre. The amount of
tax required is about 10000. Now how
much would this be per acre"
Suppose this valuation il correct. taking
farm and, building sites, mineral lands
and all, what does the single taNer propose
To do? Simply 10 tax all these lands at
their true value exclusive of all improve
ments. For example: In town a lot
worth $1,000 would be assessed the same
as one thousand acres of farm land worth
ten dollars an acre, no matter whether
either OF them is occupied or used or not.
If there is anything unjust in this | would
like To have IL pointed out To me. As Mr..
Behe admits the beauty of the theory, |
presume he does not theoretically deny
the equal right of all men to the use of
the earth, and that the value of the land
mot the intriStic WORTH is caused by tine
presence OF population in community.
He says, Il fail to see how land owners
are responsible for strikes or any other of
the Ills which we hear so much of at pres
ence."
Nearly all students of our social con-
ditions claim that the land question is at
the bottom of the whole labor problem
OF course the land owners are not the
A.
false principle of treating land as if sub
iect to the same right of private property
as the products of labor, thus shutting out
the masses of men from the common in-
heritance-the right To the use of the
earth-and allowing capital to monOpoliZe
the natural resources, by which mems labor
is reduced To the condition of helpleSSneSS
at She feet of capital, begging for work
No the land owners are not personally to
blame. Indeed many of them have been
cruelty wronged by having been COMPEL, d
TO pay heavily for bit of land on which
to found a home and apply their labor, and
are continually harraSsed by unjust taxes
for the purpose OF enriching monopolies of
various kinds, such as railroads, protect
ed" manufactures, etc.
think Mr.. BeheS structures on corpo-
ratiOns are too sweeping. An Institution
cannot be properly called monopoly un-
less IL intTingeS on the rights of others
Let equal freedom be the watchword
Whatever will not stand this test, should
be restricted. modified, abolished or con
trnlled by government for the common
good. This done and our labor troubles
will soon be a curiosity of the dim and
ShadOwy past.

A sew Pension Ruling.

Assistant Secretary Reynolds has decid-
ed that a soldier of the L aited States army
who was confined prisoner of war in a
Confederate prison, and who subsequently
enlisted or served in the Confederate army
for the mere purpose of escaping the hard
ships of prison life, is not guilty of sucn
voluntary aiding or abetting the rebellion
as To bar him from pension.
Where an enlistment and service is
sought 10 be paliated or excused on the
ground of duress or that il was not volun-
tary or was for the purpose of escape to
the Union lines, the presumption, MIR.
Reynolds says. of voluntary aiding or
abetting can only be overcome by the most
positive, direct and satisfactory evidence.
The uncorroberated testimony of claim
ant will not be accepted to overcome such
u presumption.
