H. PEREIRA MENDES WRITES A
REFORM BOOK ENTITLED
LOOKING AHEAD"
THE WORK OF AN EXTREMIST

MIR. Mendes Writes in Too Rose
COIOred Vetn-One Wishes,
However, That His Fantastic
Dream Might Come True-"WhO's
Who in America" a Compilation
of Biographical Sketches.
Looking Ahead by H. Pereira Mendes.
F. Tennyson Neely, New York For
sale by the st. Paul Book and Station
cry company.
This is a reform work and like most
books of its class is written by an ex-
tremist. The evils of today which he
would right and his dream of the happi,
ness of all nations are pictured in a too
vivid coloring.
While the work is not as mastery
production as those of Bellamy, there is
something suggestive of Looking Back
ward in Looking Ahead;' but, while
Bellamy's conception was really picture
of life over a century hence, this Look
ing Ahead is retrospective of the present
time, the time of its writing purporting
to be in the future.
Concerning the political aspect of our
many resolutions. There was no resolu-
tion. Spasmodic municipal revolutions
came and went, and were forgotten.
People did nothing. One of the cant ex-
pressions in politics indeed was, What
are you going to do about it?" becoming
a jeering proverb.'
The fearful condition of affairs which
will follow our present social and pc It'll
cal methods, he briefly sums up thus:
In Germany, crushing taxation; in
Russia, the black shadow of despotism
with dungeon, death and Siberia were
the baleful demons that haunted the
darkness In France it was far-reaching
conscription and, alas! corruption-moral,
military, civil, social. In Belgium there
were hordes of laborers and miners prone
to riot; in England cities were over
crowded with the unemployed, and want
was terrible
But after all these horrors, the last
chapter of the book tells of such ideal
conditions that one wishes the fantastical
dream might come true, and, as the
writer says, humanity wake as from
long dream of blood and tears and all
taste universal peace, brotherhood, hap
piness.

A Suggestion to Democrats


10 tho Editor o. the Ledger.
YoUNo's CREEK, Mo-, Aug. b.
Please allow me, through you, to
make a suggestion to fellow Demo-
crats, asking them to think, speak
and act thereon.
In addition to that part Of our
national platform practically agreed
upon let us declare In favor OF Q con-
stitutional amendment prohibiting
indirect taxes for national purposes
and enjoining in their stead uniform
direct taxes on all property now tax
able in any state, on all incomes de-
rived from salaries, commissions and
non-taxable bonds.
This would allow us billions for ex-
penses, but not a cent for tribute.
1t would put idle money into circu-
latiOn and idle lands into cultivation,
Il would make everyone in
terested In national economy in pro-
portion 10 ones holdings Or earnings
It would do away with that legal.
lied robbery which takes over q bill
lion dollars a year from our needy
citizens and gives it to our more in.
dependent ones.
II would relieve our government oI
the crimes OF selling indulgences and
of multiplying human miseries.
1t would strike the keynote IN
true Democraey's most glorious song
equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none"
Very Respectfully,

He handled the leading Issues Of the

that many Republicans were COM

selves as hearty supporters OF Demoo-
