THE SINGLE TAX AND INDIVID-
JTAT, FREEDOM

UAL FREEDOM.
At dinner given by the single
takers rencently at the Euclid hotel,
Cleveland, Ohio, Mr.. John H. White
spoke as follows.
Individual freedom is the aim of
those who support the doctrines adj
vocated by Henry George. Taxation
is the practical means whereby they
hope to realize his ideals.
In both inspiration and method they
claim to be conservatiye-that is, to
be in accord with the tendencies which
have prevailed in the civilization of
which they are part.
The glory of modern civilization
the feature by which it is distin-
guished from all others-is the fuller
recognition of individual freedom that
now obtains. And this is but another
way of asserting the more extended
destruction of privilege.
Privilege is the curse of society
How to adjust ourselves to the ply
steal facts of the world, and, at the
same time, avoid privilege is the
problem.
In the three relations in which men
live-that is, the religious or spiritual,
the political or governmental, the ma
terial or Observation-Disclosures freedom
is, in the United States, nearly COM
plete.
The small interference with indiv-
idual freedom that still obtains is,
l. ha
ton is like that following an attempt
to swim torrent-failure, no matter
how small the margin, is fatal.
In the religious or spiritual field,
thanks to the struggles of our fore
fathers every man may now worship
God in accord with the dictates of
his own conscience-Or avoid worship
-as he wills. In religion we have
secured individual freedom.
In the political or governmental
field every man may vote equally with
every other man. In political affairs
we have secured equal individual
freedom. Man must eat to live. To
secure food he must directly or indi-
rectly) cultivate the earth. Two
things are here inyolved-the culti-
vator and the thing cultivated: that
is, labor and land The first of these
has been freed. No longer is man a
serf or a slave In his body.
But all the labor In the world can
not of itself produce one ounce Of
food Therefore, individual freedom
in religion. individual freedom in gov
eminent. individual freedom Of the
person. are Of but little worth TO him
from whose grasp the land Is held.
The modern rule OF equal individ-
ual right obtains In religion. in gov
eminent. and as 10 the person: but the
ancient rule OF arlstocratic privilege
sim dominates our regulations as to
land. without the use Of which indi-
yidual rights enumerated an secured
! are as Joys that vanish with possess
sion.
Henry George proposed nothing
more nor less than To continue In the
pathway that hitherto has led To the
realization Of the distinctive cnarae-

HELEN GOULD'S CHARITIES.
From Harper's Bazaar.

Her law school course illustrates an
other trait in her character. She is
careful, judicious, an excellent bust
ness woman, even in the bestowal of
her charities. The misdirected fervor
of the sentimental giver of gifts is
not hers. She is fortunate that it is
not. Emotional philanthropy would
long ago have made her a bankrupt.
She receives about 100 letters a day
asking for sums which make a week
ly total of about $150000. She is asked
to buy vessels for old sea captains, to
raise mortgages on Western farms, to
train the voices of embryo PATHS on
the prairies, to educate young men for
the ministry, to contribute to ladies'
aid-society fairs in country villages, to
endoW all sorts of Institutions. Her
self a strikingly unextrava giant wom-
an in matters of dress and all personal
expenditure, she is asked by prospec-
tive brides to provide sums ranging
as high as $4,000 for their modest trous-
seauX.
Parents write her enthusiastic let
tiers describing the charms of young
Helen Miller Gould Smiths or Joneses,
and saying how gratefully nucleus
for these young ladies' future dowries
will be received. In one banner week
the begging public-including of
course, the respectable beggars for
worthy charities as well as the mere
prayers on unsophisticated kindness
asked for a million and half dol

Not a Case For an Understudy.

"I'd like to have a day off next
Wednesday, SIR" said young Thomp-
son to the Senior Partner, says the
New York Press.
The Senior Partner frowned. He did
not approve of holidays.
I'VE don't like to establish the prece-
dent of giving time Off" he said.
But I have some important bust
ness on hand" urged young Thomp-
son, and"
And I suppose no one possibly could
attend to this important business but
you" sneered the Senior Partner.
We'll, not very well, sir; because,

Young men are too prone to over
rate their own Importance" inturrupt-
ed the Senior Partner. It's COM
mon failing among them to consider
themselves Indispensable, while nine
times out of ten they are only block
ing the way of better men. Now, IN
this little business matter of yours no
doubt if necessary, you could depute
someone else to attend to it for you
someone just as able and just as will

why Col. BilIup. subsided.

