RECKLESS LAW-MAKING.

Another example of idiotic as well as mischievous law-making comes to us from Fall River, Mass. In this in- stance 1t is not law made by a Legisla- ture, but by a Commission, really not a law-making body at all, but one which takes on itself the prerogative of making ordinances or regulations which are intended to have all the force and effect of laws. The one to which particular reference is had is regu- lation that women shall not be allowed in liquor saloons.
 Aside from the fact that grave doubts are expressed as to the power of the commission to make or enforce such a law, it ought to be apparent that legis- lation of this kind is wholly wrong. To argue in attenuation of such laws that a woman ought not to enter sa- loon is no defence at all. For that matter. there are many good people who tell us that men ought to keep out of them, but we have not heard of the most extreme temperance advo- cate claiming that laws should be en- acted to prevent men from going into regularly licensed salons. Yet such a law would be as just as the other. The law has no more right to prohibit a woman entering such places than it has to keep the man out. As The New Bedford Standard puts it, this Commis- sion was formed to execute the laws. "end when they overstep that function they are as much lawless as the most reckless rumseller who violates the leg islation concerning his license. In some respects they are worse. for they set an example of contempt of the law which is the more dangerous because 1t Is made by the officers of the law"

In whatever form the increase of revenue is proposed, 1t will involve con sideration of the tariff. If the framing of aAmeasure falls into the hands of the stand -patters, and they attempt the in crease of revenue by additions to the internal revenue system, while letting the Dingley tariff alone, instant and vigorous remonstrance and opposition will arise from an influential element of the Republican party, even if no account whatever is made of the Democ- racy. Very likely the interests which want no Interference with the taritf as it is will propose that recourse be had to increased taxes on beer and the return to internal revenue stamps. But they need not think that such propo- sition will pass without exciting an- tagonism. These taxes are, by virtue of tradition, considered as war taxes and their imposition in time of peace will find formidable opposition which will make the most Of the charge that tinuing protection to already over-pro- tected interests.

 wide interest has been aroused in Ihomas Dixon's new book, The Clans presentation of the the Ka Rr'' Kla9 laaeqgatS RiaS in American fiction. Mir. Dixon con. tributes an interesting preface to this novel which characteristically sets forth the motive of all his Southern books. Mir. Dixon says:
 The Clansman' Is the second book or series of historical novels planned on the race conflict. The Leopard's Spots was the statement in bistorjcaI outline of the condition of the negro from the enfranchisement to the dis franchisement The Clansman' devel. ops the true story of the Ru Klux kIan which overturned the Revolution Regime. I have sought to preserve in this romance both the letter and the spirit of this remarkable period. The men who enact the drama of fierce re- venge into which have woven a double love story are historical figures. have merely changed their names without taking a liberty with any es- sential historic fact. ~4
 Tn the darkest hour of the life of the South, when her wounded people lay helpless amid rags and ashes un- der the beak and talon of the Vulture. suddenly from the mists of the noun tains appeared a white cloud the size of mans hand. It grew until It's mantle of mystery enfolded the strick- en earth and sky. An Invisible Elm pire' had risen from the field of Death and challenged the Visible to mortal combat.
 How the young South, led by the reincarnated souls of the Clansmen of Old Scotland, went forth under this cover and against overwhelming odds. daring exile, Imprisonment, and a fel- on's death, save4 the life of a people. forms one of the most dramatic chap ters in the history of the Aryan race.

 MT. Dixon in ''The Clansman," in- terprets for the first time In fiction the real spirit and purpose of the KU Klux Klan.

death reached her at the very moment when her husband was expiring in heI arms. She wrote the following poem which Longfellow translates thus from the French:
 In accents sad and low,
 And tones of soft lament, I breathe the bitterness of woe Der this sad chastisement. With many @ mournful sigh The days of youth steal by. Was e'er such stern decree
 Of unrelenting fate? Did merciless diversity
 Fer blight so fair a state, As mine, whose heart and eye In bier and cofin lie2 Who in the gentle spring
 And blossom of my years, Must bear mlsfortune's piercing sting Sadness. and grief and tears; Thoughts. that alone inspire Regret and soft desire, What once was blythe and gay Changed into grief see; The glad and glorious light of day Is darkness unto me. The world--the world. has nought That claims a passing thought. Deep in my heart and eye
 A form and image shine, Which shadow forth wan misery On this pale cheek of mine, Hinged with the violets blue, Which is Loves favOrite hue.  Where'er my footsteps stray, In mead or wooded vale, Whetfiher beneath the dawn of day Or evening twilight pale, still. still my thoughts ascend. To my departed friend If towards home above,
 raise my mournful sight, I meet his gentle look of love Tn every cloud of white; But straight the watery cloud Changes to tomb and shroud.
  when midnight hovers near, And slumber seals mine eyes, His voice still whispers in mine ear, His form beside me lies. In labor, in repose, My heart his presence knows.

