Great COnlnlOner
on Democracy

William Jennings Bryan at Lima,
Peru.
Something has been said about my
being q being a Democrat. Yes, that
is the name that is applied to me in the
United States, and yet, my friends,
recognize that the word is not partisan
word. We have party in our country
that calls itself Democratic and yet /
would not claim that our party mono
polizes all the democracy that there is
in the United States. | am glad to say
that in our country democracy is so
universal that no party can appropriate
IL, and il is becoming more and more
the basis ofgovernment throughout the
world. The leaven is at work every
where. A struggle is going on between
democracy and aristocracy. This strug-
gle manifests itself in different ways in
different countries, but is everywhere
manifesting itself. All over the world
the idea of democracy is growing and
the idea of aristocracy is dying, and in
the growth of the ideals of democracy
is the hope of the world. The world is
making progress just in proportion as
the people are made the basis ofgovern-
ment and the benefciaries of civiliza-
ton.

Drift Toward
Just Taxation

The Philadelphia Record lind. Apr. s.
While no state or government has so
far advanced in the direction of tax re-
form as to put the whole weight of tax
alton upon the site value of land, there
is a constant drift in that direction.
This is illustrated in the revolutionary
scheme under consideration in Great
Britain. 1t is further brought to the
front by Mayor Gaynor's serious sug-
gestion to the tax department in New
York that the present plan of levying
taxes on personal property be abolished
and system adopted whereby the city's
should be derived from assessments on
real estate. Mayor Reyburn in his
discussion of the means of increasing
the city's revenue in his last message
very directly points to the ad advisabilIty
of placing the burden of taxation on
land values. Even the farmers, who
have, as a rule, objected to the taxation
of land values exclusive of improve
meDts, are coming to a more thorough
understanding of the matter. In the
State of Washington the State of Grange
has formally voted in favor ofso amend
ing the Constitution as to provide: (1)
An assessment once in five years, of
the Community made" value of all
lands within the State. (2) An assess
ment of all other community made"
values in private ownership. (3) The
collection of an annual rental or tax of
6 per cent on all future increases of
community made" values. The Nc
Nichol commission, of course, can do
no more than recommend such changes
in our tax laws as it shall find expedi-
ent. But it will miss a great opportu-
nifty if it does not go to the root of the
su bject- matter in hand. Taxes that
cannot be equitably collected and dis
tributed should be abolished. Land |
values and improvement values should |
be separately assessed. Publicity |
should be provided for and enforced.

An extraordinary disclosure of land
monopoly in California was made by
the Los Angeles Examiner in its issue
of March q last. Only thirty i've
owners, it appears, hold one-seventh
of all the area of that great State.
Their holdings range from TWENTY
THOUSAND acres to FOURTEEN
AND ONE-HALF MILLION acres
each. Holdings of 100, 600, 200, 900 and
400, 900 acres appear in the list between
those extremes.
This disclosure is only sample of
the land monopoly that prevails, not
only in California but throughout the
West and also in the East. viii the
contented apologist for things as they
are, kindly reflect upon this condition?
Let him ask himself what his disinter-
ested posterity will think Of him for
silently permitting their inheritance
to slip away from them before they are
born. Let him ask himself, too, what
they ought to think of him for this

In a Prayerful Mood

Henry George, jr., the noted single
taXer and a democratic Democrat, who
recently visited Washington, writing
from New York under date of April %,
concluded his letter as follows:
FINALLY l wish to report that ]

ton in a prayerful mood. They are
offering up supplicstions like that
which appeared in the Houston Post,
which runs:
80 Lord, now that everything is COM
ing our way, purge every Democratic
soul of hot air and vain-glory, and in

represent real estate in one form or an
other. Moreover, the value of real es-
tate is a value that results from the gen
eral growth and prosperity of the COM
munity and is the most natural value
TO be assessed for the benefit OF the
community which creates II. A most
encouraging sign is that most If not all
OF the very able men who are giving
thought to tax reform are coming to the
point of view where they favor the
abolition of the personal tax, and in
some States there is disposition to
discriminate between the taxes on land
and on the buildings that occupy the
the premises. Governments, and the
men who administer them, are coming
more and more TO the views regarding
taxes long ago promulgated by Henry
George, who for years was considered
little better than dreamer whose the
ories were purely visionary.

Past GIorieS Won't Work
[Chicago Journal, Ind.

When Goldwin Smith said: "A po-
litical party begins to die as soon as
It's machinery becomes more important
than the ideals on which the party was
founded" he uttered universal truth.
The fight between insurgents and re-
dictionaries in the Republican party is
case in point. The former are trying
to preserve the ideals of Republican
ism; the latter are trying to preserve its
machinery. Principles live, while par
ties succumb to corruption. The Re-
publican reactionaries are fighting
against overwhelming odds, and viii
lose. Republicanism can not break
faith with the people and continue to
make votes by reciting its past glories.

