WANTS ARDEN PROBED.
Single Taxer Resents the Linking Of
Henry Georges Name With the
Colony


Henry Georges Name With the
Colony.
Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Thanks for the publication Of my
letter Of July %. In the public prints
I note the remarks of Anarchist
Brown on his release from the Work
house where he played the Martyr
act His utterances demanded a reply.
He Is reported as saying Arden was
organized by Frank Stephens as
community where the teachings Of
Henry George could be followed with
out restraint" The philosopher CD is
further reported as saying that he is
"An advocate Of Free Love and that
some years ago he Went TO Live
With / Miss ---. who believes in his
doctrine" Mr. editor, as a personal
friend Of the late Henry George, one
who has read all his works. who
frequently conyersed with him, who
knew his clean mind, his upright life,
his high moral purpose, I protest
against the linking of Henry George's
name with the male and female ad-
vocates of the bestiality Of Free Love
Henry George despised such degen-
crates as every line Of his writings
will prove. Perhaps 1t Is we'll that
the lid" has been lifted from Ar
den." Personally ] know nothing Of
tho place AS the expose" has be-
/ gun, ! trust the decent citizens OF
that section Of our state and the state
authorities will sec to IL that the
place Is Investigated. and If ~ proves
TO be a Free Love cesspool, that it will
be wiped out
II Is amazing that such men could
be found who would have the gall"
to smirch the name of Henry George
by terming themselves Single Tax
ers." OF course, / do not say that no
Single Tax "chin advocate Is a
crook, or sensualist, or fool II is a
lamentable fact that crooks, SEN
sualists and fools are found in all
gatherings Of men. These are fake Re-
publicans, Democrats, Hebrews
Catholics and Protestants. But I
protest against the name Single
Tax Colony" being applied to Arden" 4"
1t is not now, nor never was a Single
Tax Colony As to the Gear like
methods" Of Stephens Of which An
archist Brown complains, that is an
"old story" TO Delaware Single
Takers They we'll remember how
Stephens, though not a resident Of
Delaware, nor a voter in our state,
In 1896 tried to Boss" the Single Tax
movement.
He tried to prevent Delaware voters
who were Single Tax advocates from
holding a State Concentration en-
dorsing Bryan for President. and
Handy for Congress. but Delaware
Single Takers sat on him." They
held the Eden Hall" conference, the
Dover convention, and they endorsed
Bryan and Handy. II Stephens is
still in the Gear" business as An
archist Brown complains, it up to
those who despise Cars to keep any
Gear" down, and from Stephens
down, let the much-advertised Arden
be investigated.
In the North American of today
read that eighty Socialists are Arden
ites." In the Journal I note a let
ter from that gentle, Emma Goldman
IN which she promises an osculatory
performance TO the Martyr" He
Godsl to think that Henry Georges
name is banded about the country
linked with such people If there b'
any genuine Single Tax men In tha
camp they owe IL to other Singl
Takers, to themselves, and to Henri
Georges memory TO skip out I not
I'm the Journal that the philosopher {?
has "yanked" a number of the freak

all the reports and rumors that

Many years ago | read a work en-
titled "The Wonderings OF the Humal

A Single Taxer.
