THE RIGHT TO RESIDE.

Consider for moment the utter alb
surdity of the titles by which we per-
NIT to lie gravely passed from John
Doe to Richard Roe the right to ex-
clusively possess the earth, giving
absolute dominion as against all
others. In California our land titles
go back to the supreme government of
Mexico who took from the Spanish
king, who formerly divided lands yet
to be discovered between the Spanish
or Portuguese. In the eastern states
they go back to the treaties with In
dians, and grants from English kings
of Louisiana to the government of
France; in Florida to the government
of Spain; while in England they go
back to the Norman conquerors.
Everywhere, not to a right which
obliges, but to a force which compels.
And when a title rests but on force.
no complaint can be made when force
annuls it. Whenever the people, hav-
ing the power. choose to annul those
titles, no objection can be made in the
name Of justice. There have existed
men who had no power to hold or to
give exclusive possession of portions of
the earth's surface, but when and
where did there exist the man who had
the right Henry George.

A PROBLEM STATED.

One day man entered the station
house and asked if we had any lost
children" There were three in the
back room. propped up on as many
chairs, and he was sent in to see if one
of his were among them. The man
walked UP and down before them with
a perplexed air for some time, then,
stopping in front of one of the little
ones raised its head and asked, Are
you Johnny So-andSo?" The boy was
too sleepy to answer and the caller
started to leave. saying that he would
send the old woman around to see. "
WHAT" said, don't you know your
own child?" ITO tell the truth" he
answered, Il don't. / work on the -
line of street cars; the children amt
up when | go to work in the morning
and they're III bed when l get back al
night. | never see them" Later his
wife appeared and identified one of the
children as hers. 1t wasn't the one
the father had picked out, either.-The
People.

In finishing a call bear in mind that
q thing IF 'twere done, when It's done,
then 'twere well 'twere done quickly"
When you've decided that it's time to
go, stand not upon the order of your
going" but go-and don't prolong the
operation.
Don't fancy that it's flattering to
your hostess to dawdle at every stage
of the exit. If, as is not infrequently
the case, it is diffidence that prolongs
the agony and keeps the final wrench
at arms length, the victim cannot take
herself in hand too promptly, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Not that brusqueness and abrupt
ness in taking leave is any more COM
mendable than the lingering process.
But if the caller will direct her tact
and judgment toward this end, she can
taper off her visit in such a way that
her adieus may be easily both short
and graceful, and the hostess be made
glad only once, and that not when the
front door closes on her guest.

MODERN CANNIBALISM.

The following glimpse of the New
South" is taken from Miss Jane
Adams recent speech before the Po-
litical Equality League club:
"A few years ago | paid visit to
the great cotton mills at Columbia, N.
c.. and saw sights which really shock
ed me. | found little tots working in
the factories from morning until night
and when l inquired why it was per-
nitted | was told that they were all
children OF poor people and that they
were better off at work than they
would be running about the streets
cultivating vicious habits.
II visited one of the mills at night
and was Mortified to find little child
scarcely five years old at work in the
weaving room attending twenty-four
spindles. The child worked thirteen
hours and received little or nothing
for his labor. Because of his extreme
youth three nights a week was his
limit for work. This is but a sample
OI WHAT Hdy ne louHu tOudy III many
parts of the south"
This is not slavery. Slavery is
abolished in the south. 1t might be
mistaken for cannibalism, but it isn't
that either. 1t is the result of free
dom"-principally freedom of con-
tract" 1t prevents vicious habits"
N. C. must be an exceedingly moral"
locality.

HELPING THE MASSES
SCHEME FOR ALTERNATING THE
PRESENT DISTRESS.
A Very Transparent Disguise-How Some
OF the Cspitalistic Concerns Would
Immaculate the Unions A Chicago
Concerns Frank Suggestion.

In notifying the union men OF Chi
cago as to its intention regarding them
in the future local firm has supplied
organized labor with matter which
should cause union workingmen to Sc
rously reflect upon the relations exist
ing between capitalist and laborer, as
seen from the standpoint of the former,
and as the firm in question has init
mated that it's attitude upon the ques-
ton is essentially the same as that OF
other business firms who contemplate
tho erection of buildings in the near
future, this manifesto may be admitted
to represent the general sentiment to-
wards union labor of those who are
compelled to employ it.
1t may be observed in the first place
that this notification begins by declar-
ing in favor of unions, trick by which
capitalist ultimatums are invariably
prefaced nowadays, but it would seem
that the union which finds favor among
the employers is not exactly the same
kind of organization which the men
believe to be best suited to their needs,
According to the firm there are many
grave defects in the economy of the
unions which must be eliminated be-
fore it will be possible for that reputa-
BILE firm to enter into business rela-
lions with union men. The spell
binders who infest their organiza-
tions and who fill their pockets at the
expense of TIE men whom they profess
to represent are highly Objectionable
to the moral sense of this pious cor
poration, and their abolition is insisted
on as the first necessary preliminary
before any dealing with the unions is
possible.
The document then gives disserta-
ton upon the origin and object of I'M
ions, which it is declared were founded
for the purpose of protection against
the "rapacity of employers who were
greedily enriching themselves at the
expense of their workmen." This &C
ton, which, according to the same au-
thority, is highly commendable, is
being frustrated by the "spellbinders'
aforesaid, under whose bondage the
workmen are chatting" and it is to res
cue the afflicted ones from this Calling
yoke that the firm put forth its mani
festo And when they have freed the
victims. what then?

