roads asserted that they we're

roads asserted that they were
no longer a part of the commun-
ity, but to the contrary were in
dependent and able to contract
for themselves. But they rec
ognized the fact that the Feudal
Lords who in turn paid the king,
must be paid by the people who
lived in the town. So they made
the proposition to the lords
which was accepted by them.
They took it upon themselves to
collect all the money owed to
the Lords byits citizens and turn
| it over to the bailiffs who would
then forego all claims against
the individual. Then the people
of the towns organized to find
ways and means to collect these
annual dues. This we believe to
be the origin of our city charters
which are now recognized in
this country. And from this
time on the men of the towns
were recognized as free, and
those attached to the farms or
lond were stilRnon- -freemen and
called Serfs. But the town
needed citizens as the develope-
mant of tradea demanded more
help. And ameng the rules rec
ognized by custom was that free
dom was conferred upon Serfs
after year and a day in a town.
Formerly if the Serfs left the
land they were outlaws but now
Serfs desiring freedom would
find friends in a town who would
conceal them for a year and a
day and then they would be re-
ceived into the town as Free
men.
For nearly two hundred years
more the people labored under
the same conditions. Land was
not yet being purchased with
money but in the 18th, century,
there came a change. Up to
this time the people of England
had lived among themselves, but
now they were influenced by the
domestic life of the people in
foreign lands. She exported
her wool which was found to be
profitable. This caused the
landlords to acquire more land if
possible, and they finally assert
ed their rights to large parcels
of land which they then fenced.
This caused a society by the
name of Jewelers., (Which resem-
bles the famous night riders of
Kentucky who cut down the
fences at night as an assertion
of their rights of communal
property as against the rights of
the landlords private property.
The working OF iaboringi people
renounced the Feudal Lords and
contended that they were no
longes under their direction and
command. To this the Feudal
Lords replied, "That if'this were
true they owned the land" 1t
was while this controversy was
pending that private ownership
Of land was born in England.

THE SOURCE OF IITLE TO
LAND AND THE ORIGIN
OF TOWNS.


Much has been said from time
to time about the aquirement OF
titleto the land we own, and
considerable has been said about
the origin of towns. And fol
the purpose of this article We
have consulted English History,
This for the reason that most oi
our laws and customs are deriv.
ed from the English, and then
history furnishes us the neces.
sarv data.
Between the years of 1000 and
1850 the people of England were
living under what was called the
Manorial System. BY that we
understand. a system which was
made by a lot of small commun-
tiles with practically no know
ledge of each others conditions.
Each community was complete
in itself, and had an almost com
plete and Independent industrial
life. Their occupation was far
ming and at that period there
was practically no manufacturing
and the little there was. was
done during the idle months of
winter by these people, and was
what we would today call a by
product. 1t is true that there
was considerable of it done, but
this was at the sea side at which
the ships ran. and was the ex-
ception.
The King of the country owned
all the land, and as such he oc-
cupied dual position, that of
king and landlord. But while
he did the governing Of the
people he needed armies to pro-
tect himself against the common
enemy and in order to acquire
that army which wonld be at his
command. he made arrange
ments with some of the people
to furnish them land to use IT
the persons whom he so favored
would guarantees him a certain
number of men to do military
duty and part of the crop raised
IN the premises. The names
given to these people was Feudal
Lords. There was also another
class Of people who acquired the
use of land from the king for do.
ing nothing but military duty,
who were called the Free-Ten.
nants. Another class were cal
led Williams who were a class Of
non-freemen. They held lane
but never went to war. These
nenple labored for the fueda
lords and receil ed no money
Tiley worked the land for tht
landlord part of the time anC
during the other part of the yeal
labored for themselves. Ther
there was another class of people
eaLRd the Copyers. They uset
from two to three acres of lane
and Nere the slaves of the Feud
al Lof<s. They also performed
other Iabors for them.
This body of people were div
ided into two divisions socially
The Feuaal lords and their fam
lies were recognized as the gov
erning people who operated un'
der the Instructions of the king.
The other class were called the
non-free or Iaboring people. Oh
the latter class the non-freemen
had the most rights and often
asserted them. They were en-.
titled to a blacksmith who diG

freemen, as only one plow and 81

who has been absent from the city
for two weeks on a vacation, re-
turned to his post this morning.
The complaints from the water
shortage grew so nerve racking for
time that Commissioner Wey-
mouth concluded that 1t would be a
seasonable time for a vacation.
Leaving the whole mess in the
hands of his assistant. Mr.. Lindsay,
Commissioner Weymouth took to
the shady paths and permitted his
young and energetic assistant to
wrestle with the kickers. Lindsay
now has everything going in good
shape and the water office is more
congenial for Mr.. Weymouth since
his return.
The flows of kicks over the water
shortage were so great that all the
soft words of Garrett Hunt, Wey-
mouths secretary, could not stem
the tide.
