"A SPOIL OF OFFICE."
Some time in 1892 Hamlin Garland
wrote a political novel, t entitled "A
Spoil of Office." . This 'treated of the
grange, the farmers' alliance and the
peoples party, and is especially Inter
esting to those who lived in Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska at -the time
when the alliance grew up. In a re
vised edition, published in 1897 by D.
Appleton & Co., New York, Mr. Gar
land says in the preface:
"The three great movements of the
American farmer, herein used as 'a
backgroundthe grange, the alliance
and the people's party seem to me to
be as legitimate subjects for fiction
as any war or crusade. They came
in impulses with mightiest enthus
iasms, they died out . like waves upon
the beach; but the power which orig
inated them did not die; it will return
in different forms again and again, so
long as the love of liberty , and the
hatred of injustice live in the hearts
of men and women."
The Independent believes that Mr.
Garland Is mistaken in believing that
the peoples' party died out "like waves

ley's "Farms for Every

ble and reliable.
upon the beach;" its Identity as a par
ty organization has been oversha
dowed by the democratic organization,
but, as he truly says," "the power
which originated it did not die," and
although the wildly enthusiastic stage
has' passed the populists may yet be
numbered up beyond the million
mark. The present co-operative move
ment, especially in marketing grain
and live stock, i3 simply another man
ifestation of the power which called
the grange and the alliance into be
ing. The "impulses of mightiest en-
thusiasm" have not yet been reached,
but they will be.
SINGLE TAX. .
The Director acknowledges receipt
of six neat little pamphlets on Che
single tax, from the Brooklyn Single
Tax league, whose notice appears
elsewhere under this department head. J
They are from the press of Frank
Vierth, Cedar Rapids, la,; and are
good specimens of the "art preserva
tive." :
The titles are: "A Single Tax View
of Trusts," by Louis F. Post, editor of
The Public, Chicago; "The Causes 0
Business Depressions," "Thy King
dom Come," "First Principles," and
"The Single Tax What It Is and Why
We Urge It," all from the pen of
Henry George; arid "Objections to the
Land Tax," by Thomas G. Shearman.'
In view of the fact, that our .issue of
May 14 will be tievoted exclusively to
the single "tax, The Director will not
at this time review these pamphletsJ
Members of the school can secure cop-
ies free of charge by, writing to the
league at 1647 Bedford ave., Brook
lyn, N. Y. -
"HOW TO TREAT THE TRUSTS
AND HOW TO WIN IN 1904." .
Hon. J. Haggerty, Titusville, Fla.;
has written a .book on the trust ques
tion bearing the above title. This
was reviewed in The independent some
time ago. Mr. Haggerty has issued it
in pamphlet form recently arid writes
The Director as follows:-
"Will make a gift . of 100 of the
enclosed for your School of Political
Economy, if you wish. J. Haggerty."
: - The , Director gladly accepts Mr,
Haggerty 's kind offer and will mail
th-3 pamphlet to members as long as
it lasts, as fast as the members are
enrolled. .The list of .trusts and their
capitalization Is alone a valuablo fea
ture of the book, and Mr. Haggerty 's
pronounced -Views on the necessity for
direct legislation: ,will be welcomed by j
an wno Deneve mat me majority

The Church and Politics
The line between things secular
and things religious is too sharply
drawn in these days. If a man is to
be truly religious, he must exercise
his power conscientiously in every
department of life. He must be loyal
and obedient to his highest impulses
in the discharge of his duties as a
citizen. He must do this if he would
be truly faithful to his church. It is
because men have created the artifi
cial line referred to that we have bad
laws, incompetent and corrupt admin
istration. The smaller the govern
mental division the more likely we
are to find evil conditions. Municipal
administration, as a rules, is the worst.
The interest in national elections is
always greater than in any other,
while the interest In municipal elec
tions is generally the least of all. " It
is because of this that we have usual
ly more incompetent administration In
municipal government than else
where. We must not be afraid of that word
HAIL INSURANCE I
The United Mutual Hail In- '
surance Association the' larg
est and most successful hail in
surance company in the state.
ALL LOSSES PAID PROMPTLY
AGENTS WANTED.
Insuring crops against los3 by
hall Is becoming more popular
every year. The United Mu
tual Hail Insurance Company
organized in 1899 is the largest,
best and most successful hail
insurance company doing busi
ness in the state. It pays all
losses promptly. Since Its or-
ganlzation it has written 9,066
policies of insurance aggregat- .
- lng $5,310,000 of risks. It has
paid 1,949 loss claims amount
ing to $147,315.10. The insur- :
ance has cost the policy holders
only one-half as much as old
line fire insurance companies
receive proportionate to jthe
amount of losses paid. No ona
raising crops can afford to take
the risk of losing his crops by
hail when he can get this pro
tection with thousands of the
best farmers of the state. Last
year the United Mutual carried
$1,740,694 insurance and paid
$27,710 in losses. They paid in
losses more than four times as .
much as the combined payments
of all other hail Insurance com
panies doing business in the
state.

politics. Do not consent to the ruin
on this word. The "boss system" is
not politics; it is a conspiracy against
politics. Politics is authoritatively de
fined as "the science of government."
We have no more right to call this
conspiracy against the freedom of the
people known as the "boss system"
politics than we have to call common,
stupid lying by the name of diplom
acy. The remedy for-bossism Is to
be found only In the hearty and intel
ligent co-operation of men of all par