Happening to have a few moments
to himself. Col. John Billups of Ari-
zOna, decided to take a street car ride
and see the beauties of the capital,
says the Washington correspondence of
the New York World. He entered a
car, took a seat and devoted himself
to looking at the places of historical
interest he passed. Coming to an I'M
interesting stretch, he looked around
the car and discovered a very beau
tiful woman sitting with an ill-favored
man. Directly behind the woman sat
another man. looking intently out of
the window.
Col. Billups was attracted by the
beautiful woman. just as any South
ern gentleman is attracted by a great
picture or a fine horse. He looked at
her in open-mouthed admiration, pay
ing the tribute the real Southern gen.
tleman pays to beautiful woman,
wherever found.
Suddenly, to the great amazement of
Col. Billups, the lady turned and wink
ed roguishly at the man behind her.
1t was full-sized, enticing wink. The
man looked out of the window with
out noticing. Col. Billups watched.
Three times the lady turned and wink
ed at the stolid citizen behind her,
and three times the man refused to
notice the advance.
This was too much for Col. Billups.
He moved across to the seat where the
clod was sitting. They rode for a
square, and the lady turned again and
winked.
Sir" said Col. Billups, to the oaf,
'it is a beautiful winters day"
1T is" he replied, still gazing out
of the window
"Sir, said Col. Billups. ''have you
remarked that extremely beautiful
lady who sits in the seat directly in
front of us?"
She's good-looking enough" replied
the stolid one. still looking out Of the
window.
Sir" said Col. John Billups, II am
a Southern man and an admirer of all
that is beautiful in nature. / say to
you that that lady is fair game. That
man with her is not her husband.
IT know it," replied the person who
was gazing out of the window, Il am.

THE CHADWICK SENSATION.

Until the affairs of Mrs. Cassie l.
Chadwick are discussed in court it is
probable we shall hear very little more
about them. Her jailer will not adj
nit the newspaper men to see her. and
she has announced that she will not
talk any more until her case is heard
because some of the newspapers have
published things she didn't want made
public.
There is no occasion for her to talk
great deal more. Pretty much
everything is known in respect to her
loans. 1t is true. there is some mys-
terry about the loan she is said to have
secured from certain Pittsburg, Pa.
millionaires. The amount is reported
to be 100000. The terms on which
she secured this money isn't public
property yet. The men who made the
loan are so ashamed at being taken in
by a woman so easily that they are
trying to keep the matter out of the
newspapers. 1t is stated. however,
that the security for the loan is a note
for 100000, having MIR. Carnegie's
name attached to it. How Pittsburg
millionaires could have been led into
accepting such a note is one OF the
mysteries All of the prominent men of
that city must be acquainted with Mr..
Carnegie's affairs to such an extent
as to know that he wouldn't likely
have. notes for s1,OOO,OOO outstanding.
He lived in Pittsburg for many years.
or at least did business there, and his
signature ought to be familiar 70 about
all of the officers of the banks of that
city.
Just how the money was obtained
isn't known, but It is surmised that the
bonus, besides the legal rate of inter
est, which Mrs. Chadwick agreed to
pay. was large-that is. greed was the
moving cause for lending the money.
But. whatever It was. the Pittsburg
milllonaires are willing TO pocket their
loss II. by that means. they can OBJ
tain immunity from publicity.
The next chapter OF the sensation
will begin with Mrs. Chadwicks APP
pearance I'm court, but It IL hardly
probably that there will be important
developments for several weeks

