Hewlett's Admirers Indignant.

The recent action OF the BROOKLYN
Public Library in placing two of Maui
rice Hewlett's most popular books upon
their restricted list is occasioning much
comment among critics. reviewers. and
book-lovers generally. The vaIumes
barred are The Queens QUAR- and
Fond Adventures"
The chief feeling among the many ad-
mlrers of Hewletts works seems TO be
one of Indignation. as IL Is generally
considered that there is nothing objec-
tionable enough in either the plots or
the writing TO warrant their being put
on the restricted list of any library.
Il regard Fond Adventures as a
highly spirited and highly ideal story. .
said prominent reviewer lately There
is nothing in the book TO which any one
could take offense. The story Is told
in the cleanest possible fashion. 1 can
not understand why Hewlett should be
barred from the shelves of any library
There is not a finer literary artist writ
ing to-day than Hewlett. in none OF
his books has he sought to catch popu.
lar favor by introducing suggestIveness
into his stories.

A Territorial Delegate.

Ii is drear old world. and those
persons and agencies that make for
the gayety of nations deserve well
of mankind They should he en-
couraged, not frowned upon. Their
advent always should be the herald
OF smile.
For this reason Washington awaits
with pleasurable anticipation the
arrival of Edward c. Ryan, resi-
dent of the Isle Of Pines, of the
coast of Cuba, who describes him
self as territorial delegate" from
that particular pearl Of the Antilles.
Some scores of Mr.. Ryan's fellow
residents have joined In the be-
stowal of the title, the transforma-
tion of the island from a part Of
Cuba's domain 70 full-fledged
American territory having occurred
over night and by the simple pro-
cess of resolution. Revolution would
have been a method far too strenu-
Gus for these dwellers in the cross
section of the Land of Manana. And
banana.
However, Mr.. Ryan is on his way
The Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, with
coarseness of manner which at once
shocks and gricves, declares Mr.
Ryan has as much right in the
House of Representatives as the
wild man of Borneo." There are
other rude men, unkissed of culture
and unplaned by diplomacy, who
have shot verbal bolts at the same
mark. They do not smile-sweetly
and appreciatively and in the man
ner of welcome. Not at all. On the
contrary, they laugh-and an un-
critical person might even say they
guffaw
As for us, we are looking forward
to Mr.. Ryan's coming with unalloyed
delight. Anybody who can trans
form himself into a territorial dele
gate by wave OF the hand, as it
were, receives our most reverent
admiration. We desire it under
stood We do not stand with the SCOT
fers nor dwell, in this case, in the
ranks of the scornful.
Besides. we see in Mr. Ryan the
prospect OF a decided extension of
this country's trace with the West
Indies. In the past our imports
from that quarter OF the world have
consisted almost entirely of sugar,
tobacco. and fruit No reason now
appears why they should not be di-
versified and increased by unlimited
quantities of native brass.

Getting Trade Through Students

President James, of the State Uni
versity of Illinois, has been under
treatment at one of our Washington
hospitals these past three weeks.
Neither his ailment nor the medical
supervision maintained by the institu-
tion could keep him idle. however,
and he was able during his stay to
impress upon the Administration an
interesting project for promoting
closer trade relations with all coun-
tries south Of us and Japan and
China 10 the west of us.
All Of these nations, says DR..
James, are sending young men to
colleges away from home. China
alone is educating thus 5000; and,
while no other government is moving
on the same extensive scale. the ag-
gregate OF boys receiving instruction
in Europe and the United States
from those lands is probably equal
10 third Of the whole number now
sitting under American instructors.
Yet of this aggregate, surely many
thousand, but one in five or ten
comes to the United States.
This is the more remarkable. ac-
cording 20 DR.. James, because the
American college and the American
technical school are the best in the
world. Applicants for certain highly
advanced degrees, students who plan

France or Germany-in which con
nection it is well to note that the
Doctors own degree In philosophy
was obtained at Halle. But It. is his
judgment that the present American
system Of education coupled with the
present American collegiate equip
ment give the youth who studies in
this country a distinct advantage up

Dr. James regrets this, of course,
from the pedagOgue's point OF view.
But he regrets it more as an Ameri-
can citizen than as the head of a

Real Work for Baltimore.

Baltimore proposes TO make it's
own acquaintance. Its Travellers
and Merchants Association proposes
to hold next spring Home Products
Show to inform the people of Balti-
more-and incidentally some buyers
for the South-that Maryland is the
first State in the Union in the value
of important manufactured products
and that Baltimore is the greater
part of manufacturing Maryland
1T is not a pretentious project" d"
says the energetic and well-managed
Baltimore News, that will overtax
the energies or financial resources of
the trade organizations or the people
in general, but it is an enterprise
from which the benefits may very
well be larger than if it were more
ambitious. For Baltimore, at this
time of general trade and manufac-
turing revival, a well-organized and
well-managed show of the kind pro-
posed should be particularly sue
cessful.''
If our sister city IS watchful to
avoid the two mistakes into which
other cities have fallen in similar
undertakings she may expect to
profit largely by this exhibition The
first mistake was that committed in
Philadelphia IN her export exposi-
ton, which cost SO much as practi-
cally TO prohibit success from the
start. The second mistake is that
committed by several smaller cities
of permitting the exhibition to be-
come a means Of making money TO
certain nomadic promoters, who
build booths. obtain exhibits, and
prepare advertising matter accord
ing to pattern, whether the display
is intended for Keokuk or Sitka. The
enterprise is to produce valuable re-
suits; it is to promote trade at
profitable cost, and so it must not
drain the manufacturers dry. Also,

merchants Of other communities and
the people of Baltimore, and so it
must be a Baltimore enterprise, par
ticularly designed to reflect the in
dustries Of Baltimore and appeal to
Baltimore's buying public
This project is, Of course, of gen.
eral concern TO Washington, which
follows the progress of Baltimore
with an interest nearly local. But
the Capital has a special interest in
it also-in that the exhibition is the
plan Of an association Of Baltimore
business men who are willing TO
work and spend for their home city.
In that fact there is food for some
reflection on the part of the District
Of Columbia.
