The very fact that the book points
out the good qualities Of American life
makes it a good book for Americans to
read. Too much carping criticism is
likely to cool ones patriotism. Here,
then, Is book to fan it and set it
glowing again, and even bring to the
readers face a smile now and then. For
example, a smile Is excusable when one
reads the enthusiasm with which the
abbe speaks Of the piety and religious
devotion of Chicago-"Chicago beautiful,
devout, esthetic intellectual 1t Is
true he punctuates the description
with an Interrogation point, but that is
because he is picturing the surprise Of
his reader that such virtues should be
ascribed to the mighty Babylon which the
commercial kings have building by the
shores of Lake Mich igan.
One enjoys toe. the abbe's character
zation Of the show on achange in New
York city. He descylbes 1t as a ''bar-
barous spectacle" What would he have
said had he seen a. big football game
In his Unsuitable thirst for informa-
tion about things American, Abbe Klein
dr1fted into a co1ored peoples church in
Chicago. One can imagine in a measure
his sense of difference between the SER
NiVC VI q LdIS Se COlupdlly Ol ulSUly eIIO-
tional colored people and the stately SER
vice Of his own church In Paris, espe-
cially between the musical portions of
the services He speaks Of their sing
ing Of hymns ito the tune of a merry
go-round." However, he is touched by
the evident sincerity Of the worshipers
For President Roosevelt the abbe's
admiration, is unbounded. He describes
him as ..this great man Of action =
the most Interesting that have ever
met" l..:...s. -. -. -. 60 ~ -.
These are but flashes Of Able Klein's
mind upon things familiar to the public.
The book Is full Of things quite as much
to the point, and all quite as lucidly
stated. Very naturally the book will
prove Of special interest to members of
the Roman Catholic church, for he has
a great deal to say of the condition OF
that church in America. Nevertheless the
book may be read with pleasure and
profit by anyone.

A Fruitless Effort.

The effort of the saloon men to array
the business interests against the mayor
in' his Sunday closing order will not
amount to much. The business inter
ests are not ON the side Of the saloon in
this controversy, cannot afford to be,
cannot be expected to be. The saloon
business contributes nothing to the busi-
ness prosperity Of the city on Sunday or
any other day. On the contrary, it is a
distinct detriment and is 50 regarded
nowadays by the largest business con-
Germs everywhere. Railroads, banks,
commercial houses, almost every impor-
tant kind Of business not Only lays re-
strictions upon the use Of intoxicants
on the part Of their employees, but the
young man who indulges the liquor
habit carries a tremendous handicap In
his struggle for recognition and sue
cess in the business world.
Furthermore, the efforts Of the saloon
interests to secure signers to petitions
and in other ways array business inter
ests against the mayors Sunday
ang order, in the hope Of inducing him
Go reseind it, are absolutely hopeless.
No amount of pressure or influence Of
that kind that the saloon interests can
bring to bear upon the mayor will ever
charge that order. If he were not
strong enough to stand by it himself, he
has already received such assurances of
approval and support Of the people Of
this community as can, never be
matched in strength and volume by any
pressure brought to bear by the saloon
interests.
If the saloon men hope for a modifca-
tion Of the order they are not we'll ad-
vised. If Mayor Jones were weak
enough to consider it he would lay. him
self liable to impes chment the moment
he yielded. The saloon men might as
well make up their minds now that the
closing order goes as long as D. P. Jones
is mayor; and perhaps they do not hope
for anything more than to make capital
against him or anyone who stands for
Sunday closing in the next campaign,
That s a game, however, at which two
sides can play. IF this is the begin
ming of the campaign Of 1906 it will do
ne harm to have it definitely understood
on both sides. zE / =.

POEMS OF CHILDHoOD.-To every
reader who loves little tots grown larger.
Chronicles of the Little Tot, by Edmund
Vance Cook, will prove interesting. The
author knows little folk and their ways
and has made his poetical forms and
fancies, or better, his facts, harmonize
admirably. The book is illustrated in
colors by Clyde o. De Land. The cover
bears a juvenile color print sure to take
and please the eye. The book is one to
keep In mind for the Christmas season.

