ANTI-LYNCHnNG LEGISLATION.

One or two papers which omit no oppor-
tunity to attack Governor Mount treat the
defeat of the anti-Iynching bill in the House
as "a slap at him. 1t was nothing of the
kind. 1t was simply an honest expression
of the House. after intelligent discussion, as
to the efficacy or advisa bility of the meas
ure. Governor Mount deserves much credit
for having had the bill prepared, as he does
for previous efforts to bring lynchers to
justice. No other Governor of Indiana has
shown much determination or put forth
as much executive energy in this direction
as has Governor Mount, and the people
honor him for it. If his efforts have failed
it has been due to causes which he could
not control or reach, and, having demon
strated the difficulty of bringing lynchers
to justice under existing laws it is quite
natural that he should seek a remedy for
the evil in some other direction, either in
the way of prevention or punishment. His
persistence on this line is as creditable to
him as were his energetic though unsuc-
cessful efforts to discover and punish the
lynchers in Ripley and Scott counties 1t
must be presumed that the Legislature is
as anxious to put a stop to this peculiar
form Of crime as is the Governor, and if
they differ in regard to the expediency of a
particular measure it is because the condi-
tons are so peculiar and so difficult to deal
with that differences of opinion are I'M
avoidable. Opinions may differ not only as
to any particular measure but as to the
efficacy of any legislation on the subject.
1t should be borne in mind, however that
there has been a very general expression
throughout the State in favor of it, and if
the Legislature can agree on a measure
that might be effective in suppressing or
restricting the crime public sentiment
would undoubtedly approve of it's passage.
There is no force in the suggestion that the
presence on our statute books of a law
against lynching would be discredtable to
the State. 1t would be no more so than
laws against murder or horse stealing. The
real question is whether any legislation on
the subject can reach the evil or strengthen
existing laws If there is a possibility of
doing this the Legislature should give the
people the benefit of the doubt and enact a
law. If it should do no good it could not
do any harm.

AngIo-saxon Superiority.

The full title of this work is "Anglo-Saxon
Superiority: To What 1t Is Due" and it is
a remarkable work in its authorship, scope
and treatment. 1t deals with the causes of
the superiority of the English-speaking
peoples. One would naturally expect such
a work to have been written by an En-
glishman or an American, but the author,
Edward Demolius, is Frenchman, writer
of high repute, and the work is written
entirely from a French point of view. 1t
is perfectly frank and very able attempt
to analyze and point out the sources and
causes of the race dominance of the En-
glish-speakng peoples. In his preface the
author says: I'm this work, by the appiica-
ton of the methods of social analysis de-
vised by LIE Play and completed by De
Tourvile, I seek to carefully isolate and
exclusively consider the phenomena which
appear to be derived from AnglO-Saxon
influence, because these phenomena alone
insure for England and the United States
their social originality and superiority.
Above ALL / endeaVor to make a clear dis
tinction between these phenomena and the
customs and institutions peculiar to the
Celts and Normans." Keeping this idea in
philosophical, social and historical point of
view, and draws his conclusions with alb
sOlute fearleSsness. 1t is surprising to read
from a distinguished Frenchman that THAT
which distinguishes England and sets her
apart from Continental nations, and decid
edly accounts for her social superiority at
the present time is the fact that she has
gradually succeeded in freeing herself from
the Celtic and Norman influences In other
words, that she has eliminated and lived
down the influences of the FrenchNorman
invasion. she has been able to accom-
plish this acknowledgment, says the au-
thor, thanks to the preponderance which
the Anglo-Saxon element has gradually as
sumed over the other two-a preponderance
whose progress no human force can now
STOP" The work is divided into three
parts, part first treating OF THE French
man and the Anglo-SaXon at School, part
second of THE Frenchman and the Anglo
Saxon in Private Life and part third of
THE Frenchman and the Anglo-SaXon in
Public Life" In each of these stages and
spheres Of life the author finds fundamental
causes of Anglo-SaXon superiority. Such a
work could hardly be popular in France,
yet it has been very widely read and has
reached a tenth edition, A leading French
critic says: at is an infinitely powerful
F1ook; but we must swallow the bitter cup
to the dregs." So powerful and pitiless a
book could hardly fail to produce a sensa-
ton in France, and it can be read with
equal interest and instruction by all stu
dents of chronological and sociological prob
lens. 1t has for a frontispiece map illus

