Belshazzar. A Tale of the Fall of
Babylon. BY William stearns Davis. IL
n Illustrated by l.. w. Zigler, decorated by
Laub New York: Doubleday, Page & Co.
Minneapolis: Nathaniel Mccarthy. Price
$1.50. 4..
The author has woven into the chronicles
of the Jewish scriptures and the records dug
up in the valley of the Euphrates a romance
of the latter fateful days of Belshazzar, of
the Babylonian empire. The period Of the
overturning of the Assyrian empire by Cyrus
and Darius, the Mede. known In history as
Darius Hystaspes, both of whom figure in
Biblical history and prophecy, is an epochai
period, ushering in the Medo-Persian empire,
the second Of the world empires Of prophecy.
A student of the wonderful work of excava-
ton in the Mesopctamian valley, since Layard
began his discoveries on the site of Nineveh,
finds himself. now in possession of vast
amount of information about social and bust
ness, military, Judicial, religious, literary,
educational and other life in the great cities
OF the plain which were the centers OF opu-
lent kingdoms and empires. 1t is possible
now to write romance of the period with
out committing very serious anachronisms
The author has told of Dariuss journey to
Babylon from Susa with the daughter of
Cyrus, betrothed to Belshazzar. the latter's
cruel treatment and Imprisonment of both
and the war against Babylon by Cyrus and
the rescue. The orgy in Beishazzar's palace,
the writing on the wall, the surprise by the
Persian. troops and their triumph, are de-
scribed with fine effect Daniel and Isaiah
are introduced, the latter with some dis
regtrd of chronology.

the period of Cyrus and Belshazzar or to give

ILLUSTRATING NOVELS

Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson has the cour-
age Of her success and convictions, according
to the New York Sun. She objects to handing
over the tender mercies of illustrators the
characters Of her creation Her new novel,
1.-The Speckled Bird whose advance sales
have been enormous, will not be illustrated
Other authors have shared Mrs. Wilson
prejudice. but have not had the frmness to
Withstand the representations OF their pub
fishers, and have seen their bestowed hero
ines and heroes butchered to make an artists
holiday. 1t would be interesting to know
whether the reading public really yearns foe
illustrations.
The vital necessity of pictures in the maya.
zine world one must admit. There are even
a few artists so much in favor that their
pictures will win a hearing for book. But
setting aside the maunee-idol artists and a
few men whose work Is so good that 1t has
value wherever it appears, do the ordinary
illustrations justify the money expended upon
them?
Do they help to sell book? Do they not,
rather, in many cases, prejudice the casual
buyer against a book that may have merit?
There seems no way of getting at the facts
in the case, but 1t is certain that q large
class Of intelligent readers hail with JOY
book well made, attractive in paper, type
and cover and altogether free from common
place representations Of characters of whom
the author succeeds in giving Interesting linz
pressions.

The FAILURE AT THE VATICAN

The failure of the negotiations at, the
vatican, designed to effect reasonable
settlement of the question of the friars of
the Dominican, Augustinian, Recolletos
and Franciscan orders and their holdings
of land, is due chiefly to the unwillingness
of the vatican to, assume the direct re-
sponsibility of removing this disturbing
element from the Philippines. T3t
The commission Of cardinals was dis
posed to prolong the Negotiations in
definitely by fnespun yerbiage and diplo-
matte hairsplitting. Governor Taft, &C
custorned. to directnessl and business
promptness, acting according to his in
structions, terminated what was getting
to be a useless talking in a circle, and
the vatican will have to continue the ne
gotiations through an apostolic delegate
at Manila. Our government has made it
perfectly plain to the vatican and to the
world that the withdrawal Of the friars of
the four. religious orders was desired In
the interest of the whole people of The
Philippines, certainly by the six or seven
millions Of Roman Catholic Filipinos who
are perfectly loyal to their church, but
cannot endure the domination of the fri
ars and would Infinitely prefer that the
parishes be occupied by secular clergy
who would give themselves up to their
spiritual functions and not assume civil
functions and judicial powers and abuse
both. as the friars did. e
Our government has most courteously
dealt with the whole question. It has as
sured the vatican that it has no intention
whatever of forcing the friars out Of the
Philippines, but seeks such withdrawal
through the order of the religious superb
ors at the suggestion OF the vatican, the
latter having signified its willingness to
instruct the friars to abstain from poll
tics, and to remove them by degrees and
substitute American priests for them.
This arrangement was too indefinite and
our government could not accept it, for
the friars would still be disturbing
element in our possessions. Our govern
ment will continue negotiations at Ma
Mia through the vatican's delegate, and
on the basis of absolute separation Of
church and state. 1t is already definitely
understood that the United States will
not tolerate or recognize church teach
ing In the public schools. Secretary Root

teachers were PROSECUTING in the public
schools in ,Luzon, that the schools are te

