The Sea- Wolf.


In "WoLF LARSON Jack London has created
unique character-a character which seldom has a
parallel in fiction real life. The author depicts
life on board sealer. Wolf Larson the captain is
the hero of the story; and from the opening chapter
where he knocks down Leach, the cabin boy, to it's
close the story is repete with dramatic situations
The fight in the forecastle showed this grotesque
at his best. A giant in stature, fearless a
lion, and with the strength of hercules, he energies
from the conflict like the irresistible upheaval of
volcano.
There is an indefnable trait about this story
which is fascinating Sometimes this peculiar fas-
cnation exists in the philosophical dscourses he has
with his friend, Van Weyden. Again the reader is
held enthralled and wonders what cruelty this
primitive uncouth savage will commit. In this re-
markable delineaton of human nature brutality
the gamut. Nothing ever written surpasses the
diabolicalness of this terrible However,
there were moments when he showed human compass
sion, but he rarely practiced it, When the cook was
logged and the shark hove in sight, Wolf Larson
strained every fibre of his being to the cook
from his perilous position. But this feeting solicit
tude is Offset by the in which he allowed two
of his sailors to drown after hooking them for
several hours
Wolf Larson lived like vulture and died as
such. Grim, unreenting, unforgiven, and destruc-
tive to the last Those who like the strenuous life
in its virulent form will be repaid by reading the
Sea- Wolf. There is not page in the whole book
but what describes encounters or deaths.

PROTECTING Juveniles.


AN AssEMBLYMAN of New York State is advocat-
ing measure which provides for the suppression
of cheap ve-cent novels To support his contention
he alluded to several confessions of recent date made
by youthful criminals who admitted that the reading
of such literature was the indirect of their
downfall This apostle of reform believes that a
rigid censorship should be established for the pur-
pose of protecting immature minds from this class of
reading. Such law cannot be made operative. 1t
is too easily evaded.
In commenting on the proposed measure the In
suunce Monitor of New York says: ''The criminal
classes in this country increasing faster than the
population. Thefts and burglares yearly becom-
ing more numerous. The great majority Of these
crimes committed by young men, and large per-
centage of them by youths who are either minors OF
just past their majority. goodly proportion OF
these youths receive the inspiration to their
from two notorious plays in which crime is
held up as heroic, and dime novels These two are
responsible for filling ails and houses of correc
ton with future outcasts. If unrestrained license
to convert youth into criminals is essential to the
spirit of liberty, the nation better afford moder
ate despotism which shall guard the morals of its
rising generation"

Life Timers to be POrOZed.

FEW weeks ago mentioned the fact that the
Texas legislature had under consideration bill
which provided for the parole of life prisoners.
Since them however the bill has passed both houses
of the Legislature and has been signed by the COVER
nor The provisions of this new legislation very
liberal Under the Texas law just passed. life timers
may be paroled after serving ten and fifteen years.
Ten years for second and fifteen years for first de-
gree indictments
In passing parole law which includes life
prisoners within its scope Texas has made step far
in advance of any other state in the Union Mime
sofa grants life prisoners parole after they have
served thirty yoar~ With thie exception no
other state has parole laws which include life
prisoners.
Since Texas has established precedent, nc
doubt other states will be willing to grant forgiveness
to these forsaken men and not let them wait until
they arrive at Gods judgment seat before receiving
this boon.
