them in way that will be more pleas
ing to those who agree with him that
trusts are forms Of robbery than to those
who are as yet but students of the prob
lem and wish for argument rather than
denunciation. His style and method may
be estimated from two quotations; the
first taken from Democracy and Trusts:
1T might be well for the old king to
consider few facts calmly and without
passion. Let him not lose his head. The
last king to do that was Charles l. His
main protection has been his secrecy and
his Internal hypocrisy. Let the people
once awaken to the full knowledge of
his crimes and he will be shattered as by
a stroke of lightning" The second is
from People and Property ''If any
citizen should catch a sneak thief in his
house making off with his coat he would
take him to the nearest police station
and there make his charge. He must
look to the law for the rest. This general
remark applies to the Standard Oil trus-
tees. It would seem that any honest citi-
zen would be justified in knocking one
down and dragging him to the nearest
police station. To begin with the presi-
dent would have a salutary effect upon
the others"
It will be seen that Mr. Jennings has
more of the stump speaker than the phil
osopher in his makeup. His addresses
do not lack what is called SNAP" and
will doubtless prove popular, but they
are of little value to earnest students of
the trust problem. published by The
Abbey Press, New York. Price 50 cents

The San Francisco call., 1901-12-29
BECAUSE of Conscience

One of the latest of the historical nov
els is Because of Conscience" by Amy
Z. Blanchard. 1t is called "a novel relat-
ing to the adventures of certain Hugue-
nots in old New York" 1t follows in the
main the adventures of a conventionaIly
charming heroine who turns Huguenot
while a very young girl in France aid
fees to America in the dress of boy, ac-
companied by Michele her old nurse
They are in search of the little heroine's
father. who had previously escaped from
his native France, being likewise a
Huguenot.
The book is full Of hairbreadth escapes
and fairly well sustained interest 1t is
stereotyped in plot and style. The heroine
has numerous persistent lovers, one Of
whom resorts to ingenious measures to
kidnap her. He is the bold, bad villain Of
the plot a Catholic Frenchman The
lover whom Alaine loves in return is the
stolid young Dutchman who rescues her
upon one occasion from the black-browed
and black-hearted Dupont
Poetic justice is generously distributed
when the young Dutchman rescues the
father of Alaine, making it highly ap-
propriate that she marry the rescuer. The
villain dies conveniently and those that
deserve it live happy ever after.
However, although the book is in no
wise original, it is brisk in narrative and
quick in dialogue. 1t runs very little to
description, but there are here and there
touches of picturing that give an attract
i've coloring to the whole. The scene
where Francois, the villain. and Yer
planck, the favorite lover fight in the

Annie Deane.

"Annie Deane," by A. F. Slade, is
novel out of the common. The story told
is of the struggles toward true re-
pentance for sin committed in youth by
a poor embittered, girl. Annie Deane
leads the thoughtless life of a child until
she finds that sin committed even in ig-
norance brings in its train consequences
which cannot be escaped When she is
little more than a child she is made to
see that the world considers her life a
ruined one. Relying on the promptings
of what is really a noble nature, she re-
fuses to accept the harsh verdict of the
world Deploring her sin, and yet seek
ing to hide it, she bravely takes up a
struggle for a material independence
which will allow her to atone for her
past by making it productive not of the
evil it promises, but of good to herself
and others. After years of work in a
menial capacity she lives to see herself
respected, and to know that the very
wrong which she committed she has
made work for ultimate good.
The book is a plea for a wider working
of the principles of Christianity in the
judgment of the world upon women who
err. In the character of Annie the author
has put forth a strong case in support of
the right of women to demand of the
world permission to win by right living
reversal of a judgment once passed upon
them. published by Brentano's, New
