WHO Owns the I.and?' was the sub

in the Grand Opera House last night by
Professor Lee Francis Lybarger under
the auspices of the Henry George Demo-
cratic Association. He declared that the
people owned the land and that all
titles to land rested on force.
Private property in land he said was
il modern invention and the land would
eventually go back to the people. The
patriots of '76 hated lords and were
determined to get rid of them but failed
to get rid of one class, the landlords,
against whom all other lords pale into
insignificance. They, the patriots, en-
leavored to get rid of titles but left
the worst of all, land titles.
