Sees the Handwriting
[Cincinnatl Commercial TrbuneI

tCncinnati Commercial Tribunel
We can not sympathize with the glee
of those Republican office holders who
profess to be elated at the prospect that
former Governor James NJ Cox win seek
vindication as a candidate for Governor
on the Democratic ticket next year, AS
one of the potent factors in the defeat of
the former Governor, the Commercial
Tribune has profound admiration for his
political resourcefulness and sagacity, II
he secures the nomination and enters the
fight witha united Democracy back of
him, the Republicans Of the State are
going to have n real battle on their hands
ana they might as well realize the fact
now and make preparations for the strug-
gle.
Any one who takes the trougle to ana
lyze the figures involved in the Ohio Gov
ernorship votes since 1908 can not but be
impressed with the uncertainty of politi-
cal contests in the Buckeye State. 1t
will be recalled that Harmon was elected
by something like 10000 votes over An
drew Harris. Two years later Harmon
was reelected over Warren G. Harding
by more than 100000 ballots, although
his vote was materially hTnllef imam III
1908. In 1912 Cox won by plurality of
nearly 100000 though his vote was less
than that of the Democratic standard
bearer in 1908. Last yea rhe was de-
feated, although his vote was larger than
it was in 1912 Frank 3. Willis, his sue
cessful opponent. Polled several thous-
and votes less than did Andrew Harris
in 1908.
The Presidential contest next year will
bring out a tremendous vote. No man
can predict what will happen when the
large number of citizens who have gotten
out of the habit of voting since 1908 walk
up to the polls to cast their ballots. 1t
behooves Republican leaders. from the
ward executives to State Chairman, to do
everything possible to put the party on
an invincible footing of enthusiastic
unity.
Nothing can be gained by minimizing
the strength and resourcefulness of so
able a politician as James NJ. Cox Over
confidence has lost many battles. 1t
should not be permitted to figure in the
1916 fight.

"Their'' Country

The Bodenreformers of Germany are
taking the government at its word in its
insistence that in this war the soldiers at
the front are fighting for their" coun-
try. They are agtating for a law that
will make truth of this patriotic fiction.
Homesteads for soldiers CKrieger heinz
statten) is the cry that is being raised in
Germany The specific demand IS that
land for homestead with a garden at
tached be furnished to every married sol
der returning from the war, or to the
family of every soldier who has fallen.
The land is not to be sold to the men.
They are to be given possession on
perpetual lease, and will be required to
pay to the government annual ground
rent.
The government is to lend them money
for buildings and, other improvements to
be repaid in easy payments. These inn
provements will be exempt from taxation.
This will give economic independence
to several millions of working class fam
lilies of Germany, and it may be taken
for granted that workers excluded from
its benefits will insist on extension of its
benefits to them. The man who stayed
at home to raise food and manufacture
supplies for the army may truthfully
claim to have been as important a fac
tor as the men on the firing line in the
work of killing soldiers of other nations.
1t is true that agitation for measure
of this kind does not necessarily mean
it's actual adoption. But the government
cannot reject it without declaring in ef-
feet that the men who have endured the
dangers and suffering of the war, have
been fighting for a country not their own,
and for a government that is utterly in
different to their rights.
What the Bodenreformers of Germany
are doing should be done by the land re-
formrs of Great Britain, France, Austria,
Russia and other belligerent nations. 1t

World Single Tax Convention

Th Single Tax Convention which will
be held at the Panama Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition in San Francisco, Aug
%. "a, and 25, has awakened much inter-
est in the life of Henry George and the
influence that caused him to write his
great work, Progress and Poverty" j.
II. Barry, editor of the San Francisco
Star, contributed the following very in
teresting article to James McClatchy, ed
itor of the Sacramento Bee in 1903:
THE highest tribute I think l ever
heard paid to James McClatchy-and it
was unconsciously done-was by Henry
George 1t was while the latter was yet
obscure but really great, for he had com
pleted the writing of Progress and Pow
erty,' and the authors edition was i'm
press | was one of the printers who set
type on that book. Mr. George was in
constant attendance at the office where
it was being printed, and read and re-
read all the proofs. One day an intimate
friend-an old typo-called on him while
he was standing by my case, and referr-
ing to the book, shook his head debiOus-
y and said: OF course l don't know,
anything about the merits of the work,
Henry. but it is difficult for even the
leading economists to find readers, and
think it'I fall as fiat as hell. l wouldn't
have many copies bound if l were you,
because it ssale will probably be confined
to few of your personal friends. You
may put me down for a copy. BY the
way, I'm a little short to-day have you
a half about your clothes?'
'As the great philosopher handed him
the half-which he found only after eX
plotting his vest as well as his trousers
pockets-he with rare good nature re-
marked: We'll, what you say may be
true; but I did not writ the book for eth
er personal profit or glory l do not know
that it will sell, or ever be read-and so
told my friend James McClatchyl, when
he urged me to undertake its writing
but this / do know, that some book, tell
ing the same truths, viii yet be written
which will be read
Il paid little attention to Mr.. Georges
words at the time { and quite agreed with
his pessimistic friend); but oft times
since then they have REQUIRED to me;
and during Mr.. Georges last visit to Cal
ifornia | mentioned the incident to him,
and asked him if it were a fact that
James McClatchy had inspired him to
write Progress and Poverty
Yes he said, his was the inspiring
voice that led me write the book-that
book of books which has made it's auth
ors name gloriously immortal, and which
to day is a beacon light to thinking hu-
manity the civilized world over.
Had James McClatchy done nothing
else, he would have done enough to make
the world better because he had lived
He was perhaph without knowing it, and
certainly without caring for any praise,
a benefactor of mankind"

Having paid all the expenses of the

of the deficit left by Democrats, the good
and wise Governor Willis is now going to
erect state office building with the in

Advertising space in the Demo-

than space taken in any other paper
