To know great and inspiring men
who have surpassed US in our own
chosen work, and also others who have
lighted up paths which We shall never
enter, will tend to make US both loyal
to our own pursuits and sympathetic
to others. 1t will encourage modesty
without diminishing energy, and will
enable Us to widen our outlook and ex-
tend our interest without losing our.
selves.

AZ the reception given to DR.. John

AT the reception given to DR.. John
Watson In Syracuse some time ago two
Scotchmen in Highland costume pre-
scented themselves. AS the day was
cold many of the other guests express
ed the fear that they would suffer dis
comfort from their bare legs. Hearing
this. one of the Scotchmen laughed and
said: do you know that mans knee
is like dogs nose? 1t is bound to be
cold, anyway. That is fact, and
swathing the knee In f1anneis and trou-
sers doesn't make the body bit warm

"Time cuts down all
Both great and small"

Except a pensioned soldier.
No. For the peace and brotherhood
CT all our people it would have been
far better for the north to have said
thirty years ago: s'Now let us be bretb J..
rem. You thought you were right and
maybe you were. You fought good
fight and shall have your share of all
this pension money" If Lincoln had
lived he would have said so and stood
on that platform.
Walter Scott says: ''Woe awaits a
country when she sees the tears If
bearded men," and so it would be bet
ter to conciliate our people with kind
ness rather than to ALLEVIATE them with
abuse and unfriendly legislation. See
what asmartyr and hero our people
have made of Sam Davis, the noble
boy who held his honor dearer than
his life. And this reminds me to say
that have letter, good letter, from
FL. s. Halbert, of Crawford, Miss,
who was an army comrade of Calvin
Crozier, the Texas soldier who was
put to death by order of Colonel
Trowbridge at Newberry, S. c., for
resenting an insult given lady by a
negro soldier. Iwrote of this in former
letter and of the monument the good
people of Newberry had erected to his
memory. The negro was but slightly
wounded and in the confusion in the
car another man was arrested for the
deed. When Crozier learned this. he
gave himself up and was shot at sun
rise. Mr.. Halbert had never heard of
Crozier's fate until he read it in The
Constitution and he now begs for more
information concerning him and his sad
tate. Will some one who knows please
write to him. He says that Crozier was
noble man and gallant soldier and
belonged to Goodies battery organized
at Dallas, Tex. Sam Davis ard Calvin
Crozier were but two. We had many
more Just like them, but they were not
so tried.

expended or that the poor would be any
better OFF for it?
I think q complete answer to each of
these objections" is obvious. Let rs
see.
First.-AIan ought not to be willing
to be taxed Ii. e., be obliged to give up
a portion Of what his own personal in
dustry has wen fer him) if there is any
method, untainted by robbery of the in
dividual, from which an adequate pub
lie revenue can be obtained. There is
such a means-viz., the taxation Of
land value.
Second.-f the state has no natural
right to take the values the individual
creates. it must be equally true that the
individual has no right to take what is
created by the community. The land
lord, therefore, has no just property in
land rent.
Third.-This is a new and rather
amusing perversion- Georges PROPOSE
ton is to yindicate the equal right of all
to the use Of what God has created for
all When that is done, there need be
no needy citizen among those who are
mentally. and physically competent to
work.
Fourth.--If land values are created
by the community, they belong of right
to the community, and it is not confis-
cation to resume them out of the hands
of those who have held them wrongful
ly, it matters not for how long time
Fifth.-Neither has the dogma
that the sun rises il the east.
Sixth.-The distribution of wealth is
certainly growing more unequal. We
have more tramps and paupers than ev-
er before and more multimilllonaircs.
1t is too ridiculous for any man seri-
ously to claim that the fortunes Of the
latter are in a solitary instance earned
by the diligence and ability" OF their
pcssessors.
Seventh. admission IS valuable
as establishing the single takers con-
tention that there is Eo necessity for
any community to tax labor and the
products OF labor. Surely the latter part
