A SHORT TALK TO DEMOCRATS It Is very Important that every Democrat In Union county who will be entitled to vote on November 7th should be registered. This election is one of the most important In the history of the United States. It is important to re-elect Wood row Wil son to the Presidency of the United tates; It is important that we should gie T. W. Bickett, a native son of Union county, a great big majority for Governor; it is Important that we should give L. I). Robinson, our can didate lor Representative In Con-gre.-s from the 7th district, u great big Democratic majority, because there are several counties in this con gressional district tiiat nre going to give Republican majorities for Mr. Robinson's opponent. It is very im portant, too, at every general elec tion that every Democratic voter should go to the polls, because the number of votes cast for the Demo cratic candidate for Governor fixes the number of votes that the Demo cracy of Union county shall have in the State Convention. At present we have only about 12 votes in the State Democratic Convention, while It every Democratic voter in the county would cast It is vote In the coming election, we would have about 24 votes In the State conventions and the Democracy of Union county would have Its proper place and In fluence in State policies and govern ment; and, of course, we want to give our County Ticket a big ma jority over the Republican vote. Registration books will be opened in every precinct on next Sarurdry. October 7th. at 9 o'clock a. m. and, kept open every day (Sundays except ed) from 9 a. m. till sunset, until sunset on Saturday, Oct. 2Rth. If you are not reglstred you ran not vote. Let every Democratic vot er, not already registered, bp sure to get his name on the Registration books. Young men who will become 21 before the last day of registration should get their names on the regis tration books; but any young man who will become 21 In the period filter October 28th until November Sth (the day after election) may register and vote on the day or elec tion. Remember the registration days: October 7th to October 28th, every day except Sundays. J. C. M. VANS'. Chm. County Dem. Ex. Comm.

Correspondence of The Journal. It is said that every sin U a pro duct of law. Whether this state ment is overdraws or not depends up on the view point of the one analys ing it. and if we should decide that there are some exceptions we would stII be forced to admit that enough sin is produced by law to Justify a rigid arrangement of the present sys tem of unholy statutes with which we are afflicted.. We might look at the law govern ing the private ownership of land and if we look at it rightly we would mighty soon conclude that there was ery little. If any. further evidence needed to confirm the whole broad statement. Mr. Clarence Darrow. the world famed legal defender of the people rights as against the oppressions in flicted by monopolistic money lords and land grabbers, said in a speech at Los Angeles some time ago: "The world does not want fundamental re form." Continuing he said, "the theories expressed by the advocates of single tax were too simple, too easy of application, too sane, and too direct for the tricksters of our time." They want matters complicated. They want laws so jumbled as to put them out of reach of the common people, so they cannot tell just how or w here they are being robbed. This statement needs no evidence, more than the assertion, to prove it since we know that lawyers do not them selves understand the law. As proof of this we find supreme court judges often, or nearly always rendering two opinions. A majority and a mi nority repoit on questions coming be fore them for final (settlement. If they understood the law why could they not agreee? liut, back to the land laws. It is probably not generally thought that the United States needs reform along this line almost as much as does Mex ico. Yet it Is a fact that she. does. In the May-June number of the Single Tax Review, published in New York. Mr. W. B. Northrop shows that the railroads of this country own no less than two hundred million acres or 312,!i00 bquare miles of land. This is about equal In area to all the New England States and enough over to include North and South Carolina. It would make a plantation 559 miles square and would be rather more than one family could use very well. It would provide homes of one hun dred acres each for two million fami lies, or ten per cent of the entire population of this country. But there are other land monopo lists than the railroads. One half of ihe state of Florida Is owned by 182 men, whose combined holdings amounts to 16.9D0.0O0 acres or 26,- 517 square miles. This would make mother plantation a little more than 1C3 miles square and would furnish homes for 109,900 families, and give each of them all the land they could cultivate and plenty over for wood land and pasture. But why prolong this list of land monopolists? There Is more of them of course but they nre all alike and are nil doing the same iniquitous thing, namely, holding land out of use and causing suffering. Nature works ages making a coal bed for the use of the earths In habitants, but just before these In habitants come to need this provision of nature (coal) some ground hog corners on It and robs the people of its benefits by appropriating said benefit to himself. The result Is the rich coal baron and poverty stricken citizens. And this kind of game. mind you, is sanctioned by law, and s said to deserve our hearty endorse ment. No wonder men and women are losing respect for such procedure. The screws are beginning to pinch so severely that all except the hopeless ly Ignorant are turning their atten tion to them in a frowning mood and things are looking squally.. Work ing men have been driven further and further out into the desert until there is no room, even there. And the reason for no room is not because God failed to make the house (world ) large enough but because greed has taken all the house to itself. The working man moves out in the suburbs where the car service Is poor, and where living condition are un desirable and pays $10.00 a month rent lor a cottage In which to live and works. He is poor because he is a working man. If he was not a working man he would not be poor. And if he was not poor he would not be a working man. Every one who works is poor and all, or nearly all, poor persons work. Usually the hard er one works the poorer he is. You can't get rich by working for It. Well this working man, as we said, goes out in the suburbs and rents his cottage and along comes a bunch of practicle reformers who lay out a park, improve the car service and the rent goe3 up to 120 a month. Then the working man goes still further out, where the car service is poorer, for the right to live and keep on working- He can't afford to pay the speculative rent on the wealth his in dui'try creates, so he must leave It for others to enjoy and go still fur ther out. In other words, progress pushes him further Into poverty, and the benefits that should come to him by his thrift are denied him because the monopolist of natural resources must levy tribute on hliu to support his own extravagances and keep his already corpulent bank account grow ing. And this Is said to be In ac cordance with moral! ?) law. Where did we get the Idea? When we learn that the land be longs to all of us, and to each on ly so much as he can use, then we will be free men no need for labor unions then; no need to pass laws to keep men and women from working themselves to death; no need to legis late against the white slave traffic When it pays to behave, men and women will behave. They'll do it be cause thy want to. There will be no class distinction In that time, no aw ful poverty and no awful wealth. Novus Homo. JOURNAL ONE CENTA WORD FOK SALE REAL ESTATE.
