IN MEXICO.

At this writing it looks as though the rebellion in Mexico would soon be over, but in the prospect there is not much promise of peace. The brigands are now aroused in that land and will the new government, when patched up, have the needed power to put them down2 Diaz held firm hand over them.

And what means will they have to compel and establish order and security for life and property?
 The most ptiable showing made there has been made by the so called Federal army. rebellion has been raging for nearly nine months and not one exhibi- ton of efficient army work has been given. Either Diaz has been afraid to leave his capital uncovered, or he has been afraid to send out his army in any force, lest they lose their organization and drift into brigandage. The prospects even with peace negotiated do not look good, and we fear without the strong arm of the old president Mexico will 6tON llbblC IuOtO AidhiDLld1 GOlICBlNCIICfB than Nicaragua.

Typhoid-What 1t Is

Typhoid fever Is always due to one

ing rapidity.
When this germ is introduced into
the human body through the mouth II
may reach the intestines. multiply
there and give rise to the disease
known as typhoid fever.
Outside the human body the germ
lives but little while. There is one
exception In milk the germ may
multiply very rapidly.
Typhoid bacilli are discharged from
the bodies Of infected persons In the
excretions of the bowels, and often
those of the bladder. -=
Considerable time, usually from a
week 10 three weeks, elapses between
the entrance of the germ into the body
and the development of the definite
symptoms OF the disease The germs
may be discharged from the body for
considerable time before the symp-

For 80 years the term Single Tax
has been gradually working its way
into the popular mind-first in San
Francisco, then over the United
States, and finally throughout the
world. In Germany, France. Spain,
the Northern Scandinavian Peninsula,
England. Australia, Canada, New zea-
land and the United States some kind
of legislation is being enacted, look.
ing toward the placing of this method
OF taxation in actual operation. Even
in far-off Japan and China the works
treating on this subject have been
translated and they have organized
efforts 10 try its workings.
Enquiries into the real meaning or
the Single Tax are now multiplying
by the million.
What is the Single Tax?
To answer this question in the
shortest possible way in English would
be TO say: II is "one tax" But when
you have so said you have only short
ened the name by syllable.
To answer the question in the long
est way would be to take one through
complete course in social science
with all It's -osophies, -ologies,
-isms and lists. including the so
called dismal science" OF political
economy. The literature on this sub
iect would fill fair-sized library.
So we will try another course and
.-ust study some things about the
single tax.
In the first place the single tax is

means OF destroying poverty and re-
moving all the evils that result from
poverty.
Now should a man come up TO you
on the street and tell you that he was
going to make you rich by taxing you.
there would probably be laugh COM
ing, wouldn't there? Bnt that is about
what Henry George did and the world
laughed at him. Then somebody said
Let us try his suggestion and see
what will happen. And when they
tried just a ''teeny.weeny" bit of it in
England under the chancellorship or
David Lloyd George-now sometimes
called George the Second, after
Henry George the "First"-the lords
and titled aristocracy stopped laugh
ing and began to howl. They called
the men who proposed these measures
all kinds of names. They said they
wouldn't stand for H. They would
not let such a thing pass their noble
house. But the people OF England de-
termined to try 1t some When they
did the house OF lords tried to stop it.
Then came the battle with the results
that these so-called noblemen lost
their jobs as obstructionists in legis-
lation from the common people. They
had their legislative teeth pulled and
their claws clipped. Now they are
modest when the people want some
thing-they are. at least compelled to
be civil. And the chief thing that
created this rumpus was the threat
that Henry Georges single tax was
coming. A measure OF such power is
surely worthy of careful study. We
shall look into IL further.
