Experience has demonstrated that
one of the best ways to advertise a
book is to question its morality. Con-
tinuing the crusade started by the re
lection of Macmonnies famous Bac-
chante, the Boston school committee
has rejected an illustrated edition of
Ovid which 1t was proposed to intro
duce as text book into the schools
because certain illustrations in the
book of NEUROLOGICAL characters We're
pictured in a state of partial nudity.
Their action has reused tornado Of
talk, and if experience repeats itself.
there will probably be brisk run on
the Illustrated copies of Ovid. People
who never heard of the Roman poet,
and certainly many who never read
him, will want to con him now, proyifl-
ed, of course, they can be furnished
with the much-talked-about edition.
When the hue and cry was raised
against LES Miserables" having q
place in the library of the
Girls High School of Phlladel-
phia, several years ago, almost
every girl proceeded to scour the public
libraries or muster up money sufficient
to buy the tabooed novel. Curiosity is
one of the most potent of human at
tributes. The records of the very first
family in Eden prove that.

AMERICAN WOMAN AoNoREo.


Mrs. sewall, President of the Inter.
national Council OF Women.
Mrs. May Wright Sewall, who has
been elected president of the Interna-
tional Council Of Women, which met
In London, is well fitted by education,
tastes and wide experience as a leader
of women along higher educational
lines for the important public position
with which she has been honored. For
several years Mrs. Sewall has been
president of the National Council Of
Women, and for great many years
her public work has been devoted al
most exclusively to the furtherance of
organization among women.
Mrs. Sewall was born in Wisconsin
and is graduate of Northwestern Uni
versity in the class of 1866. 1t was,
however, one Of her greatest griefs that
she could not enter Yale University as
her father had done, and 1t was said
that 1t was largely her sense Of injus-
tice in this matter that led her to identi-
~ herself with the woman suffrage
movement. After her graduation she
occupied important positions as q
teacher until her marriage with The0-
dore Sewall In 1880, when she and her
husband opened a classical school for
girls in Indianapolis, and she is still
head Of that school. Mrs. Sewall has
been abroad several times and has de-
voted considerable of her attention to
getting acquainted with the leading
women Of the old world. As president
Of the National Council she visited
Hamburg, by appointment with the
Empress Frederick, who gave her an
hours interview and was deeply inter
ested In the work she outlined. In
Brussels Mrs. sewall addressed the
Woman's League iof Belgium, and in
Paris she spoke In the Marie st. Sui
pice before large audience of leading

POLITICS AND PROMISES

When the Republican National Con-
vention at st. Louis constructed its
platform on which to make the Presi-
dental fight in 1896, 1t was engaged
in making promises. Among other
things 1t promised that Mckinley
would protect and expand the civil
service law, and Mckinley solemnly
asserted that he would keep the prom
Use made for him.
But after the Republican candidate
for President was elected the reign of
promises ended and the rule of politics
began. With due regard for timeliness,
the attack on civil service was left un-
til this year, when a hoard of new Of
flcials would do the most good, and
then civil service was joyously ripped
up the back by Mckinley. That was
politics and Senator Quay of Pennsyl-
vania is now reaping his share of the
benefit. The Pittsburg Post, in refer
ring to Quay's actions in regard to this
matter, says:
y 1T is an established fact that Quay
is now using offices put at his disposal
by McKlnley's spells order to further
his reelection to the Senate, and if any
man in the country knows better how
to do this than Matthew Stanley Quay
he is not visible to the naked eye.
1T is publicly advertised that the
stwenty-odd census supervisors just
agreed on were handed over to Penrose
and Quay to promote the latter's re-
election. Several thousand enumer-
sators are held in position of promise

attention and he was sent Mt the close
of the war to reorganize the Methodist
