HENRY GEORGE

Twenty-seven years ago Il little
man with a head full of brains and
"A persuasive tongue went from
San Francisco to England and
agitated the British landlords. So
great was the disturbance of land
lordism caused by his speeches
that the Duke of Argyle went forth
in magazine article to demolish
the agitator and his theories, the
title of his article being THE
Prophet of San Francisco" De
clining to be demolished by the
noble Duke, the little man replied,
and after The Reduction to In
EQUITY" was published the Duke
of Argyle held his peace. Twenty.
seven years have passed, and the
yeas, taken to England has fer.

social structure of Great Britain,

The wild theories Of TINT little
man are finally written into the

THE PARTY LASH

Senator Cummins of Iowa, re-
Gently elected, is one man that
cannot be brow-beaten or forced
to surrender his convictions by
use of party whip. Senator Cum
Minis favors reforming the tariff
downward aud not up.
The American Economist, pub
lished in the interest Of the AL.
drich crowd, lashes Senator Cum
Minis us follows:
"To have voted against his party
and with the Democrats and Free
Traders appears to the Iowa Sem
ator to be something to boast Of.
Time was when voting with the
opposition on cardinal principle
and n vital party question was not
regarded as an altogether praise
worthy performance. But times
have changed. A Senator from IA
Republican State and elected by
Republican votes can vote with
the enemies and against the
friends Of Protection and be proud
Of it! How long. ut this rite. will
Protection remain the cardinal
principle Of the Republican party
how long before Protection will be
looking to the Democratic party
for support That seems to be
the trend Of things"

WOULDN'T GO BACK
To Old Day. of Cofee Troubles.

Studious. sedentary habits are apt to
cause Indigestion, dyspepsia, nervous
headaches, etc. but often it's the daily
use of coffee that is at the bottom of
the whole trouble. and il is surprising
how quickly these troubles disappear
when coffee IS dropped and well-made
Postum is the daily beverage.
A No. Oak. minister writes of the
relief obtained when he changed from
coffee 10 Postum. He says:
Il began using Postum about a year
ago while stopping at the home of
friends during the absence of my wife
1T seemed almost providential for
during that time l got rid of coffee
and its attendant ills. I used to have
bilious attacks about every two weeks
that completely used me up for a day
or two at time.
Il did not suspect coffee and was
unable to account for these attacks
Since I began Postum I have had but
one slight attack and the change to
restored health is most acceptable.
MY wife declared on her return that
nothing would induce her to give up
coffee, but after few careful prepara-
tions of Postum, according to direc-
tions on pkg, she thought it was su-
perior TO coffee in flavor. and now we
would not change back 10 coffee
I'VE feel we owe a debt of gratitude
to Postum which has done so much for
all of us-children and older ones

Defense RIOTERS
IN MURDER TRIAL
Partisans of Accused in Cooper
Sharpe Case Indulge in
Strange Tactics
Judge Hart at Close of Day AS
sures Crowd of Change
of Program

NASHVILLE, Tenn. March IL
Come back again tomorrow, ladies
and gentlemen, and Wen have an en-
tire change Of program for YOU
This was the cheerful announcement
made today by Judge Hart in the
Cooper Sharpe trial after the i'm
mense crowd had been treated to nine
more hours of stirring southern elo-
quence in which lawyers for the de-
fense sought TO justify the killing of
E. W. Carmaek.
When the trial was resumed today
General Washington of the defense
continued his argument.
General Washington referred to Miss
Lee. He said she was in the office en-
tertaining company.
Il am not surprised" said he, that
she did not hear the telephone ring
She and Mrs. Blake We're talking about
a new hat"
MIMICS FEMININE VOICE
General Washington in a falsetto
voice indulged in mimicry of the two
young women. The crowd that lined
up behind the defendants, previously
referred to by Attorney General Nc
lCarn as the defendants "rooters,"
laughed repeatedly at the antics of
the attorney. Judge Hart raped for
order, but the deputies made no effort
to suppress the demonstration.
These "rooters" climb up on the
step of the bench, face the jury and
evidently endeavor to convey their ap-
proval over the judges shoulders to
the II men who are trying the case
Judge Hart has repeatedly cleared
them off. When the laughter began
again today he cleared the steps again
and ordered the deputies to keep them
cleared.
General Washington once more
/ reached the actual shooting and called
a messenger boy to help him re-enact
the tragedy. This was the third time
the speaker had described the tragedy.
TRAGEDY Is RE-ENACTED
You are Carmack." he exclaimed.
Washington seized the automatic re-
volver. crouched down with cleaning
eyes and bristling mustache. The boy,
frightened, began to back away as
Washington stealthily advanced. The
crowd laughed and the judge did. too.
/ "A son who sees his fathers enemy,
revolver in hand, and does not kill that
enemy as he would a mad dog is not
| fit to be food for worms" the attorney
/ declared.
Again and again the attorney re-
enacted the tragedy.
| The defense will need considerable
more argument before closing its case.
Former Judge James NJ Anderson
! talked at a rapid gait today until he
got weak and then said
Il am very exhausted. your honor, :"
turning to Judge Hart. and ask your
! indulgence until tomorrow"
The court was willing to let him
quit and the spectators fied out. look
ing forward to the promised enter
tainment OF the next day.
Strangely enough Lawyer Anderson
was a close personal friend and po-
| litical supporter of Senator Carmack.
Only once in his speech did he refer
to Colonel Cooper as the old soldier"
and not once did he appeal to the sym
| pathies of the Jurors.

FIRST ARREST
FOR BONFIRE
Albert Siskind Is Caught in
Act by PatroIman on
Jefferson Street.
CASE is ADJOURNED

Albert Siskind, nineteen years old,
of 81 Division street, who is rela-
tive of Philip Siskind. proprietor OF
a dry goods store at State and JEFF
ferson streets. was arrested by Pa
trolman Andrew Jensen shortly af-
ter 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon for
building a bonfire in the street.
The lad had several boxes blazing
on the Jefferson street brick pave
ment near the store when the police
man came upon the scene. Having
orders from Chief Burke to arrest
anyone building fires in the street,
Jensen placed Siskind under arrest
and took him to the police station,
where he was released after giving
500 bonds for hearing this m orn-
ing.
Siskind was present this morning,
but as the recorder said he wished
to confer with City Attorney HON.
mann, the case was adjourned until
tomorrow morning
At meeting of the Board of AL
dermen, Monday night, an .ordi-
nance providing for the arrest and
a fine of $40 for anyone building a
bonfire on any of the paved streets
was introduced. Whether the fine
can be imposed is question as the
ordinance is not yet a law, but the
policeman, 1t is claimed, had right
to arrest Siskind for building the
fire, on the ground that it was a
nuisance.
