DIVINE RIGHT "Veritas" asks:
"Who oppose the single. tax, and,
why?" Strange any one is ignorant
after 1 have taught the real social
science. When my instructions are
ignored l become peevish. The land
tax cannot be the sole tax, because
that would be taking for public use
the rent that has always been the in
come of my class, and always will It
is the divine plan.
Monarchs took the land by divine
right, and gave it to the mobiles, who
lease it to the toiling class. Some
subtle force compels these tenants to
pay the rent without question or
complaint; call it natural law, if you
like, the effect is the same-that
ease and culture are supported by
ground rent, all in the order of ma
ture. L know many become victims
because of lack of opportunity, but
this is mostly because they are un-
fit. So are insects and worms; they
cannot cope with teh creatures who
devour them.

WHY ASK A CHANGE?

Next year the country will be ask.
ed to choose between an administra.
tion which has represented the pro.
gressive spirit that the country said
lit wanted, and party that at pres
ent gives every indication of coming
out more or less boldly for return
to the Hanna conception of govern
ment. The republicans will answer
the following questions:
Would they have gone to war
over Belgium?
2-Would they have gone to war
over Mexico
will they repeal the currency
act?
4-Will they restore the Payne
Aldrich tariff act?
There will be other questions, but
behind will lie one answer to them
all. Do we like government actu-
ally conducted on principle or do we
not? Do we desire back-stairs in
|sfluence and mohey-pull to be restor-
ed? Do we like moral principles in
action or only in sonorous words?-

THE RETURN OF PROSPERITY.

OF the rapid return OF prosperity
there is every indication in the re-
ports from many industrial centers
published yesterday in the World
The testimony everywhere points the
same way.
Naturally at this time the tendency
is to emphasize the influence Of war
conditions abroad upon the revival
of business in the United States. 1t
is easy to lay too much stress upon
T this phase of the situation. Social
ed war orders affect directly only a
limited number of industries in this
country. Discrimination of certain
parts of the national system of pro-
duction and exchange would be an
uncertain way to the restoration of
a generally healthful state of bust
ness. 1t is a broader business recov-
cry than this which is recorded.
The normal condition of this coun-
try is prosperity. 1t produces and
consumes on a scale of it's own that
calls for the activity OF most OF it's
energies. 1t is one of the very few
self-sufficing countries in the world,
and it's resources are still undevelop-
ed. Even in spite of the war, indus
try and trade, with their adoption to
new circumstances, should regain
their proper level in time. They may
regain it more quickly because Eu-
rope as a producer is largely idle and
is wasting it's strength and wealth in
war, but we have every reason to
trust in the future, because as peo-
pie apart we are at peace and must
feed and clothe and build for 100,-
100000 Americans and their neigh
bors.-New York World
