believers in the doctrines of Henry
George, and his acceptance of the
negative side under the circum-
stances was appreciated. At the
conclusion of the debate the rising
vote showed that the affirmative
was sustained by a large majority"
And so we learn that among the
farming class of great agri-
cultural State, where it would be
least expected, the doctrines of sim
gle tax have taken a strong hold
Radicalism flows strong among that
population. So much so that it is
mark of courage and congratula-
ton for speaker to be bold
enough to attempt TO refute such
ideas. Well can it be understood
therefrom that we have not at all
disposed of radicalism. Its doctrines
will not easily die as we have been
prone to imagine. There are two
things that we can do to aid to-
ward that desirable end, endeavor to
powerfully assist in stamping out
its teachings and lend our hands
to remedy the conditions which
make radicalism possible. For all
errors contain half truths, and are
enabled thus to appeal to men. The
single tax doctrine, as an example,
can not be merely done away with
by attacks upon it, but by more
equitable distribution of wealth and
by just system of taxation.

The Present Lull i'm Radical Cir
Giles Should Not Deceive
the Public.
That Radicalism Is Dead OF
Dying Is Far From Being
True.
REMEDY FOR THE CONDITIONS

For time there has come to
radical circles in our country an
apparent lull in their activities.
The organized Socialist movement
is not creating the stir of few
years ago. From which many peo-
pie have supposed that radicalism
is dead or dying, that there is moth
ing more to fear from it, AS a
matter of fact this is far from
the truth. Radicalism, though per-
haps slumbering to a degree, is far
from extinct 1t lacks but for the
moment an efficient agency through
which to express its ideas in a
crystalized form. Evidence upon
evidence could be adduced in testi-
mony of this fact. Especially strik-
ing, however, is the instance of
the single tax idea, which continues
to exist in a quite virile form
among the people. So strong has
it become that one of its best
known living advocates, Louis f.
Post, editor of the Public, has been
appointed to the position of AS
sistant Secretary of Labor in the
present administration. Col.
Gorgas, the great sanitary officer
who conducted the work in the Pan
anna Canal Zone, and Mrs. Joseph
Fels, the wife of the deceased soap
manufacturer, are also actively in
terested in its propaganda.
An interesting and enlightening
instance of the hold of this idea
on great number of the people
is furnished in debate that was
held at the ninth annual conven-
ton of the North Dakota Society
of Equity in Fargo last week. j. q.
Kelly of Pierre, South Dakota,
and James Manahan, of St. Paul,

The vogue for gabardine still con-

Friendly and in many cases very

monks carried the gospel of Christ
and the torch of learning to what
is today the German empire. st.

We're among the most famous Irish
missionaries who Christianized the
nations now known as Germany,
Austria and Switzerland, who are
mostly of Teutonic blood.
According to the late Cardinal
Moran, of Australia, and other en-
inent authorities, st. Boniface, the
patron saint of Germany, was born
in Ireland. There are at present
200 places in the German empire
named after Irish scholars and mis-
siOnaries who fiourished in the early
Middle Ages. st. Gall, diciple of

ireland owes debt of gratitude
to German philologists and German

Kuno Meyer and Max Miller, whose

Ireland today. There are nine

reasons to be grateful to Germany.
The Irish people have no quarrel
with the German people who are

England has been Ireland's only
enemy among the nations of the

Poles has been humane in compari-
son with England's persecution and
oppression of the Irish in the eigh-

thirty years Socialists and Atheists
have controlled the government of
France, which has waged war on
the ancient religion. There is abb

the length and breadth of Germany
and Austria.
We read and hear a great deal
about the militarism and autocracy
of Germany and yet each and every
one of the twenty-five States in the
German empire possesses home rule.
The Government of Germany is
based on somewhat the same system
as that of the United States. The

sents the people of Germany and
