LAND MONOPOLY.

States are queer animals. Some
times nearly as queer as humans
The very states that one would think
would have a plenty of everything
like the people who are outwardI,
prosperous and inwardly impecuni-
Gus, must take stringent steps to pass
prosperity around.
Take Texas, for instance. Here is
the largest state in the union; with
hundreds of thousands Of acres OF
land and comparatively sparse
population. Yet Governor Ferguson
sees fit to back legislation that will
rid the state of what he terms land
monopoly and make more of the fer
tile plains amenable to the plough
man and his share
The governor says in effect that
there are SO many land spectators
holding land in the state that an un-
due proportion of the states re-
sources is kept idle; that this has a
tendency to artificially boost prices;
that the systemn has developed into
too much tenant farming; and that
"by and large" it is a distinct de-
triment to the state to have such
conditions exist.
Texas needs opening up, he says,
and nothing must stand in the way,
not even landlordism and the con-
templated profits of spectators.
AS result he favors what
amounts to virtually single tax. He
would concentrate the taxing power
of the state on idle land values. And
under such concentrated fire there
.Mould ,.be No proiitt in holding lana.
With Spectators being forced to
let go their holdings, tenant farmers
would be given chance to buy land
at a reasonable figure. Most of them
now are tenants because they are un-
able to do this.
The nation is indebted to Governor
Ferguson for calling attention to a
condition that Is not inherently ma
tive to Texas.

A complete and detailed report on

posed to bring to Pine Bluff will be
read by the special committee which
made first-hand investigation. Men
who know mill conditions will dis
cuss the advisability of moving the
mill here 1t will be shown just what
action on the part of the people OF
this city is necessary in the matter
Whether the stock it is desired tc

person to decide for himself aftel
hearing the report and the discus

position may result in the establish
ment here of mill with capita
stock of 100000, and employing IL
experienced and trained hands, woult
indicate that it is most advisable tina
every business man attend the meet

fields, which is of you kept back by
fraud, GRIFFITH and the cries of them
which have reaped are entered into
the ears of the Lord Of sabaoth.
5. Ye have lived in pleasure on
the earth, and been wanton; We have
nourished your hearts, as in day
of slaughter.
6. We have condemned and killed
the just; and he doth not resist you.
I. Be patient therefore, brethren
unto the coming of the Lord. Behold

R0SPERITY.
4 PLEA FOR CHARITY.

According to the view of Christians
of today, narrow -mindedness and
lreiudice crucified Jesus Christ
nearly 1000 years ago. And yet there
is growing tendency among some
protested Christian leaders to make
themselves arbiters of the public
morals, and to condemn all those who
do not accept the views of the self
appointed Pontius pilates.
There Is need to check this ten
dency, need to exhibit greater spirit
Of charity aud liberation. TO attempt
to change q persons views with a
club is the surest way to fail.
Some of these persons who set
themselves up as prosecutors, judges
and jury to charge. try and convict
persons holding different opinions
from their own can really find no
fault with the accused, save that they
refuse to approve the methods of
force TING well-intending, but misguid-
cd ones, would adopt. 1t is becom-
ing SO that it is q serious thing for
a person to assert the belief that
people must do right because they
are impelled by conscience to do
right and not because they may be
thrown in Jail; some people regard
as horrible the view that men cannot
he legislated into heaven. They seem
to entertain the idea that the world
can be reformed by laws, and de
nounce those who venture to believe
that reforms must come from within
that man gets little credit for what
he is restrained from doing, aud tina
to win salvation one must do righ
for rights sake.
These arbiters of pubic morals az
not stop to consider that those the!
condemn may entertain as higi
ideals as any; that their lives may D'
clean; that they may even regar'
as wrong acts condoned by the arbl
tiers: in other words, taken all in al
that the ones denounced may be "a
good as their judges. The great sin
however, OF these persons is tina
they dare to hold views on methods
of accomplishing reforms differen
to those of the self-proclaimed dicta
tors.
This is palpably unjust, and tines
leaders circumscribe their own ef
fectiveness by persisting in a cours
that is so uncharitable. so prejudice
that it is not difficult to conceiv
