uCnu.es and consequences,

Causes and Consequences, by John
Jay Chapman, is an outspoken expression
of opinions on American political life, in
the form of five essays. The titles of
these papers are Politics. Society"
Education" Democracy" and Govern
ment.'
Mr.. Chapman says that his book grew
out of an attempt to explain an cleo
ton, and it is quite evident that the pa
pers were written with a view to present
use and to the needs of the moment. This
fact will probably prevent the book having
a very long life, as the need for 1t will
pass with the phase which it treats; but
1t is worth reading as a candid and
thoughtful view of the conditions of the
present day.
The most important of the essays, per-
haps. may be said to be that on Poll
tics" and 1t exemplifies as well as any
the authors idea of the conditions pre-
vailing in our body polite. He begins
his work with the statement that mis-
government in the United States is an In
cident in the history of commerce, and
a part of the triumph of industrial prog
ress. He, therefore. studies 1t from
the commercial instead of the theoretical
point of view, and points out the way
in which great corporations and CONNER
cial syndicates influence and finally con-
troll government. He takes as an exam
pie of this the conditions in a small
town. whose prosperity depends largely
ON the railroad. He shows how the rail-
road naturally secures the cooperation
of the law by employing as attorney the
| ahlest lawyer In the place; how it Sc
| cures through this man, the cooperation
| of whichever party chances to be in pow

And so eventuate after all

And by some never passion fired,
Upsets the applicant;
Or Edwin. who had seemed 4 saint,
To swell the general sadness
Developes an ancestral taint
OF drunkenness or madness.
Or worse in this outspoken age

Exhaling from each grewsome page

Where Bills and 'Arriets nag and shout,
Or deal in matters istic.
And furious oaths are strewn about
To make il realistic.
Then, since know that life itself
Has grimness and TO spare,

And find my solace there;
Or in the lists with lvanhoe

Autumn.

Now gently falls the fading light,
The autumn's sunset veil.
While dusky grows the wayering flight
OF whippoorwill and quail.
The grain is bound, the nuts are brown
On every wooded hill;
The light is soitened on the down,
And silvered on the riil.
The partridge drums; the plover's call
Sa,utes the sportsman's ear,
And Just above the waterfall
The fisher sets his weir.
The reddened leaves. with withered wings,
Sweep lightly to the sod:
The autumn walks the land and sings,
With rustling sandals shod.
