The Inaugural Durbar

Now that the hIrrah Is all over and
people are rejecting calmly on the
subject, not a few are likely to come
to the conclusion that there were some
features of the grand Inauguration dur
bar at Washington last Saturday that
might well have been cut out, as un-
dignified, improper and entirely unfit
ting to the occasion. The performance
Of the cowboy contingent, for instance,
might haze gone all right in circus
parade or Wild West show, but not
in connection with an affair of the
character of this parade, and the event
which it was designed to be an Inn
posing feature.
The lassOing of policemen may be
funny, but that doesn't justify such
horseplay nor contribute to the efici-
ency of the work of these officers In
connection with big public affair Of
this kind. for the maintenance of or
der and for safeguarding both partici-
pants and spectators against the ac-
cidents and confusion that are always
to be Appreciated on all such Occa-
sions. In some cities fool business OF
that nature wouldn't be tolerated for
a minute, even to provide amusement
for the head of the nation. We ven
ture to say that were these COW puch-
ers to undertake to loop policemen
under similar circumstances in New
York, for instance, they would dis
cover very quickly that these men
were not on duty to be made mon
keys of, but were engaged in serious
and responsible business, while inter-
ference with them in the performance
of it, even by lot of rlstlers who re-
garded themselves as privileged char
acters, could not be attempted with
impunity and without risk to the Of
fender of being taught wholesome
lesson at short order, on the subject
of proper behavior-Fall River Globe.

PCPULISM IN ENGLAND
Conditions There Are Desperate and
Populism Is Only Relief

The countess of Warwick and many
more of the nobility and wealthy
classes in England have united them
selves with the political movement
known as social democracy, which is
practically the same thing as populism
in this country. The cities in Great
Britain which have adopted populist
principles and where the municipality
owns the street cars, water systems,
lighting systems, telegraphs and tele-
phones, have much less suffering than
in those cities where these things are
privately owned. The purchasing
power of money is SO great in England
that it makes vast difference to a
workman whether he pays a penny or
a half penny twice a day for car fare,
whether bath costs two pence or six
pence, whether his light costs two
shillings or four shillings month.
In the cities that have taken over the
public utilities the cost of all these
things have been reduced almost one

him. Fortunately he retained sufficient
presence of mind to pull the signal cord
and the men at the surface began to
haul him up. Ae he emerged from tho
water he was completely wreathed in
the sucking tenacles of the fish and was
in a state of collapse. AS he was
dragged up tne ladder the octopus still
chung to him and had to be chopped of
with knives and hatchets.
When spread out on the pier the fish

as evidence that all. the economic bet
terments in New Zealand are due to
the very meagre application of the
land value tax, /. e., the doctrines of
Henry George, while much larger
application is assured. In your reply
to Mr.. Young you say, There is no
doubt that the single tax would estab-
lish Justice" and then break away
with remarks rejecting upon it's suf-
flciency or practicability, such as we
are not sure that Mr. George was right
and that ut is yet to be tried" etc.
DO you think we need to try Justice"
to see If it will work?
Going back to Bro. Freeman's reply
to you in last issue, it is easy to see
that you have not given, hitherto, Sc
rious examination of the single tax
philosophy for / am assured that had
you done so, your economic acumen
would have soon overcome the shift
ing of the tax to the consumer and
that higher rent would reflect back
in higher charges, giving no relief.
How much more do you pay for eggs
at the high rent department store at
the center of the mart than you do OF
the little grocer Cd a by-street VINO
pays low rent? But | am not going
to trespass after Bro. Freeman's Tau
rels, and if you keep on propounding
your objections to single tax to either
he or Wakefield or their like, you will,
laying prejudice aside, soon see that
single tax is no fad. Both you and
Tibbles better get in out of the wet
for there will be a single tax shower
before 1908. E. C.. CLARK.

Let Labor Have What 1t Produces

Editor Independent: Congratulations
on your editorial, "Let Labor Have
What 1t Produces" You are doing a
noble work Eminent domain is a
tacit admission that in the last analy-
sis, society has prior claim upon
what the individual thinks he owns
absolutely There is no absolute own
ership-except in society itself. Prac-
tically it is hard to determine just
how much of a given product is due
to the individual and how much to so
ciety, past and present. But the cas-
lest way to solve the problem is to
allow each to own what he seems to
have produced by his own effort, sub
ject to a reasonable tax to maintain
government in state of efficiency.
Your position is sound and it COM
pletely answers both socialists and sin
gle takers, who unite on the fallacy
that the individual has an indefeasible
right to what he produces by apply
ing his energy to the land II
be that abstractly he has such a right
but he can not show just what it was
he produced solely by his own effort.
Therefore, to tax him is not robbery
per Sc.
Populsm is now coming to the front
as rational system. 1t will solve
these problems by compelling govern
ment to perform its duty of transact
ing public business, while each pri-
yate person is permitted to attend to
his own affairs with the least possible
interference by government. 1t is not
difficult to draw the line today be-
tween public and private business. In
a hundred years the line might be
drawn little differently, because of
changes wrought by new inventions.
But do not believe either extreme in
-dividualism or extreme collectivism
will ever prevail. Both socialists and
single taxers-pulling in opposite di-
rections-are doing a good work, how
ever, by calling attention to populism,
the golden mean, the attainable, the
possible and probable.