CATCHING sUCKERs.Y

From Catching Suckers" by VIII
Payne in the Saturday Evening Post.
An innocent farmer boy in Kansas
learned from his uncle how to work
| a simple trick with cards. 1t looked
so much like a sure thing to his friends
that by county fair time he had SIS
in money and a cultivated appetite for
short cuts to success. At the fair the
usual fakir put the inevitable brass
watch chain and glass-set ring in the
cornucopia, along with the time-hon-
ored prize box containing from l cent
up to $40. The corner of the 500 bill
often stuck right out of the box
overlooked by the fatuous fakir.
And so presently the farmer boy had
six lots of jewelry, worth perhaps 80
cents, and six little pasteboard boxes,
each containing cent. He borrowed
a quarter to get something to eat and
| walked sadly home.
But the fakir was glad. There had
been other bright farmer boys in the
crowd and trade had been brisk. That
evening he sorted and counted nearly
800 with hot and eager heart, for
he was only twenty miles from Abb
lene, where there was faro game, and
he had worked out an infallible Sys-
tenn for beating the tiger.
The man who ran this faro game
knew perfectly we'll that there was an
infallible system, but it was different
from the fakir's-in fact, he was work.
ing the system himself. The second
day the fakir borrowed a few dollars
to lay in a fresh supply of little paste
board boxes and brass watch chains
and went back to work, bordering the
defects in his faro system.
The faro man, however, was gay.
There had been others besides the fakir
at play. His bank roll was swollen
until his pockets bulged out. He knew
the proprietor of a fiourishing bucket
shop in Kansas City, and could prove
as plain as the nose on your face that
it was the chance of a lifetime to make
killing in wheat. He shipped the roll
to his friend in Kansas City and saw 1t
no more. for wheat went down in
stead of up. He sighed, oiled up the
secret spring in his faro box and re-
turned to his humdrum trade.
Now, the simple farmer boy knew
perfectly we'll that his friends were
going to lose their money when they
bet on his trick. 1t amused him to
see how foolish they were. And the
fakir was acutely aware that the SIM
pie farmer boy was going to get moth
ing but pennies; the boy must be a
chuckle-head to suppose he was run
ming the game to lose money! Next,
it was clear to the faro man that the
fakir was going to be cleaned out: he
had thoughtfully fixed the game to
that end. And the bucket shop pro-
prietor had not the remotest doubt that
the faro mans roll would remain in
his possession; certainly he wasn't
running bucket shop for his health.
And so, knowing all about things,
being an adept at the game and hav-
ing the best of information, he bought
Amalgamated Copper at 10 to beat the
band. In due time his bucket shop was
closed, his horses were sold, and it
dawned upon him that even he, in
stead of being the king-pin, was a
mere link in the great get-rich-q quick
chain

ARTIFICIAL DIAMONDS.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
The reward of the inventor who can
produce artificial diamonds is so tempt
ing that the Moisson experiments with
the electric furnace, which were inau-
gurated some eight or ten years ago,
have been continued until the present
day. They are now being carried on
in the laboratory of the Sorbonne, in
Paris.
The first diamonds made by the cleo
trio furnace were of microscopic size
and few in number
AS the work continued various mod
ifications were worked out, as the ex-
perience of the investigators became
greater, until now success seems inrni-
nent. The crystals are positively
known to partake of all the charac-
teristics of the diamond in crystalline
structure, hardness and chemical COM
position.
The largest crystal yet obtained is
only one-half a millimetre in length,
and while this is only a spark, it in
dicates that the process is capable Of
yielding diamonds of good quality, and
that some day in the not distant fu>
ture the laboratory process of Mother
Nature, as exemplified in the Rand,
may be duplicated in mans laboratory
and in a commercial way

TELEPHONES on TRAINS.

From the Baltimore American.
Members of the Merchants and Man
ufacturers' Association, while recently
touring Western Pennsylvania and
Ohio in a special train were provided
with novel telephone facilities, which
may be the forerunner of standard
equipment of fast trains. Each Pull
man car was provided with a tele-
phone running to a central" installed
in one OF the smokers apartments. At
each station where the train stopped a
temporary telephone connection was
made. so that the members of the party
could call up any part Of the country
without stirring from the train. Much
preliminary work. of course, had TO
be done to run wires from the various
local exchanges TO the railroad station
to point convenient to the train berth,
but on arrival of the train II was only
necessary for the porter 10 run out
about twenty-five yards of wire and
insert a plug In a socket. The serv-
ice was much appreciated and well pat

BILE for the invading Yankees to con-
quer them.
"Just at the close of one of these ex-

up to the country church and cried out
that the Yanks had captured Fort DON
