is high time for a vigorous and general
protest against what Mrs. Harris has
called, with the full force of truth with
her indecent exposure OF erotic temper
ament'' in the reading offered the public.
Mrs. Harris, lit may be said, applies the
characterization to t.The Story Of Mary
MacLane.'' "The One Woman" says the
writer, "is, indeed, the best Illustration
we have had this year of neurosis in
fiction. y Mr.. Dixon is the only
novelist Of the year in whose work the
neurotic symptoms approach mania. :
Despite the example of Mr. Dixon, Mrs.
Harris commends southern novelists for
their freedom from the disease, saying,
Not one of them is capable Of regaling
himself with a purely nervous and intel
lectual debauch In vicious sensations. =
This number Of the Independent is a
book number tho there is much in it that
does not relate directly TO books.

TWO MEN CONTROL RAILROADS.

The combination of railroads within the last decade has made the consoli- dations of coal mining and iron mining properties, and the great steel mills in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Indi- ana, not only possible, but necessary. First there had been an understanding among the great freight carriers, an understanding which has ripened into a hard and fast coalition and unity of ownership. Later it became absolute ly necessary to include some, if not all, of the great freight producers The bulk of the coal mining of the country is now done by corporations, and the Pennsylvania and the New York Gen. tral, the roads that either handle or control nine tenths of all the freight brought to Atlantic ports for shipment abroad. are in close partnership with the coal and iron industries of the coun- try. Indeed, no less an authority than John W. Gates, a Wall street broker, declares that every foot of railroad in the United states is controlled by two men, J. P. Morgan and B. H. Harri- man, and, if control were carried to its finality, he is probably correct. MT Morgan's control. through magnates such as James J. Hill, spans the conti- nent from New York to Seattle. and it reaches as far south as New Orleans. F. St Clair in Success.

One of the writers in the Engineer ing Magazine for April says that "some method should exist whereby employer and men could get together and discuss their mutual difficulties be- fore trouble begins. For when once trouble does raise, and 1t has become so acute as to require the attention of the employer, he may be certain that by that time the feelings and prejudices of all who have attempted to handle the proposition have been aroused to a high pitch. There is certain to be a large degree of bad feeling and doubt of good intention on the part of both parties to the controversy. Many times the workmen's proposal is too absurd for the employer to entertain for mo- ment. The workmen, on the other hand, often embittered by delays and lack of consideration on the part of their immediate superiors, at times in sist upon its acceptance. Or. on the other hand, the employer upon consid- ering the case will often see in the proposal large element of justice which he would have admitted without hesitation if the proposition had come to him first handed He however, often feels obliged to refuse such pro- posals for the sake of discipline and his desire to stand by his subordinates. Many bitter strikes have occurred un- der such conditions strikes which could have been easily avoided had the questions been met fairly, firmly and promptly. Whether or not the pro posals are fair, in either case most de sirable results can be accomplished by giving them prompt attention together with just and firm consideration at the time when they are first presented.

The late Rev MT Hutchins would have become famous had he lived, ow- ing to his utterances in regard to the degenerate inhabitants of the back woods towns. As 1t is, his memory is going to be kept green for long time by those who. differed with him as well as by those who agreed with his ideas. A South Manchester Epis- copal minister, who has such radical ideas on the question, is resigning his passionate after twelve years, just be cause his congregation does not be lieve as he does. This pastor thinks the new blood that has come to the country Is responsible for what the Rev Mir Hutchins said9eztsted, and not the old native stock < In a communi- cation to the Hartford Times among other things he says that the real points of danger are in our cities and large manufacturing villages. Here we face problems of tremendous and pressing interest t-ind difference, bigotry, superstitiong in religion, corruption in politics, luxury and senvy in our social life, and. above all the titanic struggle going on between the forces of organ ized capital and organized labor. At any moment conflict may be precipi- tated which win paralyze the indus tries of the whole state and shake our social structure to it's base. One in- furiated Waterbury is far greater menace to our social peace than fifty of the most degenerate country towns. The threatened strike on the Consoli- dated road is more to be feared than all the evils which Mir Hutchins de- picts. It Is when we stand face to face with these real problems that we need be seriously anxious for our old com monwealth. Our chief danger lies not in the poverty of the few, but in the wealth, luxury and greed of the many.
