Snobbishness, which Is declared by

OF the University of Pennsylvania, to
characterize the dealings Of the Unit

this hemisphere In The North Amer

Professor Rowe predicts that this snob

feets in our treatment of the Latin
Americans. viii result In the - national
isolation of the United States IN

OF national isolation hanging over

The human heart is the same now as It
ever was; it may he easily moved to love
or hate, but the judgment of the people
at large, at no time in the history OF the
world, has ever reached the stage on
which it now stands This is because of
the press, and of the facilities for educn-
ton. History is witness to the fact that
nations, as well as individuals are made
to suffer the penalties of sin; but il,
through education, the masses of men
are able TO see the sin that will cause
them to perish, surely they will not
choose to suffer a penalty imposed bv a
minority. AT no time before have the
people been told that economic rent, or
the unearned increment of the earth, be-
longs TO them; and if appropriated,
through taxation, will make their labor
free, will abolish war. reduce crime. do
away with child labor, will solve the race
problem, destroy involuntary poverty,
and open for them vista, through Which,
perceiying the Justice and Goodness of
God, they will worship Him intelligent.

What is economic rentP 1t is the value

worth as much as the improvement val

me wish to present another part Of the
subject, MIR, Keier seems to think il
makes no difference how many saloons
there are so long as it is possible for one
to obtain intoXicants at any place. DO
not agree with him, The more saloons
there are, the more our children will have
to pass by, and SO, the more danger they
are in. Some will find whiskey, etc,

but very many will let it alone ii il is not
right in their way, Many would lead