The Chronicles of Don O.

Something doing always with Don o. There is an event to every page. Don 0 is a unique blend of sardonic humor. cruelty, grace and unfiinchlng courage.
 He is an entirely up-to-date bandit.
 His deeds have all the adventurous play of those of the bandits of olden days. He conducts his robberies with all the skill of latter day trust pres ident.
 He was of that highest class of | brigands known as the 'Sequestra- l dores." His marvellous adventures are told l with all the detail and verisimilitude | that Is given to 8 report of big deal in Wall Street
 The authors admit, however. that such a career could not be so profitably pursued in England or America. But | in Spain 1t is always tomorrow" Here the authors pause for a bit of rico-philosophizing "If Provi- dence had seen fit to remove that fa- | tai manana from the Spanish vocaou- lary and the Spanish mind, the may
 might have been differently colored | today"
 There is not much time for philoso- phizing in this book.
 There are no end of string incidents. The story of how the Englishman's honor won his ransom opens the book
 There are ten more exciting adven- tues of the lordly bandit. And then the books closes with Don Q's conquest of an army. With a touch of his usual delicious | sarcasm Don Q charges his beloved Labor to write the story of his deeds, adding: T have left you a large sum to engage an adequate illustrator"
 Don o must have spent season among the publishing houses of New York, where a three dollar squib finds a fifty dollar illustration to accompany 1t into print.
 There is a surprise to every para graph.
 The old reprobate Is full of humor and courtly grace.
 He robs his captives of their hearts as of their purses. A book that whets the jaded appetite of the reader and keeps him eagerly turning the pages.

DOes England Honor LlteraEureS


 The London correspondent of one of our great Western dailies makes the interesting point that authorship Is not honored in England as it is in oth- CT countries. He says:
 'How is 1t that in England literary men are held in such poor account, and in other couptries they are esteemed are given hohors and held in honor, are even, too, judged worthy of a place in the management of affairs2 One looOks to France and sees writ- CTS holding prominent office there; to Norway. and finds it's greatest man a novelist; to America. and sees editors given place and journalists invited to dine at the White House; but here the very last position in which you would look for a missing author Is near the seat of power. It used not to be so.'
 The correspondent goes on to cite Chaucer, Milton, Addison. Steele, Swift, Bulwer Lytton, Macaulay, etc.
 It ia the sort of argument that is as easily demolished as sustained. We do not know yet what name the living writers may make for themselves eith- CT in statecraft or in literatue. Lord Rosebery's Life of Napoleon is con- sidered one of the greatest hiographi- cal studies of our day. Sir Gilbert Park CT whose Right of Way and Ladder Of Swords rank among the most popular of novsIs. has probably a career be- fore him in Parliament. Sir Conan Doyle has just come to the front in politics since the outh-Afriean war. and his Sherlock Holmes is a classic. A. E. w. Mason. author Of The Truants is running for Parliament. History is not all made yet. and who knows what events may call forth the political tall ents of these men7

 Zelda is a heroine out of the ordi- nary. She is finely offset by the petite and pretty cousin Olive.
 Old Kidney Merriam is truly the hero of the tale. a brusQue, fine old fellow of the old school whom one would expect to find in Virginia rath- CT than in Ohio.
 The story runs happily through a season of amateur theatrica1s. a sum- mer on a farm, a boom in a new Wes- tern city, to loves usual goal: this time a double wedding.
 The early night scene of old Ezra Dameron staying the corn is some- thing wholly new in literature. Very striking is the futile fight with the corn in the home field while the mighty fight in the corn market Is crushing out all Zelda's inheritance, all her mothers misplaced trust.
 The scene between father and daugh- ter Is the climax of a very strong story.
 An amusing by-part of the story is that of J. Arthur Balcomb and his get rich quick schemes. The contrast between these stock methods and those of the steady-going Morris Leighton is well drawn.
 MT. Meredith Nicholson has done a very vigorous piece of work. The book Is illustrated in Mir. John Cecil Clay's best manner.

Two Thousand Years Apart.


 People wonder often that an author who has found material for success full novel in some ancient period of his- tory, should not confine his atten- tion to that fruitful field. and there is often complaint from the many friends of the first success on hearing that 1t Is the authors plan to seek new scenes for his next work. It is an act that, after all. is justified only by success. The Harpers announces that the author of last years great relig- ious novel, Lux Crucis. has written q story of modern New York, In which Wall Street. the great powers of fi- nance, the Theatrical Trust, and many intensely interesting and real phases of present-day New York have a part. The Silence of Mrs. Harold is the title of Mir. Gardenhire's new novel. There is no question but that success win justify his long step from the open ing of the Christian era to the New York of today Tn spite of his good work in the former field, he Is un- auestionably fitted for the latter, for Mir. Gardenhire Is New York lawyer with intimate knowledge of the secret ways of wan Street. The plot is said
