 1t is not by any means soiely 5.s tax colony There are people m u % Nlto never heard of the single tax or Wl.o don't believe in it. All of them, however take their leaseholds from the cotpoI a- tion upon the same basis as do the ue- yotees of Henry George.
 The only socialistic feature of the eh- ferprise is the steamer Fairhope, Whleh crosses Mobile bay, and that IS not eAt ,t actly a soeialistic enterprise, because II is owned not by the community but by individuals resident there.
 A Single Tax Critic.
 
 The most prominent among the single fax critics of the Fairhope enterprise IS Joseph Dana Miller, who has been for many years one of the leaders in that cult. In explaining his opposition to the enterprise, as at present conducted, Mr. Miller said yesterday: ,..u
 "The objection now seems to be ca amons 2. n, a number of the people of Fairhope that fhe government is not democratic. They object that they have no voice in de termining the value of the land or the taxes they have to pay, That, however MT. Miller added, "has been remedled pS q referendum taken on the assessments. The criticism of Fairhope from the Tn side appears to proceed entirely rom per sons who are not single taxers and wh' want to install the old system or prlVat' ownership The land values have beer created by the presence of the community l and to that extent have justified the sll l gle tax theory. Now that these land val ] ues which originally were nothine' nav i crown to a remarkable asset, there ar 1 persons in the town who uesire to req l the advantages of that situation by re 1 yerting to the old system of ownership.

Magazines.
From Judge.

TOIl
 A magazine is a small body of printing space surrounded by large body of pen pushers. Would-be contributors contin- uallv lombard it with all manner of deadly nuscripts-fortunately most missiles go wild. They also drive the ed itor wild-especislly when the country writer submits society story in which the characters play edrop the handker- chief" and the urban author sends poem. '"Tis springtime. and the farmer lad is husking a field of oats."
 The magazine doesn't print these pro auctions or anything else that doesn't t appeal to the editor, whose ideal story is A combination of murder mystery, pas sion. speed madness, a football game and an earthauake Each story must be a piece of canned excitement. The mis- sion of the magazines is to sound lit erary fire alarm.
 Editors are crafty trappers, so skillfully do they conceal the contents of maga- zine by a cover composed of art and rec ink-the subject usually chosen being marvellous maiden in dire distress.
