THE LOST. ISLAND.

(By"E: j. Austin and Louise. Vesce-.
Illus Sheldon. illustrated. Published
by .Fels Fund of America, Cincinnati,
Ohio.) ....
A book is a mighty Offering to
history's affairs. Book $ have fastened
events through their advent A work
of fiction has started reform move
ments, which would have fingered but
for it. The novels of Charles Dick
ems changed and improved many
tyrannical laws Of England. When
Henry George published Progress
and Poverty over 80 years ago, and
made the assertion that the Single
Tax was the fundamental cure for
involuntary poverty, he was called a
visionary, but a few named him the
second Moses, leading his people in
to the Promised Land. From that
"theoretic" and "anarchistic'' book,
however, has come the great reform
movement of our day, about which
the Fels Fund Publicity bureau is
now supplying hundreds of thous-
.ands with literature, at a nominal
sum.
: Its latest publication is 1.-The Lost
Island This story is clearly drawn,
and simply told romance. The eco
nomic doctrines wrought out through
the incidents of the story, show the
difference between land and prop
erty-the two vital facts, according
to the viewpoint Of the single taxer.
The arguments of Hiram Slawker,
the owner of the island, sound like
the absurd babblings of a child, and
yet his claims are none other than
those of. the present day claims of
our landlords. He stands a living
monument of Slawkerism versus
Landlordlsm, on his own land, as his
former tenants sail away, forgetting
incidentally, to take their bearings.
and SO losing the island, leaving
Slawker in full possession. This was
the penalty of the absurd enforce
ment of his rights. This tritely told
tale will live and leave strong i'm
preston on the minds of its read
ers. Unfortunately we are not IN
a position to- sail away from our
landlords.
William Lloyd Garrison adds a con-
Guiding chapter in his happiest style.
Mr.. Henry Georges appeal for the
Single Tax What it Island why we
urge it," makes a complete work.
This book should be in the hands of
the progressive thinker. Bolton Hall,

TO EUROPE BY TRAIN

Several years ago a plan to tunnel
under Behring Strait and connect the
railway systems of North America
and Siberia aroused much interest.
At the time nothing came of the plan.
Now, it has been revived in earnest
with the result that it may some day
be possible to travel by train all
the way from New York to the cap
itals Of Europe. Both in Alaska and
Siberia long railway lines will have
to be built to connect with the tun-
mel entrances. The tunnel itself will
have to be 40 miles long the promo
ters propose to sink shafts from
Islands in the middle Of Behring
Strait, SO that they can begin work
at several points at the same time.
These shafts would ultimately serve
to Ventilate the tunnel.

Fire of unknown origin caused a

had been obtained by the fire depart

they stated that it will be large The
loss is probably we'll covered by in

The dozen .roomers occupying the
second and third floors made their es-

were later able to return for their

SEEING THE BIG THINGS.
By the Rev. Charles Stelzle.

The microscope has it's uses. But
you cannot see the stars through a
microscope. You cannot get a. broad
view OF nature-the rivers, the noun
talns, the green earth. You cannot
see even a single tree through a mi
croscope. ;':.' $500
There are men who always look at
life through this little instrument.
They seem to take a?Peculiar delight
IN searching for the Small things in
life-the petty, the mean: things-in
others lives. They never. have q
vision. They never take into the
sweep Of their horizon the really
great and good things. If they were
to be shown beautiful painting, they
would search for fly-specks upon the
frame. And because their outlook is
narrow, they become pessimistic and
bitter and censorious,
Unfortunately, the labor movem ent
is sometimes retarded by these un-
happy individuals: Occasionally they
are found within the ranks of the
workers. They are. the ones who are
dead weights to the really earnest
men who are bravely making a fight
for better things But they are also
found outside the labor movement.
To them, the labor movement con-
slsts of unreasonable strikes and un-
scrupulous agitators.. They do not
see the millions of children in the
mills and the factories who should be
at home and in the schools, and for
whom organized tabor is making a
strong fight, while the great mass Of
even intelligent people are strangely
indifferent to their struggles. ::
They seem to be ignorant of the ter
rible sweat shop in which thousands
OF toilers are wearing out their lives
nj the hopelessness of abject poverty,
| and for whom the labor union almost
slngle-handed is battling, in what is
bound to be a winning fight.
Who is doing more for the woman
that tolls? What institution stands
more courageously for a squarer dea]
| for our sisters and mothers? Not in
a weak, sickly, sentimental way. but
With a vigor and a red-bloodedness
| that is sometimes startling in its
perslstency and in its effectiveness.
Look through your telescope for q
! little while-and forget the flv
specks. Nobody likes them. We
can't get rid of them altogether, but
there is something else on the horizon,

THE ROAD TO
CHRISTMAS TOWN
BY A. j. WATERHOUSE.

On the road to Christmas Town
Hasten! Get aboard and ride!
lake chair and sit you down,
For the cars are amply wide.
Bring such baggage as wou will:
Smiles and happy words of cheer:
Little things that babies love;
Toys to tiny children dear.
Bring such baggage as you will
Hasten, for the train must start!-
But one thing you may not bring.
Ills troubled, anxious heart.
Not a worry, not a care;
Only love and joy to share;
Not trouble, not a frown.
On the road to Christmas town.
On the road to Christmas town.
Let's invade the baggage car,
Where are things that Christina
brings,
Checked from near or checked from
far.
oolo1ers, engines, bat and ball;
Dolls that wink their bonnie ewes
Dolls that for their mamas call
wouldn't that girl surprise?
Ilnkling bands for baby hands
MY! The car is filled and lined
with the joys Of girls and bows:
Only care is left behind.
Only care is left behind:
Not a worry shall you find,
Not tear your bliss to drown.
'' On the road to Christmas town,
Ever see the engineer?
he is round and short and gray
santa Claus they call him here.
AND he wears a smile alway:
wears a smile that cheers the he.r+
AS the buds are cheered bv dew
II you frown when he's about.
Snakes finger: "'Twill not do"
AND ne takes that blessed train.
Laughing, chuckling all the time
10 the Land of Yuletide cheer
In the golden Christmas cline.
Laughing, chuckling all the
time,
While his engine beats
rhyme
santa Claus doth bear us down
