ter washington: James j. Chapman,
Mr. Smith, a young Washingtonian. has
sought to secure by means OF lipeFdi
treatment Of Hawthorne's great WORK d
satisfactory dramatiZation. His style is IA
yorabIe to such an enterprise. There are
several strongly dramatic episodes ana ell
makes. Resort is had, however, at times
To OVermelOdramatic expedientS TO produce
the vivid pictures. 1t is an interesting
study in transcription, whatever might
prove its actual value i'll a stage rendition.
IMPERIALISM AND LIBERTY. By Morrison J.
Swift. Los Angeles, Cal: The R"nhr1Se
Press.
1t is d sufficient commentary on this book
to say that its author believes the Presi-
dent of the United States to be thief, a
liar and a traitor. that the war with Spain
was a cold-biooded business inVestm
that the American civilization is a drunken
orgie of personal ambition, and that book
is entitled to the decency of covers if it is
made TO contain the latest vulgarisms Of
current language and to blaspheme without
limit.
