| John L Sullivan is out for mayor of
Boston He has won many a hard
fought battle, and there is no telling
What the residents of the new Athens
will do at the coming election. John
L. is no speech maker. but when it
comes to VIZ. ting he puts some golden
nuggets on paper. He pays no atten-
| ton to the rules Of grammar; differs in
spelling from Noah Webster, but he
attains his destin ton just the same
with solid and catchy sentences, and
his letter to the Call, defining his
position and saying what be would do
| if elected mayor, is good enough plat
| form for one to and upon.
Among other things, John L. de-
clares:
eff was mayor I'd try to do some
thing for the poor women that have to
work for living. If any one came to
me, for instance, and wanted permits
sion to build street railroad in the
city l was mayor of I'd say to him ::
will you give free rides to the poor
washerwomen and cashgirls and sweat
shop workers, and all others that are
honest and live by the sweat of their
browse If he'd consent to this, he
could build his old road, ard I'd like to
S ee him make a barrel of money out of
it. too, but if he did not I'd turn him
down so quick that he would never try
W Oullu TOtu-uOU w ulIc l. was
mayor.
eff L was mayor, does anybody think
that there could be any bribery going
on if I knew about it? The man don't

ticials who tried to do any funny
business when 1 was in Office would be
city hospital patients in mighty short
order in spite of any defense of their
du7e lawyers, and don't you forget
it.
do you think I'd allow any such |
business, if 1 was mayor, as
that which happened here in Boston
few days ago, when the management of
one of the nice, big rich bugs notified
the authorities of a charitab BILE iusti-
ute for poor children that there
wasn't any room in the school for their

for a car load of potatoes from Greeley

the Dealers profits. Sacramento pota-

BY expmpting improvements on land
and other products Of labor from taxa
tion,we would be tightening the burden
of our own citizens, and asking only OF
the people who live outside Of the state
to pay their just share Of public reven-
ue, according to the value OF the land
they owned. Is there any injustice in
that? It would not force man to pay
any more tax for using land, than If he
held it in idleness. In raising public
revenue in this simple but just manner,
we would save our own people who pro-
duce wealth in the state some $20,0O0,-
900 annually.
As state, we cannot vote silver up
or down. AS state, we cannot raise,
lower or abolish the tariff. And we
cannot make a people rich by giving
them cheap money any more than we
can make them prosperous by increas'
ing the tariff taxes, One proposition
is as fallacious as the other, AS Il
state, we can do but little in reducing
railroad freight, And even II we could
lower freight on corn from % cents to
5 cents per bushel from Kansas to Gal
weston, Texas, the benefit would ulti-
mately accrue to the owners of land.
That is, land values would rise higher
than they are now, resulting in in
crease of rent and men would be COM
PEELED to give more for the use OF land,
the producer getting, as now, bare
living. This law Of rent is as incon-
trovertible as the law Of gravltation.
But as state we are sovereign in the
manner of raising our own revenue.
A home rule local option bill on tax
alton will be presented for the consid-
Grafton of the legislature. We hope it
will not be ignored. We are not asking
for spoil of office, but we ask for some
thing that will benefit the men who
walk behind the pillow handles and new
er expect Office we are asking TOR
something that will benefit every man
in the state who has labor to sell, and
we hope our request will not be pigeon
holed We simply demand equal free
dom, equal justice, equal rights for ey-
cry man, woman and child in the state.
Do we plead in vain?
Keep in view this self-evident truth:
That all taxes are paid from wealth;
that all wealth is produced by labor
applied to land hence, in its last anuly-
sis, it is the users of land whe ultimate
ly pay all the taxes. Let the specula-
tor pay his just share or get out Of the
way for some one who will pay and use
the land. There are over BO, 600 ten
Gnts-landless men-in our state, and
,Sl,OOO,OOO acres of uncultivated land.
If you intend to do anything to bene-
Sit the people, make it easier for men to
get land. The only thing God ever
gave man was land and the power to
labor. OIan-made laws have stolen
Gods heritage from His children. Leg
islate to restore it,
All other proposed legislation is tri-
fling compared TO it.

OBEYING INSTRUCTIONS.

Bellaire Miners Quilt Work. Including the
Wegee Men Who Have Promised to Come
Out
In accordance with the decision at
the miners mass meeting at Bellaire
Monday afternoon, the Bellaire ped
ding banks are all idle, including the
mill bank at the works, some of the
miners of which declared their inten-
ton at the meeting of continuing work.
The committee appointed at the Mon
day mass meeting to see the Wegee
miners did not wait until yesterday
morning, but saw them Monday night
and held a conference with them. The
Weges men promised TO come out just
as soon as they got through an entry
where they were working, which will
keep a few Of them at work for day
or so. The Bellaire miners are all prac-
tically idle now and the local factories
and dealers are ordering all coal they
can get from West Virginia. The gas
and electric light plants have a good
supply on hand and have been assured
that they can get all they want.
From a report received last evening
the Bellaire miners committee is still
at the Wegee mines holding a confer
ence with the men and trying to induce
them TO quit work.
