expresses himself as fairly delighted with what
he has seen of our city from drive through

Mr.. Clarkson 1mpeaches the character Of his
fellow countrymen when he asserts that the
only way to make them take an interest in poll
tics is to 'let them consider that there IS not
only public but personal advantage to be
gained" meaning that they must have the
promise of Office before them. What is more
to the point, no doubt, in his case. he has done
much to destroy whatever prospects he may
have had of a higher and greater public

Edgar L. Wakeman VIII Explore Il Afoot
md Tell His Story In The Dispatch.


Mr.. Edgar L. Wakeman. author, journalist
and traveller, who for the past five years has
furnished the American press with some of the
most charming feature-service articles printed,
is certain to make his "Wakeman's Wander
ings" papers really famous In the highest litera-
ture of foreign travel and observe ton. His
work throughout is poetry in prose; and to read
after him is to travel beside him and see and
feel the splendor and sadness of old-world life
in marvellous comprehensiveness. He wanders
about on foot and alone, and paints with so
true hand that leading journals of the coun-
try begin to recognize that 'the mantle of Bay
ard Taylor has fallen upon him." In August
next he will leave the Mediterranean countries
where he is now travelling, and pass the re-
mainder of the year in Scotland, contributing
studies of Scottish life and people to his Ameri-
can syndicate. under the title Of "Afoot in
Scotland.'-The Journalist.
Mr.. Wakeman is well known to readers of
THE DISPATCH, who will undoubtedly look
forward to his letters from Scotland with keen
interest.
