But, there there! Isn't that enough?
The editor has more manuscripts
awaiting him, and If these were not
enough, he has number Of Frank
Vierth's why" and Junior Why" in
reserve.
And that calls to mind that the
editor is indebted to Mr. Vierth for
the following kind notice in the April
number of ''Why?"
The Independent published at
Lincoln, Neb., and which has an
extensive circulation in the west,
announces that on May Ia it will
issue Henry George edition
which will be devoted extensively
to articles on the single tax. Sim
gle takers are invited to send con-
tributions. We regret that on ac-
count of the lateness of this issue
this mention will assist but little
in making the edition success,

many able single takers are TAX
ing an active interest in the en-
terprise. Copies of the Henry
George edition will be mailed in

Mich. Toms paper gives evidence Of
being in the hands of an upto-date
newspaper man. He confesses that
he makes up his forms, ci1ases after
advertising, and makes his collections
for subscriptions largely in the even
ing"-and he wants an "auty." He
says:
Tom Bawden wants an automobile
for this summers single tax cam
paign. He wants to speak in all quar-
ters Of the city in the evenings, and
at noon hours at the factories, and
purposes scattering $4,000 copies of
his tract on Detroit Shoplifters and
the Coal Miners Arrest. Tom has
not got the money himself and hence
he is going to ask his friends of sim
gle tax to assist him. He needs only
$3.50, and if viii Allen can get $500
for Xmas feed for Detroit paupers,
