says that party government is essen
tial to the welfare of the country. That
Is so, but not in war; Did not the
entire decent part of the world place
all it's welfare in the hands of Mar
shall Foch, just as that corrupt gang
of pirates placed their all in the hands
of Ludendorf? 1t is like the salt that
has lost it's SAVIOR. A party that is
merely destructive and that has no
constructive program should never be
supported by the honest voter. Some
newspapers ask us to vote for the
Republicans because they say great
deal more than they intend to do. They
SAY they will scrap the League of
Nations, but they will GO IN when
elected. How can any decent man
cOnnive at such practice? No Won
der people call for Third Party.
We cannot sink much lower in in

The Question of the Sphinx.

Mr.. Colby asked a poser of Mr..
Harding the other day. He said HAS
he (Senator Harding) ever given you
any reason to think that he feels, or
perceives the gap between poverty and
wealth, and has any idea as to how it
may be filed up with equity to both,
and injustice to neither?" This is a
good question to put to any of our
present day politicians = even Mr..
Colby himself What ideas have any
of these opposites propounded on that
subject? Henry George is the only
man that ever brought out a clear
unassailable plan for bridging the gap
without injustice to any man. He was
elected mayor of New York against
the most INSCRIPTIONS thieving set of
political rogues that ever disgraced the
city. One man told me that the one
blot on his life was that he allowed
himself to be involved in the purchase
of George voters in conjunction with
the Tammany captain, he being on the
Republican side. Afterwards when he
realized the purity and nobility of that
great man, remorse overcame him and
he determined to undo the harm wher-
ever possible. The Single Tax Party
is now engaged in promulgating the
doctrines of Henry George in order to
bridge this gap between poverty and
wealth without robbing single soul.

THE CAMPAIGNS END.

The end of the great campaign is
about in sight Next Tuesday will see
the real finish Here in the east we
see only the anti-league claims leading
for the reason that the Republican
press largely predominates, especially
among the larger cities Most of the
big eastern weeklies also are Repub-
lican, so that the casual reader all the
while in this section gets reports OF
the situation as it appears here.
But the cast is really no criterion
for the rest of the country. When one
passes Judgment on anything connect
ed with an election, within the past
eight years especially, there is at least
one man with whom all must reckon.
His name is Woodrow Wilson. III
there is any question that he is the
master politician of the age, If not OF
the ages, it might as well be dispelied
here and now. He is making no claims
about this election, but 1t would not
be at all surprising if there happens

REEVE ENCE.

To give technical definition of
Reverence" one must go to the die
tionary, though no doubt any one
knows fully it's meaning, though not all
of us may value it's significance Rev
erence is feeling of respect, often
mingled with awe and affection. Also,
it is worshipful regard when directed
to the divine and sacred. We could
say that "The Italian climate robs age
of it's reverence and makes it look
newer than it is" but that is a mega
tive illustration.
We are taught when young to rev.
erencce old age, which is correct
teaching, for there is nothing more
to be honored than age OF course,
there are ways and ways of growing
old, and some do 1t most ungracefully.
But the principle of having respect
for age is undeniable. Having rev.
erence is the one lofty way of showing
our respect for God When we do not
have reference for God we have no
direction except that we are travelling
away from Him. Reverence may be
carried into, other channels than re-
ligion. A man may love his wife with
an affection akin to reverence, or a
wife may look upon her husband or
children in like manner. But that
is scarcely reverence, but rather form
of idolatry. God gives us so many evil
dences of His tender mercies that una
less we reverence His holy name we
are departing from the one safe way
to determine our love and loyalty to
Him. We should have reverence for
the House of God, which is place of
spiritual worship.
Reverence for the traditions of our
fathers and for our country is proper.
We hold somehow to the doctrine that
when we chose President of our
country he should be looked upon in
a form of reverence and respected that
way. Our ideals along this line are
absolute
We may reverence duty, and there IS
no finer thought This is one of the
highest ideals. Reverence for optimism
is another fine ideal to strive for. And
it Is easy because it is natural. Opti-
mism is virtue, power an evidence
that we can make every cloud have
silver lining. The more we study life
the more we understand that there
is compensation for every trouble, and
recompense for every pain. Therefore
have reverence for optimism because
it leads us away from the pitfalls Of
despair. The derelicts of the great
cities would never spend their nights
on the park benches if they were opti-
mists. Optimism is the key to happi-
ness.
Again, reverence is sort of in
fiuence that unconsciously uplifts us.
Having reverence is having faith. If
we have faith in ourselves we have it
in mankind, and we must revere God
for giving us that large scope for the
altar on which we build hope. 1t was
the illustrious George Eliot who said
that mo soul is desolate as long as
there is a human being for whom it
can feel trust and reverence"

to be spill. Wilson is the smartest,
sharpest, most astute wielder of pO-
litical processes looking to results
that ever sat in the White House. His
counterpart in this direction has never
lived in this country. If he sees the
handwriting on the wall he isn't say
ing SO.
These remarks are not made in the
spirit of any party, but merely to state
fact But Wilson's influence is still
his partys largest asset. He is the
biggest brains there is, and when he
thinks the party functions.

Aftermath,

Already the demon of idleness is
showing its ugly visage among us,
and like the camel that was allowed
to put his head under the tent, will
soon crowd his entire body within.
This will become the excuse for re-
ducing wages. The last thing to come
down will be the rent of land, for near
ly all that is tied up in fixed leases.
The laborer lives from day to day !;
the capitalist from job to job; and
the landowner from lease to lease. If
the fittest survives, who do you think
will survive the longest of the three?

Italian Socialists report that Rus
sian Socialism is not exactly suitable
for Italy. 1t will take fifty years to

a modified way of repeating Mrs.

years is much too long a period to
set, unless the Russians have the vi

If the entire country could deter
mine upon a policy that would estab-
fish the single tax, most of the COM
plexities of government would disap-
pear-that is, so far as raising revenue
is concerned. The trouble has been
that our systems of taxation have
been so varied that they lack definite
ness and direction. Here at home in
our local bOroughs valuations are al
ways at skies and sevens because of
inequalities of assessments. There is
no head to anything. They look at
house or a piece of land and put down
it's ratable value at a guess, or else
somebody essays to prompt the as
SCISSOR and he puts down what some
body else says.
In the single tax there is only one
price for all--no tax on homes or any
thing above ground. What the land is
worth is fixed by what it produces.
Isn't that simple? Residence land
would be valued on the basis of de-
STABILITY; farm land on what it pro-
duces. Wall street land would be rated
the same way. That is the tax we all
want, and ought to have, but can't get.
