Rights
and Human Rights
-


/. Some persons consider the Ten
Commandments nonsense because
they are not expressed with scientific
accuracy. They will refer to the fact
that starving man would be justi-
fed in stealing food when he can get
it in no other way, as though that null
lifted the commandment Thou shalt
not steal"
The same bent of mind is shown by
the Cincinnati Times star in discuss
ing the saying that human rights are
superior to property rights. With
mock indignation, the Times-Star tells
the story of a burglar arrested for riff
ing a cash register. This, 1t declares,
was putting the dollar above the man,
it was making property rights super
ior to human rights.
It happens that Charles P. Taft own
er of the Times-Star, is heavy stock
holder in Cincinnati street railway
stocks, and there happens to be a for
midab1e movement afoot in CINCINNATI
for municipal ownership. The con-
tents of the cash register, he wishes
his readers to understand is in the
same category as his stock in a stolen
ffty-year franchise. The burglar, he
contends, belongs in the same class
as the people of Cincinnati. should
they vote to resume possession of
property to parting with which they
never consented But his illustration
is an unfortunate one for him. If ar
resting a burglar is putting property
rights above human rights, so also

Of Cincinnati.
The saying about human rights be-
ing superior to property rights is I'M
derstood to refer but to ownership of
such things as ought not to be private

/ example.
The streets of Cincinnati belong to

property would be morally null. An
innocent purchaser acquires no better
title than the seller has to give. But
j the money he spent for street railway
shares was also the proceeds of prop
erty in things not rightfully so. 1t
was derived from rental values of Gin
cinnati land. The people of the city,

Taft appropriates legally enough, but
