THE UNEASY CHAIR

THE CONFLICT OF THE SPIRITUAL
WITH THE CARNAL.-The world-old
conflict Of the spiritual with the carnal
Is the center Of interest In Robert HIGH
ems new book, The Garden Of Allah.
The garden Of Allah is the Saharah. On
its edge are set down man and wo-
man, strangers to zach other. The man
has come to drown, in the vast silence of
the desert, memories of monkish vows
and duties kept and observed faithfully,
even gladly, for twenty years, only to- be
abandoned at last in answer to the al
lurements of the outside world. The wo-
man has come to find peace from the I'M
rest Of early womanhood, to find and
know her own soul. These two become
acquainted, they love. they marry, but

Governor Johnson showed his "spunk"
in the Claggett incident, and under the
circumstances no one can blame him for
coming down hard. The wonder is that
the members Of the capitol commission,
knowing the reasons the governor had for
his opposition, should have attempted to
foist their political selection on him and
on the state. Apparently they did not
back down because OF awakened con-
science; but because the governor showed
them that he held the whip hand and
would use it, #. they had been able to
force Claggett's election they would have
done so, committing an act Of discourtesy
that would have been a disgrace to the
state, Think what a story that would
have made for the yellow journals, under
the head, Governors Traducer Rules His
Capitol" If the commissioners who con-
templated such small politics are not
ashamed Of it, we are ashamed for them.

In days like these when SO many wo-

every sweet girl graduate who has writ

the question of whether it pays to be a

In 1t she includes number of interesting

it certainly does pay to be a literary wo-

The Country's Crop Prospects.

To get line upon the commercial
outlook for the country one can do no
better just at present than to watch the
weather. Business is going to expand
largely in proportion to the production
Of new, wealth. Recently 1t has been
too cold for best progress in the north
west, but warmer weather is due and
the crop promise on the whole is high
ly favorable. The southwest shows up
splendidly and to date everything indi-
Gates that there will be an enormous
outturn from the farms and that next
fall will show the marketing facilities
of the country taxed to handle the stuff.
No assurance is vouchsafed that this
will come out all right, but it is the
promise at this time.
One note Of apprehension is raised in
the southwest. In four years out of
five weather extremes have cut the win
ter wheat yield materially from the
early promise and there is fear lest this
follow again this season. Last summer
try got too much rain and with floods
and overfows a considerable part Of the
acreage, sown in the fall preceding,
was finally abandoned. Now it is a
different story. The fear is expressed
that there will not be enough moisture
that a hot and dry summer is ahead
of us.
Rains have fallen over several states
but no such good soakers as the country
| needs. However, a day or two may
bring relief.
Meanwhile the situation is not alarm
attention. For five months to March 1
there was a, deficiency in precipitation
shown by the official weather reports Of
SIG inches in Missouri, 2.30 in Illinois
and $50 in Indiana. The Ohio valley
has been dry, Ohio showing 5.28 Inches
less than normal for the period. Preci-
pitation since March has kept the
country going, but has not made up the
deficiency.
One good warm soaking rain extend
ing from the Wisconsin-Iowa line
south, and taking in the western Ohio
valley would do much to reassure the
winter wheat farmers, who, while not.
yet up to the stage of nervousness,
are beginning to complain a little.
Kansas is the saver. That state,
usually as dry as any, to put it mildly,
has had on the whole .36 inches more
rain than the average.
Massa chusetts, having annual elections,
is already preparing for the state cam
| paign this fall. Governor Douglas, who
will undoubtedly be the democratic nomi-
nee, will probably be opposed by Curtis
Guild, Jr, the republican lieutenant gov
ernor. The democratic occupant of, the

Mr.. Kitchens has told a story Of very
exceptional strength. The atmosphere,
the color, the sounds and the silences, the
heat and the chill, the storm and the calm,
the darkness and the light, and the life
of the desert-all are there, things to
feel rather than to read Of and amid
these destiny moves Dominf and Boris
with a sure hand-as sure as the hand of
tate In life. Dominf is one Of the finest
women In recent fiction. Boris as a man
is shadowy, yet such a man as a monas-
terry might easily produce. The author
has not altogether succeeded, however
in bringing out the evidences Of that
strength which he tells us is there. The
fine thing about the book is the final tri-
umph Of the spiritual, Of the unconauer,
able soul, in each. To have permitted any,
thing else would have been to ruin thu
story. Some portions might we'll have
been omitted, but Mr.. Hichens' ending is
the only one that could have been worthy
the situation and the high character Of the
book almost thruout, and should be a
warrant for the books survival after many
other books Of the day shall have passed
