some time.

The Single Tax

From the London Chronicle.
Guam, Americas new possession in
the Pacific, is not the only place in the
world where the theories Of Henry
George are being applied. On the east
coast OF Vancouver Island, in British
Columbia, the flourishing town OF
Nanaimo, with its 5000 inhabitants,
has no tax for municipal purposes save
one on land values, levied alike on oc-
cupied and unoccupied land, according
TO the Orthodox Interpretation of the
single tax theory. The town is a
miners town, where the doctrine OF
three acres and a COW" is almost uni
versally realized as well as that ol
every man mis- own house owner Fol
this happy result the easy terms OF the
London syndicate which owns the coal
and land in the neighborhood are
largely responsible.

On the Right Road to Cuban Relief
From the New York Herald.
81 hope soon to submit TO the Senate
a reciprocity treaty with Cuba"
This means that President Roosevelt
intends to go direct to the Senate for
Cuban relief and not wait on the inita-
tive Of the House. 1t is to he hoped
that he also has decided to look solely
to the Senate by submitting n treaty
which does not require for consumma-
tion action or sanction of the House
That he has had the constitutions
prerogative to do this since Cuba be-
came an Independent government on
May 20 is. ais the Herald has hitherto
shown, not open to successful ques-
tion. II is equally clear that this is
now the proper course to take. Not
only is the concurrent action of this
House unnecessary, but 1t is well cal
culated to prove misdhievous and ever
to thwart by delay or defeat the i'm
portant end in view.

Miss Ruth Denver. the famous model Of

Sydell to pose as Princess Aernaut in a
series of living pictures These pictures
have been the smart thing of a sensational
Parisian character to occupy the attention

models used in these pictures are represen-
tative types of youth and beauty, the back
grounds are made to represent fairyland OF
that country which we see in our dreams the
land of where, you want to go. The pictures
are dazzlingly beautiful even without the
girls OF Princess Aernaut, but with these
mother of pearl Beauties whose tints and
curves set a mans hearts tumbling and

went over this written secret matter which
Evans had sent him, and accepted that part
OF 1t which cut out the legal rights Of
thousands of cOlored volunteers. Camp
bell did this uuceremoniously, and with as
little regard to the opinions of common de-
cency as Evans could wish. He merely
overruied Judge Reynolds and the uniform
practice of the Bureau and Department Of
Interior for twelve years, by saying he had
fully considered Evans decision and ac-
cepted this part of it and Evans reasons
therefor, and that it should be followed as
Evans proposes Il is followed. What
were the grounds of this great change of
law where the veteran is entitled to the
reasonable doubt in its construction? No
body knows but Evans and Campbell The
opinions of those whose rights are affected
are not in il" with Campbell and Evans
when it comes to pensions involving thou
sands of veterans and their legal rights
Evans has found that secrecy as to such de-
cisions is necessary to their success.
The number of colored veterans affected
by this fraud is large. If it had not been
Evans would have selected some other
fraud in its place, for he is not blowing
empty safes. But whether the number is
large or small the principle is the same,
and is just as important to those who are
defrauded out Of their pensions by it, as if
the class covered half the army.
There is another significant part to that
secret decision not yet developed; namely
as to what Evans had up his sleeve for the
white volunteers during that period. This
part of his decision was not decided by
! Judge (?l Campbell. Campbell told Evans
that he preferred Evans should decide the
white cases against the white veterans him
self, and let them appeal Think Of such a
monstrous proposition The Secretary OF
the Interior telling his subordinate to make
his own changes in well-established laws,
and to reject cases and let the old soldier
take his chances on appeal in the last years
Of his life. Remember that the Secretary
of the Interior is the head and the only
| person to construe the laws short of the
Attorney General. The Commissioner
should always have the law decided by the
/ Secretary before he takes action in such
cases. Evans course in the claims Of old
and dependent mothers is a doleful ex
ample of this inhuman proposition by

similar to the cases of 5000 minors held

with everything against him. even his
homely mug, he has built up one Of the
largest merchant tailoring establishments
in the National Capital. AS Horn does not

a moral and adorn a tale. Horn may be
somewhat of a crank, that he is not hand
some is conceded, but that he is an up-to-
date business man who by the advertising
route is forging ahead Of all his competi-
tors the evidence is apparent. He has now
rented the entire double premises in which
his tailoring establishment is located and
more than doubled his force of employees
and stocked the enlarged establishment
from top to bottom with the latest and most
stylish patterns in cloths Of all descriptions,
imported and domestic.
Cadet uniforms and similar military suits
are receiving his special attention and
there is no necessity to go abroad for these
suits as heretofore. Horn can make them
cheaper and better fitting than the outside
