zollern would breathe great sign of relief if he could convince the world that he was as dead as, say, his distinguished fellow-Caesar, Cali gula. Obviously if man is dead once he cannot die again. William Hohenzollern, once civilly dead and removed from the judgment of tribu- nals of this world, could live on in peace for 20 years at Amerongen.
 But is he dead? It is a nice ques- tion of legal fiction, of the delicate definitions of jurisprudence and meta hpysics. "The king of Prussia is dead Long live the king of Prussia. is now become as sounding brass and tinkling symbol; the king of Prussia is dead and a consistent assembly lives. But the king of Prussia, con sidered as an immortal legal entity, a corporation sole, must have his dwelling from time to time in certain mortal bodies, from which he moves as they fall into ruin. If. therefore, the king of Prussia removes from his latest tenement of clay sooner than had been expected, and finds no other place to go, the situation is not diff ferent from that of a gentleman who removes from an apartment in town to bungalow ill Westchester, and finds upon arrival that the bungalow has been burned over night and that his furniture has been piled on the road The apartment where he used to live still exists, although he left 1t; and whatever may be the misfortunes of that impersonal being, the king or Prussia, William Hohenzollern is at present only the deserted apartment. His present agitation may be com pared, continuing the metaphors or real estate, to that of the owner Of a property who wonders if his tenants misdoings do not, as certain laws provide, inculpate the landlord.
 But aside from these philosophical hair splittings there is another cir constance which invalidates Eitel's filial argument offhand, namely, that William Hohenzollern does not admit that he is dead. So far from being convinced that he is dead already, he seems to be actively afraid that he is going to die in the near future. Will liam will have to be deader than this before the world will believe it. New York Times.

 In String Beans" Charles Ray is cast as Toby Watkins, a young farmer, whose penchant for writing poems rouses the ire of his narrow minded uncle, the result being that he quits the farm and accepts the position as subscription solicitor on the SaWbert Weekly Clarion. He meets and loves Jean Morris, daughter of the mayor of Sawbert, and she returns his love. Kendall Reeves, a crook known as the police as Harry Morgan, comes to Sawbert to work a, fake cannery scheme and Toby, at the request of Zachary Batrum, editor of the Char ion, attends a mass meeting to speak in opposition to the project. When Toby sees Jean Morris in the audi ence his courage deserts him and he fees ignominiously from the hall. He overhears Reeves talking to a former pal, who is now employed on the Clarion and the mans criminal char acter is revealed. Reeves learns that exposure is inevitable and he seeks to force Mayor Morris to pay him $5,00O for a majority interest in the fake cannery and then decamps. Toby goes to the Morris home and finds Jean struggling with Reeves. He rescues her and after desperate battle masters the crook. Batrum and Morris, who have long been enemies, are reconciled and through them the love affair of Toby and Jean reaches a happy denouement. MT.

SinoIe Tax in New York.

An ideal single tax proposition has
been made TO New York city by cor
poration. Its chief value as an eX-
ample lies in the fact that 1t was made
quite unconscious of the single tax
doctrine. 1t is an eminently fair and
businesslike proposition and must re-
ceive the approval of all single takers.
The corporation proposes TO lease a
certain portion of city owned lands in
Jamaica bay for IA period of 40 years,
the rents TO he $4,000 the first ten
years, then 100000, then 100000 and
finally 100000, on CONDITION
THAT THERE BE NO TAXATION

single tax in full working order. How
do you like it? Is there any Social
ism, Bolshevism or any other absurd
ism in it Inconsistent with American
ism of the purest ideal as you under
stand it?
