 Dorothy Dainty at School" by Amy Brooks, is the third volume of ''Doro- thy Dainty Series" and is finely illus- trated by the author.
 Dorothy Dainty, a beautiful little girl and the only child of wealthy parents, has many delightful playmates, and all have reached an age when they should go to school. As no public school is near, a private class is organized to be conducted by Mrs. Grayson, who was Ponce the governess of Dorothy's mann ma. The school proves very entertain- ing, and mostly very pleasant. Tn fact, the only real cloud on Dorothy's hap- piness is the absence of her little friend, Nancy Ferris, who had lived with Mrs. Grayson, and whom the pre- vious volume showed kipnapped and compelled to dance in a variety theater How Nancy's brave efforts to secure a rescue by her kind friends are at last rewarded is an important and very in teresting part of the story. The happi- ness which thus comes to Dorothy and the others makes the best possible erid- ing to a charming story. Price one dol lar; Lee & Shepard, Boston, publish CTS; for sale at all bookstores.

Mr.. Foster, 1t may be said that the
government of Japan at that period
exhibited more liberality to the ma
tons of Europe than the latter eX
hibited to each other" Through the
rapacity of the traders and the mis-
takes OF the missionaries and their ia
natical converts a revulsion of feeling
toward Europeans took place about
and in 1887 the missionaries and all
foreigners We're expelled from the
country, and for more than two hun
dred years thereafter Japan was shut
up, the only Intercourse with Europe
being through one Dutch factory in the
harbor of Nagasaki.
Considering the marvellous intelli-
gence, energy and adaptability of the
japanese, what would have been the
effect on the world if Japan had re-
manned an open country during the two
hundred years of it's eXcluSiVenesS q?
Who can doubt that she would have
become the paramount power of Asia
and would today have been one of the
two or three great powers? Japan has
scarcely more than forty years of de-
velopment in western civilization be-
hind her. Suppose, instead, that she
had two or three hundred years Is it
not likely that she would have been
in the very van of the nations in pOpu-
latiOn, territory and wealth? The yell
low peril would doubtless have be-
come a real menace long before this.
Before an aggressive, fighting and Or
ganzing Japan, China might have
succumbed a hundred years ago. Rus
STA might have been thrown back into
Europe and England might ere this
have been Ousted from India.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

It is Interesting to conjecture what

that neither OF these nations WAS ex-

In mis- "Arlcriran Diplomacy in the

the earliest records of japan give ac-
counts of embassies and intercourse
with Korea and China dating from
from two thousand wears ago to re-

MCBRIDE IS HANDICAPPED.

If Governor Mcbride had desired to
make certain of his reelection and
insure his control of the republican
machine in this state he could easily
have accomplished his purpose by
keeping still about the railroad lobby
and saying nothing in favor of a rail-
road commission. In this way he could
have made sure of the support of
Grosscup, Stevenson and the rest of
the railroad gang and they would have
been glad to give him Il second term
IS governor. The fact that Mcbride
had the courage and conscience to OPP
pose the dominant element III his party
by his strenuous advocacy Of rail-
road commission proves that he is sin
cere in his motives.
However. it is extremely doubtful
whether Mcbride can ever get a re-
publican legislature that Will carry out
the will of The people in spite of the
allurements held out by the lobby.
The people must turn to the demo-
cratic organization, the party of the
plain. common people, to suppress the
lobby and give the people an effective
railway commission.

DARK FOR SMOOT.

The testimony of the head of the
Mormon church, given before the SEN
ate committee, will not help Reed
Smoot to hold his seat in the senate.
SmoOt is one of the twelve apostles of
the Mormon church, and though there
is no doubt that he does not personally
practice pOlygany, the attempt to GUST
him is getting very 'warna' when it
is proved that the head of the church
deliberately violated the laws of mis-
that he preferred to take his chances
With the law rather than abandon mis-
wives, by which he merely means ceaS-
ing to cohabit with them, since there
is nothing in the law requiring him to
cease to support the plural wives foe-
merry taken.
Here IS an organization which be
lieVes in pOlygamy as a religious doc
trine. the injunction to practice which
has merely been suspended. Ii has as
its head Il man VINO is now Il pOlyga-
mist by his OWE confession. His only
excuse is that he has not married
any new wives since the anti-poly-
gamy manifesto of 1890. He con-
fesses that he has lived with these
polygamous wives in violation of the
law. Is there not enough here to jus
tify the worst misgivings as to the
future if Mormonism shall continue
to spread? Is not Reed SmOot. on ac-
count Of his position in the Mormon
church, person unfit for membership
in the senate? Is not this a good time
to strike a deadly body blow at poly
gamy by making it clear that no man
who practices polygamy or is init
mately associated with those who do
shall ever be a member of congress-?
The difficulties of the case are OBJ
VlOuS. SmoOt himself is not Il. poly
gamist and possibly may not believe in
rolygamy, yet he is one of the leaders
of q body that holds that polygamy is
honorable and ordained of God. Under
the circumstances, to reject Smoot
will be equivalent to throwing him
out because he is Mormon. This
might be construed as interference
With religious liberty. But wait
Would we hesitate to exclude from the
senate a member Of church that
preached assassination? Why. then.
should We hesitate to brand as un-'
worthy a member of church that
teaches polygamy? There is a differ
ence between religious liberty and Ii
