The Forum for May is an excellent num-
Der. 1t has outgrown the Offices it has oc-
cupied since it was established, at 81 Fifth
avenue, N. Y, and on May will remove
to larger quarters at 253 Fifth avenue,

The advance demand for the May number
is the largest in the history of the maya
zine. The present number has several
articles which will attract wide attention.
One of them, Appropriations for Public
Works" by Senator Cullom, is particularly
notable. 1t is an analysis of the evils of
the present system of promoting public
works and suggestions of a remedy therefor
that Is as far from mere partisan discussion
as the interstate commerce law itself. The
broad consideration of such questions lies
entirely outside the routine duties of Sena-
torlal life and are of piece with the larger
work done by our public men in former
generations. The Forum Publishing Com
pany, 253 Fifth avenue, New York.