Waiting for Teddy

lWin Maupin, in The Commoner.l
We all await with bated breath
To hear what Teddy'll say
When he once more sets foot upon
The good old U. s. A.
WIN he give William Howard Taft
A nice clean bill OF health?
Or will he swing the Big Stick at
"Mal'iactors of great wealth."
VIII he line up with Ballinger,
Or line up with Pinchot?
VIII he "insurge" or take his stand
Alongside Uncle Joe2
VIII he 80. X" our Uncle Nelse
From Little Rhody state,
Or will tell him and his bunch
To mp and pull their freight
When Teddy lands in Gotham Town
Beneath the stripes and stars,
win he bring back some voodoo balm
To heal G.. o. p. scars?
Or will he swing the famous Stick
With all his might and main
Around his Afric- turbanned head
And ope the wounds again2
o, Teddy; seize the wireless Juice"
And tell us in advance.
We yearn TO know, as for the brook
The heart, so hard pressed, pants.
We can not go to sleep at night;
We cannot work by day;
We stand around and simply wait
TO hear what you may say.
The old ship sc. o. p" has sprung
A mighty ugly leak,
And we can't plug il up until
We have heard Teddy speak.
II struck a snag in old Old Bay State,
Another in New York
Throw out the life preservers, please;
Be sure they're made of cork!
The engine room is all awash,
And gone propeller shaft;
The rudder's broke, and helplass stands
Our good old Pilot Taft.
The cargo's shifted, funnel gone;
Great fish hooks how she leaks!
And none knows what to say or do
Till Teddy comes and speaks.
Abas the roaring Afrc lion;
Avaunt rhi-nos- eros!
Speak, Teddy, speak; or else, b'gosh,
Well suffer total loss.
Speak, Teddy, y,speak! The locker owned
By Uncle Davy Jones
Has opened wide its sodden lid
To catch G.. o. p. bones.

Mr.. Bryan'S Prophecy
Warrington, D. c., Bulletin. ]

Washington, d. c., Bulletin.
In reply to very pessimistic letter
by the writer to Mr.. Bryan just after
the November election, he made a
prophecy, which, in view of recent
events, seems prophetic. The writer
believed that the Republican party
would keep its platform pledges. Mr..
Bryan did not, and replied:
"Do not be deceived by the promises
of the leaders of that party. 1t is inn
potent TO revise the tariff in the inter-
est of the people. We are nearer the
turn in the lane than appears on the
surface"
Bryan was right. The special ses-
sion of the Republican party was i'm
potent. And everybody will admit
that I'VE are nearer the turn in the
lane"

is out in the open, affording no oppor-

bees as unchecked smallpox has, on the
human race.
"There are about %, 900 beekeepers In
this state, and it is safe to say that not
more than one-tenth of this number
know the disease when they see it, and
know the proper methods of preventing
its spread. When mau's colonies OF
bees have been attacked by foul brood,
he thinks that it is just "bad luck" :"
His bees die off, he doesn't know why,
and he attributes it all to chance.
'The only way to get rid OF the dis
ease is to destroy the infected combs
and move the bees to new colony. By
so doing no new bees are bred for i've
or six days, and by that time the
infection has been worked off by the
adult bees.
"The foul brood, of which there are
two kinds, American and European,
has been known In this country for
about forty years. All Of 1t originally
came from Europe, for bees are not
native of this continent. 1t has only
been recently, however, that the raw
ages Of the disease have been noticed.
Formerly man kept his own bees and
used the honey himself. Since the ex-
panding Of the industry, with tie in
terchange of honey, and the shipping
Of colonies and queen rearing for the
market, the disease has gained great

TEACHERS MEETING {
LARGELY ATTENDED
Over One Hundred Instructors
Were In Reynoldsville
Saturday.

The teachers meeting for the south
ern and eastern sections OF the county
at Reynoldsville Saturday was largely
attended, and much interest and
enthusiasm was manifested. Supt.
Jones explained in detail the new
course of study making clear the fact
that the new course II intelligently
followed, would be Of great assistance In
carrying on the school work. The
matter OF adapting the course TO the
needs OF the ungraded schools was
discussed at length; alienation by
grades as outlined by the Superinten-
dent in the county papers at the time
the call was made for the teachers
meeting was finally agreed upon, and
all teachers are expected to follow this
plan.
Professor Rife addressed the teachers
on the subject "The Preparation of the
Teacher" this was most timely
address, and was very favorably
TtC6lNcu.
Mr.. Kelly, graduate of the zaner
school of writing aud of the drawing
course at Ohio University, gave very
practical and helpful lesson In each of
these subjects: special effort has
lately been made to bring about a
greater interest in these two subjects,
and also to get better results; the teach
ers present were much interested, and
voted to hold another meeting at Reyn-
oldsville Saturday October IA al l:3O p.
m. for furthur instruction in these
subjects.
A general round table conference was
held, and the methods in the various
branches were gone into, the principals
in the discussions and the teachers
in general taking active part. The
method in the beginners class was gone
oyer in some detail, and 1t was made
plain that teacher, who did not know
the different methods and use the best
from each, was not up to the standard
for this country; the teaching Of phonics
was especially emphasized, and drill
In this work was given.
Sup't. Jones informs US that two
general meetings are held this fall, and
that every teacher is expected to attend
one OF them; the teacher who does not
do this is shirking part of the work.
School directors and patrons should
note whether their teachers are In
attendance; those who did not attend
Saturday should make 1t their business
to attend the meeting at Brookville
Saturday the oath, beginning at 9.30a
m. and lasting all day.
