THE HERDOMADAL CROUCH
Author of Hampers Book on Lincoln.
By~Anthony Gross.

At recent banquet Secretary Dan
iels declared.
II don't know how much money any
man will put into Liberty bonds, but
if the richest man in America would
take out his money and buy Liberty
bonds, he would not do one-hundredth
part as much as any lad who has laid
down his life for us"
And / add that if he owned all the
money there was in the country and
borrowed again as much and put it all
into Liberty bonds he wouldn't be do
ing as much as the brave boy who is
fighting over there and has NOT laid
down his life. For what is money
after all? Just the merest dross I'M
less it brings in it's wake the highest
emoluments of civilization = namely,
honor and truth and justice and right
and liberty. The right to say the
things we think and to control our own
destinies and to have righteous re-
gard for the rights of others. In the
last of these standards of civilization
lies the very fundament on which the
modern fabric rests. Take that away
and there is just about enough left to
sweep up on dustpan. Germany, or
Hunland as prefer to call it, has cast
aside the great keystone, and what is
there left for her? Nothing. She has
lost the confidence of the world and
its regard. Might as well complete the

TWO CANDIDATES,
HENNESSY- -LAM0NTE,
TO UNITE ON ENEMY


on Tuesday Of this week the disput-
ed question as to which was the WIN
ner among the Democratic Candidates
in the recent primaries for the long
term United States senatorship nomi-
nation was settled by a "gentlemahs
agreement between Geore nj. La
Monte of Bound Brook, Alexander
simpson of Jersey City and Charles
O'Connor Hennessy of Hackensack.
ON account of the closeness of the vote
and delay incident to the counting oil
the ballots taken in the military camps,
AN official determination OF the can
yass is not likely to be arrived at for
some weeks. The unofficial count with
the soldier vote from several counties
incomplete shows LaMonte to be lead
ing Simpson by over 300 votes, and the
latter apparently leading Hennessy by
about $50. In order that the Demo-
Gratis might present united front, the
leading candidates, after conference,
agreed that the nomination OF La

So It Will, Mr.. Debs!


DebS, the American BOlshevik, fac
ing a 10 year term of Imprisonment,
says that everything will turn out for
good in time. Why, so it will, at the
end of his 10 year term. These vii
lians, who have deliberately misled
and deceived their followers, in exact
ly the same manner and with exactly
the same arguments as Lenine and
Trotzky, would produce in America
the same social conditions we see in
Russian today If they had their way.
Read their former weekly newspapers
and see the coarse vituperation they
poured out against the capitalists"
and you will see the identical language
used by Lenine and put into murder

For the Pallsadian.

The primary elections are now over
The candidates and their programs are
known. The Single Tax party of New
Jersey enters the field Of politics this
year for the first time. 1t has placed
in nomination William J. Wallace of
Newark as candidate for the United
States senate. also candidates for
members Of the, general assembly.
Winning Of the war Is the first object
of all patriotic men.
President Wilson in one Of his ap-
peais for the support Of our war pro-
gram said: 1--WE will all agree that 'pri-
yate MONOPOLY is indefensible and in
iolerable' and our program is founded
upon that conviction"
The most indefensible and intolera-
BILE monopoly is the land-land needed
Tor the production Of the food to win
the war. All materials essential for
the prosecution of the war come from
the land, and it Is abh0rent to all pa
,riotic, instincts that land should be
liesd idle for speculative profits.
There are one million acres Of fer
tile land in the state of New Jersey
that are shut out of use, held idle Tor
profit, turned into Stacker acres-much
aeit adjacent to towns and needed for
homes, crops and gardens.
Upon considering the public utter
ances of the candidates of the doml-
nant parties in this state we look IN
vain for anything that will in any way

Monte should be Immediately conced-
ed. He will therefore be the opponent
of Governor Edge for the long term
senatorship, while former Senator
Hennessy will make the campaign
against David Baird for the short
term. Messrs. LaMonte and Hennessy
will campaign together.
The primary returns showed the re-
markable strength of Mr.. Hennessy as
the anti-machine candidate for the
long term senatorship. Although APP
parently beaten by both, LaMonte and
Simpson, he carried every county in
the state, except Hudson, against Simp-
son, and beat LaMonte in ten or eleven
of the twenty-one counties. He car
ried Bergen, Passaic, Union, Middle
sex, Mercer, Warren and Sussex coun-
ties over all candidates. The hand
some support given to Simpson by the
Democratic organization in Hudson
was responsible chiefly for his large
vote.

FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR

disturb this '.indefensible and intoler-
able monopoly" Their programs are
utterly unrespOnsive to the Presidents
experimenting new, nothing funda-
mental.
We look in vain for any constructive
plan to establish just system of land
tenure that will give our soldiers, now
at the front making heroic sacrifices
and fighting our fight for liberty, a fair
stake in their country.
We look in vain for any aspira-
lions to this end
The single tax is the simple, fair and
easy way for opening the land for use.
Idle land makes idle men, gives specu-
lators their high prices and now, when
the need of~the hour Is food, helps the
Prussian enemy and threatens the ma
TONS safety.
Single tax-which means the public
ownership of ground rent-will change
the land system without confusion or
injury to any useful business or occu-
patton. 1t will destroy speculation in
land and will place all of us on an
equal plane in the employment of the
rent derived from it's use. 1t will take
fear and envy out of life, leaving us
all free to follow our warmer and high
er impulses.
Forward looking citizens will rejoice
at the opportunity presented in the
state of New Jersey, through the Sim
gle Tax party and it's candidates, to
align themselves with and to vote for
this fundamental reform.
