HENRY GEORGE IDEA GROWS
Things are happening to gratify the
followers of the Henry (Jeorge single
tax these progressive clays. For in-
stance. New York City, at the oth.
extremity of the continent from Van
«-ouver. the single tax experiment sta
tion, Tuesday adopted what was
known in the election as amendment
4 to the city charter. Following a
principle in use in some European
cities, amendment 4 empowers the
city, when private land is bought for
a public use or improvement, to hold
a right of eminent domain over ad-
jacent land whose value may be fav-
orably affected by the improvement
I'nder this right the city may at a
future time buy the land at the value
fixed prior to the improvement, and
yet may then at once se.i the land at
the enhanced price which the public-
improvement gives to it.
It Is evident that by a lopting this
principle in its charter New York
strikes a blow at land speculation
The community, not the individual
land owner, receives the entire bene
fit of the community s improvement
work. The amendment was one ot s«.-v
eral submitted at Tuesday's election,
and to the credit of New York's new>
papers, most of them championed it
adoption, while opposing some other
amendments pending. It was clai
ed in beha'if of the amendment that
it would enable the city to make great
needed improvements without cost t«
the taxpayers, the enhanced value oi
adjacent land paying the cost
It is in the recognition of the prin-
ciple that Henry C.eorge so vigorous
ly pressed uj on the world, that the
community is entitled to the incre-
ment of land values due to community
pressure or effort, that New York
City's adoption of this charter amend
ment is significant and important to
cities throughout the countr

INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIES
News reports that it is the inten

the Pope suggests a clever bit ot , <>

Among this nearly half billion sou is
there is very likely a sentiment to
see the Cross supplant the Crescent
in the very region whence came the
Christian religion. Among Chris-
tians everywhere there is a devout
resentment against tile idea that the
Holy I^and is under the political pow-
er of the .Moslems
In the enthusiasm among the Chris
tians of tho world at the idea of re-
covering the TTf)!y T.and from the con

many a nation will overlook the
charges that 'Ualy we nt to wai with
'Turkey with a very slim excuse, and
under false pretences. Claiming that
the reason was Turkey's refusal to
consent to a protectorate over Tripoli.
Italy is said to have undertaken the
war simply for territorial aggrandise-
ment. and to secure commercial pres-
tige in the Mediterranean.
The suggestion that Italy will now
recover the Holy Land for the Pope
helps cover up the actual motive.

New York, Nov. 13.—"The United

Kuss'la and more enslaved by tradi-
tion than Kngland.' was the surpris-
ing statement made today by Dr.
Woods Hutchinson, who has returned
to this benighted land after a summer
spent in Kurope studying the child
question in general and the school
ipiestion in particular.
Tiie constitution ought t lie cliatig

genial revolutionist. "It may have

the people. Milt we are fettered hand

roe c iuntry. What would happen to
any one who rose up and said the
supreme court of the United States
should be abolished. He would be ar-
tel for treason, probably." «
• And." he added with his shrewd,
humorous smile, "the supreme court
should be abolished, for it is the great-
est barnacle < n tiie ship of state that
ever impeded the progress of a na-
tion.
Dr. Hutchinson is directing a course
of lectures in eugenics, now being
given at the West Side Young Men's
i hristian association. "A better crop
of boys and girls," is the subject of
the series, but the director of the
ourse makes merry even over the mar-
riage ipiestion.
"Marriage for love, for beauty, for
money, for soc ial position," is the cap-
tion of one subject, but the doet>r
laughed when pressed for his opinion.
Plenty of Good Women for Wives.
"The m st important thing is to
find a wife." he said. " and it really
doesn't matter so very much who she
is Ninty-nine women out .4 hundred
are good, so there should be no great
difficulty for any young man to find
a wife good enough for him.
"As for breeding men as cattle are>
bred, that is all nonsense! It can't*
ue done, for we don't know what to
bred for. The shorthorn cattle and ^
the fat pigs and the fast horses are 1
bred for specific purposes, and the
minutes they are taken away from
the fostering care of men they revert
to their original type. They wer/

breed men like that, for wo don't

Formerly Republican politics ot
Wisconsin were directed, and states
men were made and unmale • tin
political bosses manipulating a per
looted political machine. The votes I
of delegates in political conventions!
were secretly or openly sold to the I
highest bidder. The offic er accept-1
dng a nomination was required, In ad-
ivnnce, to mortgage his official conduct
and conscience to the corporate ma- j
{chine of the state. Tiie politi i
bosses met with the corporation
lobbyists a week in advance of the j
session of the legis-
lature, and amid the clink of chain- ,
pagne glasses, determined who should
be elected speaker of the assembly
and who should fill the positions on j
the various committees When the
legislature met. this program went
through without a hitch. During this ,
period tiie ilepuhlican machine con-
trolled all the institutions of the state
with the exception of the courts. Up-
