sophical and religious limitations. The
real conclusion of this book is-if there
is conclusion at all-the illuSory char
acter of all religions and the unspeak-
able folly of humanity which clings TO
them, even when il has recognized their
untenableneSS. In fact, Flaubert was
too absolutely pagan to succeed in this
realm. No class of men was more in
capable of rising to an independent
scientific study of religious phenomena
than the set to which he belonged. His
friends were Maxine du Camp. Theo-
phile Gautier and Tourgueneff. He was
also the uncle OF Guy de Maupassant.
No one but great writer could ever
have written Mime. Bovary." and that
is the book whereby he will be best
remembered. His other works have
the misfortune of following his great
masterpiece, and in comparison with it
they stand in striking inferiOrity. They
have already lost their interest for
French readers, but this first novel
stands and will long stand as liter
airy landmark in French letters. 1t
exercised considerable influence upon
the subsequent literary activity of
France. 1t became the breviary of the
naturalists and model for their works.

ticism. from which he kept the I'M

People are not listening and they viii not

Its next logical move is to undertake

Tribune has told us that the Dingley
Dill was robber measure, which gath

years ago there was no use in talking
silver because sensible people know
how useless it is The Democrats
were warned against the venal press,
the questionable methods of the fat
fryeIs, the enormous corruption fund
at Hanna's disposal, but they went into
the convention and held their own;
they went into the campaign and polled

POOR PORTO RICO.

We felt sufficient interest in the
people of the West Indies a year ago
to organize and equip an army at great
expense to set them free. After brief
struggle this nation succeeded. But
the people of Cuba and Porto Rico had
been despoiled by wars, official corrup-
ton and exhorbitant taxation They
had not recovered from the devastating
effects of Spanish oppression when a
heavy storm swept portions of the
islands last winter, destroying crops
and dwellings. Before they had time
to rebuild and replant. another storm,
a veritable cyclone of the sea, scattered
whole towns in the furious winds that
ragged. Hundreds of people were killed,
thousands rendered homeless, and al
most the whole island left too poor to
take care of the sufferers.
We are under greater obligations
than ever to relieve distress in the
West Indies. There is no other govern
ment so near the people of Cuba and
Porto Rico. Several carloads of sup
plies have already been furnished by
eastern philanthropists. But more is
needed. The secretary of war has ap-
pealed to the governors of the several
states. Governor Wells has received
such request In a card to the people
of Utah, printed in another part OF
this paper. he asks for help for these
people. A generous response should be

INTERSTATE LITIGATION.

A decision has just been rendered in
the United States district court of ap-
peals for the ninth circuit that note
executed in a state where the contract
is usurious, but made payable in an
other state under whose laws it is not
usurious, is a binding contract upon
the maker, as the laws of the state of
performance govern as to questions of
usury.
A few years ago a law was passed
in Idaho designating usury in interest
contracts and authorizing a forfeiture
when such agreements were sued upon
in state courts. This was construed to
operate against note-holders in other
states where the rate eXacted was per-
mitted under the law. This decision
seems to present the matter in an
other light. The court held further
that the plaintiff is not required to
allege or prove that the note was made
payable in another state for convent
ence merely, and not to evade the law
of usury, and that federal court is in
nowise bound by the decisions of the
supreme court of a state in passing
upon interstate litigation.

WHEN MY SHIP COMES IN.

| Robert J. Burdette in Pittsburg News.)
| Somewhere. out on the blue seas sailing,
Where the winds dance and spin;
Beyond the reach of my eager hailing,
over the breakers din;
Out where the dark storm clouds are lift
ing,
Out where the binding fog is drifting,
Out where the treacherous sand is shift
ing
My snip is coming in.
oh, have watched till my eyes are ach-
Day after weary day:
Oh, have hoped till my heart was break
ing
Could 1 but know where the winds had
Could / but know where the winds had
out in the twilight gray
But though the storms her course have
altered,
Surely the port she'll win;
Never my faith in my ship has faltered,
know she is coming in.
For through the restless ways of her
Through the mad rush of the wild waves
Through the white crest of the pillows
combinS.
My ship is coming IN
Breasting the tides where the gulls are
flying.
Swiftly she's coming in;
Shadows and deeps and rocks denying,
Bravely she's coming in;
Precious the love She will bring 10 piess
Snowy the arms she will bring to caress
me, Ill,
In the proud purple of kings she Will
dress me,
When my ship comes in.
While in the sunshine her sails will be
cleaning,
See where my ship comes in;
AT masthead and peak her colors stream
ing
Proudly she's sailing in;
cheering, .z.
Music will welcome her glad appearing,
And my heart will sing at her stateIy
nearing.
Nv ship is coming in.

