\ writer in the Unpopular lie
view tells OF conversation with
former President Diaz of Mexico. in
the days of his power. He had asked
Diaz why he did not apply the Single
Tax and break up the large estates. "
To which Diaz replied: 1T must be
be done some day. but one of my sue
cessors must do il.
Evidently the people of Mexico
agreed with DiaZ and so provided
him with a successor by means of a
revolution. But before this success
sor, Madero. could put the Single Tax
in operation. he was treacherously
deposed and murdered.
This put in power Huerta, an agent
of the landed interests. But even he.
now that these interests have been
unable to keep him in power, admits
the justice for the demand for the
Single Tax. In an interview with a
New York paper he said;
There is one very simple reform
that can be carried out and ought TO
be insisted upon--in Mexico II is
this; Under existing laws The pro-
pretor of land that is uncutivated
pays no taxes on II; and there are
many men of great wealth who keep
enormous landed estates uncultivated
lpurpoSely, so as to avoid paving taxes.
The government ought to tax unculti-
waited land high enough to force the
owners either to cultivate or to sell. "
CarranZa and villa both declare
themselves ready to put the reform
in force on restoration of peace. II
Mexico be left TO work out her onw
problems. the day will have gone
by when a President may shirk his
duty by saying zone of my successors
must do IT,
Had DaZ not waited for zone of
my successors" 10 do what he should
have done himself. he would not have
compelled through a revolution 10
so hasty departure. and he would
have been remembered in history as
the man who saved his country, not
as he must be-as the man who ruin
ed il.
But Mexico is not the only country
that needs the Single Tax And Diaz
is but the type of the Statesman every
where. who knows what this country
needs, but lacking the courage to
work for it, tries to delude himself
and others with the excuse that the
time for II has not yet come. May
Diaz's fate stand as a warning TO all
entrusted with power, who would
shift a pressing duty on to their sue
cessors.

ANOTHER FLY PREVENTIVE.
A Safe Larvacide That Has No injuii
Ou> Effect On Manure.

Another safe and effective weapon
against the typhoid or house fly Is
now being advocated by the L. ;. De
partment of Agriculture. This time
il is the use of powdered hellebore
which is readily obtainable and has
proved TO be an effective laryacide
II is claimed by that Department that
powdered hellebore mixed with water
and sprinkled over the manure. will
destroy the fly larvae as soon IS they
are Matched from the eggs.
Hellebore is especially recommend
ed for this purpose in that il does not
lessen the value of the manure or in
lure Vegetation. regardless of the
amount used. IL is said that this
chemical decomposes in the fermenta-
ton of the manure and does no harm
except 10 the larvae il is intended to
destroy. This is not true OF almost
all other chemicals used as laryacides.
BoraX. which is Just as effective as
hellebore in killing fly larvae and
which is less expensive, will most
likely work some damage when more
than Is tons of the boraN-treated ma
nure are used 10 the acre.
The importance of cleanliness and
the early removal of all manure is
not TO be lost sight of. The best re-
suits ohtainable are where premises
are kept clean. where flies are killed
or trapped and where either hellebore
or borax is applied accordiug TO di-
rections.
The directions issued with The rec
concentrations of hellebore a. lar
yicide are these.
"one-half pound of powdered helle-
bore mixed with 10 gallons OF water
is sufficient to kill the larvae in eight
bushels or 10 cubic feet. of manure.
The mixture should be sprinkled care
fully over the pile. especial attention
being paid TO the outer edges
In other words not quite q pound
is necessary for one horse per week.
The New York market quotes the
price of hellebore 10 be from q TO so
cents per pound in wholesale lots and
borax TO be 10 TO IL cents per pound,
The relative value of each based on
the cost can thus be readily obtained.

a Tinker's Dam.
Greensboro News.


This paper occasionally employs
the substantive "a tinker's dam" in
comparisons aiming to express the
minimum of value of efficiency for a
given purpose, and innocently. Not
worth a tinker's dam may possibly
not be an innocent expression; but
we believe il to be such, therefore We
employ il without a quaint is in
nocent in our using. Our understand
ing as to the original connotation of
the term agrees with that of reader
of the New York Sun, who writes to
that paper:
In his letter to the sun on the
subject of Prohibition ueber Allies.
William S. Kyle uses the expression,
you wouldn't care tinker's maledic-
ton. This contributor, and others
who so often use corruption of the
expression 'tinker's dam, all seem TO
assume that il is profane expression.
As a matter of fact, II is nothing of
the sort. and those who assume that
ii is do not know its real origin or
meaning.
Years ago, as is well known. wan
dering thinkers or timers were COM
mon in almost every community
Carrying their soldering kit in their
hands, these tinsmiths would go from
kitchen TO kitchen. mending leaky
pots, pans and kettles. In those days
the art of soldering had not been per-
fected by the use of acid, which
causes the solder TO adhere TO that
spot covered by the muriatic acid So
luton.
TO prevent the solder from
spreading these wandering tinsmiths

form into a circular dam around the

was universal with them"
So far, so good. but the Suns read

figure of speech fails TO impress us.
Says he:
often, however, having no dough
on hand, the housewife would furnish
instead. soft batter.
This was OF very little value for
the purpose intended, as was many
times the thin dough furnished. The
dam made from such material would
be practically useless. The tinker's
dam was known to every household.
Half the time the dam was useless on
account of the poor material. Hence
the expression became common, not
worth a tinker's dam.
Maybe so. but II does not sound
plausible II indeed 'the tinker's dam

cry household should have known
enough about II that II would not be
