A Big, Rough Dressed, Bearded Man
Stood in the Middle Of the Road
With a Gun on His. Shoulder.
Say mister, look down into that val
ley there" the stranger began. "See
all them houses-they're the little
houses O. the poor. See how smooth
the land is? Who built them houses?
Who cleaned that land? Was it Mr..
Livingston? BY hockey nettie! I guess
not. The men who live there built the
houses an cleaned the land. We amt
got nothin' else-not a dollar! It's all
gone to the landlord. I am for the
men who made every rod O. that land
an who own not a single rod Of it.
Years an years ago a king gave it to
a man who never cut n tree or laid
n stone on another. The deeds say
bushels O. wheat a year but the land is
NO good for wheat, an amt been for
a hundred years. Why, We see, mis-
ter, a good many things have happened
in three hundred years. The land was
willin' to give wheat then an a good
many folks was willin' to be slaves. By
hockey nettie! they had got used to it.
Kings an magistrates an slavery
didn't look SO bad to 'em as they do
now. Our brains have changed-that's
what's the matter-same as the soil
has changed. We want to be free like
other folks in this country. America
has growed up around us but here we
are Twin back in old Holland three
hundred years ago. 1t don't set good.
We see lots O. people that don't have
to be slaves. They own their land an
they amt worked any harder than we
have or been any hore savin'. That's
why I say we can't pay the rents no
more an ye mustn't. try to make us.
By hockey nettie! You'll have trouble
il We do"
The truth had flashed upon me out
of the words of this simple man. Tn
til then had heard only one Side of
the case. If I were to be the servant
of justice, as. Mr.. Wright had advised,
what was I to do? These. tenants had
been Grimshawed and were being
Grimshawed out Of the just fruits of
their toll by the feudal chief whose
remote ancestor had been a kings ia
vorite. Fol half a moment I watched
the wavering needle Of my compass
and then:
eff what you say is true I think you
are right" I said.
IT don't agree with you," said young
Latour. "The PATRONS have a clear
title to this land. If the tenants don't
want to pay the rents they ought to
get out and make way for Others"
Look here, young man, my name is
Josiah Curtis" said the stranger. II
live in the first house on the right
hand side O. the road. You way tell
the judge that I won't pay rent no
more-not as long as I live-and I
won't git ont, either"
"Mr. Latour, you and Purvis may 20
on slowly-IM overtake you soon" I
said.
They went on and left me alone with
Curtis. He was getting excited and
wished to allay his fears.
"Don't let him try to serve no writs
or therell be hell to pay in this val
ley" said Curtis.
"In that case I shall not try to serve
the writs. I don't want to stir up the
neighborhood, but I want to know the
facts. I shall try to see other tenants
and report what they say. 1t may lead
to a settlement"
We went on together to the top of
the hill near which we had been stand,
Ing. Far ahead saw II cloud of dust

REALLY DANGEROUS CONSCIENTIOUS
DIRECTORS

To avoid what may result in nationwide
calamity, somebody ought to take club and purge
the lower house of congress Of gents posing as
conscientious DIRECTORS to immediate sending of
the war revenue bill to conference. .
Unless agreement on disputed parts of the bill
is reached within few days, taxpayers of 1919
will be in the dark as to what they must pay. They
can pay under present rates, but with certainty
Of paying supplemental rates to make up the in
creases for 1919 And that sort of scrap would
surely be monkeywrench in the machinery of
reconstruction, at time when the great concern
of the nation is to find jobs for armies of jobess
men.
But the conscientious DIRECTORS in the house
propose to consume precious time in trying to talk
to death such features of the bill as elimination
of the postal zone SYSTEM taxation of products of
child labor, making the District of Columbia
dry" and taxation Of campaign contributions.
NICE rank situation, at time when the whole
country is eager to go ahead full bent isn't it?

We are getting real holy talk from that Balkan
ally of the Hun just now because Bulgaria thinks
that it can pull the wool over the eyes of the
peace conferees and perhaps-happy thought
even succeed in getting something out of the war
after all.
When this barbarian Balkan nation entered the
war as an ally of Wilhelm the Devil it was for
two reasons:
William offered the highest price.
William offered the biggest outlet for Bulgarian
deviltry.
During the war between Bulgaria and Greece
and Serbia in 1913 barrels of severed ears and
fingers were found along the line of Bulgarian re-
treat. There were earrings and fnger-rings on
these relics of manhood and womanhood, cruelty
slashed from captive norl-combatants by Bulga-
