The North American Review for
December 2lst contains the first of
series of primary lessons in Esperanto,
the new universal language that's attrac-
ing so much attention all over the world.
In the introduction to the lessons advice
is given on how to study this remarkably
easy language, and promise is made of
continued instruction. To quote:
MANY of our readers will no doubt
address questions to us, which we shall
aim to elucidate in these pages We
shall, moreover, present graded selections
in the best Esperanto prose and verse
from the classics of the various lteratures
as well as from modern writers. Our
purpose, in short, will be to give our
readers thoroughgoing course in
Esperanto"

Advice Thrown Away.

An exchange gives the following add
vice, which should not be taken alto
gether as the opinion of grumbler:
There is no doubt Christmas giving
is carried to extremes that is. in mat
ter of value of gifts Small gifts, If
small gifts were the rule, would be Just
as effective remembrances as expensive
ones. Giving at this time of the year
Is o!tentimes rendered nightmare in
stead of pleasure. Strictly speaking,
gift means a presentation without "a
substantial return, but for the most
part holiday gifts are more exchanges
than anything else. We feel free to
say that the giver who gets the most
enjoyment out of giving is the one who
places his favor with one from whom
he expects nothing in return other than
And many people who
do give with that idea in mind are
robbed of most Of their pleasure by the
return gift. Christmas smacks too much
OF competition to be altogether a
pleasure, in many instances. In the
days of our grandfathers the Christmas
season was given more to merrymaking
than giving. There were bountiful
tables and much good fellowship, but
the presents were remembrances instead
of obligations. If We were to return to
the simpler Christmas customs of our
forefathels we wonld all be happier and
the genuine Christmas spirit would be
easier to attain.

Local Bosses Warned.

Governorelect Hughes of New York
announces that he will probe the bank
ing department according to his pledge
during the campaign. as though Super
intendent Kilburn had not resigned, and
that he will also investigate other de-
partments, in fact all the subordinate
branches of the State administration.
Mr.. Hughes has made it clear that he
does not intend to shift responsibility by
calling for legislative investigation at
the outset, but will first examine each
department for himself This declara-
ton will have a reassuring effect, for the
people have every confidence that Gov.
ernor.elect Hughes Will probe the diff
ferent departments, and will at the same
time avoid wholesale and disturbing
legislature investigation.

Would England make War with
U.s.

ARTICLE II.-Should either of the high
contracting parties be involved in war
IN defence of its territorial righrs or
special interests, the other party will
at once come to the assistance of its alIv.
and both parties will conduct a war in
common and make peace in mutual
agreement with any power or powers
involved in such war. - Anglo-J japanese
Treaty.
We readily admit that the assumption
of an obligation so menacing to the
United States was inadvertent on the
part of the British Government. At the
time of the execution of the treaty-dur-
ing the Peace Conference at Portsmouth
the possibility of war between Japan
and the United States was not within
the range of contemplation, and the
agreement was framed solely for the
purpose of safeguarding mutual interests
against Continental aggression. But it
is idle now to maintain that such
contingency can be ignored. If, there
fore, England would convince us of the
sincerity of her professions of friendship,
it is plainly evident that she should lose
no time in rectifying an error, even
though such error be justly attributed to
inadvertence rather than to deliberatipn.
1t is not likely that Japan would be so
obstinate as to refuse consent to an i'm
mediate modification of the treaty, ex-
cepting from the operation of the main
DrOVisiop har alIv,o cbiaf eo,roo of fozl
supply. Whether or not His Majesty's
Government, from the viewpoint of
policy, shall consider it wise to make a
diplomatic attempt to effect such a
change is question for them to decide;
but there is no escape from the fact
that, 80 long as the expressed obligation
continues in force, England is, theoreti-
cally at least, in position of Willingness
to be forced to make war upon the
United States at the instigation of an
other Power. Obviously, continuance
in that position is hopelessly incompat-
IDLE with friendly professions, and, we
say plainly, it will soon come to be re-
garded in this country as wilful and
serious menace to our security and well
fare as Nation.
Our earnest suggestion, therefore, to
our brothers by race and lineage, towards
whom, we beg to assure them, there now
exist in this country only the most kind
~ feelings, is to turn for moment from
their search for congenial companion
for the President to the more imminent
necessity of setting themselves right
before the eyes of the American people.

