Free America.

One of the most valuable cOntrlbu-
tions to the economic literature OF the
present day is Free America" con-
tanning something over two hundred
pages and published by l.. S. Dickey
& Co. 70 Dearborn street, Chicago. 1t
sells in paper cover for Is cents. 1t
is the work of Bolton Hall, who has
contributed many valuable essays upon
the economic conditions in America.
He dedicates his book ITO all those
who are poor, and wish to become
rich: or who are rich. and wish to be-
come richer" His terse introduction
set forth in the Purpose Of this book
follows:
This book is not an appeal merely
to thoughtful people. The great ma
iority of men do not think. 1t is not
intended for scientific economists.
There are no scientific economists. 1t
does not urge serious study OF the
great problems for which solution is
given. The average man never Sc
riously studies any question. 1t is not
an address to the sympathetic and UNI
selfish. People as rule are selfish,
and somewhat Indifferent to the con-
dition of their fellowmen. 1t is not a
| plea for justice, or for human rights
now denied by our laws. Those abb
stractions have too little weight in
the practical affairs of life. 1t does not
present existing conditions as result
| ing from a conspiracy of the few
against the many 1t does not assume
| that mankind is divided into good
neople and rogues. There are two
classes but they are the clever people
and the stupid"
"Yet, he says, "as the purpose of this
book is to hasten the breaking down
Of the artificial barriers with which
men in their ignorance have shut
themselves out of opportunities for
happiness. use such arguments as
appeal to the largest number
/ Mr. Hall shows the enormous pro-
duction of wealth annually in the
United States. it's unfair distribution
among the people through the opera
ton of unjust laws. and he points out
very clearly the means for correcting
the evil. He closes his interesting
| book with a chapter on Doing some

for Mr.. Tibbles' indictment OF New
yorl, as the home of queer people. In
dispatch from Lincoln, Neb, he is
quoted as follows:
..Cranks grow as thick as hops in
New York. They forced themselves
into my rooms and outlined hundreds
of schemes to raise millions OF dollars
tn belp the cause. They followed me
over the city and waylaid me at every
turn. One stylishly dressed woman in

one of them. She followed me for three
DAYS. had applications by the score
for cabinet positions. Several cranks
wanted to be made secretary OF rail-

their own. On all sides we were forced
TO run the gauntlet OF Grants, and II

them sometimes

"Thnf Wouldn't Be Like Tom"
When night winds famed my feyered
face.
Not very long ago,
I dreamt that Tibbles won the race,
That Parker's cake was dough;
That Fairbanks couldn't make the
run
But early lost his head
That Teddy lost. and Watson won.
And Gassaway was dead.
There stood Tom Tibbles fun of glee,
But when / scraped and bowed,
He wouldn't even look at me.
The humblest Of the crowd.
He wore black, claw-hammer coat,
, A vest cut low before,
A collar wider than his throat,
Tan shoes right from the store.
And that immortal silken tile
That rested on his brow;
The picture one of grace and style
almost see him now.
Said I, "Old man, come to share
Your joy, If not denied
He gave me then the stony stare
And not thing beside.
He seemed to be: too proud to speak,
Too monstrOusly austere,
And so | quickly made sneak
The frigid atmosphere
CONCEALED the blood that courses
through
This palpitating heart;
1t made me. feel depressed and blue,
And woke me with start.

To make my spirit calm;
Then said I. with conscious smile,
