"TllE STANDBY"
Deputy Attorney General Dolc's New
Novel

"Thc standby" novel with pur-
pose, aud thoroughly healthy book,
is the work Of Edmund y. Dole, the
Deputy Attorney General. That it is
the work of a lawyer there can be no
doubt. for it deals with a legal prob
lem which no layman would dare to
touch upon. Whether the interprcta-
tation Of the law, cited upon page 100,
has ever been sanctioned by any court
in the United tates the writer cannot
say. but in the book il is taken for
granted that it is irrefragable and the
only thing that defeats it is the action
of the members of the Grand Jury,
who perjure themselves and find mo
bill" This matter must be left to the
legal minds to unravel.
The books main object seems to be
that on either side of the prohibition
question good men can be arrayed,
but that the prohibition cause will
win. if the leaders on that side are
willing to sacrafce everything to their
cause. even to. their friends and those
they love. In outlining the characters
of Craigin and John Denmah, the
author has striven, as much as posi-
BILE, to portray men of exactly the
same mental calibre upon opposite
sides of the question. He is careful to
shew that they possess i Ike traits and
by many little artistic touches shews
that, in spite of their determined and
answering will, they can do the same
acts of gentleness and shew the same
capacity for loving. But the deterior-
ating effects of the liquor traffic will
warp noble nature and force it to
act on lines which the opponent will
not stoop to. Mr.. Dole has very little
sympathy with cranks and shews
how their efforts injure a good cause
The appendix, which has no word
of introduction as to why the para
graphs quoted are printed, yet tells
in great measure Mr. Dole's mental
attitude upon the question. These,
quotations shew that great minds
disagree, commencing with the Scrip
lures and ending with General Grant
And if they 40, so can Mr. Dole's
characters. 1t is one thing to think
matter out, and quite another thing
to bring it to logical conclusion.
The keynote of Craigin's character
is in his oath 9TH live and die doing
what l believe is right, cost what it
will, so help me, God!" He carries
this out and practically causes the
death of the father of the woman he
loves. Even before the catastrophe he
asks himself ''was it right" and to
that query there will be different re-
plies.
The book will find many admirers
on these islands, and is well worth
reading. whatever ones opinions upon
the prohibition question may be. IT
is manly and straig htforward and cal,
culated to do good.
The book is on sale here.

MENAcEs AMERICAN TRADE.
Member of the German Reichstag
Thinks Enrope should Comhinn

Member of the German Reichstag
Thinks Europe should Combine.
Berlin, Dec 9.-The naval bin passed its
first reading in the Reichstag today. The
Liberal party has declared its unanimous
support Of the measure, and it is hoped
by the friends Of the measure to secure
the support OF the Centrists.
In the course Of the debate on the com
mercial interests Of Germany in the budget
committee, Dr. Hammecher, National Lib-
eral, urged the necessity Of concluding a
union Of all the European continental pow
ers against the United States.
Replying to a question by Herr Basser-
mann, Count Posadowsky minister of the
interior, said that the government was
watching the efforts Of the Standard Oil
Company to monopolize the German trade,
and was aiding the competition against
foreigI, petroleum.
Count Posadowsky added that the Prns-
sian minister OF railways was also CON
sidering q reduction OF freight rates IN
Russian petroleum The question Of in
cretsing the customs duty on American
petroleum also demanded considera ton.
Tue government would, if necessary, r,i5h-
leSsly oppose abuses on the part of the
Standard Oil Company.
The Re!chstag, without a division, re-
ferred the naval bin 20 the budget COM
mittee. The indications are that the com
mittee viii eliminate the septennate clause
in which case the bin is likely to be
eventually passed triumphantly. There
is a manifest reaction in favor OF voting
the new ships, the opposition being
mainly confined to the septennate.