Review for December 2lst.

ntertaining CoIored Friends

A charming sketch of southern life in
The New Idea Woman's Magazine for
December describes the visit of an old
black "auntie" and her granddaughter
to the white family of whom the old
woman had been slave before the war.
The situation is unique and is handled
with sympathy and humor by the writer,
S. B. Hockey. The whites, fortunes
have fallen and the ladies "do their own
work" An excellent understanding of
etiquette however prevails, and while
the ladies wait on the black guest at the
little table for two in the kitchen, Aunt
Maria" and Lizzie appropriate the sub
sequent DISTINGUISHING. The entertain.
ment consists in Aunt Maria hearing
all the news of her beloved white folks"
and of all their collateral branches; in
being shown the gala frocks and hats of
the young ladies; and finally in the affec-
tionate bestowal of manifold gifts.
broadly limited for by the guests, from
the packages of coffee to hats, belts and
flannel skirts. The articles, which has
the ring of truth more than of fiction, is
an interesting document at the present
juncture on the Southern question.

Sweetness and Light Rewards

We all feel honored and gratified that
our President has taken a prize. 1t is
good one, and worth taking, being the
Nobel prize for the promotion of peace
1t has been awarded to our President
in consideration of his labors in helping
OF Portsmouth. Everybody is agreed
that our President deserved and amply
earned the honor and recognition that
this prize implies. He had part in the
Portsmouth conference which seemed to
be precisely suited to his audacious and
untrammeled talents, and he played it to
perfection. Pushing in where angels of
ordinary circumspection would have
feared to interrupt, he did it like an
angel. with sweetness, light, and OBJ
stinate persistence, and saved from fail
ure negotiation with which the lives
and fortunes of hundred million people
were concerned. We are all glad, yes,
delighted, that he has got that prize,
and we are all ready to share it with
money prize of nearly forty thousand
dollars, which sum Mr.. Roosevelt pro-
poses to convey to trustees, to be held
by them as a foundation of a fund to
promote conferences in Washington be-
tween representatives of capital and of
labor in the interest of industrial peace.
The consent of Congress is necessary
under the Constitution, to enable the
President to accept the Nobel money,
but that will be readily forthcoming

GREEN MOUNTAIN STATE.
First Child of the Union to Erect
Building at the jamestown Ex-
position-Appropriation has been
M ada.

Vermont, the home of the "Green
Mountain Boys and of Ethan Allen,
and which was almost one of the origi-
nal colonies, is to have part in the
celebration of the three hundredth birth
day anniversary of the American Re
public by having an appropriate build
ing and exhibit at the Jamestown Ter
Centennial Exposition on Hampton
Roads. opening April %, 1907 and clos
ing at midnight ON the 3Oth day of the
following Novem Der.
Secretary Shepperd of the Jamestown
Exposition visited Vermont and brought
the Importance of the matter before the
Governor and the members of the Gen
eral Assembly of the State and so favor
ably was the subject received that an
appropriation of ten thousand dollars
was made for a building and exhibit and
the plans will be prepared in a short
time
This is the first time in the history of
the State that she will have a building
at an exposition and it is considered
quite a meritorious recognition of the
importance and value of the Jamestown
Exposition. Nermont's exhibit will no
doubt be most interesting one as her
products are of such character as to
insure a wide difference in the display
from that of her sister states. Her won
derfu ds of granite and marble her
pure maple syrups and sugars, the pc
culiar products of her mills and factories
will furnish an exhibit of interest and
value to the visitor.
The Jamestown celebration is to be
the most novel and unique of all ex-
positions aud assurances warrant the
prediction that the attendance will be
on larger scale than that of any ex-
position ever held.
Its location in the most historical por-
ton OF our country, the fact that it is
held i'll commemoration of the three hun
dredt anniversary of the settlement at
jamestown and the further fact that in
conjunction with the Exposition and a
part OF 1T. is to be the most gigantic
naval and military display the world
has ever seen, all are sufficient to inter
est The people of the entire Union as no
previous exposition has done. The naval
display alone will be of such grandeur
and significance as to ,xcite the atten.
ton and admiration of the civilized
world.
Addison County should do her full
duty to exploit the products of the State
in manner that will not only rebound
to its honor, but will also be of pecuniary
value to the citizens who will pay in
their taxes for the appropriations made
for this purpose.

New York is mining mad. The fever
has spread from the curb into the Gus
toners rooms of the prominent broker
age houses. and the Stock Exchange
authorities have placed restrictions upon
the members to prevent the possibility
of widcatting The curb market is a
mHlstrom. Its roar can be heard blocks
away. This curb market is one of the
sights of the city. All the "rubberneck
wagons as the sight seeing automobiles
which carry visitors around New York
are dubbed by the brokers, make this
one of their objective points. To see it
now is to see it at its best-or worst.
The roped enclosure which the police
had established to keep the street partly
open for traffic has been swept away by
the rushing, gesticulating, bowling mob
of young brokers, and the crowd swings
from side to side of Broad street for all
the world like a bunch of football play
ers trying to force the chap with the
pigskin over the line. 1t is a strenuous
life.
