There will not be much objection to
the course of the board of pardons in
committing Frank Hamilton's sentence to
five years so that he may be released on
parole now. He had, as the board says
a fair trial. and his sentence was not a
severe one. But inasmuch as the board
could, without committing his sentence,
release him on parole next July, it was
proper for it to consider whether release
health. AS the board finds that further
imprisonment might seriously endanger
his life, it will be hard to find fault with
it for paroling Hamilton eight months
earlier than it would in the regular course.

Changed Sentiment,

The report of the controller of the
currency for October shows some in
teresting changes of public sentiment
There were flfty-seven new banks
organized under the national banking
law during the month, having capital
to the amount of $2,500,0OO Forty
eight Of the new banks were organized
in the west, middle west and south.
In the south fourteen new nation
al banks were organized, ten of
which had over $4,000 capital. Texas
made a good showing, with five large
nationals and one of the smaller class,
the six aggregating s375,000 capital.
Very nearly one million of capital was
added to southern banking resources.
banks, with capital under $50, 900
each, and three of the larger class
Oklahoma showed the largest increase
of capital In the west.
Since. March IA, 1900, when the
gold standard law was passed, with
provision for organization of national
banks of the smaller class, 1,765 banks
have been added to the national sys-
tenn, with capital aggregating s104,-
468,000, of which the southern states
contributed $22,20S,O0O; the western
states, $12,335, 900, and the middle
west $31,666.000, as compared with
$27214, 900 for the eastern states and
|! $3,900,000 for the New England
states and $3.50, 200 for. the Pacific
states. a y # s ~
Heresis indications, not only Of the
growing capitalistic strength of eth he
west and south, but Of the subsistence
of the former irrational hostility to
the national banking system, which
seems to have spent its fury during the
presidential campaigns Of 1892, 1896
and 1900. The fiat money insanity is
doubtless to be found here and there
thruout the country, but, as an or
ganized force, it has been so de-
terminedly fought and undermined
| that its leading champions are feel
ing very tired and are talking OF
abandoning it as an issue.
The national banks are becoming
! very acceptable to the people of the
| sections where once blatant dena-
gogs went about denouncing them and
persuading the people that such
banks were run by conspirators bent
on robbing them.

1t is a wide1y-diffused belief that a wo-
man who marries a man who has alco-
holic tendencies fails, however intense
may be her devotion and entreaties. to
save him. Margaret Sangster. in her at

is possible for splendid, wonaanly woman
to WOO a fallen husband, who was her

tion. The story is well told anu the book
is a strong protest against that moderate
drinking which has plunged 50 many men
and women, too, into the alcoholic abyss
The period of the story is that of the
civil war;
Leslie Chiffon, the heroine of Eliza Orne

acter with some little defects. When she
left college she was brimming with en-
thusiasm for the higher education and the
larger independence of woman. whose op-

should be a stimulus to wonnans better
training. She wrote an essay on the sub
iect, and it was published. embedying
some answers to paper opposing the new
views of Woman's mission by a Harvard
professor, Henry Northbrool. Subse-
auently at Mount Desert, Miss Chiffon
meets the professor. There was nothing
rapturous in the love-making. or about
the climaxesef the wooing. There is a
real charm in the many conversational
portions of the book.
DR.. Crother's title The Gentle Reader,
for his book of essays. does not give the
| reader a suggestion of the pleasant read
ing within the covers. DR.. Crothers is in
clined to epigram and one can Gull from
these pages many brilliant and suggestive
thoughts. The first essay 1.-THE Gentle
Reader" is a clever inquiry as to what
has become of the Gentle Reader, SO often
addressed in the text of eighteenth CEN
tury story -tellers. His comparison of the
present day fiction making and that of the
| elder day is admirably. DONE Among the
| Clergy the reader will find a delightful,
| quiet humor and fine literary flavor.
