Editorial Comment
Oar Departed Comrade
The voice so often raised in the defense of peace
and the tongue that has spoken a thousand times in defense
of the Socialist principles of government are still today And
the remains of a great man struck down by an assassin’s
bullet have been laid at rest in the city of Paris
Jean Leon Juares the foremost Socialist of France
and the greatest orator of his time has been for the last 25
years a very prominent citizen of his country He received
his degree in philosophy in 1881 and for some time was a
teacher in the University of Toulouse He was elected as a
Republican to the deputies in 1885 Became a Socialist in
1889 and four years later was elected to the deputies again
this time as a Socialist
Jean Juares has held the editorial position of several
Socialist papers And was the founder and editor at the time
of his death of 1 Humanite the leading Socialist daily of
Paris Through his organ he did much toward building up
and solidifying the Socialist movement in France
Before his assassination he had just returned from a
great anti war congress ar Brussels where he was one of the
foremost figures of that body of socialists And he would have
been the formost figure at the coming international Socialist
congress to be held soon in his beloved Paris But he will not
be there in person His influence will and will dominate that
gathering And it will' inspire the hearts of those gathered
to a deadly hatred of the dLtruction and violence of war-
Juares stood for peace His last act was in defense of peace
So therefore may the delegation of all civilized countries to
this International Socialist congress be so moved as to gener
ate a morality that shall banish war forever
¥Oar nT Darbaric
War today war War is barbaric War is devastat-
ing War is destructive War blights blasts and bankrupts
nations Yet Europe today is engaged in such a war The
young men the very flower of the different nations are spil-
ling their red blood to please the insatiable greed of crowned
heads of guilded thrones The gallant boys of the foremost
nations of Europe are pitted against each other and at the
command of yuppet rulers wantonly murder one another
h or decades the citizens of Europe have ceaselessly
toiled to pay the previous taxes levied upon them to fill war
chests of doddering rulers The common people to pay this
tax have borne a thousand miseries And when after travel-
ing over a road of pain suffering sacrafice and toil the
workers have produced sufficient revenue they must then
enffaf?e n the painful laborous struggle of murder in the
name of war to dissipate and destroy it They are ordered
to fly at each others throats under the guise of war in be-
half of the “father land” and the glory of God The pro-
ducers of this wealth are not given one word in saying how
it shall be spent Those who raised the corn or dug the coal
or wove the cloth or made the ships or moulded the iron or
gathered the grapes are not consulted The edict is published
The Czar emperor or king or president has ordered war
Now these same toiling careworn citizens who through perse-
cution these many years produced all this wealth will now
consume it in the barbarous devastating game of actually
murdering themselves at the command and at the delight of
the idle master class
Oh civilization! Thou art a travesity thou art ludicr-
ous And to our brothers across the waters let us whisper
‘ -h ellow workers Thou art strong Thy numbers are millions
Why are you ‘ taken in” by the despots’ game? Thou hast
knelt in the dust for centuties Thou hast been slaves so long
Laborers now arise Manifest thy virilty Then thrones shall
tottle and kings disappear And on the very ruins of these
empires you O workers may erect the great democracy of
Europe

that the children at any rate never
tire of It Try put-
ting a tablespoon-
ful of seasoned
popped kernels on
the top of a
cream soup — most
appropriate for a
corn Boup If a
utuiespoontul of whipped cream Is put
on first and the corn on top of that
It will not soak and become soggy
Popcorn makes a delicious cereal
which may be Berved for a supper
dish or breakfast Grind the popped
corn rather coarse and let stand in a
warm place before serving It Is also
a nice accompaniment with cheese at
the close of a dinner instead of crack-
ers Popcorn balls are a confection
liked by young and old If the sirup
which Is used is made of corn sirup
with a little molasseB and sugar they
will never be grainy and fall to pieces

LANDLORD IS NOT
AT ALLNECESSARY
Only in1 Rare Instances Man
’ 'Who Develops Land
STATE SHOULD GET INCOME
By PHILIP SNOWDEN M P
Are landlords necessary?
Certainly not!
What earthly good are they and
what useful purpose do they serve'?
If landlords made land If they de-
veloped or cultivated land which would
not be developed or cultivated unless
some Individual owned the land then
something might be said on behalf of
landlords
But the landlord aa landlord does
nothing of the sort
Perhaps we had better understand
tlearly what we mean by a landlord
A landlord Is a man who owns land
He Is that and nothing more Land
ownership Imposes no obligation what-
ever upon the owner to develop the
land to use the land to let the land
or to allow others to use the land If
the landlord supervises the administra-
tion of his estate if he spends money
upon its development he Is going be-
yond the legal obligations and duties
of a landowner
In discussing this question of the
need for landlords we must be careful
to distinguish between landowning and
land administration It is not neces-
sary for some Individual to own land
to Insure Its cultivation and develop-
ment The landlord Is only In very
rare instances the man who farms the
land or develops the land ' The land-
owner supplies the man who Is willing
to work the land with the raw mate-
rial The cultivator finds the capital
the labor the knowledge — and the land-
lord takes the rent
What Rant la
The rent of land Is not something the
landowner earns Economic rent Is the
difference between the return from
land wblcb can yield only Just enough
to keep the cultivator and therefore
can yield no rent and the return from
a plot of equal area but of better nat-
ural quality or sltuution and therefore
yielding more than a bare aubslstence
for the cultivator The difference is
economic rent The landlord takes that
difference Is it necessary to have a
man to take this economic rent which
on the basis of the income tax law Is
three times more than the cultivator’s
share? If there were no landlord to
take this rent would the fanner be un-
able to work the land? There are tens
of thousands of lund tenants in this
country who have never seen their
landlords There are thousands of
landowners who have never seen the
land they own and from which they
draw their rents The estates of the
large landowners are managed by
agents — that is they organise the rent
producing power of the estates If the
owner were to disappear for twenty
years the management of the estates
would go on In the same way The
farmers and users of urban sites wouM?
never miss him How can the land-
lord then be necessary for any useful
purpose? Ah but it Is urged in de-
fense of landlords there are landlords
who take a keen interest In their es-
tates and some of them spend large
sums In the development of them
That Is quite true But when they In-
terest themselves in the management
of their estates they are not acting as
landlords but as land estate managers
and they could do just the same as sal-
aried agents without ownership
Rent Receivers or Managers
To say that landlords are not neces-
sary Is not to say that land managers
are not necessary The man who can
organize land development in town qr
country so as to Increase its produc-
tivity and usefulness Is a valuable pub-
lic servant But I repeat it Is not
necessary for that man to own the land
and to take the rent to do that good
Some of our landlords own hundreds
of thousands of acres of land one or
two of them are lords over more than
a million These men are simply rent
receivers and nothing more They are
useless unnecessary and ought to he
abolished But the uselessness of the
landlord is seen if not BO glaringly
