Still others may have preferred to let the. interest

ed yptcahy southern opinions. He participated in the 30
cession movement, maintaining. with other representative
men OF his section. that the American organization was
tnat OF a partnership among states, from which any aone
OF the partners might withdraw lat its own opinion.
When the attempt to put that theory into practice result
ed IN war he entered the confederate army and demon
strated the strength of his convictions by his acts.
The four years of warfare established the fact that
ours was an indissoluble union, and this fact was accept
ed by young White and thousands of his fellows as the
basis on which the future relations of the citizen to the
nation must be founded. He entered Into the work of re-
construction after the war as enthusiastically as he had
supported the cause Of his state, and became an impor-
tant factor in the affairs Of the nation whose existence
and authority he had accepted without reserve,
Judge White was appointed to the supreme court by
Grover Cleveland. then president, and a member of his
own party. He was understood to represent the progress
i've spirit in the southern democracy, and it was for this
reason that he found. favor with President Cleveland.
Perhaps his attitude in supporting the Cleveland policy on
the repeal Of the Sherman silver purchase act influenced
American affairs more than any other of his acts.
Entering the supreme bench of the nation against
which he had once been in arms, Judge White was ele-
waited to the chief j~usticeship Of that court by a president
who was himself a member of another party, President
Taft defying the tradition that. such appointments should
be from the political party Of the appointing omcial. He
chose rather to recognize merit regardless of party, and
to promote the individual who, in his opinion, merited
promotion, and whose advancement was in accord with
the public interest. .a.
Justice White was honored for his high personal
character and respected for his legal ability. His own
career exempli6ed in no small measure the greatness of
the nation. and the comparative littleness of things some
times in conflict with it. l., ,

rowN1EY AND SOCIALISM

1t is amazing how sensitive Townley is on the subject
of Socialism. Every time the subject is mentioned in
his presence he hedges. The record being so clearly
against him he does not deny that he was himself a mem
Der Of the Socialist organization. But he told a Kansas
audience the other day that he had quit the party be-
cause 1t contained 30 many nuts. What his reasons are
he may explain as he ses At. 1t is a fact that he was a
member Of the Socialist party. and 1t is a fact that he is
50 no longer.
But Townley would like to get out from under the
impression that he is still a Socialist in policy, whatever
he may be in formal party membership. Recently he
challenged LANCER to name a man whom he. Townley;
had appointed, who was a Socialist, LANCER named one
Immediately, and received no denial. In response to
hangers challenge that he name an appointee OF his who
was not 4 Socialist. @Townley names three, and LANCER
Immediately declared all three socialists and told to what
local organisations they belonged.
For Townley to deny his connection, past and pres
ent,% with Socialism, Is AZ futile a. to deny that the sun
rises. The proofs are abundant and indisputable. He
was assisted in the trsanization Of the Nonpartsan
league by Charles Edward Russell. one Of the best known
Socialists IN the country. For years one Of his close COM
panions and advisors was Arthur LeSueur, who has been

TAXATION AND TENANTRY.

A. Virginia man writes of farm tLnantry and taxa
ton in his state. He reports that on a recent tour through
one of the wealthiest counties in Virginia he noticed that
houses, while around them were shabby unkept dwell
ings. On inquiring he found that the former were occu-
licn by owners of farms and the latter by tenants. Usu-
ally the orcuJGnt of the good residence was also the own
er OF mcst OF the surrounding property. He was told
that in that section when a man makes a little money
he buys land with it. When he makes more money he
buyE more land. This process being repeated over and
over. IL comes to pass that the land is all owned by the
moneymakcrs End its former owners occupy it as tenants.
Investigating the situation further he found that
farm land is taxed at a lower rate, proportionedA to Its
actual value. than is property Of other kinds. This tends
to promote the acquisition Of land, but not the accumula-
ton Of property of other kinds. 1t pays better to own
land than 10 farm 1t, and those who are shrewd and sue

that can be had for the taking.
