This small volume presents crlt1que OF
Moliere as playwright and actor, beginning
with his "PEtourdi,' comedy of in
trigue i'll the Italian style, which appeared
in 1865 and which Victor Hugo declared
to be the best OF all his comedies. AIoliere
led a checkered career in the enjoyment
Of popular favor one hour and suffering
popular disapproval the next. No critic
Of his own time was more incisive or
effective, none exposed the folies of his
own day and tore the mask from hy-
pocricy more completely. "Tartuffe,' one
of his most famous productions. carried
moral courage to the point of sublinity.
Two kinds of enemies were aroused, men
who make cloak of religion to hide their
true nature and those who themselves sin
cere and worthy held the view that re-
ligion should never be involved in a jest,
even when the jest was directed towards
spurious devotionalists. The long strug-
gle over the Introduction of this play lasted
five years, after which it was given the
freedom of the public stage. The book
contains a personal description of Moliere,
tells something of his habits of life, liter
airy methods, and family history up to the
time of his sudden and tragic DEATH which
overlook him in the irnpersonation Of one
OF the characters OF one of his own plays.

OHIO AND HER WESTERN RESERVE By
Alfred Mathews. New York D. Appleton
& Co.
The admission of Ohio as a state in the
union was an occasion for considerable po-
l1t1cal controversy in congress. The fed
| eralist legislative enactment, making the
eastern boundary Of the state the bounda-
ries of Pennsylvania and Virginia along
the Ohio and the western on the Scioto
and the line drawn from it's intersection
with an Indian boundary line northwest
erly 0 the west corner Of the Connecticut
reserve. was presented in congress Jan.
TO-, 1902. These boundaries would have
made Ohio about half the size Of it's pres
ent dimensions. heated political cam
paign followed between the federalists
and. the republicans or Jeffersonians,
which finally resulted in the passage of
the enabling act, April 80, 1902. Under
that act a constitutional convention was
held, and on Feb. 10, 1903, congress passed
an act for the execution Of the laws of the
United States within the state of Ohio
This, is the nearest approach to an act Of
admission taken with respect to that state.
The legislature first assembled on March /,
1903, and the Ohio Historical Society off,
ciallyy declared that day, to be the proper
one of the states origin, SO the existence
OF the state is counted from that day.
This book, however, begins Its story much
earlier than that 1t recites the facts
incident to the establishment of the West

ence of that colonization upon the future
of the state and the northwest Some ac-
count is taken, too. Of the ordinance of

tected the northwest from invasion Of
slavery and ultimately saved the union,

A tube was inserted in the incision made
by the former operation and through this

In Anoka County.
Gamblers, driven out of Minneapolis by
the reform administration, have taken
refuge within the limits of Anoka county
and have opened up a modern Monte
Carlo at Columbia eHights, just across
the line from Hennepin couIsty. Here
they rum apparently without fear of in
terference from the authorities. The
Minneapolis officers cannot, and the
Anoka county of1icialsdo not seem to care
to take any steps to prevent their opera
tions. A twelve-passenger automobile
runs between the place and the end Of the
Central avenue street car line, and car
ries passengers to the new gambling re-
scrt.
The new gambling house is located in
the large brick building at 1000 Central
avenue, which is leased by H. M. Pohl,
an ex-member of the Minneapolis police
force. Pohl does not conduct the new
joint, but shares his lease with the pro-
prietor Of the gambling house and con-
tents himself with furnishing liquid re-
freshments for the crowds that are at
tracted to the place.
According to the story of a visitor
every, game known to the gambling fra
ternity Is played at the place. The pro-
prletor maintains that the games are all

Washington, Aug. 12.-Ther news that
the farmers Of the northwest will harvest
good crops of grain this year gives great
satisfaction to everybody in Washington
who hopes for republican house in the
ffty-eighth congress. Good crops, it Is
reasoned, practically guarantee success
for the republicans in the fall campaign.
Senator Vest recently was quoted as say
ing that a financial panic would put the
democrats on top. The western men
think crop failure would be just as good
for the democrats as a financial panic.
They argue that, with -billion-dol-
lar crop in sight in the northwest, the
election really is over, Except the shout
ing" The farmers, they say, are not
bothering their heads about imperialism
nor tariff reform this year, but are freely
subscribing to- the republican dictum,
