After the address the meeting was
thrown open for questions and answers
pertaining to the single tax, an exercise
which aroused intense interest and was
continued without abatement up to the

and answers. though but small percent

J. D. Drake replied "By freeing the
land it will become the common heritage
of all. Any man could acquire Il part of
this heritage by simply paying the full
annual rental value OF this natural oppor-
tunity to the community. This rental
value will not be based on the area OF the
natural opportunity, but on its value,
either as a business site. an agricultural
location or residence property. Since no
man could monopolize any portion OF the
earth's surface without paying the COM
munity fo- the privilege, every man could
have home"
"What is the difference between the
ownership of land and ownership OF other
property?n
Ralph Hoyt replied: 1.-THE difference
consists in the fact that land is a natural
gift to the whole human race for their
use, while everything else recognized as
property was produced by human labor.
Show me an acre or a square foot of land
that was created by man and we will adj
nit that the original title to it was vested
in its producer. Production is the only
thing that gives just title to anything.

which the audience dispersed, carrying

HUTCHINSON STILL KICKS
This Time II Is Against the Southern
Pacific
He Wants Trains to rlove at Slower Rate of
Speed in the City Limits and
Gives His Reasons

Colonel Edward Hutchinson, the great
Southern California kicker, has been quiet
for several days and people had com
menced to believe that all was lovely
hereabouts and every prospect pleasing.
But it seems there is one flaw in the
lutte, that Colonel Hutchinson has hereto
foro overlooked and in the appended kick
he calls attention to a needed reform:
To the Editor of The Herald
While you and various other friends of
mine know it is far from my nature to
utter anything but praise, | hope you
will allow me to depart from my usual
custom and register vigorous protest
against the conduct of the Southern Pa
citic Railroad Company in the running of
trains into this city and through the
streets thereof at the rate of thirty or
forty miles an hour
refer particularly to the trains that
approach the Arcade depot from Santa
Ana, San Pedro and Santa Monica at
about 8 a. III. and p. m. At the hours
named, about 200 of my pupils are going
to the Seventh Street school or returning
home therefrom. Many of them are very
young children, and all of them are en-
titled to the privilege of crossing the rail
road track without the risk of encounter
ing the lightning express" in the streets
of the city.
A number of competent judges have
estimated the speed OF the trains at the
rates given above, and if the octopus. or
devilfish, does not abate the nuisance,
shall test the efficacy of an injunction of
one of the courts. From the present out
look it appears that the growing chill
dren will endure enough from the I'M
holy Huntingtons. Hatzfeldts. and their
hounds, without forming funeral process
sions for their murdered schoolmates in
this year of disgrace. Yours, as always,
Edward Hutchinson.

Church Work.

When the church comes to be looked
upon by its members as very respect
able place, for respectable people, and
no one else, it is recreant to duty and
does not represent Christ, who came
to seek and save the lost. We hear, it
is said, that the Gospel has not done
all we might expect in any one coun-
try, city or village. I reply: The
Gospel has never yet been accepted,
lived and practiced by all the inhabi-
tants of any land, city or village. II
it had, Il would have made paradise.

Her Search.

Although much is said of the inperti-
nence of clerks in dry goods stores, there are
many models of long suffering politeness
among them, and it was one of this large
class to whose lips rose rejoinder which
even his diplomatic employer counted as
excusabIe, if nothing better.
Whenever a special sale of any line of
goods was announced from the store in
question, there invariably appeared on the
next morning a woman who insisted upon
being shown every article on the Shelves
but had never been known to purchase
anything.
The store was not a large one, and it had
fallen to the lot of one clerk in particular
70 wait upon this woman again and again.
At last there came a day when a sale Of
blankets was announced. Early the next
morning the woman appeared, and for
nearly half an hour the patient clerk dis
played blankets until they were heaped
high before him. At last he announced
that there were no more. q
Every we'll, said the woman indiffer-
emily, taking up her handbag. ~ was
just looking for a friend.''
Madam said the clerk in a tone of
perfect respect, eff you think there is any
chance that your friend is among these
blankets, will go through them again"
Undoubtedly the woman is still pursu-
ing her search in other directions, but that
one store has known her no more since
that day.-Youth's Companion.

At Certain Times.

On one Of his European tours Pitts
burg gentleman happened to reach the fa-
NOUS Tyrol country during a disastrous
drought. The prospects of the farmers
were most discouraging indeed and their
complaints were daily becoming louder
and deeper.
A polite priest in charge Of country
parish had taken advantage of this condi-
ton of affairs to impress upon his people
that this was probably a chastisement
for their sins. At first they were some
what skeptical and defiant, but as the ef-
fects of the drought upon their crops be-
came more apparent they grew more and
more penitent and finally duplicated the
holy father to intercede in their behalf
with the powers that controlled the dews
and the rains.
Having a reliable barometer in his
study, he told them he would do what he
could for them. At last he directed them
to pray for rain, and he would do likewise
They did SO, and their prayers were an
swered by copious showers.
''Do you really believe in praying for
rain?' said the traveller to the priest.
"Most assuredly," he replied, "but not
against a rising barometer. ''--Pittsburg
