"Fifty men can do as much in one
day as $1,000 men could before the age
of machinery declared Professor Lee
Francis Lybarger at the Opera House
last night when he delivered the last
of his series of four lectures under
the auspices of the Henry George DEM
ocratic Association. His subject was,
Free Land, Free Competition, Free
Trade"
He stated that no progress was being
made in the distribution of wealth, al
though there was such vast improve
mcnt in machinery. He declared that
when David b. Hill made his famous
remark Il am Democrat but not IL
rrvolutionist," someone should have hit
him with pumpkin. Lybarger said
he was Il Democrat and a revolutionst;
that all true Democracy stood for revo-
luton of imperialism and robbery.
He declared that City Councils should
not be allowed to give away valuable
franchises which ought to be rented;
that postmastcrs and police officers
ought to be elected by the people in
stead of being appointed.
The savage in the forest he held had
not the struggle that the civilized man
of today must make to get living.

REGULATIOy NOT DESTRUCTION.

The movement for the taxation Of signs is
not q movement TO abolish poster advertise
ment, but merely the abuse Of poster adver-
tisement The spreading before the public Of
business notices is a perfectly legitimate enter
prise incident TO modern trade 1t is settled
feature of our commercial system, disturbance
of which is not to be contemplated But Ike
many other business enterprises which have
grown up without any previous provision to
protect other rights, 1t is In crying need of regu-
lation. The railroads grew up in a country
which did not foresee inevitable abuses, and II
has been necessary to make new laws to con-
form to new conditions So, too, electric light
wires were strung IN our streets before the
dangers We're properly apprehended; and though
the lighting companies thought new laws on
that subject were an interference with their
property the common welfare compelled their
removal underground. These reforms did not
mean the destruction Of railroads or electric
lights, but only their regulation in the interests
of the whole people and with such regulation
these enterprises have prospered and enjoyed
all their legitimate rights.
SO It must be with posters. We want bill
boards in proper places and Of reasonable size
The notion that advertising signs can be abol-
ished and that the State should not tax them
for fear of becoming a participant in and
protector OF what Is an inherent nuisance tOtdiiy
ignores the conditions of modern life AS well
expect TO rebuild New-York on the model of
Pompeii as to clear its walls of business
announcements. The thing to be desired is
such regulation that these inevitable announce
ments shall be made decenty without invasion
of the rights of the general public, and without
that impairment Of the aspect of town which
Injuries its character in the eyes Of cultivated
people. A tax on posters graduated according
to size would not stop public advertising, but
II would discourage the duplication of signs in
mere wantonness and would make advertisers
ask themselves IL comparatively small sign
would not be as effective as a monstrosity. 1t
would encourage advertisers to seek notice by
ingenious display Of good taste, and would leave
as large and profitable field as now both to
the painter and printer of posters and to the
business men seeking publicity At the same
time 1t would not, as some fear intrench
nuisance. The tax payment would give no sign
a status as against other regulation The tax
would be levied on such signs the law
allowed TO be posted. Other signs put up in
illegal places would gain no legitimacy from the
stamp.
A tax law, Of course, needs supplementing
with certain absolute prohibitions. Probably
all sky signs should be prohibited as they are
in the most enlightened European cities. The
height OF boards should be limited. Posters
or to deface natural scenery. Certain signs may
be absolutely forbidden, just as liquor selling at
certain hours is. and then the business be put

them at a word there was no need OF a great
strike to establish in them the union. Those
men had union hours and wages they belonged
TO the union, they We're at the unions call 10
support general policies, and were ready to sup
port il as against the companies by a strike.
What more could he secure there by forcing the
companies to sign the scale for those mills! /!
Nothing but an opportunity to coerce the still
non-union minority, who would not join the
union of their own free will. into becoming
members because the union had been made by
their employers the instrument for the regula-
ton of their labor conditions.
Mr. Shaffer has declared that the association
had no such object in view, yet by his own
showing he was able to organize these mills Tor
all practical purposes He says the employers
were opposed to union membership in them but
if In spite of that he was able to recruit there
all but those who in free mill preferred TO be
free he had no excuse for plunging the coun-
try into a labor war His claim to have repre-
sented the men in the non-union mills before
the strike is a confession that he struck not TO
secure liberty for labor but forcby to extend
the power of his organization.
