writer i'll the New York Evening
Post, who claims to speak from the
inside, declares that the larger num-
Der of American students "who read
for their own pleasure devote most
time to newspapers and magazines"
To quote further
With rare exceptions, the modern coll
legian does not read poetry unless he has
to. He may study it in his regular col
lege course, but that is a different matter
Except for few admirers of, say, Byron,
Rossetti and Stephen Phillips, the spon-
taneous reading of poetry has gone to the
wall in our colleges Even the "Barrack
Room Ballads and the ''Seven Seas" seem
10 have had their day. An interesting
complement to this statement Is the direct
testimony from four colleges that a
rather widespread interest is showing it.
self in the modern drama. Ibsen and
Plnero and Jones and Maeterlinck are be-
ing read and discussed by surprisingly
large number of college men-men, too,
VINO do very little serious reading along
other lines.
According to this writer, the average
college man, like a true American,
looks upon things literary and artistic
as casual amusement, an easy way
OF using up time" He adds:
The college community is relatively free
from the transient fads of the outer
world. The fact that everybody is talk
ing about the "House of Mirth" wins few
readers for Mrs Wharton among under
graduates. Our inquiries indicate that
among the standard novelists Scott, Du-
mas Dickens and Stevenson are the best
RnoWn. Thackeray and George Eliot find
relatively few readers. They are consid-
cred rather slow. Dickens is usually
much admired or much disliked; he
seems to excite more violence of opinion
tnan any other popular novelist.
The influence of the athletic ideal on
the reading Of the college boy is noted
py this writer, who says that the I'M
dergraduate knows his Kipling and
loves his Jack London" "'Those fell
lows are men, he remarks. They can
10 things. They've got the goods with
them.'"

shaking Un shake polina-

IL only for the sake Of law and order
as factors in national progress the
whole country is interested in the eff
cheney of the police of our great Ameri-
can cities. Almost without exception
the chief municipalities of this country
have recently developed fragrant police
scandals. In most cases it transpired
that men employed to head off crime
were hand and glove with criminals.
And this has not cropped out as a new
departure in wickedness, but Is simply
the revelation of long standing abuses.
New York city has tried three ex-
periments in seven years and has long
been ready for another try. Her city
fathers think the trouble lies with the
head of the force and begin their re-
forms at the top Out of four chiefs
put In charge since the last real police
man, Captain Devery, was beheaded
three have been military men. The
fourth has q record to make, but
Chief McAdoo, alone left the system
better than he found it. That General
Ch0tfee was asked to succeed McAdoo
and another regular officer. General
Bingham was prevailed upon to accept
when Chaffee declined implies that
the mayor rests his hope for better
things on military discipline Plainly
neither General Chaffee nor General
Bingham knows anything about the po-
lice situation in New York, except that
the force is sadly demoralized. The
hand of discipline will fall directly
upon the man with the club and per-
haps Indirectly upon the criminal be-
hind him.
1t is the criminal that municipal citi-
zens and also strangers, who are even
still more exposed to criminal misdo-
ings. want to see reformed or sup
pressed Criminal human nature Is
the same in every big city-crafty,
cowardly and cruel. Thieves and
blacklegs must have some form of pro-
lection to stiffen their nerve, at least
some advantage over the victim They
find it oftenest in cities in dark and
devious places where humanity is pre-
occupied or confused or unwary. City
dwellers and visiting strangers, too,
think or should think that they have
an advantage over criminals in the
presence of police vigilance. That is
what police are for. Eut a city with
shaky police is only a den Of thieves
and place to keep away from. Its
boosted bargains turn out to be gold
bricks; its boosted pleasures are lures
that spell ruin.

Proposed Rules For New Citizens.


The national commission on the sub.
feet of naturalization proposes some
radical changes in methods, all of
Which appear reasonable except per-
hatAs the requirement that applicants
must speak the English language 1t
is raeSHmended that the fee of 81 be
exacfed from every applicant; that no
naturalization be permitted within
thirty days Of any national election, a
petition TO be filed at least three
months before it is acted upon, and the
firal action must be taken before the
court which originally received the
petition The commission would do
away with the present declaration of
Intention" and the new requirement
that one court receive and pass upon
the petition is intended to lessen the
possibility of fraud.
The language question is open to
argument and will doubtless meet with
protest. The northern countries of Eu-
rope have sent us hundreds of thou
sands of excellent citizens who had at
the time Of naturalization but a limit
ed knowledge of English Many for
eigners naturalized here late in life
and living in communities of their own
people cling to the mother tongue ex-
clusively, although In all other re-
spects they are good Americans. These
people are enlightened by local papers
printed in a familiar language and by
leaders and teachers who know Eng
llsh and can use the foreign tongue.
On the other hand, it can be said that
the English language is not difficult for
the races of Germany, Norway and
Sweden to acquire and that men fit to
become citizens should be able to mas
ter enough to make themselves under
stood. Just at present the quality of
new citizens is most important.