TRUSTS PUT UP PRICES.

Shoe manufacturers will be compelled
to put up the price of shoes. The
leather manufacturers have formed a
trust, and, following up the aim and
purpose of such combinations, they
have raised the price of leather.
This raise Will not affect the price of
shoes worn by people Of wealth so
much as it will increase the price of
shoes worn by wage-earners and COM
mon people. In expensive footwear the
cost of leather is a small item COM
pared with the workmanship, the hand
sewing, the fancy stitches, the cloth.
the lining and the finish But the great
bulk of shoes worn in this country are
bought by laboring people on the farms,
Al the mines and shops, in the offices
and stores of the cities, and everywhere
that men and women are obliged to
work for a living.
There are two courses open to shoe
manufacturers: One is to put up the
price and the other is TO use a cheaper
quality of leather. Some will do one.
some the other, and some will no doubt
do both. In any event the consumer,
who buys leather mainly when he buys
shoes, Will have to contribute to the
requirements of the trust
Some trust champions deny that their
clients would add a cent to the burden
of the laboring man. But the Chicago
Tribune, a Republican newspaper, but
not paid attorney for protected COM
binations of capital, says: The pros
pectuses of trusts announce always
that they are being organized to cheap
en- production and lower prices. When
ever one OF these industrial combines
can show that it has kept those prom
ises it viii be entitled to a certificate
of good character. but where is the
trust which is entitled to such a GER
tifcate?''

XIII. FLAUBERT.

Gustave Flaubert was born in Rouen
in 1921. His father was a renowned
physician of that city. who wrote many
valuable treatises on medical science. II
Is not unlikely that Gustave was
brought up in a home in which the
materialism of the eighteenth century
still survived, sustained by great in
terest in physiological studies. 1t is
quite natural that he should have
shared the opinions of the liberals who,
at that time, were hoping to explain
all psychological phenomena upon a
physical basis. He at least derived from
his association with scientific minds
that spirit OF conscientious research
which he exhibited through his life
time. his longing for facts, his love for
hrst-hand knowledge, controlled in the
most scientific manner. Philosophy, the
philosophy which of late has unremit-
tingly assailed materialism was not yet
dreamed of, and that which existed at
a time when it might have influenced
this man had been silenced by Napo-
leon III after the coup d'etat.

when the American people have an
opportunity to throw them out. 1t
never was the intention of this gov
eminent to set up a ruler, civil or

volunteers for a service other than
that for which they enlisted, establish
censorships to deceive the public and

That's it. Bonds. bonds, always

Kinley's procrastination in the war

object in all this dillydallying in the

year ago? Or is it?

GOlOBUG BATTLE CRY.

BY degrees our morning contempo-
rary has worked itself up TO the point
of declaring that silver isn't an issue at
all. Within year it has told its read
ers that the silver fight could not and
would not be abandoned: at a little
artificial prosperity shouldn I cause sill
yer advocates to relax in their efforts
to obtain free coinage; that the only
way to win is to keep UP the fight
through good weather and bad. and
that conservative people who looked
upon bimetallism as craze in 1896
have been espousing the cause ever
since.
One day last spring a sudden change
came over the Tribune's policy. 1t dis
covered that the buxom lass it had
been sitting up with for many a night
was a corpse. It's widely known editor
.'made some remarks which were COM
piled into a story" he expressed himself
as having no further interest in Bryan
or bimetallism, unless Europe should
condescend TO open our minis to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver; ne de-
elared that silver had been eliminated
from the living issues of the day, al
though he failed to reveal the process
Of elimination; he turned his back on
Bryan at the same time and referred to
him contemptuously as one whose
abilities had been overestimated. and
whose influence had waned. At the
same time the Tribune declared that
at is useless to make another stand for
silver in this country until conditions
change
This transformation took place in a
night. Since then the Tribune has been
diligently looking for explanations and
excuses for having abandoned a prin-
ciple that it had championed for many
years. or. to use its own expression,
