SCOTTISH LITERATURE

L IBRARY Bulletin No. Is of the
Il University of California is a
AA scholarly compilation entitled
"A Survey of Scottish Literature in
the Nineteenth Century" by Professor
James Main Dixon of the University of
Southern California. There is a dis
tinct and separate Scottish literature,
which cannot justly be considered in
connection with English literature or
classified as a branch of it. Men of
Scottish origin find that owing prin-
cipally to erroneous instruction in
public schools, in America, with which
it has always been sympathetically
friendly, their native or ancestral coun-
try is threatened with a loss of the
individuality and identity for which it
fought England. Professor Dixon's
work is timely, and will be welcomed
by all Americans of Scottish blood,
who form a much larger proportion of
the population of the United States
thaa is generally supposed. 1t will
also be appreciated by students of
literature who realize that the litera-
ture of the United States has been in
fiuenced TO a great extent by Scottish
literature.

European cities and have little

fering from the effects of business de-

stagnated. Others have not replaced
more than few of the thousands of
employees discharged during the finan-
cial crisis. Relief offices are kept busy
day and night in caring for the desti-
tute, The number of idle people in one
district of New York exceeds $4,000,

TARIFF ON FRUIT

CALIFORNIA fruit growers are
asking that an adequate tariff
~ be imposed on all fruits
and vegetables imported into the
the United States. The Citrus Pro-
tective league has begun a campaign
of education, which has for its ultimate
object the imposition of an adequate
duty. 1t should be understood that
the proposed tariff will be protective in
character. Under present conditions
California fruit growers must compete
with the fruit men of Southern Eu-
rope, who employ cheap labor and send
fruit to the United states by cheap
steamship routes. BY means of cir
cular letters special literature, per-
sonal interviews and meetings the
league hopes to induce fruit growers
and farmers to exert their influence
with their representatives in congress
for the protection of this home indus
try. 1t is urged that this Is a case
in which tariff reformers may unite
with protectionists, as the proposed
duty is not to be imposed for the pur-
pose of favoring one American indus
try at the expense of another, or caus-
ing trusts to be formed, but for that
of cutting out competition which is
hurtful to California without being
beneficial to any part of the United
States. OF course there is danger that
high tariff, which would confine the
American fruit industry to handling
fruit grown in the United States, might
produce a trust. In handling the trust
question the United states could, with
advantage, follow the example of Mexi-
co, which has from time to time pro-
tected young national industries by
high tariffs, which have been removed
whenever 1t has become apparent that
protection was being misused for self
ish ends. Under the Mexican system,
every article controlled by trust In
the United States would be on the free
list. and would remain on the free
list until the trust had been dissolved
and active Independent production and
free competition resumed.

THE FLEET

nY HIS admirable behavior while
| X on shore leave, the American
- sailor again has proved he is en-
titled to be considered among our more
responsible citizens. This fact would
not be worth noting if 1t were not for
the prevalence of the idea that Jack
ashore is fond of the Stevensonian
chanty. "Yeo. no no, and a bottle o.
rum" The modern sailor is a man of
intelligence and education. Those who
have derived their ideas of the seaman
from old time books of the "Rattlin
the Refer type have been disap-
pointed. and we hope their disappoint-
ment has been pleasant. We say this
with special reference to the highly es-
teemed citizens who never saw the
ocean until they reached Los Angeles.
Many recruits to our rapidly increas-
ing population come from inland re-
gions. where ships and all who go
down to sea and are in peril on the
great deep are subjects of mystery and
speculation to the family gathered
around the roaring fire when the frost
is on the window pane and the tenn
perature, TO speak nautically, is several
fathoms below zero. Citizens who were
born and raised" on the seaboard find
it difficult to put themselves in the
places of the inland brethren whose
anxiety to rush to the beaches and
view the fleet was only equaled by
their enthusiastic happiness when at
last they feasted their eyes on that
wonderful navy which they tried so
with the aid of illustrations and mod
els that worked whe.. they dropped a
nickel in the slot. 1t is pleasant to
realize that all sorts and conditions of
citizens, from the fresh water and the
salt water, the furrowed field and the
forest. have been satisfied. You can
not find anybody who has viewed the
vessels for the first time in his life
who does not confess that reality has
far surpassed imaginative expectations.
We will not now stop to speculate
whether mans best ingenuities and
mental energies might have been bet
ter and more profitably employed than
IN QeVlSl1S ulSIdllCe~ ~dnlllillidlluS Mill
ing machines We prefer for the pres
ent to disregard that aspect of the
matter. If there is a skeleton at the
naval feast let us for the nonce dis
guise 1t sc skillfully that it will avoid
observation. We congratulate Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the secretary of the
navy, the committee on naval affairs
and all others in authority over the
naval branch of the service on the fact
that the United States possesses the
best fleet and the most efficient body
of officers, mariners, marines and en-
gineers in all the world. We hope the
naval celebration, brilliantly begun
will be continued to the end of the pro-
gram without a 1cident or untoward in
cident. The visit of the fleet will
stimulate patriotism and increase faith
in the aggressive security necessary
for the advancement of the United
States in an age which persists in
| taking the view that war hath her vic>
| tories far more renowned than peace.
| This is rot true, and 1t would be a
queer and unpleasant old world if it
were true. But-hurrah for the fleet
Since fleet is necessary, let our aim
lie to maintain the high standard of
efficiency we have achieved. and con-
tinue to have the finest fleet afloat

UNHEALTHY REVIVAL

n NE of the religious phenomena of
modern times is the Mormon re-
~ vival. The church that is best
known from It's association with the
names of Joseph Smith and Brigham
Young is working hard to convert New
York. Polygamy is no longer fea-
ture of Mormonism. In this respect it
obeys the laws of the country and
the manners and customs of civilized
mankind But it will always be re-
garded with suspicion by members of
the orthodox churches, who think it
is endeavoring to recruit its flowing
until it is big enough to defy law. This
suspicion may be unjust, but those who
entertain it are numbered among the
level headed. AS a literary produc-
tion the Book of Mormon is extraor-
binary. Much of it resembles a parody
of the King James Bible. Scholars
who were disposed to be lenient witt
Smith and inclined to think there must
be something in his claims had theii
hopes and inclinations interfered with
as soon as they began to read the
Book of Mormon. The author of thi;
work fell into the error of supposins
that the archaisms and quaint Eng
lish Of the old translation of the Scrip
lures were part of it's inspiration. L
the Bible had been translated in Vic
torias time instead of the reign o
James, it would have been translated
into Victorian English. This fact al
rule escapes the attention of ever!
unscholarly person who attempts to es
tablish claim for the authentlcit!
of a new scripture. A nineteenth cen
