In the rush of things how easy it is to make a mistake, ‘And how easy it is to blame them for the mistakes, to speak @ sharp, cross word, adding to the already heavy burden. And how worth while it would be, and how easy, too, if we were to resolve to find_no fault, to speak no anger, to smilingly accept the little annoyances as an inevitable part of the Christ- mas worry and hurry. Let us be patient with the street car conductors, who are trying to please thousands of people, each with a different point of view. Let us give up the cheap, satirical, sneering word it is so easy to hurl when things go wrong. Let us remember that go wrong with other people as well as ourselves, that] ,aiq they get tired and bored and worried and out of sorts, too. Let us not hog the bargain counter and grab the best eg wer from more timid patrons, us remember the delivery boys who must thread their way through the darkness often until midnight, and save them as much as possible by taking with us the little packages that we can conveniently carry. It is so easy to say, “Oh, send it Bp to the house.” Let us practice the Christmas spirit, the “good will” im these little ways, and make the world indeed a “ mas” place this holiday season. o} psi Old Daredevil Bill Taft Some of our standpat editors and politicians are making quite a fuss over Daredevil Bill Taft. Taft the courageous—it's a worthy subject for editorials. Roosevelt and San Juan hill were overshadowed, it seems, and Hobson's exploit was as tame as a duck hunting trip, compared to the feats of Hig Bill at the silent battle of Los Ang Taft, it appears, had the matchless courage to order a federal in- a ., of the McNamara case when he passed through California. t of it? Why, that's a brave exploit. He had the courage to do It, you know. What's so brave about that? you ask. Why—why, they point out—these standpatters do—why, consider: fag that Taft was in politics and that the union men over the country ‘Were interested in the McNamara case-—it was an awfully brave thing do, you know, to order a federal probe. There's just one comment any one can make on Daredevil Bill's ‘exploit, and that's this: The announcement that Taft had started that federal probe was made AFTER the McNamaras pleaded guilty, not BEFORE. There ‘waan't a man in the country sticking up for the McNamaras when Taft proudly prociaimed “I did it!” ON THE billboards soon: “Coming, one hot municipal election.” oe ° e “LAUGH, and the world laughs with you.” Jaughs AT you. ° ° ° EVEN the convicts refuse to speak to the McNamaras, says a dis- ‘Course not—it's against prison rules. ° ° ° ‘THERE are many folks who like the City Beautiful plans, but are ‘@fraid that if adopted Seattle would be the city beautifully “done.” Pee WANTED—A man who can invent something stronger than “nll lg American trains when they frolic against each other in col irit, erry Weep, and the world ° o ° 1F YOU want to know the sentiment of the American people on Patt's succeeding himself, read in Poe's poem the remark of the raven.

Article No. 5 BY EDMUND NORTON ‘The greatest one book in ali the world telling about the single tax fs “PROGRESS AND POVERTY,” published in San Francisco, Califor mia, in 1879. ‘The greatest one thought in that book ts this “PRIVATE PROPERTY IN LAND MUST BE DE- STROYED.” The one marvelously simple means for doing that tremendous thing without harm to any one, without revolution, without any disturbance to the norma! development of society is: To simply leave to every individual af that he may make by working for himself, or co-operatively working with any or all of his fellow men, and then taking for societ it creates in its collect! the VALUE of BARE LAND, IMPROVEMENTS, ‘TIL TH OF ALL REN ASURIES > HE SOCI ETY THAT CREATES THESE VALI keynote to the spirit of Henry George's work 1s found words where he says, in “Progress and Poverty” Wh out on it (this inquiry) I had no theory to support, no . Only, when I realized the squalid misery of a city, it appalled and tormented me, and would not let me rest, thinking what caused it and how it might be cured.” Need we wonder that the world was astounded at these propos!- tions? The The old Roman senator, Cato, at the out: “Delende est Carthago” (Carthage must be destroyed) took it up till it became n battle cry that struck terror into the hearts of the Carthageniags to their final destruction. ‘The entrance into the world of Henry George's dictum, with its simple remedy, struck mortal terror into the heart of every sinister {influence that is born of the evil he assailed. For one claas of men to exact tribute for the use of, or to sell, the bounty which God has freely given to all of His children, is an impious act and doomed. Nothing but a physical cataclyam or a violent revolution can avert the doom or retard its coming. Every nation that persisted in this basic injus- tice has been overtaken by the retribution that always follows the infraction of a natural law—be it persona! or social, Cato lived before Christ, when the ethical standards and moral code were different from now. His cry was a cry of bate—malice, envy and jealousy were its attendants and destruction was its motto Henry George lived after Christ. ‘early twenty-five centuries since Cato’s time, we live in an age whose spiritual aspirations and ual grasp of things is advanced beyond calculation. Into this ‘age came Henry George's philosophy—a philosophy of love, with peace, plenty and brotherhood attendant, and construction as its motto. In these examples we have the two opposing poles of human thought—one progressive and constructive; the other—obstructive anc destroying. Henry George’s books have been translated, probably, into more languages than any other books of modern times, and there has de veloped all over the earth a great following of splendid men and| women who are rapidly becoming known as belonging to the “Georg ean Schoo! of Sociology.” The ignorant sometimes call them social iets or anarchists; but they are really neither. Anarchy proposes > ultimate elimination of coercive government; socialism propos the perfecting of coercive government Ul! {it takes fn nearly every. thing. Anarchy is an indefinite, impractical and tmpossible abstra tion ism is a partisan, sectarian movement promising a perf state of society made out of imperfect people. These tendencies of social thought deserve the same kind of attention, study and analysis that any other social phenomena require mt the hand of the student of sociology; no more, no less. They may be classed with toryism, radicalism, republicanism, “Big D" democracy, or progressive and reactionary movements—purely partisan, sectarian movements in} the general social flux. This is true of all I have mentioned except| anarchy, which, having nothing but a nebulous philosophy that denies organization, possesses no orderly process of growth but @ propaganda of desultory negations, OLOGY, however, is the science of society, and the GEORG.
