and right to levy taxes, appeared to Hobbess
contemporaries TO be monster Of terrible
portent Lovers of liberty Of thought
and action were shocked by a doctrine
which In their eyes was ft only for the
graceless and abject courtiers Of the Res
toration. In time, however, though not
for some generations. men came to ac-
knowledge that the rights OF sovereignty
could not be divided. and they attested
their acknowledgment by virtually trans
ferring the whole of sovereignty from the
King to the Parliament
Hobbies preserved his intellectual activity
almost to the very last. His autobiography
in Latin verse was thrown OF at the age Of
"a. Three years later 0075 he produced
a complete translation Of both the -Iliad'
and the Odyssey, prefaced by disser-
tation on Virtues of an Heroic Poem
As late as August. 1870, he told his publisher
that he was writing somewhat to print in
English" In the following October. how
ever. he suffered a suppression OF urine. a
disorder incurable at his age, and this about
a month later was followed by paralytio
stroke, under which he sank. on the 4th OF De-
cember in his ninet y-second year. For the
benefit Of those who marvel at his longevity,
coupled as 1t was with intellectual vigor. we
may mention that all his life Hobbies was
careful about his health, and believer in
bodily exercise. According TO one witness, he
played tennis once a week when he was well
over 70. In the country, where there
was no tennis court, he would walk up and
down hill till he was in great sweat. and
then have himself rubbed down. Accord
ing to another biographer. he accounted it
mot consistent with an harmonical soul to
be woman hater, neither had he an abhor-
rescence to good wine." He is said to have
had natural daughter, whom he called the
slip of his youth (delictum juuentutis), and
he calculated that he had been drunk 100
times in the course of his life. Had he
been. however. habitually immoral or
his respectable opponents would
hardly have refrained, as, in fact. they did.
from any imputation Of the kind.

SOME NEW BOOKS.


The latest addition to the English Men
OF Letters" series is entitled Hobbes, by
Sir LESLIE STEPHEN CMacmilans). II was
natural that the author of the three volumes
on sThe English Utilitarians,' published
some years ago, should wish to supplement
that work by biographical and critical
estimate OF the great materialistic philoso-
plier, the foremost English thinker between
Bacon and Locke. who may be regarded
a. the seventeenth century prototype OF
Herbert Spencer. and who was TO exercise
much influence on the French encycop@d-
lists, as well as on the English writers OF
the Benthamite school, by whom and espe-
cially by Sir William Molesworth. public
interest in the creator of "Leviathan' was
revived. There is no doubt that Sir Leslie
Stephen would have indicated the extent
and depth OF Hobbes's posthumous influ-
ence had he lived to complete the book.
As IL Is we have what hitherto was lacking,
q comprehensive monograph on Hobbes's
whole philosophical performance. an ade-
quate study Of his system in it's physical,
psychological and political aspects. SO
far, on the other hand, as the biographical
data are concerned, Sir Leslie was able to
add little, If anything, to the valuable article
contributed by Prof d. Groom Robertson
TO the ninth volume Of the Encyclopedias
Britannica. The truth is that the materials
are by no means as abundant as might be
expected in view Of the somewhat con-
spicuous part played by Hobbies in the
course OF life which stretched from the
year OF the Armada G5ss) to December.
1879. The philosopher himself, when more
than eighty, wrote an autobiography in
Latin elegiacs. He also furnished an
photographed notice to Anthony Wood,
who some years later published the we'll
known book on the history and antiquities
of Oxford University. Soon after Hobbes's
death, DR.. Blackburne brought out what
he called Vit9 Hobbidnu Auctdrium, con- |
tanning some further information. From
these three sources and s,indry incidental
references is derived such knowledge of
Hobbies as is obtainable. The main Incl
dents in Hobbess life deserve attention |
because in his case it is peculiarly difficult |
to dissociate the philosopher from the |
man.

The rest OF Hobbes's life was spent in
England. In 1858 he again became men,
ber of the Earl Of Devonshire's family,
and lived with him either in retirement at
Latimers. in Buckinghamshre. or at Little
Salisbury House. in London. He found
that in the country ones understanding
grows mouldy. and he was fond OF the
metropolis. where he could cultivate. the
friendship Of his most distinguished oon-
temporaries. Milton. of course, would not
be oongenial. but he was on intimate terms
with Waller, Cowley and Davenant. We

GENTLE HINT.