This fortunate result is regarded as
due, however, more to the good sense and

Judgment of the responsible officers.
Undoubtedly General Smith is treated

EXIT SMITH

General Jacob H. Smith, found guilty by
courtmartial In Manila of the charge OF
having issued orders as to the conduct of
the campaign in samar which were in
violation OF the rules Of war and dis
grace to the American army, and who was
sentenced to be admonished and dealt
with by the reviewing authority, has been
retired under the age limit. 80
General Smith is the man who gave the
"kill and burn order, and who accompa
MED his written instruct ions to major
Waller with oral directions as follows:
81 want no prisoners. 7 wish you to
kill and burn. The more you kill and
burn the better you will please me-" He
said that he wanted all persons killed
who were capable Of bearing arms and In

In reply to Major Walters inquiry as to
the age limit, he designated 10 years,
meaning that all males above 10 years
should be included in his 'tkill and burn
order.

says that the court discovered by I'M

CANT language implied; that his subor-
dinates did not take him as seriously as
he declared himself, and that, as mat
ter of fact, the orders were never exc
cuted in the sense in which they were ex-
pressed, Notwithstanding that a desperate
struggle was being conducted with a cruel
and savage foe. No women, or helpless
persons, or non -combatants, OF prisoners
were put to death pursuant to these or
ders. ..- .E
Nevertheless, General Smith was guilty
of int emperate, inconsiderate and violent
| utterances which the secretary says
would have. if accepted literally, grossly
violated. the humane rules governing
American arms in the field, and which, il
followed, would have brought lasting dis
grace upon the military service" Gen.
eral Smith is, therefore, retired from SER

and the secretary for his failure to pre-
serve that moderate and temperate atti-
tude which his position as superior Of

THE WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS

ALTHOUGH they devoted themselves In
their platform declarations almost ex-
clusively to state matters, the republicans
of Wisconsin avoided the mistake of the
Minnesota republican convention and
brought in their resolutions at aStime
when they could be properly and thor
oughly considered. Evidently the franz
ers of the Wisconsin platform were not
afraid to submit it for free consideration
by the convention.
The point of special interest in the Wis
consin platform is the resolution with
regard to Senator Spooner. Senator Spoon
er's friends were anxious to have him en-
dorsed for reelection wit bout any quail
ifications, but the La Toilette men, who
were in absolute control Of the conven-
ton, secured the adoption of a resolution
which pledged the support of the republi-
cans to his reelection, provided the SEN
ator would accept the state platform.
spooner has been claimed by the stall
warts, and while the La Toilette men are
proud Of his record and desire to see him
continued in his place in the senate, they
want him to stand for those things which
the prevailing republican sentiment Of
the state approves.
Senator spooner is a. man whom the
people of Wisconsin have great reason to
be proud Of. His distinguished services
to his state and to the nation are rec
.ognized with pride and admiration every
where. Possibly a difference of opinion
upon some matters of state administra-
ton ought not to determine whether
he IL to be continued in his important
work at Washington in national affairs
and yet there is manifest propriety in
harmony Of sentiment and influence on all
questions affecting the interest Of the
commonwealth, whether they be state OF
national.
There is danger in departure from that
principle. The republicans of-Wisconsir
stand for election reform and the revision
Of their system Of taxation Whether the
majority Is altogether right on these
propositions or not is another question
That majority is entitled to select its
I. repre- in both state and nationa
affairs. and while 1t might make seri.
GUS mistake in permitting considerations
affecting the choice of a United States
senator to be shaped too much by mat.
ters pertaining solely to the state ad.
ministration, unquestionably they have 6
right TO insist upon the acceptance O.
republican state principles by members O.
CONGRESS who aspire to represent them il
national affairs. If they see fit to inpos,
that condition.
Departure from that course is likely t.
lead to that unfortunate condition Of az
fairs which obtains in this state. where
members Of congress have not only dts
regarded the sentiment of their con
stituents on important public questions
but have had the utterly inexcusable. pre-
sumption to undertake to formulate tn,
official declarations of their party in sucl
way as to stifle the real sentiment 0
the people Of the state. This is a con
dition of things which cannot be toler
ated, and which the republicans of Wis
consin have taken pains to avoid.