THE MAGAZINES

Mark Twain on Overspeedlng Autoists.
Mark Twain has taken up the cudgels
against overspeeding autoists, and in a
characteristic letter in Harpers Weekly
he proposes a novel means Of detecting
and Furnishing them. The law, he says,
dresses convict in the garb which
makes him easily distinguishable from any
moving thing In the world at hundred
and twenty-five yards, except a zebra
If he escapes in those clothes he cannot
get far He suggests that this prin-
ciple be extended to include "his brother
criminal, the Overspeeder,' who every
day. throughout America, runs over
somebody and escapes. At present, he
points out, the automobile numbers are
so small that ordinary eyes cannot read
them upon a swiftly receding machine
at distance of hundred feet. He sug-
gests enlarging the figures, making them
readable at a hundred yards. For Of
fenses Of overspeeding he would have the
figures enlarged, as a penalty, In place of
a fine-to be re-enlarged for each sub
sequent offense. with auto numbers
readable as far as one could tell con-
vict from a barberpole, none of these
criminals could run over a person and
escape"

John Anderson & Co. of Chicago have just
issued an edition Of Bjornson's ''Synnoye Sol
bakken,' edited by DR.. George T. Flon, the pro-
fessor Of Scandinavian languages and literatures
in the state university Of Iowa. The book Is
very well prepared volume of 200 pages, with
an Introduction, notes and vocabulary prepared
by DR.. Flon. Strange to say, 1t is the first
American edition of Norwegian text for school
or college use. ''Synnove Solbakken'' is at once
one of the prettiest Of Bjornsons peasant stories
and occupies most interesting place in the lit
erary history of Norway.

A Great Speech.

Attention is called to Senator Knox 's
speech published in another column. It
is not necessary here to rehearse the
arguments which he makes so concise]y
and so clearly. Repetition could not i'm
prove the form in which he has pre-
sented them. Mr.. Knox is great law
yer. He not only knows the president 's
mind in this matter of rate regulation,
but he knows the subject thoroly from
professional experience. He knows the
railroad side as well as the government
side, and one Of the most significant par
agraphs in his speech is his statement
that the best railroad conscience of the
country does not approve the e1trava-
giant propaganda now being carried on
against the president and his railroad
policy. Certainly the railroads have
gained nothing by their attempt to pack
the Chicago convention and the organ
ization they have effected of q liter
ary bureau to food the country with lit
erary matter in their behalf is great
waste Of energy. They may delay, but
they will not defeat the creation Of an
agency, acting for the government, with
power not to initiate rate schedules, but
to correct unjust and unreasonable
charges where made by public carriers.

Two very pertinent contributions in
the October number Of Forestry and
Irrigation are those of Eugene 8.
Bruce, forestry inspector, and. Profess
sor Green of the state university. Mr..
Bruce discusses the charge that, in max
ing up the reservation about Cass Lake
the forestry people injured the town
by taking an undue amount of agricul-
tural lands. He shows that the. lowest
percentage of so-called agricultural
lands, in the reservation is in the town
ships which border on Cass Lake. Pro
fessor Green, in his article, disposes Of,
the charge Of the robbing Of posterity
Of its chance to farm about Cass and
Leech lakes by professional examina-
ticn Of the character Of the soil. He
says: u
"The land Is generally sandy thru
out the larger part of the reservation,
and under present conditions it is very
doubtful if there is any considerable
area that can be proftably used for
agriculture. Personally T have never
seen any profitable agriculture carried
on on such land in Minnesota
The soil is water sieve, as he shows
by the fact that while when he visited
the region the clay soils of northern
Minnesota were nearly impossible, the
sandy region about Cass lake, which
had had heavy rains also, was dry and
dusty. - =. .....s. =
oL ~.
and Leech Lakes Professor Green be-
lieves have a great future, but their
development and value will not be in
the line Of agriculture. They will be
most proftably developed as summer
resort, in his Judgment. Unexcelled
bathing beaches, romantic waters for
| canoeing, expansive tracts for steam
| boating and wonderful. sites for cot
tages and hotels, point the future Of
she region rather than the energy of
the commercial element in robbing the
| shores Of their trees. ~
:. This future is guaranteed by the Nor
ris law, which not only reserved por-
tion Of the pine for reseeding on large
area, but reserved the timber on the
principal points and islands On Leech
and Cass lakes and on ten sections to
be selected. These, have been selected
and consist Of lots around the larger
lakes, which are thus partially sur
rounded by primeval forest. Some day
the region favored by this forest re-
serve will find it not only a source of
greater wealth than the use of the
land and the timber at t.le present time
could produce, but a source Of perma-
nent and increasing profit to the people
! who inhabit that section. +,
