while the record may reawaken old

MIR. Hill and the Grafters.

Mr.. Hill is reported to have said
that Minnesota might have had the
immense steel works which now stand
ready for operations at Gary, Ind. Lack

selection of Minnesota, but "the state
Is soverrun with peculiarly vicious
type of political CRATER, whose infu-
ence for evil is SO tremendous, that no
sane man entrusted with the invest
ment of great capital would dare to
locate works there.''
These are very bitter words, and, if
they are deserved, it behooves Mime
sofa to set out on rat hunt immedi-
ately. If they are true they must
have a discouraging effect upon Mr.. Ar
mDur and others who are proposing to
make investments in Minnesota If
they are not true they constitute a
serious offense against the state which
gave Mr.. Hill the foundation Of his
fortune.

vicious system of political graft which

NOVEL ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
When an English author crosses the seas
Tor the chief characters and foremost
scenes Of one of his novels, he is under
taking a difficult task. He is prone to
exaggefatsy to typographical plumbers
and to similar errors of type and place.
The author who avoids such pitfalls and
turns out a creditable story is to be con-
graduated. Such an author is E. F.
benson, and such a more than creditable
novel is The House of Defence.
= walter Cochran is the hero's name. He
is a Christian Scientist. He finds himself
IN the Scottish highland, where he sue
ceeds in the dual task of wooing an Eng
.lsh maiden Of. quality and Of checking
an epidemic that has resisted medical
skill The brother of Walters inamorata
the Earl Of Thurso-is an incurable
opium eater, and reluctantly comes to
New York to undergo treatment at
Cochran's hands. During an opium spree
the earl strays into the Bowery and I'M

max Of the novel follows-a climax to
leave the reader GREATNESS and dazed.

Ireland s Plea.

In an age when corrupt practices In
politics is regarded with such horror as
they are today, it is interesting to re-
fleet that Ireland's demand for the
restoration Of her parliament is based
in part upon the wel-substantiated
claim that she was robbed of it by un-
blushing bribery. Lecky, the historian
of the nineteenth century, who could
mot be accused Of any leaning toward
ireland, has described in words that
burn the means used to deprive Ireland
other parliament. Gladstone added the
final word when he characterized the
conduct of Pitt, the minister of the day,
as that of "blackguard.'

sympathy of America, states the sequel

Two Facts, No*Theories.

Those advocates of public ownership
who are constantly assuring the public
that it will take public service out Of
politics and prove-a panaeea~ for labor
strikes, should take note, of two facts
which have recently made a record.
New York, it: sis known, has gone
into public ownership in q small way
by the: purchase and operation of fer
ries to Staten Island, zupon which it is
said the city loses $500 day. One
Lawrence Hanlon has charge Of them.
Now, it happens that Lawrence or
"Larry'' Hanlon is member Of the
Cherokee club, a political organization,
whose =, head is his political friend,
Chick" Muller. Nick recently found
himself in a tight place in the Chero-
kee club, being hard pressed by a rival
statesman, Sheriff Nc Cormick. In his
extremity Nick appealed to Larry, and
did not appeal in vain. Larry seen
his duty and he done it like man.
| He ran those ferries into dock and held
| their combined noses agin theAbank till
for Nick. Meanwhile, ;: the public
fretted and. fumed, but Muller was
saved.
In the little town of Halifax, Eng,
lying inSthes hilly country between Liv--
erpool and Bradford, they have mu-
nicipal street railway: The authorities

who think that there cannot be a
