THE UNIVERSAL APPEAL

The people may but i'll requite
The patient toiler's care;
Their thoughtlessness will often cause
The wise man to despair.
But this much must be said, although
Their hearts are hard to reach,
They'll always listen to the man
Who wants to make speech.
They win approve his sentences
If they be gay or grim;
But this by no means indicates
That they will vote for him.
They'll e'en neglect the big brass band
With its alluring screech,
And turn to listen to the man
Who wants to make speech.
So, gentle genius, grieve no more,
Though fortune seem unkind;
There opens for you one avenue
Unto the public mind.
It matters not that you may feel
That you have naught to teach;
You'll he ,applauded anyhow,
Break I'M and make a speech.

views of the Board of Trade, there
would have been no purchasing of votes
to bring about the passage of the meas
ure.
There will be at least one other canal
bill introduced in the Legislature shortly
that drafted by Cortlandt Parker. and
amended in accordance with suggestions
made by representatives who have at
tended the conferences held under the
auspices of the State Civic Federation.
That measure, which may be introduced
by Senator Colby, has really for its OBJ
ject the rehabilitation of the canal as
waterway. There is a provision for the
revocation of the charter, it is true. but
an alternative is afforded of repairing the
canal and operating it, and it may be
inferred that the revocation feature is
intended merely as a weapon to enforce
the re-establishment of navigation upon
the canal.
1t is doubtful, however, if the restora-
ton of navigation would bring about any
good except that it would prevent the
canal from remaining the nuisance it now
is in this city and in Jersey City. It is
certain that the bed of the stream could
be put to much more profitable use than
that of navigation, and that such a
change would inure to the benefit of the
people of this section of the State, under
proper restrictions. 1t is for these rea-
sons that it is highly improbable that
the Parker bill will be enacted into law.
The Mills measure, it is almost certain,
win be the basis of any legislation that
has any opportunity Of receiving favor
able action. = is, therefore most inn
portant that the faults of thar bill may
be clearly set forth when it comes mp
for hearing at Trenton, that there may
be no misunderstanding of its compli-
Gated features. The bill has been intro
duced early this year, there is plenty of
time for its consideration by all Of the
interests affected by it, and there will
be no excuse for any attempt to force it
through the Legislature in hurry or by
questionable or criminal methods.

Book Notes


Moffat, Yard & Company announce the
early publication of Eleanor Hoyt Brain
erd's s'In Vanity Fair" This unique
book tells Importantly and fully for the
first time the inside story" of the origin
and exploitation of fashions in women's
dress, field in which the author has be-
come the recognized authority. The book
is in no sense only fashion book, for
the fashions are really the outgrowth of
a combination of social phenomena of an
extraordinary kind Their story is an
absorbing, even an astonishing, revela-
ton of human nature; and vanity, ex-
travagance, frivolity, shrewdness and en-
terprise ar seldom studied against so fas-
cinating background.
The book abounds in humor, penetrat-
ing characterization, lively incident and
vivid description. The story Of the
Fashions is seen in these pages to be the
story of one of the great forces Of our
modern life. 1t will be we'll and inform
ingly illustrated.
Already Tom Masson's "a Corner in
Women has shown that it has come to
stay The holidays were scarcely over
before demand again made itself evident
in different parts of the country, and it
has been selling since in increasing guam
titles.
Moffat, Yard & Company announce the
immediate publication of ''The Invisible
Bond,' by Eleanor Talbot Kinkead,
new writer in fiction of much power. 1t
is forceful story of life and character
in the Kentucky of today. Two women
of strongly opposing type and character,
strikingly drawn and powerfully con-
trasted, dominate the story, which is de-
veloped about their alternating influences
upon the character and career of the
hero. Roger Boiling, at frst like wax
in the skillful hands of Marian Day, de-
velops rapidly, under strenuous circum-
stances, the intense purpose and compel
ling will which even the tenderness and
delicacy of his nature as first discovered
could not conceal as his birthright. At
ter all inherited character again prevails,
and Roger follows a natural, if unex-
pected course, to an end which win fully
satisfy the thoughtful reader as well as
the lover of romance.
The book abounds in strong and dram
atic situations and vivid characterize
tions. 1t is illustrated in colors by G.
ALLAN Gilbert
