for a christian civilization to stand
and see its people robbed and enslaved
by system of landlordism.
The land was intended for man to
USE by the creator, but our misrepre
sentatives in congress have given by
their votes to the railroad companies
of this country nearly three hundred
million acres of ii without the consent
of the people and many other such
gifts Approximately four acres each.
The land is for mans Inheritance
and no law in Justice can be made sep
arating him from it. Man and land
are inseparable. The minerals are al
so natural gifts and as such no man
should be allowed to own, to the ex-
clusion of his brother (fellOwman) for
''the earth is mine" saith the Lord.
We have in Alaska fine minerals to
which Taft and others want US to
build a road to develop and turn over
to private companies with which to
rob the people.
Since our misrepresentation have
established landlordism, let us suppose
that the people have at last decided to
guarantee every family home and re-
munerate those who have been forced
into supporting rental slavery. Loan
them $1,000 at per cent. interest to
go on, and improve the land and as a
help to stay on the land the first year.
This interest coming every year to buy
more lands, to make more homes, to
make more people happy, will in fifty
years establish free and happy citi-
zenship of which every man will be
glad.
You may be frightened at this, but
you have been voting with party
which has established the national
banking system to support which the
people must pay to the privileged
bankers 4 per cent. on every dollar of
their capital stock that they may help
the landlord continue the robbery Of
the masses.
| am one who believes that If you
legislate value into the pockets of men,
it should be done to those who labor
and produce good things for society.
You vote it to bankers, railroads and
trusts of every description and then
ask God to bless your acts.

(Ansonia SentineI.)

Consumers of coal now know what the miners strike will cost them. Al a result of the strike they will pay 25 cents more a ton for every ton of coal consumed, from now on. The oper- ators have issued a circular announc- ing the increase, and all that the pub lie can do about it now is to cheer fully pay the increase-and prepare for still further advance when the present agreement expires and the miners desire another raise. In fact, it is not quite certain but the opera tors themselves have come to look up- on these periodic strikes as something of benefit to themselves rather than otherwise, for while it is announced that in order to grant the miners the 5.6 per cent. increase, which they ac- tually receive, out of the 10 per cent. they demanded, it is also admitted by the operators that only 15 cents a ton additional is required in order to pay the miners their increase. Why, then, the additional 10 cents ton? The operators say they cannot give figures, but they explain that the ex- tra 10 cents is due to further increase in the cost of production"
 Will the operators receive an In. crease as well as the miners? It

The total number of eggs laid dur ing the twenty ninth week of the egg laying contest at Storrs was 20OO. This is the week when the Leghorns run away with most of the honors There were three pens tied for first place in the weekly score, all being Single Comb White Leghorns. One pen was owned by Toms Poultry Farm of Toms River, N. J., another pen owned by Paul Van Deusen of Vmeland, N. J.. and the third pen by Oullencross Farm of South Columia, N. Y.

looks that way. It is at least very seWldent that the operators do not stand the expense of the miners in- crease. The public will pay that, and the assessment is already levied. It is also evident that the extra cost will not come out of the railroads, for they are prepared to compete by us- ing bituminous coal. No, there is but one source from which the in crease will come, and that is from the individual consumer. Together these individual consumers have paid nearly 41,O00,0 900 extra for their coal since the granting of the last increase to the miners, and together they will now pay another increase Of over $6,- 100000 year. and total increase of over $12O00,000 year.
 And there is no promise that this will be the limit. Instead, if about one-half of this increase goes to the operators instead of to the miners which is purely guess work-there is every prospect that another strike, at the end of the present agreement which, we believe, is for four years. i'll be quite as much welcomed by the operators as by the miners, each party receiving the benefit while the public shoulders both the burden and the responsibility. Where shall we get off? Comment to follow.

of any recalls.''
 The commission which was to pu- rify local. politics. reform the busi- ness administration, effect large sav- standard of efficiency in municipal service and put Lowell in the fore front of well-governed cities, has kept needless jobs alive, and has ad- ded a few equally needless ones," "l1as acted as if it felt its major duty was to effect a redistribution of the spoils of office among frieneds and support CTS, not always to the city's general approval, has not reduced the expense of conducting the city's business and, in word, has not made good" in any respect that can be discovered.
 The Courier-Citizen states exactly where the fault lies. No account was five commissioners, "they went into office mainly because they were per-
 sHnally we'll liked,'' which, as our contemporary truly observes. didn't make experts of them.'' Consequently, Lowell did not get expert service. Hindsight is more illuminating than foresight in many cases, and in this instance it enables our Lowell con temporary philosophy to sum up the temporary philosophically to sum up the situation in the closing sentence of the paragraph quoted.
 Lowell is indeed getting Just what it should have expected when it elect ed five ordinary men to do the work of five experts. It has retained every evil of the old form of city govern ment and acquired a few new ones. It trusted in the new form of admin istration to accomplish wonders, blindly indifferent to the fact that it is not the form of government but the men who administer 1t that will bring about improvement and pro- gress With the same type of men in office a city government will be just as good or just as bad no matter what it's form may be.
 The case of Lowell is merely one more illustration of the fact that com mission government is not in itself a cure for any municipal i'll. 1t is not an instrument which automatically elects good men and keeps undes1r- able men out of office. The respon- sibility for poor government rests up- on the voters It is within their pow. CT to correct it under any form or citv government. as readily under the old style as the new, and 1t cannot he corrected by the adoption Of a new form of city charter unless the voters are alive to their responsibility anu free and intelligent in their cnolce If officers. To borrow from the Words of a distinguished public man. used originally with a different appHcation if is the "substance' and not the aform" which should be regaroeo oy inc voters.

has even added a few equally need less. It has seemed hopelessly con- fused at the menace of the tempo rary debt-yet has not acted in any way calculated to save much money. In somie cases-indeed in many-it has acted as if it felt its major duty was to effect a redistribution of the
 spells of office among friends and supporters not always to the city's 8 general approval If only this re- distribution had effected a gain in efficiency it would not be so seriously criticized; but the trouble is that it has not made any notable advance in that direction. Still it is fair to as- sume that it has sought to do it's best, and we do assume that cheer fully. The trouble is that it's best is not commandingfy good. Municipal work is highly important and natur- ally demands a degree of special skill which not every man has. No ac. count however, was made of special skill in choosing these five men. They went into office mainly because they were personally well liked. That didn't make experts of them-and we are not getting expert service. But at least we are getting just what we must have expected when a majority of us chose them; so we really don't see that there is very much promise
