"RIvERFALL," ALBERT ROSS NEW NOVEL

A novel by the widest read of Ameri-
can writer's of fiction. the sales of whose
books have reached more than 100000
copies, is to be one of the chief attrac-
tions for some weeks in The Boston
Sunday Herald, commencing Sunday,
Aug. 2, which is sparing no expense to
keep the position it has long held as the
foremost paper in New England. This
story is called "Riverfall," and is writ
ten by Albert Ross. 1t deals with
long strike in a Massachusetts factor Y
town, where the cotton spinners contend
against reduction in wages by cor
poration that is earning large dividends.
The arguments for and against the re-
duction, and on the usual questions that
affect capital and labor, are put into the
mouths of the representative of the mill
owners and of beautiful woman at the
head of the employees union. Several
love stories are interviewer in the tale
for Cupid laughs at lockouts. After a
bitter and prolonged contest, happy
solution of the trouble is found, and an
ideal picture is presented of what cot
ton manufacturing town might be with
selfishness and greed eliminated
Thrilling scenes abound in the novel
and it has that absence of dullness for
which Albert Ross is famous

A minor difficulty in the solution oil /
the problem is nov presented by the adj
yaneed Afro-AmericAn who, while Por-
Tossing much respect for Booker Wash
ington, very evidently thinks him IN
adequate to the position of leader OF the
Afro-Am-rican cause. We are informed
that this opinion is shared by a large
proportion of the race. II this is true IL
is matter for regret. Prof. W. r.
Burghardt Dubois, colored graduate
Of Harvard College, has recently pub
lished book (The souls of Black folks)
which cannot fail in producing certain
effects. Whether his opinions will be
potent for good or i'll remains to be seen.
There is justice and reason in every
point of his argument. But Booker
Washington, although perhaps not quite
so intellectual, is wiser in that he per-
ceives that much remains to be done be-
fore justice can prevail. This great and
good man has gained the respect and
sympathy of all intelligent white folks
North and South, by his unselfsh de-
votion to the cause. In his every speech,
love for his race and his country is most
apparent. He has achieved fame simply
because this was farthest from his pur-
pose. As a reformer he is not at all
aggressive nor insistent upon equal
opportunities in the present age. But
, his simple eloquence, his common sense,
! and thorough understanding of the
temper of the South, together with his
: actual achievements at Tuskagee, is
gaining far more for the cause than
brilliant rhetoric or high flights in i'm
FASHIONED oratory. That he neither de
sires nor expects the establishment o.
= social intimacy between the races IL
t proof of true dignity and the right kline
e of culture. He might with justice in
+ dulge in satirical reflections on the su
/ periority of the enemies of his race.
+ At the one hand there is pride and pre-
d iudice, and the determination to per
# petuate through the children the su
y premacy so loGg enjoyed and regarded
It as a divine right, and the bitter men
o DRY of shameful, humiliating il
d Justice suffered during the recon
l. struction period. At the other ham
l. there is the natural resentment of tn
IS advanced Afro American at the il
h Justice melted out to his race to-day, an
Ne the very evident desire to force the issu
E. This is the problem; the actual solutio
ID of it is indeed dilemma.

Christian Manliness Supreme.

Pope Leo XIII is dead in fact, but
even in death he is power for good to
thoughtful world, and the seal of
death commands the tolerant spirit of
mankind. 1t is study for the philoso-
pher and the theologian an example
for him who would spy out the hidden
springs of true greatness. The lifting
of the shadows of the past, to let the
clarifying influences of modern progress
open the living springs of truth and love
is, as vision, again very visible.
What does it mean? The Pope, the
moral leader and head of more than
one-half of the believers in Jesus Christ
throughout the world, he who more
than any other living man, or scores of
men, has for more than quarter of a
century determined from his exalted
position the thoughts and actions of
many millions, ceases to speak in audi.
