wmmmmmmmmmm gether loyal stand. Mayor Thomp son raised our low paid; he has re newed his name; may his honor bright gain high esteem and may he rise to fame. Conductor Jerry O'Connor, North Avenue Barn. DAY BOOK IN HAWAII. Our party arrived in Honolulu very much in need of Chicago news. We found waiting us at the postoffice several copies of The Day Book and placed them in order. It did not take long to read every item in each issue and, believe me, nothing was more appre ciated. I met several newspaper men here and presented each with a copy. They were very much surprised and agree ably so at the frank, candid method employed by The Day Book in giving its readers the news. Lfeel very grateful to my Chicago friends for their thoughtfulness in sending me the book. Wishing you every success, I remain. Thomas J.

Wednesday's Tri bune and other papers print a story about the food served to the inmates of the county jail, and also comment on the pretty grafting practiced on the same people. Let me, as an ex- inmate, make a statement relative to the matter. The prisoners are fed coffee and bread, both for breakfast and sup per each day, except Monday and Wednesday, when a cup of soup is substituted for the coffee. At noon they receive a stew on Monday, Tues day and Wednesday; on Thursday sausage and peas; Friday, macaroni I and beans, Saturday, stew; Sunday, corned beef and cabbage. The noon meal is all right as far as quantity is concerned, but generally lacks quality. The bread is always stale and the coffee bitter and disgusting to the taste. It is probably made this way to force buying coffee from the storekeeper, who charges exorbitant prices for most things sold; for i&- HE IS RIGHT. The Single Tax ers were asked for their remedy and Mr. C. P. Hunt replied thus: "If all subsistence were gotten from the lake, access to the lake would give all jobs." He is right! And I'll show him "how." In his supposition all subsistence is derived from the lake. Here is the "job." I go to the lake, place my face in juxtaposition with it and fill the alimentary canal. I can't see, though, where a tax col lector, making funny marks on per fectly good paper, is necessary to give me "access" and "a job." I don't want "a job." I want the results of my work. But poor little, wee little capitalist! He don't want to pay rent Jle sees the surplus labor on the market. He feels that he has the making of a capitalist somewhere around him. He opens up his journal in true cap italist fashion and he makes an entry: "Capital stock, so much." He swells with pride ! He start to make another entry: "Rent" He counts his pile again, and, horrors! He can't make it! The rent is too high. He goes back to his library and to console himself gets out his history. "Eure ka!" He finds that the capitalist ped dlers of the fuedal ages fought suc cessfully against the land-holding barons withjhe aid of the released serfs. He mps up and makes a speech. He addresses both capital ist and laborer. He says: "That is what has been the matter with the world all the time rent!" He pro poses to the capitalist monopolist to take' all rent in the form of a Single 1 Tax, so that those who own land noJ l&M amMMA iaai
