You will hear from Lloyd
Oeorge before this campaign is
??ver. He starts off, "My sword
? in my hand." That means a
fcht that the "British Bulldog"
| "?ries will remember. He
ye, "I am for the people, for
ie nation against any party."
The already disturbed land
jvners of Great Britain have
Jeepless hours ahead. Lloyd
leorge's theory is, that those
tat HAVE should PAY. Those
tat the nation protects should
?y for protection. Lloyd
eorge, while practical dictator
' f England and of Europe, has
ept his real character to him?
elf. There waa bigger work
han developing Lloyd George's
adicalism.
Now you will get the ra
????;ism, the kind that fright
Mied Tory land and mine own
ers early in this century, the
'? Kind that will frighten them
. more before Lloyd George goes
back into the ground.
That earnest publication, THE
81NGLE TAX REVIEW. _ug
guests in the October number
that Lloyd George is a single
[taxer He is not that, not a
(man of one remedy, one idea,
?r of any settled "ism." But
he did say in 1903 at New
Castle:
"It is all very well to pro
duce bille for the housing of
the working classes. They will
never be effective until we
tackle the taxation of land
Talues."
He also said in Glasgow,
early in 1914:
"There is one deep, under
lying principle of all sound,
just, beneficent land laws in
every land?that land in all
Countries was created by Provi
i derise for the benefit of all
| those who dwell therein, and
Lthet any privileges, right-*, or
ijMtests attaching for the time
(being, whatever their origin may
he. to the ownership of Und
that are inconsistent with this
great purpose, ought, in the
Interests of the community, to
he ?ruthlessly overridden."
Lljyd George doesn't believe
tn single tax as preach ed by its
. specialists. He knows that
Suman selfishness and iti pas
sioft-^oji individual land owner
ship must be used In develop
?rne the earth. But he does
believe that this earth was in
tended for the fifteen hundred
million people that live on it, not
for a few with cunnin?/ that
enable? them to monopolizo that
earth and its wealth. Thor? I?
a REAL radical loose in Eng
land?a good' thing for the
world.
John D. Rockefeller, jr.,
praises Henry Ford, comparing
him with his father, "They are
^both self-made. Ford is a man
of fine spirit, earnestness, sin
< eerlty, simplicity."
The admiration is mutual.
Henry Ford told this writer he
considered Mr. Rockefeller's
Standard Oil Company the
finest, best-managed business
concern in the United States,
?nd Rockefeller, which means
nowadays John D. Rockefeller,
jr., the ideal American business
man.
At that time he showed the
writer a small eight-cylinder
engine to be used in an auto
mobile to sell at $260?which
then seemed impossible. He
expected to arrange so that
anybody could drive to a
'?Standard Oil station, take out
_Mis engine, pay $25 difference,
and put in a new one.
Rockefeller and Ford, admir
ing each other, recalls in the
realm of finance the admira
tion of Caesar for Alexander
Ford and Rockefeller are Caesar
and AlcMinilcr of modern
armies?those armies of little
dollars, numbering hundreds of
millions, that never cat or
sleep, always fight, always1
obey orders, and have little

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 21.?One
man cannot defeat eleven, not
even though that lone man be the
formidable Reds Barron, captain
and halfback of the widely-known
Golden Tornado. Therefore, th'
Navy won today's clash from
Georgia Tech, 13 to 0. It was
brilliantly played in spots, slov
enly played in others, and cleanly
at all times. Remarkable as it
may appear, not a single penalty
was inflicted by the oflk-ials. The
teams fought hard, but there was |
no roughness marking many
games of equal caliber.

On defense it was Barron who
usually got the blue-Jersey ed ? run

he hit a runner, that midshipman
stopped righi where he was. Oc

Tecli's Shifts lCiplode.
(???orgia Tech's famous shift plays
exploded with ? loud bang in the
very first period when opposed to
that terrific charging line of the
Middles. Only when Barron took
the ball did the Atilinta team gain
with any steadiness. He did not
need a shift lo assist him. At

-NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct.
21.?Evidence which has been
prepared for the Somerset county
grand jury will, it was reported
tonight, result in the indictment
and arrest on Tuesday of next
week, of m man and worn? ?
charged with the murder of Rec
tor Edward W. Hall end Mrs.
Eleanor R. Mills in the Golden
Rod arid of the Phillips farm
fivejA?ke ago.
VamW prediction is confidently
made by officials who have been
investigating the amazing double
mur*?r mystery.
I ? Women on Jury.
Defectives presented to the grand
Jury, which Included three women,
certain evidence which they declared
would stand In court as substantial
proof that the alleged guilty pan
hod planned and executed the bitter
crime. More evidence win. be pre
sented on Monday and action by the
Jury 1? expected on the following
day.
The three women who are sitting
on the grand Jury are Maud A. Gas
ton, of Somervllle: Agnes Banks, of
North Plalnfield, and Klliabeth Tay
lor, of Plalnfield.
Both the man and woman, to whom
the finger of suspicion now appears
to be pointed by the officiais In
charge, have frequently been men
tioned in the case. It is believed
that the motive of the woman will
he shown to have been a flaming
Jealousy, and the role of the man a
cowardly assistant to the crime for
pecuniary reward.
Strife It? Families.
Evidence Is rapidly leaking to the
public to the effect that discord and
bitterness had long existed in both
the Mills and Hall homes, due to the
unrestrained, only half concealed,
sensuous Intrigue of the flabby
natured clergyman and the erotic
haUf sick woman who yielded to hla
egotistic flattery and stupid middle
aged romanticism. Barbara Touch
a maid employed in the Hall house
hold, was qutssed for two hours to
day regarding the quarrels of the
rector and hia wealthy wife.
"We have a much stronger oaae
than the public haa been led to he
Heve," remarked Prosecutor Beak
mun. after the maid left the witneo?
room.
While the public has ben led to
believe that Jamea Mills, huahaiid of
the faithleas choir singer, had been
her dupe, the fact appears to be, ac
cording to the authorltiea. that
strained relations had existed In the
sexton's home, the wife admitting to
?Hsoointe? that her life with her hue
band Wim a lovele?* existent*?, while
the husband had frequently com
plained of the woman's conduct.
