Treatise on Religion In the Form OF a
Novel by Harry Leon Wilson, the Au-
thor OF "The spenders '-JoaquIn Miller,
the California Poet, Becomes an Oil
Magnate.

Harry Leon Wilson, the author Of 1.-The
Spenders,'' has written a book which he
calls The Seeker. in which the seeker
is made to find that
Christianity is defective Judged even by poor
human standards: untrue by the plain facts OF
human consciousness.
Yet the book is not a treatise on Chris
tianity. There is too much of the novel
about it to admit of its being called a
treatise, and too much of a treatise te
admit Of its being regarded altogether
as novel: SO it lacks strength viewed
from either standpoint. However, it is
for its views as to Christianity that ii
will attract attention

The democratic campaign seems to be
proceeding upon the theory that New
York is about all that is worth fight
ing for. If more vigorous measures arc
not adopted by the democrats in the
central and farther west before very
long. there will be nothing for them
to fight for except New York. Possibly
that is what the managers contemplate
in order that, in the event of probable
defeat, the demands of the radicals may
be the more successfully resisted in the
futlre .>. rL.s'e

That will be a remarkable tour by
Speaker Cannon during the next six
or seven weeks. The well-seasoned and
vigorous old speaker Of the house, one
of the most popular men in America
today, will start on a speech king
tour which will include practically
every doubtful congressional district in
the country, and probably some others.
Among the others will be Minneapolis.
The visit to Minneapolis is due to the
fact that Mr.. Cannon made a promise
to come when it was expected that Mr..
Lind would be a candidate. If the
speaker can stand the strain of tour
like this it will be a fine testimonial to
the vigor and endurance of this veteran
Of many political battles who is now
in his sixty ninth year.

FOREVER AND A DAY

little know or care
If the blackbird on the bough
Is filing all the air
With his soft crescendo now; ~
For she is gone away.
And when she went she took
The springtime in her look,
The peachblow on her cheek.
The laughter from the brook,
The blue from out the May
And what she calls a week
Is forever and day.
It's little that I mind
How the blossoms, pink or whft6s
At every touch of wind
Fall a-trembling with delight;
For in the leafy lane,
Beneath the garden boughs,
And thru the silent house
5es One thing alone / seek:
HK Until she come again
The May is not the May
And what she calls a week
Is forever and day..