They are going to have new pipe organ in the Christian church at Eldo- rado. Kansas. if they can get the mon ey to buy it with, and they are going to get the money if limiting will bring 1t. This is the way the Eldorado Re- publican is limiting: There are three wives. who are members of the Chris tian church, whose husbands are con- nected with three banks in town; and, regardless of what they have hereto fore subscribed, it seems to us they ought to go to church Sunday morning and start the new subscription with a thousand dollars each. If we had one half the money any one of these bank CTS claims to have we would present the church with 5000 pipe organ"
 If the three wives and the three hus- bands can't take this hint we don't know what they can take in that line. It reminds us of the hints which were given people in New Haven awhile ago by the managers of Christian enter prise here.

At last we have what has long and much been needed in this troubled town. That is Citizens League of the right kind. There are already sew eral Citizens Leagues here, but they are not of the right kind. They take
 too much interest in politics and they are too insistent that whatever govern ment there is shall suit them. The new League is going to take an interest in politics too, and 1t is also going to in-
 sist that the government here shall suit | it. But as it's politics is going to be good and the government it will insist on must be good it can be seen at a glance how much better the new Citi- zens' League is than all the old ones.
 It may also be added that the citizens
 who are in the new League are much better than those in the old Leagues.
 Some of them would admit it them
 selves. and it is only fair that it should
 be admitted by others.
 The machinery of the new League is
 simple and yet profound, and it is
 bound to be effectual. We are espec-
 ially struck with the Board of Control feature of it. It is a masterly device.
 With a Board of Control controlling the League and also controlling all outside of it the ground will be pretty well cov- ered.' The name is well chosen and the
 thing itself is nothing less than splen- did. We await its appearance and per- formance in the political arena with feverish interest. In arenic language it's appearance and performance will sure ly be characterized by a corpulent am- plitude of activity and huge heroic hits. Count lem and watch em.-
 We read in the Book of Truth that the tower in Siloam fell upon eighteen pretty good men and slew them so dead that they never knew what hit them. But no tower will fall on the Board of Control Wise, powerful and agile, it will easily be able to avoid all danger from the, towers and things it is going to make fall, and when it has spread them all in ruins at it's feet it will be found safe. sound and coherent, and modestly controlling any inclination it may feel to blow its own horn. May we be here then to blow for it.

An Idea Emphasized.
To the Editor of the Journal and courie

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 The absorbing topic in all public places is the police investigation which has come after much waiting as a re- suit of the Mckee raid. and the pres sure growing out of the assaults in the wealthier residential districts.
 At least one communication has ap- peared laying the assaults at the door of the saloon. May I emphasize that idea, and group some quotations from the local press which at least cast the shadow of the liquor business over the two other recent notable law breaking episodes April 21 reports on the gam- bling raid read: From his remarks, Chief Wrinn appeared to feel-though he would not say so in so many words -that City Attorney Webb had pur- posely gone over his head with the in. tent to prove that the police depart ment was permitting violations of the law in fulfillment of alleged promises given by Colonel. Ullman's followers to those who would deliver the goods at the primaries. . And further: "I know said Captain Ishell, that in- ducements were held out to saloon- keepers that they might keep open

However, the i'm ports from the British West Indies for April fell off from 16.727,s1S pounds in 1903 to 1.742.5s2 pounds in 1904, the s,lrinkage for the ten months being from 121,52O,352. pounds to 5O,s21.17S pounds. Equally astonishing results are shown in connection with our trade with South America, Africa. and the East Indies.

The United States is benevolent and

 icent as England would like to have it. England Is pained because we do not encourage her sugar industry more. It appears that in April the total imports of sugar into the United States were 5,935,756 pounds. against SS6, 29S, ,196 pounds in the same month of 1903; and for the ten months past they were g. 921, ,S57,920 pounds, against S,4O5, ,ss0, ,260 the year before.

LABOR IN THE COTTON F1ELDs


 It has been asserted that the South lis and will be at the mercy of the negroes in cotton growing, but there is Ia suggestion or two that if it is now lit may not always be. For instanceI 10. B. Crittenden, manager of the big lCorbin estate in Arkansas, says in the Manufacturers Record that more than |one-half of that property is now work led by Italian labor, and that the Ital- Hans are superior to the negroes in growing cotton. And there is talk about Chinese labor for the cotton fields. The Southern Ruralist says: Tt is very doubtful if any number of white foreign laborers can ever be in- Iduced to come South and work in com petition with the negro. The China |man, however, would have no such scruples, and we are of the opinion |that he would prove a potent factor lin solving the so-called and much dis |cussed race problem The negro can |not begin to supply the requirements |of our growing industries and the white laborers at the South are so few that they cannot at present enter into |the calculation of the labor supply" Noting the suggestion, :. the Atlanta Constitution expresses willingness to sound Southern sentiment" in regard Ito it.
 If there is any serious talk about im- porting Chinese labor for the South there will be a lively time for awhile. But if such labor is really needed sen- timent wont stand forever, in the way. Work must be done and money made.
