FOR THE UNIVERSITY,

Prof. VIM. A. Matlock, Of Nor
man, of the University OF
Oklahoma at Norman, was in the
city yesterday and today working
in the interest Of the institution
and spending q brief vacation
among friends.
Mr.. Matlock is a very pleasant
gentleman, and during his visit
be paid the Daily Express a soclsl
call. The institution with which
be iS connected is one of the most
complets and up TO date in the
west, and an erroneous idea pre-
walls that in order to secure com
pleie and thorough university
course it ie necessary for one 10
travel to one Of the schools of the
effete east. The University of Ok
lshoma is as thoroughly and com
plsteIy ,quipped as any school ID
the United States. IL has large
and commodious laboratories, IL
bEaries, demonstration parspheT-
nalia, gymnasium. etc. etc, ana
is conducted BY skilled instructors
who have had the best advantages
possible TO equip them for their
tiie work.
"A great many people do
not know that this school Is abso-
lutely tree 70 the boys aud girls Of
the Indian Territory NJ well as
Oklahoma," said Mr. MatlOck.
1T is much cheaper, and far oet-
ter in the long run, for the stu
dent 70 coma direct 10 us TO equip
himself for the battle Of life, IN
stead OF wasting time at the small
er schools os the country, which
have neither the equipment nor
tho instructors necessary TO a uni
yerslty course. We are three
years further advanced than any
no-mal school in the territory, and
prepared to give the very best
tuition possible. We are anxious
10 secnPea large attendance from
the Indian Territory this year, and
I think we will succeed.

SHOW
Two Performances and a Parade
at Two O'clock Give the Small
Boy JOY

Haag Bros. show arrived in
town this morning and pitched it's
tents on the usual show ground in
the northeast part of the city. The
sound Of the rolling vans as they
transferred the usual circus phara-
phernalia from The cars to grounds,
brought out the youngsters along
the way, and the small boys enjoy
ed the preliminaries Of show day
with gheir customary vigor which
even the extreme heat of the dsy
oculd not daunt.
The parade at 2 clock was q
very erediiable one. and the per
for nance which followed was well
attended. The evening perform
ance will doubtless be more at
tractive to many as the tent will
be cooler andeverything conducive
to better show,
Blackie will enter the cage and
feed the lions at each performance ,
and the big lions and their fearless
keeper is one of the features OF
the show which always commands
attention.

NAMED for Henry George to point the
way to its free, fair and unrestricted
exercise
Until Henry George unfolded his
great plan to the world, most of the
reforms proposed did not go to the
heart of the question by attacking pri-
vate property in land. Again and
again, amid the civil broils Of an
cient Rome, the lands were reallotted
and subdivided, but the principle OF
absolute private ownership being rec
ognized, and the land owners being
allowed to reap the values created by,
the public, conditions always became
worse.
Rome, like all Of the great nations
that have either preceded or come at
ter her, became commonwealth OF
millionaires and beggars. In 376 B.
G. the Licinian laws were passed, re-
stricting private ownership to linz
tied acreage of land. In 133 B. c.
! however, it was found that by means
of leases some lands had been kept
for 900 years in the same family, and
SO great was grown the wealth of the
few. and SO unbearable the sufferingS
of the masses, that Tiberius Gracious
proposed again to limit private own
ership. But his reforms, and those
Of his, brother Gaitis. not being based
upon scientific principles, must have
ultimately proven abortive, even IL
they had lived to carry them out COM
pletely. They attacked monopoly by
clipping its branches, when they
should have laid the ak at the root Of
the tree.
The reforms proposed by Agis ".
of Sparta, B. G.. 230, carried into eff
feet four years later by CleomeneA
comprehended reallotment and de
vision of the lands. So salutary was
the effect, we are told by ThalheimeH
that Sparta at once recuperated her
exhausted energies and was shortly
thereafter able to defeat the Achaear
league. But private property In land
was not abolished, and, just as IN
Rome, landlordism once more returned
never to leave again. -
Coming down through the ages we
find Quesnay and Turgot, before the
French revolution, recognizing the
communal right Of mankind ia thA

labor on" then it is very clear that
no man has right to hold land out
Of use, or to tie 1t up for the purpose
of reaping the increment which is
certain to accrue by reason of indus
trial development and the growth OF
population. Under the present sys-
tenn, any man may hold the exclusive
property right to as much land as he
may be able to acquire, whether he
cares to use tt or not, and so holding
it, he may absolutely refuse to all
other men the right to live or labo
upon 1t. The constant tendency in
any nation is for the land to pass in
to the hands of fewer and fewer per-
sons, and, as population increases, for
constantly increasing population to
become landless each year. This has
been the unvarying history of every
nation, and the United States, from
nation of Independent proprietors, has
developed into a nation wherein 70 per
cent of the families are landless; rent
ers, tenants by the courtesy of an
other, living upon the soil under the
conditions prescribed by those alone
who own the soil.
believe, with Horace Greeley that
che who has no inherent right to live
somewhere, has no right to live at
ALL" Il few. men have 9 right to
own the land absolutely, then the
right of the landless to live Is condi-
tional upon their compliance with the
terms dictated by those who own the
land. Man, we must remember. is
land animal, and can live only by
close and frequent contact with the
earth.
When nations become .densely pop
ulated, the landless are at the mercy
of those who own the land. A knowl-
edge of this fact, doubtless, is what
led Shakespeare to exclaim, in Rich
ard H., Landlord Of England, art
thou now not king?" The landlord is
king today, In republic and empire
alike. Shakespeare saw the truth.
This great truth, that all men have
an equal right to live and labor upon
the earth which God has given to all,
is the fundamental human right that
has been struggling for recognition
through all the centuries. Great men
in every age have seen 1t. but 1t re-

stitution of human slavery. One is
not less venerable than the other. But
the antiquity of law cannot hedge
it about with any peculiar divinity.
The justice of law is it's only sacred
feature, and lacking this it deserves
the respect of none, nor are any
morally bound to obey it. Equality
of opportunity is the natural right
of all mankind. Men cannot surren-
der their natural rights, and when
they attempt to do so, their acts do
not bind posterity. A natural right is
vested right. The statutes of limi-
tation do not run against human lib
erty. A vested right" founded upon
wrong is a vested wrong. Natural
rights cannot be forfeited nor special
privileges justly acquired. No man
can give another the right to rob
him. Consent of the injured cannot
authorize injustice. In the discussion
of natural rights, therefore, precedent,
in the very nature Of things, can have
no binding force. E+ 81
As William FL. Seward said, there
is a higher law than the constitu-
tion;" higher, indeed, than any human
enactment. To that law the immortal
Declaration conformed, and it is to
the same law that single takers ap-
peal today. Our quarrel is not with
landlords, but with iandlordism. Nor
have we any grievance against the
rich. 1t is not wrong to possess wealth,
but it is wrong to deprive others of
the opportunity to do so, for without
the enjoyment of equal opportunities
the hope of liberty is idle and the
thought of equal rights is vain.
The principle Of the single tax rests
upon these two propositions: First,
as said by Thomas Jefferson, "the
earth was given as common stock
for man to labor on" Cords Writ
ings of Thomas Jefferson, vol. VII,
p. 36); and, second, that, as said by
section 4 of the bill of rights Of the
Missouri constitution, "all persons
have a natural right to :. the en-
joyment of the gains of their own in
dustry." These are the premises upon
which all our arguments rest.
Jefferson's proposition is in utter
conflict with the existing idea Of prop
erty in land, for if 'the earth was
given as a common stock for man to
