HUMOR OF THE HOUR
A Hard shake.

"Speakin' of earthquakes" said
Truthful James, Il was in one once
down in Central America. It's an aw-
full sensation, but the Teller who was
travelin' with me had a blamed sight
worse time than l did. He had been
tOlerably unfortunate and was consid
erably patched up. To begin at the
top, he was baldheaded and wore
wig. Then he had lost an eye and
had a glass one in its place. He also
had full set of false teeth, upper and
lower. and at some time in his life his
nose had been cut off and an artificial
nose put on. Then he got mixed up
with railroad wreck and couple Of
cyclones, durin' the course of which
he had lost an arm and both legs and
was wearin' three artificial limbs.
II knew that the Teller had suffered
some misfortunes, but l had no idea
that he was such work of art as he
was till after we got in that earth
quake. There came an awful shock.
! and when l sort of gathered myself up
and commenced to look after my COM
panion l saw something, but 1t was a
minute or two before l could make out
what it was, l swan! That Teller had
been just shook to pieces. The earth
quake had shook off his wig. shook out
his glass eye and all of his false teeth;
likewise his celluloid arm and both Of
his cork legs and his false nose. Never

The Douma's Land Programme.


When the cars spokesman before
g.e duuma. in answer to the demands
If the Constitutional Democrats, de-
scribed their programme for land dis
tribution as sweeping denial of the
right of private ownership not only Of
land, but of every other kind of prop
erty. he was guilty of misconstruction
and calumny. The out and out social
lists have some power in Russia and
are not without voice in the national
assembly. But as matter of fact the
land programme framed by the Con-
stitutional Democrats to meet the
needs of the peasants, which Premier
Goremykin seems to have confused
with that of the Social Democrats -
who have been promising everything
in sight to the ignorant mujiks-goeS
no further in the way of confiscation
than does the Wyndham land purchase
act now working in Ireland. 1t Is a
logical conclusion to the peasant eman-
cipation and amelioratiOn begun by
Alexander II. and merely aims to ex
tend the application Of the measures
Of relief instituted by the murdered
car.
1t is not proposed by the ruling ele-
ment in the douma to confiscate, but to
lease crown and other lands. In their
address to the throne the representa-
uves said, parliament would not be
doing its duty if it did not make law
for the satisfaction Of the needs of the
suffering peasants by the aid Of crown
domains, monastic lands and the COM
pulsory appropriation of land belong
ing to the owners of estates" The
crown and church lands were to be
leased and appropriation applied only
to lands lying untitled or now leased
for money or occupied by peasants who
pay rental for it by work on the sep
arate property of their landlords. Land
so taken from the owners must be paid
for very much as Lincoln proposed
compulsory sale to the nation for
manumission OF the slaves at the be-
ginning of the war.
The douma's land programme spe-
cially exempts from appropriation pri-
vate estates not exceeding in extent
the limit fixed in any given district for
peasant occupiers; also grazing lands
belonging to villages. municipal lands
and estates of zemstvos, educational
and benevolent institutions. This plan
would not make war upon individual
ownership, as the premier charged. but
would strengthen it by defining in law
the principle and extent of individual
ownership. The programme Of the
promises the peasants free land-that
Is, on paper, but the peasants them
selves seem to consider it wild
scheme, impossible of realization. The
truth is that the land programme Of
the douma seems to outside view high
ly conscientious and conservative in
stead of radical and sweeping The
land is there, and starving peasants
need it. 1t is one thing to tell them to
seize it and quite another thing for
the government to acquire 1t and dis
tribute it by due process of national
law. having regard for the greatest
good of the greatest number"
