THE Circle" BY Katherine c. Thurston,
with Illustrations by Reginald Birch. is a
story Of unusual power which opens in an
obscure curio shop In London. where Anna
solney. the l6-yesr-old daughter OF an ex-
lie. is chafng bitterly against her enforced
solitude and inactivity. When Unexpectedly
the opportunity so madly craved is offered
her-the chance to take an active place in
the busy world-she finds that the condl-
tions which accompany its acceptance are
only degree less cruel than those involved
in It's rejection. Eight years later she re-
turns,and TO the girl standing in the shadows
II seemed that the circle OF life was COM
plete. From the neutral tints she had
passed through every graduated shade that
existence can possess, revolving slowly past
the faint light tones OF hope and expectation
TO the vivid colors OF actual fulillment
then from the vivid colors steadily and in
evitably forward, TO be confronted once
again by grayness and shadow. The shad-
ows pass. however and the constancy Of
her lover eventually brings to Anna the
realization Of a rarely perfect love. Pub
lished by Dodd. Mead & Co.

A National Peril.
From the New York World


An outbreak of Asatic cholera or bubonic
plague in half dozen parts of the country
would excite universal fear and popular de-
mand for vigorous suppression. The spread
of mob violence and lynching Is a greater
menace than plague. 1t is no exaggera-
ton to describe 1t national peril. For
merly we had occasional lynchings in a
Sparsely settled section of the country
lynchings confined to negroes and to ne
grOeS guilty of one species of crime. The
lyncherS pleaded that the courts were slow
and uncertain and that the protection OF
their wives and daughters demanded this
prompt and exemplary punishment, and
these violations of the law were, in a sense,
condoned by popular sentiment. What is
the result? Like Il horrible and infectious
disease the mob spirit has extended over
the country. OutTageS are increasing in
number, occurring in formerly law
abiding communities, whites as well as
blacks are sacrificed and accusation of
almost any crime in the calendar serves as
a preteXt for mob to throw off all SEM
blance of civilization and perpetrate vio-
lence. murder and revolving savageries that
would disgrace primitive Fiji Islanders.

An Apostle of Riot.

senator Ttllrnan is on tour of the north
west addressing public audiences on the
subject of the race question. His message
is we'll known. His views have for many
years been fixed. That the negro has any
rights the white man is bound to respect
Mr. rillman good as denies. That con-
stitlitfonal guarantees exist he comedies,
but that they are of any force he chai-
lcnc,s ANYBODY to show. For convenience
sake he would have them repealed Mean
while there Is but one thing to he done. and
that is To keep the negro under by any
means that may he effective. The senator
from south Carolina has delivered himself
in this vein so frequently that the country
is we'll advised Of just where he stands on
Tins very important question.
AS evidence, however, that Mr.. Tillman
is ut present in his best form and full of
the courage of his convictions the following
from an interview with him in Chicago may
be cited
Il notice that Illinois and Indiana and
other northern states have recently adopted
the southern way of settling the race ques-
tiuu. That seems to be the only practical
way until the amendment to the ConStitu-
tiuu granting the negroes suffrage has been
repealed. We have shot EN- and hanged
I'm and burned EN- in South Carolina until
they almost know their proper place now,
although the desire To vote. whether or not
they know what they voting for or
against. frequently causes trouble"
Is it too much to characterize Mr.. Till
man as an apostle Of riot? Is his attitude
toward the law any higher than that of
John Most or Emma Goldman? Is there a
tough anywhere in the land who has par
ticip3ted in mebbng negroes, or who med
tatos such cXhilarating employment. but
feels himself approved and encouraged by
tl"s" words? DO they not sow abroad the
very spirit of anarchy and oppression? Is
not the proposition distinctly laid down
that the rifle and the torch are not only
effective but justtiable means for changing
TIE Constitution of the United States?
And yet Mr.. Tillman senator in Con-
El"sS Is under oath to support and defend
the Constitution against all enemies. for
oigu OF domestic, and as a member of the
highest law-making body in the country
should speak for the law, and for it's
amendment only 10y orderly and legally pre-
Scrihcd means If a senator and a law
maker is boastful of his record as a bene-
fCiary of mob rule, need there be any won
der at the spread of contempt for the law
among men with neither public nor private
position to hold them to the proper stand

most remarkable man to date in the his
tory of our political affairs.

We're put upon a strictly antiseptic basis.
So there are absolute limitations to the
precautions which can be taken. 1t is fair
ly certain that countless numbers of ty-
phoid germs enter the body never to pro-
duce disease, not finding there the condi-
tions favorable to growth. And 1t is fur
ther certain that one of the most favor
able conditions for the development OF
these and other disease germs is what is
known as state of mind The man who
is forever suspecting and fretting over
bacilli is diminishing his own power of re-
sistance. The man who is absolutely in

neglecting certain obvious precautions
The middle ground Is safest. Find out the
chief sources of possible infection and as
far as practicable close them tight. Then
forget typhoid fever absolutely. DISMISS