Kansas Fighters

For many years Standard Oil has
had Pennsylvania oil industry in its
grasp. California, Texas, Colorado, In
diana and other states have been suf-
fering from it's oppression, but not
until it got into fight with Kansas
did the oil trust meet with any great
difficulty. 1t is the wealthiest and
most powerful of all trusts, and it
threatened dire calamities to Kansas
for daring to oppose it, but threats
only stimulated the Sunlower state to
fight the, harder.
The dispatches seem to indicate that
the Standard is now badly frightened.
1t has never had proposition OF this
kind to deal with before. Following
the action of his state, a Kansas con-
greesman has instituted an inquiry by

The Retired List

The senate has several times shown
signs of wishing to rebuke the presl-
dent for unnecessarily loading up the
retired list of the army by retiring Of
ficers with advanced rank, bestowed for
the purpose of getting them out OF ac-
tive service. Now, however, congress
has finally given him a free hand by
agreeing to the ILL to place Senator
Hawley of Connecticut on the retired
list with the rank of brigadier-general
A more inexcusable bestowal OF a rich
government favor has not been seen
since Representative Boutelle Of Maine
was made a retired captain in the
navy when stricken with incurable dis
ease. The retired lists were obviously
not intended to be the refuge OF aged
or decrepit politicians. Mr.. Roosevelt
can. hereafter, point to the Hawley
case whenever any one criticises his
padding of the retired roll OF either
service. To make matters worse, the
house, in agreeing to retire Senator
Hawley, added an amendment similar
ly retiring General Peter ]. Osterhaus,
one of the most gallant of our German
American civil war generals. Neither
of these men has been connected with
the army since 1866, General Oster-
haus having lived in Mannheim, Ger
many, for the last thirty years. For
Senator Hawley senatorial courtesy
will have a new meaning hereafter

Papers from South Africa tell OF the
horrible experience which a diver
named Palmer had with monster
octopus. Palmer was down under thir-
ty-five feet of water. The water was
clear enough for him to distinguish OBJ
jects about him quite WELL Suddenly
an octopus which was concealed be-
hind a block of dislodged concrete,
darted out huge tentacie and in an
instant had pinioned leg. Another
tenacle shot out, fastening an arm.
The creature drew itself slowly from it's
hiding place, Ticking it's feelers round
the diver and fastening them on various
parts of his body. Having no knife
Palmer could make no fight with the
monster, which had drawn itself clear
of the block and was clinging bodily to

rHE SPRING ELECTIONS
They Show Tremendous Advance In
Popuist Principles

PopuIist Principles
There never was such city election
as has just been held in Chicago. 1t
brought out almost as many votes as
a presidential contest and the cam
paign was more vigorous than presi-
dental campaigns usually are. Popu-
liSm has made such advancement in
Chicago that both candidates claimed
to be advocates of municipal owner
ship of city utilities. The democratic
candidate, Judge Dunno, was for i'm
mediate ownership, and the republican
candidate was for granting franchises
for a few years-ten or fifteen-until
the city could be in better position

In the city of Lincoln, Neb., the re-
publican machine went all to pieces,
and here, where the republicans usual
ly have a thousand or two majority,
the democratic candidate for mayor
was elected by over 500 majority. The
labor union vote went almost solid
for Brown and that was what did the
business. Heretofore the labor union
lists of Lincoln have almost unani-
mously voted the republican ticket
and then spent the rest of the year
cursing the men they elected and fight
ing injunctions. This year they voted
together. The issue on the face of
affairs was whether the saloon keepers
should pay $1,000 for license or ST.
500. AS far as that was concerned
the $1,000 license won out. A majority
of the excise board is pledged for
the higher amount. The really sur
prising thing was that the labor union
lists broke away and refused to vote
FER straight.

Now Is the Time to Sow Peas.

Let farmers who have set aside 12
to 10 acres to the horse for cotton
just figure little. In this section it
will cost five to six cents a pound to
make the cotton. Let these cotton
men take about four or five acres of
their cotton land and SOW bushel of
clay or unknown peas to the acre.
If the land would make 700 pounds
of seed cotton to the acre it would
make ton and half of pea vine
hay. AT 8 cents pound the cotton
and seed would bring $1,000. Pea
vine hay sells from the wagon at 90
cents hundred. The ton and half
of hay would bring $27 and the cost
would not be half as much as making
the cotton crop. The land would be
ready tor the early seeding to wheat
or oats. That is the way to reduce
the cotton acreage so as to make a
more profitable crop and improve the
land at the same time. Then when
forage, corn, wheat and oats were
abundant the fowls, hogs and cattle
would soon be added and farmers
would be able "to live at home and
board at the same place." ."-Charles
Petty, in Progressive Farmer.
