CURRENT LITERATURE.
Observations of New Books and
Late Magazines.

A new volume of The Forum opens
with the July-September issue. The
firsa article, by H. L. West, describes
the present outlook in American Pol
tics" with special attention to the
probabilities of the presidential cam
paign. The course of the war in the
East and the changes in the Euro
pean situation supply material for
the greater part of A. Maurice Lows

The National Magazine for July OPP
ems with remarkable group picture
of eleven distinguished western uni
versity presidents. Homer Daven-
port, greatest of American cartoon
lists, contributes his very best picture
"a labor of loye-a noble and beauti-
full portrait of his father, holding in
his arms Gloria, the tiny daughter of
the famous artist. Joe Mitchell
Chapple, chatting about affairs at
Washington and at the Worlds Fair,
tells how Davenport has won success
on the lecture platform.
The magazine that is indispensable
in a presidential year, the American
Monthly Review of Reviews, is living
up to its well-earned reputation. The
issue for July is strong in political ar
ticles of wide and timely interest.
Theodore Roosevelt as a Presiden-
i 4so3D sr. In
graphic, trenchant style, yet with dig
nifty, as BELTS the subject, by one Of
the delegates TO the Chicago conven-
ton.
Seasonable from cover to cover is
the July number of The Housekeeper,
overlooking with summer stories,
verses, pictures and articles. Chief
among the fiction is the first INSTALL
ment of Clinton Scollard's two-part
story, "The Cinerary Urn Of Sergius
Claudius," stirring tale OF adventure
in modern Palestine.
The July st. Nicholas has the first
chapters of unique serial, "'Kibun
Daizin,' or From Shark-Boy to Mer-
chant Prince" written by Gensai Mu-
raj, and translated for st. Nicholas by
a native Japanese. Gensai Mural
was once a student of the Waseda
School, founded by Count Okuma,
leader of the Progressive Party in
Japan.
The butterflies on the cover of The
Pilgrim for July give a clue to the
light and airy nature of the contents
of the magazine. July being a mid
summer month, the heavfness which
seems to be a feature of most maya
zines is done away with in the case
Of The Pilgrim and the contents of
the issue will be found entertaining
merely.
The mystery of wells as a feminine
adjunct to beauty is the theme of a
very interesting essay by Mrs. N. NJ.

distinctly one of the fads of the

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 25.-Newspa-
pers in Kansas which formerly were
friendly to United States Senator Bur-
ton, or, at least, not against him, are
now denouncing him and his methods,
and some of his closest friends go so
far as to say that his Indictment serves
to eliminate him from Kansas politics.
The Topeka Capitol, one of Senator
Burton's stanchest newspaper friends
during his campaign, and which sup
ported him until the story of the in
dictment reached here, contained a
significant editorial on the subject
yesterday morning. After telling the

1t appears therefore that Senator Bur-
ton undertook to defend the hold Of a
swindling concern organized to fleece in
nocent investors The defense Of persons
indicted for criminal acts is sometimes
undertaken by lawyers even when they
believe or know their client guilty. When
such a lawyer is a private citizen little
protest is heard from the public. When
such a lawyer occupies the exalted office
of a senator Of the United States, next
to the presidency itself, the indignant
public makes a distinction.
Senator Burton may be able to secure
an acquittal on the plea that he was act
Ing as an attorney, not as a senator. He
cannot hope to escape popular condemna-
ton and resentment in Kansas for acting
as attorney for notorious concern whose
only object was to rob the public and for

Dawson, Mann, Jan. 25.-The debat-
ing teams Of the Montevideo and Daw-

Saturday evening.
The question for discussion was the
public ownership Of public utilities,
Dawson maintaining the affirmative
side. Montevideo was represented by
Amos Meyer, Sigurd Aker and Harry
Hill; Dawson by Laura Sabol, Albert
Anderson and Willie Moen. Dawson's
debaters were a trio of hard fighters,
and were gifted in the use of wit,
logic and facts. They excelled their
opponents in the amount and variety
Of illustrative material, in construc-
tive and rebuttal argument, and in
animated and effective delivery.
Several times the audience was con-
vulsed in laughter by the illustra-
tons of the debaters, and one debater
was interrupted by tremendous APP
plause because of a telling reference.
The judges were T. j. McElligott,
mayor and attorney of Madison; H. G..
Higbee, superintendent of schools at
Clarkfeld, and H. M. Hanson, bank
err of Handy Falls. All took elaborate
notes upon the points of the question
as presented, and after carefully sum-
lIlS1u up CAST tIlclI FOLSS

A. w. Ewing, a local attorney, made
an impartial presiding officer.
The opera-house was we'll filled, and
the financial part was entirely salts

weather which prevented many Mon
tevideo supporters from attending.

ent in full force and yelled Justify

The roofing of the Dawsonites be-
fore and after the debate was a fea-
ture Of the evening. A large crowd
remained in the hall till midnight,

enjoying the refreshments provided by
the local high school pupils.
The occasion was a decided success,
and more of a similar nature are
sure to follow.

ARMOUR SELLS;
PRICES FALL
Wheat Tumbles 35s Gents on the
Chicago Board of Trade
Rallies Later.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-A break Of 3%
cents in the price of May wheat
marked the selling to-day Of approx
mately 100000 bushels by Armour.
The crowd had sold July short Sat-
urday on favorable rains in the south
west, and the cold snap to-day caused
a covering movement, which carried
the July delivery to $3.50, IL cents
above Saturdays close. Sympathetic
ally, May rose Us Ok cents, to 925s
cents, which is equal to the best price
of the season.
At this price Armour let slip about
a million and a half. The decline
thus started brought out numerous
stop loss orders, under which the re-
action carried May to 80 cents. At
this point profit taking by shorts, and
a cessation of the Armour selling,
brought about a sharp rally to 89B
cents. July was comparatively much
steadier, the decline from the top
reaching only 23s cents.
Some estimates of the Armour sales
ran as high as 100000 bu. What
ever it was, considerable Of it was
bought back to check the slump.
Closing prices We're sufficiently
steady to indicate that, no matter
what amount the leading long had
sold, he had not relinquished his grip
on the nearby delivery. May closed
at S9as @ S9h cents, and July at S1h
@S13s cents.
