ON the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune
Nathaniel HaW throne did not write the
great American novel-that miraculous
thing for which critics of certain type are
always looking-but he remains unquestion-
ably the great American novelist. He Is the
one classic of our fiction in whose writings
may be discerned the note peculiar to the
masters. The celebrations at Salem, Con-
cord and elsewhere of the centenary Of his
birth, which occurred on July 4. 1904, eX-
press nothing If they do not express recog-
milton of this fact. When similar hcnors
were paid to Emerson last year, they were
offered necessarily as much to the Moral
ist as to the prose writer or poet. The Con-
cord oracle drove at conduct. Hawthorne
drove at the Requirement of mems minds,
and if in him, too. the spirit of New Eng
land was SO strong that he loved to seek
the literary motive in the moral ISSUE he
had. on the other hand, in even greater
measure, the disinterested instinct of the
born romancer. In acclaiming him We ac-
claim the most notable manifestation of the
artistic temperament in American litera-
ture.

Says the New York Tribune.

Bryan as a bolter, after his furious de-
nunciations of the gold democrats of 1896
and 1900 would be a meteoric spectacle at
St. Louis
Yes, but he would have to compete as a
spectacle with the gold democrats, who
would, of course be furious with the bolter.
Neither link, however, would lack for Wig
orous terms with which to characterize the
other Mr.. Bryan could help himself freely
to the speeches of the gold democrats made
in 1896 and 1900 about the right and the
duty of a man to bolt his party when II Is
wrong. and the gold democrats would find
in Mr.. Bryan's speeches overwhelming rea-
sons why when the party has spoken all
of its members should obey. The contro-

Liberalism in Education.
From the San Francisco Call

From the San Francisco Call.
The alterations that Princeton has made
in entrance requirements and in the group
ing of studies given in her various colleges
has significance to the educational world
for it shows that the very liberal spirit
born in the western colleges and state uni
versities has begun to take root in the older
and more conservative institutions of es.
tablished prestige. The break from the
ironclad rules of classicism in college edu.
cation came not from the oldest of our
universities. but was the inspiration OF
growing colleges in the middle west and on
our own Pacific coast.

WHILE urging the passage of his bill
for federal commission to grade wheat,
in the senate, Nh. NcCumber stated
that the farmer was robbed of millions
of dollars every year by false inspection
and grading. The wheat, hs said, goes
into the elevators as low grade or no
grade and comes out of them as
Northern. He further charged that the
official record of the elevators of Duluth
and Superior would show that during
the past ten years 26,S68,0O bushels
more wheat went out of the elevators
than came in. This, he said, was simply
dishonest weighing, and by it the growers
81 the grain had been robbed of 10000
GOO. One elevator at Superior was
shown to have made clear profit of
$4,000 in one month by manipulation
Of the grading Of wheat. A nationallaw
that would protect the farmers Of the
land against such enormous robbery
swould certainly be boon to the country
~ large.

The following story of how Japan &C.
Quired her first cruiser is told by q
German paper:
The Sunray was purchased by the
japanese government from the Eng
lish and was duly brought to Tokyo.
Great was the excitement when the
huge ship steamed into the harbor.

colossus, and the admiralty solemn

aboard to learn how to make the

Of instruction, which came to speedy
end, the japanese admiral declaring
that he understood everything and now
wished to be left in command. The
British commander doubted the Jap's
proficiency after such brief practice,
but the little admiral was so insistent
that the Englishman gave way with
good grace and left the little man in
charge Of the ship.
The admiral was on the bridge in
twinkling, giving his orders as though
to the manner born. The Sunray be-
gan to move through the harbor to-
ward the massive sea wall Of the quay.
Suddenly the humiliating fact be-
came apparent that neither admiral
nor crew had the faintest notion how
to bring the ship to standstill. The
watching crowd on the quay stood
transfixed, awaiting the imminent dis
aster, but the plucky little admiral
with the utmost sangfroid gave orders
that the cruiser should be steered
round and round. like kitten in pur-
suit of its tail. This maneuver was
kept up till the fires had been extin-
guished and steam let off. The ship
gradually slowed down and was final

QUERIES ABOUT KOREA
1Ae American Minlster at seo~l n
Flooded with Then.

3Ao American Mln1stee at Seoul n
Flooded with Then.
Korea. which was the Hermit King
dom Of yesterday, is today one Of the
best advertised countries on the globe,
says the New York Tribune. Korea
was the chief cause Of the present war
between Russia and Japan, and as
such she Is Of interest to all civilized
nations. All the queer customs and
quaint usages Of the little realm where
men wear skirts and women high hats
are being ruthlcssly dragged out of
their obscurity and disported before
the eyes of the world.
Evidence of Americas interest in
faraway Korea is to be seen in the
food Of letters which are pouring in
on Horace N. Allen, the American min
lister at Seoul, the Korean capital. The
communications contain all kinds of
questions. One man wants to know IL
he can get concession to start gold
mine and just where he had better dig
first. Another of less commercial trend
Of mind desires information concern
ing wild flowers.
Among others who are deluging Mr..
Allen with inquiries is small boy.
While Russia and Japan are rushing
troops over the Korean mountains the
small boy has taken the opportunity to
skirmish for postage stamps. In an
swer to numerous letters which he has
received requesting loose Korean post
age stamps Mr.. Allen has replied in
the following circular communications:
Korean stamps may be had from dealers
in the United States and elsewhere. There
10 no wastebasket at this Office overflow
ing with Cancelled stamps. nor is there
any little boy at hand waiting to cut OFF
these stamps for large number of appli-
cants.
In answer to those who want conces-
sions from the Korean government MI.
Allen says that applications are need
less. Korea is granting no more con-
cessions these days. He also breaks
the cruel news to the women desiring
positions ut court there that there is
mo demand in the Korean palace for
foreign women as nurses, maids. gov
ernesses, teachers, physicians and COM
panions."

HEROIC JAPANESE MATRoN.
! Mother Committed Suicide Tha

A Mother Committed Suicide That
Her Son Might Fight For Japan.
A London newspaper recently print
ed report that japanese woman
committed suicide when she learned
that her only son, who had volunteered
to serve in the army, had been exempt
ed by the enrolling officers because his
mother was dependent upon him for
support. News of the heroic act of the
woman has spread throughout Japan.
The woman left letter in which she
had written down her intention to end
her life in order that her son might go
to the front and fight for his country.
She killed herself by sinking knife
into her breast. Just before she died
she handed the knife to her son and
made signs to him to use it to defend
Japan. The son pocketed the weapon,
appeared again before the enrolling Of
hcers and was this time accepted as a
private.
There have been a number Of cases
reported where wives have separated
from their husbands and accepted des-
dtution in order to enable their hus-
bands to 60 to the front.
