Udu IHlHS Iof society. 1t breeds dlS-
content in poverty stricken people.
Those who own the land own everyone
that lives thereon. William the Con-
queror knew this and gave the land of
England to his 10000 soldiers, thus
placing the conquered Saxons in slav-
cry without the name
Only Slight Improvement
Russia, even under the Reds, has ad-
vanced above the terrible conditions
produced by the late Car and his no.
bles. 1t is only the horrors produced
by attempting to carry out the impos-
sible MARKHAM theories that have sepa-
rated that country from civilization.
Marxism teaches that we are but drill
ed apes and the effect of its application
is to cause us to lose even that drill
Lenine has found the strict application
OF that theory to produce nothing but
disaster, and in order to save himself
he has abandoned the very essence of
MarXism. When the government pre-
vents the free exchange of goods it be-
comes tyrannical and a hindrance to
prosperity. This charge may be
brought against Prohibition and con-
troll of the opium trade, but it must be
remembered that there are valid excep-
lions to every rule. The prosperity of
the trade in cocaine, etc, is destroyed
when the government prevents or con-
trolls its operation.
Try Mathematics
The Unemployment Committee, as
forecasted, has come to a most deplor-
able and impotent conclusion. They
have followed one of the methods of
Euclid by starting with false premise
and arriving at an absurdity. Here are
the keenest and brightest brains in the
entire country, and because they are
the keenest and brightest they have
ben honest in their logic and, of course.
like Euclid, have proved their problem
impossible of solution. Had they been
radical in their processes and COM
menced by trying to find the true cause
Of the misery they would have come to
right and triumphant end and they
would have ended all unemployment in
this country for all time.
Long Neglected Problems
The Coalition and the Tammany par
ties in New York city have each nomi-
mated a woman for city register, and
these ladies are writing their views in
the papers. The topics they discuss
are as far from the old time ideas as it
is possible to conceive. Fancy the for
mer manly candidates for this office be-
labOring each other as to the effect of
the election of either on the home and
the children. What mine of wealth
for the cartoonist that would have
been! But are not these questions of
more Importance than the Shuff1ing of
political cards so as to reward a dOcile
follower Of the Organization" for
crooked work in getting out the vote?'
And neither of the ladies hint at such a
subject
Another Field Open
Argentina has evolved a single tax
party, with headquarters in Monte
video, very much to the amazement of
the leading paper of that city. The
editor says in effect that the doctrine
of Henry George is a semi-religious
idealism that heretofore has had no
place in practical politics, but that
now it has entered the political arena
it has become force to be reckOned
with. The practical politicians" of
this country will realize this factor
whenever single takers by conviction
are not afraid to 'throw away their
votes" EARSEN I. SOPEN.
