DO you know why the sun Is bright today
Why the flowers decked In so fair arrayf
Why all this wide world Is glad and gayi

Did you hear the mockingbird's gladstone notef
Such world OF Joy from small throat
A message to me his carols float

Do you know why the same glad song Is miner
Why my face is rejecting Gods own sunshnei
Why my being Is filed with joy dlvnei
My dearest Is coming home.
He Is coming home. From the toll and stress
Coming TO cheer all my loneliness
And to list TO the love that my lips confess,

Why treat symptoms, by means OF
strikes? Look little deeper and
find, and remove the cause. of what
now seems to the masses of men an
ineXplicable phenomena. We have
heard enough about the fight between
capital and labor. for we see that
there is no fight between capital AM
labor. What harm has real capital
ever done to labor?
Is capital not merely so much "a.
cumulated wealth. which is used to
aid in future production? But there
is a fight between labor and the pri-
vate ownership of land. No matte"
how high the wages of labor soar, the
private ownership of land will enable
the owners Of land, TO force capital
for its own protection, to raise the
price of commodities proportionateiy.
Ii the capitalist be also a landowner.
he will be enabled to take from laboc
that which labor has produced, by
virtue of his landOwnership; that
which in another case, where the car
italist is not also the landowner, the
capitalist must pay to satisfy the de-
mands of the landowner.
1t is this, which prevents the non
landowning capitalist from reducing
his prices. and therefore the landown
! ing capitalist is enabled to collCc;
also his share as a landowner, be
sides the return he gets as a capital
list 1t is this which condemns men
| TO the wages of slavery, when they
are able to work; and to starvation
when they are unable to work.
Man is a land animal. and without
land he cannot exist; and it follow
naturally. that if the lana whereol
and whCrefrom all must live, is owne1
by a few, the few can compel thi
many to work for them, just as surely
as if the few, held the many in chatti'
slavery.
What is industrial slavery? Moth
ing more nor less than chattle slavery
with the advantage on the side of tn
slave owner; for an owner of chattl.
slaves must feed them in good time
and bad times, whereas the owner o
industrial slaves is free to turn then
out in bad times to staTve. Consider
What labor wants is a more equal di-
tribution of the products of labor, an.
the only way in which this can be Sc
cured, is to remove the agent. whic
forces the capitalist for his own pro
. lection, to take from the labOrer tn,
product of his labor. in order to salts
fly the demands of the non-producin:
landowner.
The single tax is the only method

Plan to Settle Railroad Rate Disagree

st Paul. Mimi, March 19.-Arbitra-
ton between the state and railways
may settle the differences over the

lower railroad fares in Minnesota. If
negotiations now pending come to a
head resolutions will be introduced in
both houses of the legislature today

range for a meeting with the governor,

mission and representatives of the rail-
ways to agree on a basis of compro-

The plan is to have the ten suits
brought by the various railways to en-
join the state from putting into effect
the reductions on commodity rates
dismissed and the state to agree to
two and half cent passenger rate.
Whether the railways or legislators
have taken the initiative in this matter
is not apparent, but indications point
toward an agreement.
