McCIure's for April.

McClure's for April contains the first
of series of articles on THE Enemies
of the Republic" by Lincoln Steffens,
which will consider the disagreement
OF states. 1t takes up Missouri and gives
the reader a shock he will not soon
forget. 1t is almost paralyzing in its
relentless array of fact and logic con-
corning corruption as a custom, sys-
tenn, a revolution in government. 1t is
the bride giver, not the bribe-taker, who
is really responsible for the bad govern
ment, Mr.. Steffens points out. The
successful business man, the captain of
industry, is the man to catch, and MIR.
Steffens proceeds to catch him. In
graphic, fearless words he tells the story
of corruption's work and rule in Mis-
souri,, of the barter of public interest to
the great trusts by the peoples servants,
of the big business men who buy and the
politicians who sell a peoples rights,
their very government itself. Mr.
Steffens' article is more than startling,
it is staggering in its frank, uncov-
ering of the plain but alarming truth.
Ida NJ. Tarbell follows close with an
account of the alleged breaking up of
the Trust" in her History of the Stand
ard Oil Company She gives the results
of legislative Investigations and court
proceedings against the company which
forced it into publicity and reorganiza-
ton. John d. Rockefeller's testimony
in these cases is described in such a
manner as to present clearly his limita-
tions both in ethics and humor. Miss
Tarbell simply quotes Mr.. Rockefeller.
His own words fix and define him. As
usual, Miss Tarbell deals only with the
facts. They tell their own story and
shape their own conclusions.

articles for the press. On the other

away the poor writers with club. And

rather than hurt the feelings of poor
writer's that the editor is often con-

WRITTEN FEB. Is, 1904

Bear OF the North, awake, awake,
Nor longer winter slumber take
In eastern waters busy Japs
Rudely disturb hIbernal maps;
Already they have scratched your skin,
And keen has been the pain within.
Full time your lethargy to shake;
Bear of the North, awake, awakel
Bear of the North, stretch forth your paws,
Armed with their formidable clawsl
On Japan sea and Yellow sea
Triumphant sails the Japanee.
Your ships are locked in ice embrace,
But soon these letters will unlace.
And then, without one moments pause,
Bear OF the North, reach out your claws!
Bear OF the North, on sea or land
The victory is at your command
God fights on sides of armies strong,
And triumphs unto such belong.
Unloose your fleets, unloose your men,
And never doubt the issue thenl
The victory on land or sea,
Bear OF the North, belongs to theel
Arouse, arouse, Bear of the North,
And put your utmost powers forth
Scatter like fiocks OF frightened geese
These too presumptuous Japanesel
Give man for man, or three for one,
And still the conflict will be won.
Take all superior strength allows;
Bear of the North, arouse. aroused
But when the hour OF triumph comes,
Bear OF the North. think OF the homes
That desolated all may be
BY over Iruel mastery
Remember they were gallant foes,
And from good cause the war arose;
Rest with your victory content;
Bear OF the North be lenientl

Never despise small savings. Here is
an illustration: Threefourths of a mill
seems a very small sum, but this re-
presents the increased cost to move a ton
of freight mile on the Pennsylvania
system as compared with 1899 when it
cost the road 81 = mills. This means an
increased expenditure in operating ex-
penses of $4,000 600. By the way. it
may interest our readers to know that
this great system has expended 100000
600 in the past three years to improve its
property, in new equipments, sidings,
bridges, ETC., and now finds itself unable
to handle all the traffic offered. 1t now
carries nearly 20 per cent of all the rail
road traffic in the United States and
earns IA per cent of the railroad
revenue.

Some weeks ago the Banner had
little to say about doctors and what it
consideres the foolish and sinful system

long efforts of thousands of the ablest

the cure of disease instead of giving the
same effort to its prevention.

The brilliant manner in which the
publishers of Everybody's Magazine
have handled the subject of the st.
Louis Exposition affords a clue to the
success of the publication. The April
number opens with an article on 1.-THE
Greatest Worlds Fair" and the two
men most able to do the subject justice
have treated it. David r. Francis,
president of the Exposition Company,
furnishes the text, and Vernon Howe
Bailey, the distinguished young artist,
has done the illustrations. One is told
and shown in the most interesting way,
Just what to expect at st. Louis in May,
and the prospect is amazing. This,
however, is but one good feature in a
varied number. DR.. Newell Dwight
Hills contributes most important
article on the subject of consolidating
the Churches" This is in advocacy of
applying the trust idea to the denomina-
tions, and is about as radical and revolu-
tionary a project as Christianity has
had before it in generations. Still
another instance of good editing is a
character sketch of ArthuriPue German.
The manly statesman's life has been
written a hundred times, but here's
really brilliant sketch of the man, by
E. NJ. Kingsbury, who told so amusingly
two months ago, the strange story of
John w. Gates. 1t may be added that
the fiction in this number is capital,
especially the pampas story by William
Bulfin.

spoke of Splan as 1.-The irrepressible. "
1t used to be equal to whole show to
hear him entertain the boys coming
down the Grand Circuit. Every night,
at the best hotel in the place, John
would be the center of an admiring
crowd. He saemed to have no taste for
bar-rooms, billiard-rooms or theatres,
but was content to sit through long
evening, until midnight or later, swap
ping lies, and telling stories, and his
powers of repartee were wonderful.
Not an educated man, he had great
command of the Kings English all the
same, and his native wit, powers of
observation and varied experiences made
him an unsurpassed rdcOnteur. He
always had the floor in such gatherings.
His wife, petite and pretty brunette,
always accompanied him through the
Circuit, and was his trusted counsellor.
He spoke of her as Little Splan' with
out exception. If he had any important
matter of business to decide he would
say: II guess I'll go and see what Little
Splan thinks about it," Many good
stories are told illustrating his style of
wit. Once a multi-millionaire, Com. n.
w. Kittson, of Minnesota, was talking
with him in a Chicago hotel. The Com
modore had recently started breeding
farm ON a grand scale, and the position
of superintendent was much sought
after, and Splan was among the appli-
cants. The conversation between the
two men was on this subject. AT last
Com. Kittson said, in a deliberate,
thoughtful, summing-up tone, "Well,
John, have no doubt of your ability"

rascality, do your replied Splan. He
got the job.
Once he was driving a horse in a race
that had easily the speed of the field and
could have won hands down. The
owner was a bit sly, however, and came
to John, before. the start, and said, "My
horse is such a favorite that | can't get
my money on him to advantage, and /
reckon you had better lay up the first
heat"
"All right" said John, and he did it,
The owner came again, and suggested
laying up the second heat, also in order
to get still better odds, and this was
also done, after which the owner did
not see Splan, presuming that he would
go on and win. But John, seeing how
things were going, and not wishing to
ing too much speed after slowing up as
he had, had bought pools on the field
against the horse he was driving, and he
laid up the third heat also, losing the
race. The enraged owner could not
believe his eyes. In CONSERVATION he
rushed to Splan exclaiming, MY God
what have you done! You have ruined
me! You have ruined me! Ny last
dollar was in the box on my horse"
"Well, said Splan, with his inimitablt