This is comedy in four acts by John
Oliver Hobbies. 1t is not exactly comedy
of errors, but it is a comedy of love affairs
in fact love story in the form of play.
The authors conception of what a play
should be may be partly inferred from a
statement in the preface to this one: wit
philosophy, moral truths poetic language
all these count as nothing unless there is
feeling of an obvious ordinary kind. Great
passions and the enormous are, on the
other hand. beyond spectacular representa-
ton. Love is probably the sole great pas
sion which an audience of average men and
women can endure for more than one act
and to a tragic issue. The theatre is a place
of relaxation. When a ma jority of pleasure
beyond question a play THE Ambas-
sador'' is light enough to suit the most ex
acting demand for lightness, and there is
enough love in it to fill the bill in that re-
spect. 1t should be added that there is plot
enough to give interest to the play though
it develops slowly, and the characters talk
and act like real people. 1t would be diff
cult to tell the story in brief space. Suffice
IT that the heroine a charming and attrac-
tive girl, has character enough to break one
engag cement with a rich nobleman when she
finds she does not love him, and is rewarded
by captivating another, the ambassador
who though not so rich, wins her heart.
The people in the play are all worldly
character. The play has no special merit
but IL is readable and has been acted in
England. New York: Frederick A. Stokes

Rural RHYMES.

The above title is given to a volume of
verses by S. b. McManus, a writer well
known in northern Indiana through his con-
tributions to the local press. A number of
his productions have also appeared in the
Journal Mr.. McManus attempts no lofty
flights, but sings of the familiar things of
home and country life, the flowers, the
woods, the fields. the harvest, the birds
and expresses his enjoyment of nature as
he gets close to it on the farm. Outside of
these topics and their kind his theme is
childhood. He loves and sympathizses with
children and speaks his heart frankly and
freely He is not at his best in his dialect
rhymes, this form Of expression being safe
in the hands of the elect few, but some of
them, nevertheless, convey very clear pic
lures of rural scenes. OF the more serious
and dignified poems, "A Summer Night,
THE Robin Pilgrim" and Grandmother S
Barometer perhaps the best To the
robin he sings:
THE clover sleeps sullen, death-like
sleep;
The ragWeed stands a beggar on the plain;
The daisies tryst with summer idyls keep
Beneath the drifted snow and angry sleet
and rain.
All wait for thee, 0 Bird, to rouse them
from their sleep,
Remember. then, the tryst which they so
faithful keep"

SundO,yn Lennre.

Mr. Frederick Remington seems to find as
good subjects in the West for his pen as he
does for his pencil and brush. Shutdown Le-
fare just issued by Harper & Brothers,
consists of five of Mr. Remingtons SUPPOSE
ttious interviews with half-breed scout. The
stories are written as cleverly as the illus
trations are drawn. The character of Sun
down Leflare" is one that has not before
been treated as Mr.. Remington has handled
his subject. The stories of the Great Medi-
cine Horse and of How Order No. 6 went
Through are wonderfully we'll told. The
latter is a tale of how Shutdown" was al
most starved and frozen to death in carry
ing an order between two frontier posts. 1t
abounds in most picturesque profanity and
includes a very realistic description of
''Sundowns" deirium, as told by himself,
when all the Indians seemed to come down
from the sky and try to fight him. And Mr..
Remington has hit upon new idea in hav-
ing his scout tell one of his love affairs. 1t
is a very odd love story, and old Leflare
tells it in a very odd way. The stories are
all worth reading, and as the pictures are
all by Remington, of course they are worth
seeing.

short essays on music and art in general,

them He talks about ''Impressionism" in
music, Habit in music Music and the
