The enthusiasm Of some o. the mem
bers Of some of the Republican cluDs
from this city who went TO Canton Sat
urday. vented Itself n very demon
strative and disorderly way. The Six
Footers club were the chief participants
in several rows that took place while IN
Canton and on the way home.
The frs. disturbance was started
while the club was marching down the
street 10 McKin.ey's home. In Canton,
street cars run on schedule time, and
.notorman endeayored to run his car De
tween the ranks of the noble Six Footers.
They swarmed around the car like 50
many bees and, bouncing upon the mo-
torman. gave him a beating.
Not satisfied with this, they lifted one
end of the car and swung i cross-wlse
over the track and marched on.

THE INTERPoSING BAR.

Land Monopoly Is the Menace of Civiliza:
tion and the Bar to Human Happiness.
Lying athwart the pathway of our
10th century civilization is great
menace to the liberty of the people
This menace is the monopoly of land
the monopoly of natural opportunities
to gain living-on which and through
which every other monopoly depends
for its existence. It is because of the
monopoly of land that armies of men
and women are trampinR the country
unable to find employment. It is be-
cause Of the monopoly of land that in
the centers of commercial activity peo-
pie are huddled together like beasts
breeding diseases and raising to fear
full rate the death roll It is because
of the monopoly of land that industry
and enterprise are put at a disadvan-
tage with idleness and fraud. Land
monopoly is the creator of a set of base
born children whose hideousness is
acknowledged by all, but whose par
entage is not so clearly perceived.
The monopoly of land is to-day the
great cause of ignorance and poverty; it
is the adamantine wall that forms for
the civilized communities of the world
their unfavorable enviro nment
To tear away this bar to happiness
and good living in it's truest sense is
the object of the intelligent social re
former. He alone of the vast army OF
benevolent people who are interested
in ameliorating the condition of the
unfortunate and downtrodden sees the
correct way of reaching the disease.
And IN he throws aside the Masters
and palliatives prescribed. by prison
reform associations. soup house SO
cieties and poor committees. and ap
plies the knife of the surgeon to the
very root of these-the monopoly of
the opportunity of self employment
