Mrs. Mary FEELS

Mrs. Mary Fels
Joseph FEELS was known throughout
the world because of his work in the
single tax movement. Mr.. Fels was q
friend of Henry George, and when the
latter died, his son, Henry George,
junior, who is a member of Congress,
pledged his life to the responsibility
of carrying on the great reform enun-
ciated by his father. Joseph Fels had
arranged a great work which he pro-
posed to carry on, but man proposes
and God disposes, and he was called
to his greater reward, leaving his wife,
Mary Fels, who had worked with him
for years to continue the task. Today
she is looked upon as one of the most
influential women of America. When
she came to Washington recently the
single tax advocates arranged a re-
ception and banquet, which was a mag
n~ificent affair, attended by one hun
dred and fifty representative men and
women, who sought to do honor to
Mrs. Fels. The single tax gathering
turned out to be a peace meeting, and
among the speakers to pay tribute to
the guest of honor was Colonel Will
liam Jennings Bryan.
Mrs. Fels went to Europe on the
Oscar land she proclaims the fact
proudly. She was elected by the mem
bers of the Ford party as one of the
delegates to the Neutral Conference
fer Continuous Mediation, which is
o. in session in Stockholm, Sweden,
She expects to return to the commits.
sion and to help the organization,
which is composed of representatives
of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Hol

States, in the work they are doing fol
constructive peace and international
disarmament.
The biography of Joseph Fels about
to be published, will necessarily be in
part the story OF his wife, Mary Fels
1t will be a wonderful work, since it is
to record the useful work Gone by 4

red bonds of love, and inspired by {
single purpose to sacrifice persona
comforts and pleasures, and to use
their great fortune in behalf of the
causes of humanity. There are no
many such people enlisted in SO I'm

honor the memory Of Joseph Fels