The precocity of the late President
Harper was something extraordinary
but it was not wholly exceptional. The
late John Fiske was reading Caesar at
seven. At eight he was familiar with
Plato and had read all of Shakespeares
plays. At nine he spoke Greek fluent
ly. At ten he wrote a history of the
world from the time Of Moses. At
twelve he had read Virgil, Sallust,
Tacitus, Ovid, Juvenal and Catullus.
At sixteen he wrote poems after Dante
in italian and translated Cervantes
into English. At seventeen he read
Hebrew Scriptures like a rabbi and
was familiar with Sanskrit. He was
admitted to Harvard without examina-
ton. Students and professors alike
looked at him in wonder

For Lighting Up Liberty.

J Congressman Joseph a. Goulden,
that it is a shame that the national
government has not made suitable pro-
vision for the lighting up of the statue
of Liberty in New York harbor. 1t
seems that since the Bartholdi statue
was turned over to the United States
in 1903 Tie government has expended
only about $3,5G0 a year in maintain
ing it as beacon to all the world What
appears at a distance to be only sin
gle brilliant star CLEANS at its summit,
and the incoming stranger looks upon
it as a curiosity rather than a magnifi-
cent spectacle to inspire reverence, as
It's designer intended.
Mr.. Goulden proposes to make the
statue and the grounds surrounding it
a feature of the gateway of the repub-
lie that will at least inspire respect
He asks that the sum of $4,000 or as
much thereof as may be necessary for
the purpose be appropriated to install
a suitable lighting apparatus and to
maintain the statue and the island
upon which it stands. Considering it's
history and import the gift of the peo-
pie Of France to the people of America
ought not to degenerate into a pinch
beck affair. 1t should be the real thing
or vanish.

The extent of the American coal
trade is shown by the fact that in 1904
there were mined 352,OOO,OO0 tons, and
the total amount of freight handled
that year by American railroads was
700,000,O00 tons, or only about double
the weight of the coal product. Coal
did not constitute one-half of the
freight, because much of the coal is
transported by water.

The Secret of Dickens.

IN a passing word upon a new life
Of Dickens by Percy Fitzgerald, who
| knew Dickens" as Boz, Herbert Paul
quotes as follows:
kissing, embracing. hugging figure
largely In Boz's writings. It was quite
common and legitimate n those early
victorian days, particularly among the
middle classes The amount of kissing In
Pickwck Is enormous quite as much as
drinking Boz, however, forgot for the
moment that 1t was hardly so hahitual
In the upper classes. Thus when Mr..
sparkler was counting Fanny Dorrit his
demeanor to Little Dorrt Ncame patent.
Sometimes when she was in the outer cir
cles of assemblies she would find herself
stealthtly supported round her waist by
Mr., Sparklers arm. This would rot be
tolerated in a fashionable assembly. The
host would probably invite the guest to
retire.
Letting this passage suffice as sam-
pie of the biographer's work, Mr.. Paul
in the London Speaker offers some
hints as to the secret of Dickens power
with the reader and the undated pop
ularity of his writings thirty-fve years
"a W MS uO't VI. oJcslhlilS lOl LIS wv
countrymen, Mr.. Paul declares that the
attraction in Dickens is the humor
and he doubts whether there are many
educated Englishmen or uneducated
either who do not wish that they knew
ali the humorous passages in Dickens
by heart
There are two great and conspicuous
limits to the humor Of Dickens, says
this writer. ut is never indecent and
never profane, ana II IS always whole
some" To quote further:
II we only knew Dickens by his pathos
we should say that he haG no humor at
all; perhaps that he was unusually desti-
tute Of it, Had the two elements COM
mingled he might have been another
Shakespeare. AS 1t Is he lives by his
humor, if not by his humor alone.
incidentally Mr. Paul echoes Andrew
Lang's defense of Dickens against the
assertion by critics that he could not
draw gentleman" by citing Joe
Gargery, the blacksmith in Great Ex-
pectations," who, though uncouth in
manners and ungainly in appearance,
| was one Of natures gentlemen"