JIM HILL.

Jim Hill Of the Great Northern rail
road, also owner of large steamships
on the great lakes, and a line to China
and Japan, who is building two Of the
largest ships in the world for the lat
ter route, must know what he is talk
ing about when he says there is
enough profit in the business for own
ers to build their ships without govern
ment aid. These large owners already
are paid heavy subsidy for carrying
mails, but all Except HID want more.
A more palpable steal was never at
tempted hut il is fitting match to
the payment of some $25,000,000 more
than the service is worth to the rail
roads for carrying the mails.

those responsible for inficting the

There IS no doubt that such methods
are frequently resorted to in more or
less aggravated form.

prits. Tuesday negro who was

Jail at Mobile, Ala, was tortured by
a mob being whipped and burned in
an endeavor to make him confess The
frequent lynching atrocities in the
south, and whitecap outrages in the
north. are too well known to need to
be detailed.
What Is the cause of these lapses
into barbarism" The main cause is
the utter absence of true ethical
standard. More than any of the So
called civilized nations, the Americans
worship money above either private
or civic virtue. Dishonesty is pardon
ed if it be successful. This palliat,on
of theft which is evident in our laws
concerning taxation, franchises, tariffs,
and the ignorant or willful silence of
the professed teachers of morality on
the subject CT social ethics, has cor
rupted the American spirit. That
which superstition and priest-craft did
for Europe, and especially Italy and
Spain, plutocrscy and its ministerial
allies are doing for America. They
are debaucEing the morals of the No
ton.

Mrs. Deacon says is accepted in East

Mrs. Deacon says: my attention
was first called to the remarkable cur
alive value of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
through the cure Of literary lady who
was friend of mine, and who from
mental overwork was on the verge or
insanity. After the failure Of her ply
stefan to help her, her husband was
advised to have her try Dodds Kidney
Pills, which she did with gratifying re-
suits. She used five boxes before she
was completely cured, but at the end
OF two months treatment, she was her
own happy, brilliant self once more.
Feeling languid and worn out my
self, thought they would perhaps be a
help to me, and l am very glad to say
that two boxes made a new woman

AN EYE-OPENER TO FARMERS

florist occupying a small stand in
the Grand Central depot, New York,
pays a rental of four thousand dollars
a year for it. and at this rate lot
twenty by one hundred feet would be
worth five million dollars. Many acres
of land in New York are worth five
million dollars, and not long ago lot
sold on Wall street at the rate of ten
million dollars per acre and the build
ing standing upon it was torn down
by the purchaser. The land values of
the city of New York, without i'm
provements thereon, are estimated to
be three billion dollars. Strange, isn't
it, that some farmers should imagine
that if all the taxes now placed upon
the things they buy, and upon the i'm
provements they possess and upon the
stock which feeds upon their land
should be lifted and their place taken
by a single tax on land values, they
would suffer by the change? Truth u.s.
there is no class of people, not even
wage workers, who would be so ben
Gifted by the change as farmers.-Jer-

A cooking school for doctors has
been established in Berlin, and among
the numerous attendants are physi-
clans from several countries besides
Germany. Branch schools are to be
opened in other European capitals.
The medical man needs to be good
nurse. He ought to be able to apply
the principles Of wholesome cooking
likewise, if need be. in preparing deli
cacies for the sick room. A supervis-
ion by the doctor, himself competent
to cook what he orders for the patient,
would turn many kitchen into ser

A man who has just retired from
the employ of the Pennsylvania rail-
road after fifty years of continuous
service as a night Waterman declares
that he is the luckiest railroad man
on record. He has never been repri-
manded, never met with an accident
and never caused one. On the other
hand, he once stopped the Philadel-
phia express on the edge Of a wash
out, and saved 200 lives. In spite of
many temptations, an oath never
passed his lips during all his years of
service, and he has never used tobac-
co or tasted liquor. Perhaps his eff
cheney and freedom from accident
were not due entirely to luck.

also writes that beautiful behavior
