The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-04-30


The president wisely. refrained from ex-
pressing an opinion to the Cuban delega-
ton on the subject of reciprocal trade
relations. His reply was diplomatic to a
degree. He informed the visitors that
the political relations must be settled
before he could talk economic relations.
This was most true. Even the Cubans
were aware that this government could
only negotiate with a sovereign power.
Their object in coming was to ascertain
what commercial concessions would lie
given in exchange for piece of Their
sovereignty. The president. however.
was not to be caught monkeying again
with a plain duty statement He knows
that congress while in the hands of the
present masters will make no concessions
to the Cubans on the score Of reciprocal
trade. IL the Cubans accept the Plat
amendment, they will get no concessions
from congress. If they are wise. they
VIII wait until congress assemblies and
then formulate demands for reciprocal
trade upon the acknowledgment of which
by congress they will accept the terms
of the Plat amendment If they are
wise they will hold on to the Teller rego-
luton and their sovereignty until they
are annexed as state or given practical
free trade in consideration for the guar
antees Of this country

He Loves Poetry.

The Washington Post says of
the Hon. Champ Clark:
The poetic temperament of Con-
gresham Clark, of Missouri, is
better developed than in any other
Representative on the floor of the
House. Mr.. Clark loves poetry as
he does his life. With him poetry
is meat and drink and clothes to
wear. Occasionally he invites the
muse and when he sings all other
poets are dumb.
Ii was something out of the or
binary when, in the course of a
speech upon the Missouri River,
Congressman Clark said that the
stream would be navigable
Forever and forever;
AS long rs the river flows,
AS long us the heart has passions,
AS long rs life has woes.
But even this was not as unique
as the introduction into the Con-
gressional Record of II poem lOO
lines long, in which Il western po-
ct has sung of the beauties of the
Missouri River. The poem looms
up in the middle of Mr.. Clark :
speech like II glittcring iceberg at
sea. Surrounded by tedious facts
and figures, it is as refreshing rs
a pcrfumc-laden zephyr. 1t is Il
pity that the poem cannot be lifted
ont of its inappropriate environ
mcut and made to shine for all
men, Suffice it to print the few
lines in which the poet let his in
spiration loose;
When youth was crowned with
mowers OF Sprlnp,
And robins could not help but sing;
When step was agile, eyes were
bright,
And there were derams of pure de-
light,
|, then II lad without pretense
And vested in all innocence,
First saw its ripping currents run
Beneath the kisses of the sun.
Who will say that Congressman
Clark has not conferred Il blessing
on mankind, or that he has not
raised the hitherto prosy and I'M
interesting Congressional Record
to the Olympian heights'

A NOVEL DUEL.
Kentucky Preacher Chose Potatoes as
Weapons.


One way Of combating an evil prac-
tice is to make it look ridiculous. Vt
was by this means that dueling was
stopped In a certain district In Ken
lucky. A travelling preacher named
Bowman strong, muscular fellow
was conducting services in Kentucky
At one OF his meetings a well-known
desperate character created disturb
ance, and. being publicly rebuked by
Bowman, sent him challenge to fight.
Bowman, as the "hk ,engcd party, had
the choice Of weapons. He selected
half bushel OF Irish potatoes, as big as
his fist for each man, and stipulated
that his opponent must stand fifteen
PAGES distant, and that only one potato
at a time should be taken from the
measure. The des' RADIO was furious
at being thus freshly insulted, and
made an indignant protest, but Bow.
man Insisted upon his rights as the
challenged man. and threatened to de-
nounce the desperate as a coward If
he failed to come to time. AS there
was no way out of the fix but to fight
the despe do consented. The encoun-
ter took place on the outskirts OF the
town, and almost everybody in the
place was on hand to see the fun. The
seconds arranged the two men In posi-
ton. by the side Of each being half
bushel measure filed with large, hard
Irish potatoes. Bowman threw the first
tuber 1t struck his opponent and flew
into pieces A yell of delight went up
from the crowd, which furried the des'
perado, and his potato few wide OF the
mark Bowman watched his chance,
and every time his opponent stopped
for potato another him him in the
short ribs, knocking the wind com
pletely out of him. and doubling him
up on the grass. The people were al
most crazy with laughter but Bowman
looked as solemn as IL he had just
been preaching funeral sermon. The
desperate was taken home and put to
bed, and stayed there for more than a
week before he recovered from the eff
fects of the Irish potato duel.

Several great national universities

THE TELEPHONE Grand opera
will be telephoned to private homes,
and will sound as harmonious as

Automatic instruments reproiuc-
ing original airs exactly will bring
the best music to the families of
the untalented. Great musicians
gathered in one inclosurc in New
York will, by manipulating cleo
tric keys, produce at the same time
music from instruments arranged
in theaters or halls in San Fran
cisco or New Orleans, for instance.
Thus will great bands and orches-
tras give long distance concerts.
In great cities there will be public
opera houses whose singers and
musicians are paid from funds en-
lowed by philanthropists and by
the government. The piano will
be capable of changing its tone
from cheerful to sad. Many de-
vices will add to the emotional eff
feet of music.
MAN WILL SEE AROUND THE

kinds will be brought within focus
Of cameras connected electrically
with screens at opposite ends of

Natural Taxation.
Written for the MESSAGE.

Any man possessing IL modlcum
of that useful article known as
common sense, and whose mental
vision is not completely obscurcd
by IL blighting self-interest, can
see, after moments reflection,
(if he ever takes time to reflect a.
bout anything but his business)
that the present system of indirect
taxation by which Uncle Sam keeps
up his household expenses is Just
simple robbery of the great body
of the people for the benefit Of Il
few privileged men. AS William
Pitt told Parliament over "a centu-
ry ago, "By this plan govern
ments are enabled to tax the last
rag off the poor mans back and
the last crust out of his children S
mouths without his knowing the
cause of his poverty And yet
the patriotic % nineteenth cen
fury statesman has hel up PRO
lection" as the pillar of fire that
will lead us into the promised land
of permanent prosperity" And
we have believed it, and every four
years have renewed our allegiance
to the true and on ly god of our
salvation, Protection. The
truth is, we have prospered in
spite of it, not because of it. The
idea that we can make ourselves
rich by taxing ourselves!
If a protective tariff is good, why
ism prohibitive tariff betterl
And, on the other hand, taking
the so-called direct taxes as levied
by the State and county; they are
wrong in principle. They place Il
fine upon industry and thrift.
They put dishonesty and perjury
at premium. They take from
individuals what rightfully belongs
to individuals, and leave to other
individuals what they have not
earned and what rightfully belongs
to the State. Thus working at
both ends and aided by the robber
tariff, they produ ce the glazing
inequalities of wealth distribution,
which is the bane of this country
and which will, if not checked,
bring about the decline Of our civ
ilization.
But since the present plan of
taxation is unjust in every detail
what shall we substitute! just
simply this; take for the commu-
nifty that which belongs to the
community, leave to individuals
that which belongs to individuals.
With the growth of every commu-
nifty there springs up value, not
created by one individual, but by
the people rs Il whole. That is
simple land value, or, rs it is known
in political economy, the "unearn-
ed increment" 1t is the site val
ne, or value of the bare land eX-
elusive of all improvements. 1t
springs from no natural sup erior-
ity of the land itself, but from the
presence of a multitude of people
upon it. An acre of bare rock on
Manhattan Island is worth more
than a million acres of the most
productive wheat land of North
Dakota. The Nanderbilts, who
own the greater part of Manhattan
Island, have never produced one
cent of the land value. If the

This land value, created by the
