AS Is the case with great majority Of
the books about the Boer war, this volume
has been In large part discounted by events
which have occurred since it's preparation.
The question Of which side will win, which
the author asks in addition to that as to
which ought to win, has been virtually an
sWered, yet his summary Of the case left
the Beers with a pronounced chance for
ultimate victory. The book is written in q
vein or earnest advocacy of the Boer cause
and contributes nothing that is new to the
general understanding of the campaign and
the historical facts leading to it.
ONE woMAN's LIFE; the steppings of Faith.
Edna Gray's Story. Revised Edition. Atlanta:
The Franklin Company.
Edna Gray is the nom de plume of Mrs.
Alice Walton, who Is now making this city
her home. Her book is autobiographical 1t
tells the story of great suffering and Of re-
lief through realization Of the benefits Of
religious faith. The story is of value apart
from Its doctrinal bearings, for it discloses
real struggle with adversely. such strug-
gle as teaches a great moral.
Auguste Faure. chief clerk to the President Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co. Balti-
more: The FHedenwald Company.
Mr.. Faure has been long in the railroad
with the people who ask for and receive
passes. and his observations have led him
to collate his ideas into lecture, now
given form In this volume. His conclusion Is
that passes are an evil calling for regula-
ton by law. He looks to an ideal state in
which all public officials shall travel with
mileage books redeemable at half rates at
the proper treasury, where clergymen and
others similarly deserving shall receive also
the benefit Of half rates, where the Presi-
dent shall travel in special train free on
all roads by virtue Of his high office, and
where no passes shall be given to politicians
for fear or favor The book is cleverly
written and displays keen sense of the
humor of the pass situation.
