The Color Line-By William Benjamin
Smith. Mcclure, Phillips & Co. For

company.
The writer of this most interesting
argument is connected with Tulane
university and has given much time
and study TO the negro question. and
presents-the southern side of it in this
volume. In his foreword he says:
The following pages attempt a dis
cussion of the most important question
that is likely to engage the attention
of the American people for many years
and even generations to come. Com
pared with the vital matter of pure
blood, all other matters, as of tariff, of
currency, of subsidies, of civil serv-
ice, of labor and capital, OF education.
of forestry, OF science and art, and
even of religion, sink into insignifl-
canoe. For, to judge by the past,
there is scarcely any conceivable ed
vocational or scientific or governmental
or social or religious polity under
which the pure strain of Caucasian
bloo6-might not live and thrive and
achieve great things for history and
humanity; on the other hand, there is
no reason to believe that any kind or
degree of institutional excellence could
permanently stay the race decadence
that would follow surely lin the wake
OF any considerable contamination of
that blood by the blood of Africa"
Mr.. Smith begins his chapters with
two transposed scriptural lines, which
seem to cover all the points made in
his contention, namely: Let no man
join together what God hath put asun-
der" He claims that the reason the
south has been and will always be un-
alterably opposed to social equality of
white people and negroes is because it
leads inevitably to intermarriage, and

What to Be

Be cheerful. optimistic.
Be willing TO forbear
With every kind Of trouble
And never TO despair.
Be free from all suspicion,
Seek no motive for the act.
Accept all things with kindness,
Judiciousness and tact.
Be kind TO every mortal,
But yet select few
To bear the name of friendship
And tread the road with you.
And you will find that living
is not a dreary bore.
And life has many blessings
You did not know before.

miscegenation leads to the downfall of
the white race. He recounts what his
tory tells us of the results of inter
mixture of races and proves the in
feriority of the black man physically,
ethnologicaily, morally and mentally.
He admits the advancement of indi-
vidual negroes, but claims that with
one or two exceptions the able men Of
that race are mulattoes. and their abil-
ity is due to the infusion of white
blood. Mr.. Smith refers TO and an
swers all arguments which have been
advanced for giving social equality to
the negro and upholds the south as
being absolutely reasonable and sane
in its course regarding him. The book
is apparently unanswerable and pre-
sents facts and figures calculated TO
give pause to many negro enthusiasts
in the north who speak without actual
experience.

Doubleday, Page & Co. For sale by st.
Paul Book and Stationery company.
"Freckles" is the most refreshing
book which has come to this office in
a long time. There is nothing great,
smart" or extraordinary about il or
the characters, but it tells story of
the reward of virtue and honesty which
cannot fail to appeal. F'reckles is
waif brought up-or dragged up-at a
Chicago founding home, and he has
but one hand. He is given the impress
sion by some heartleSs person that his
own mother MANNED him and threw
him out on the street 10 die. This ter
rible story embitters his already bitter
childhood, and when he gets a chance
he runs away and meets with his first
friend. This is Mclean. the boss of
lumber camp in Michigan, who gives
Freckles a chance and sets him to
guard the big trees in the Limberlost.
Freckles proves himself 10 be a faith
full guard, and in spite OF his infirmity
he wins the regard OF his employer and
more, his love. The confidence and
love given by Mclean to the boy be-
cause of his fine qualities and strict
honesty awaken his soul, and il ex-
pands under the genial influence of
hard work and happiness until his life
becomes a thing OF JOY. He saves his
money, buys books and educates himself
and becomes the most popular and
trusted man in that region. The beau
tiful part OF the story is his love for
the Angel, as Freckles calls the girl
who was the first TO come into his
rough life. Their love story is idyllic,
and when he risks his life 10 save her
from the tree which falls upon him,
and is almost killed in so doing, her
love for him triumphs and she has him
taken to,a Chicago hospital where the

Of? ." This is but one argu-
ment of many which the writer uses
to prove that the highly cultivated
woman is less likely to make the best
wife and mother, through no particular
fault of her own, but merely as nat
ural consequence of her education.
Some of the arguments advanced by
this writer will not appeal very greatly
to women, even granting that the num-
Der of homes is decreasing. but that
many modern women do not care to
marry and accept domestic response
bilities cannot be denied.
Maurice Francis Egan, whose por-
trait appears on this page, poet and
writer of fiction, was born in Philadel-
phia in 1852. He completed the usual
classical course at college and took
an additional course in philosophy in
Georgetown university. He began the
study of law, but soon dropped IL to
become one of the regular contributors
to the Saturday Evening Post. Going
TO New York, Mr.. Egan became ed
itor of the New York Freeman's Jour-
nal and a frequent writer for Appin-
colts Magazine, the Century, the
North American Review. the New
York Sun and other periodicals in this
country and abroad. For over eight
years he was professor of English lit
erature in the University of Notre
Dame, Indiana, and for the last ten
years he has been professor of COM
parative literature in English in the
Catholic university, Washington. Mr..
Egan's friends regard his Sexton Ma
ginnis" stories, now appearing in the
Century, as representing his best prose
qualities. Among the admirers of
these stories are President Roosevelt,
who has openly complimented the au-
thor, and the French ambassador, who
recently inscribed his latest volume in
honor of Maginnis.

There is not much doubt that these
very excellent tales of political life
will be read with avidity, for stories
which concern politics are just now
very popular. They are merely Incl
dents In the lives OF the boss of a ward
or some happening in legislative
body, but they bear the impress of
reality. Most of them have appeared
In magazines, but that by no means
detracts from their value when collect
ed in book Perhaps the most de-
lightful of these stories is the one en-
titled Mrs. Protheroe," and concerns
the enchanting of Senator Rawlins
The latter was from the small town
of Stackpole, which he represented in
the state senate, and while he had
been very quiet heretofore, when the
bill licensing baseball on Sundays
came up he was aroused for the first
time and made a stirring speech
against the Dissertation of the Lords
day. Then he met Mrs. Protheroe.
She was the most beautiful and fasci-
mating of women, and after she had
taken him driving in her automobile
and convinced him that he was wrong
about Sunday baseball, because so
many men are likely TO go to worse
places on Sunday afternoon, she said,
he was sure that in her he had met his
fate. She completed his conquest at
the governors reception and even let
him kiss her after he had promised to
make another speech, this time in IA
vor of the bill This he did, bringing
the jeers of his followers upon him.
