PUBLIC Ri0HTS ARE FIRST.

In current discussions between those
who defend the right of private prop
erty and those who insist on holding
all things In common, Is there any
reasonable middle ground? Yes, and
both parties are gradually discovering
that ground. The title to private prop
erty Is always qualified by public
rights. A man can call nothing absO-
lutely his own. He holds everything,
including his life, as a trust. lie can.
not live among men without being re-
lated to them. He cannot hold prop.
crty In the community without regard
to the necessities and the requirements
Of the community. Tho power to levy
taxes rests on the claim of society upon
the private property of It's members,
In extreme emergencies-as for public
defense-this power Of taxation Is lin
tied only by the citizens ability to pay.
Under what the lawyers call "the right
OF eminent domain" the state may take
whatever 1t need-just compensation
being made-sO that the burden may be
equally borne by all the member of the

peril, the citizen offers his own life to
save the life of the nation. AS between
individualism and cOllectivism, the
common ground appears In this princi-
pie of trusteeship, which requires that
private property be gained, held and
used with due regard to the common
welfare. When society defends every
mans right to his honest personal get
tings ana holdings, and every man con-
siders that he Is under Il moral Obliga-
ton to give a reasonable proportion Of
his income for the benefit of the COM
munity In which he lives, society will
have ample resources to draw upon for
its general and benevolent uses, with
out impairing the ordinary motives of
industry and economy, without reduc-
ing the people to dependence, and with
out encrOaching upon individual lib.
erty.

BAD FOR THE CAS- TRUST

The Supreme Court Of Illinois Is not

1t is against It, and that Is one thing
to be thankful for.
The Gns Trust Legislature, which

Under this law the Gas Trust was
sure of majority Of members ut all
times ut little cOst-nOt over Onc'thirO

But the Supreme Court has declared
the Gas Trust rcapportionment to be
unconstitutional, and the thieving

will now have to face their outraged
constituents.
Not one of them will DC sent back.

the SAviN0 OF STAMPS.

Stamp. savings societies have nothing
to do with the pursuit Of stamp.collcct.
Ing or "philately." The stamps which
are saved through the agency Of the
societies IRE not postage stamps. but
bits Of cOlored paper In form like
stamps, each representing certain dcs.
ignated value, and each practically a
receipt for the deposit Of a certain cor.
responding number Of cents. The pur.
pose OF the societies Ii to encourage
the saving Of small sums Of money.
The method Is simple. A schoolboy who
has few cents, instead Of spending
them for candy, goes to station Of one
Of the societies, and gets In exchange
a corresponding value Of the society's
stamps. with a card to fasten them on
ana an envelope to hold the card. When
he has few more cents he adds more
stamps to his card. At any time liz
pleascs, the society will give him back
all or any number Of the cents which
he has given for the stamps, ut the
same time taking back the stamps. Bu,
II the boy IL wise he will keep adding
a few cents ut time until he has mon
ey enough to begin to draw interest al
a savings bank. when he will draw l,
out and put 1t In the hank. or course
It takes some money to provide thu
necessary stamps, cards and envelopes
and some time and patience to dea
with the small savers Of money, bu,
this Is n matter OF bcnevOlence. and
does not cost the investors anything

PEAL ESTATE BOARD IN P0LiTiCS.

The Real Estate Board will ask the
managers of the local Republican ana
Democratic parties to have ut least
three representative members OF the
board nominated Oh tho county ticket
by each party. The idea Is to get two
real estate men on the new county
board of assessors and one on the
board OF review.
President Knott brought up the sub.
jeot mt the monthly meeting of the real
estate board. He said public sentiment
favored giving the Real Estate Board
representation OH both Of the new as
sessment boards, and, unless this could
DE achieved, he feared much Of the
time and money spent In getting the
new revenue law passed would be lost.
George BirkhOff, Jr., also spoke In IA
vor of the proposition. saying that,
while the Real Estate Board should
keep out of politics, 1t could ask for this
representation with proprie,y. since the
revenue question ought not to be con-
sidered Il political question. He sug-
| gestel Il conference between the
boards revenue committee ana the pol,
iticians on this subject. As only three
of the sixteen members of the revenue
committee are Democrats, a special
committee was appointed rs follows:
Democrats-Dunlap Smith, W. ID
Kerfoot, Jos. Donncrsbcrger, Fred T.
Eldred, Paul .. Stensland.
Republlcans--Wm. \. Bond, Geo. L.
Warner. Il. \. Cummings, Il. II. Fish
burn, Henry \. Knott,
\ meeting of this committee Is to be
called within n day or two, ana work
in the line suggested Is to he pushed
cnergetically.
This move Is likely to find consider
able favor with the Republicans. They
have been earnestly canvassing for the
right sort of candidates for the board
of assessors. Their theory Is that inef
ficicnt or dishonest enforcement OF The
new revenue law will make II mos,
obnoxious measure, even more Obn0N
ious than the present law, ana that Re
publicans will suffer for II In 1900
Therefore they are intent upon getting
men of the highest class for member
ship on these boards.

LARGEST
WEEKLY CIRCULATION
IN CHICAGO.
REFLECT JUDGE KOHLSAAT AND
JUDGE STEM.

The infamous declaration Of the Chi
cagO Gas Trust that II will defeat the
reelection Of Judge Kohlsaat. OF the
Probate Court. Is in keeping with the
daring effrontery Of this band Of ban
Lits.
The villains who buy up legislators
with the money advanced by foreign
nOblemen, who have exhausted their
home stock Of slaves. will stop at moth.
ing short of murder.
They have instructed the Democratic
leaders on their pay roll TO turn down
Judge Stein.
They are against Judge Koh!saat be-
cause ne II IN upright man and because
the newspapers owned by his brother
are opposed TO legislative bribery.
The Gas Trust Is against Judge Stein
because he is an upright Judge and a
friend Of the people.
The Gas Trust Is after the bench.
From present appearances It will get
II.
Its serfs in the Republican party will
turn down Kohlsaat.
Its serfs In the Democratic party will
turn down Stein.
II the people do not re.elect those
men the Gas Trust. flushed by its vic
tory, will proceed 10 retire every honest
judge from the bench, and I'LL their
places from the ranks of Gas Trust at
tOrneys.
With the bench In the hands of the
Gas Trust and the Legislature bought
with Gas Trust money, there Is but one
alternative for the people, and you can
Iet your life they will turn to 1t then
hut such an alternative.
The hanging of n few brlbe-takinp
members of the Legislature just now
might avert much bloodshed in the
future.

LONDON. Nov. 26.-France and Italy,
