 India It's Life and Thought" by John
 P Jones, D. D. CThe Macmillan Co) Dr. Jones says that to the people of l the west the inhabitants of India are the l least understood and most easily misun- ] derstood of all men. That it Is Is partly l because they are antipodal to the west 1 the farthest removed in thought and life
 That the people of India are also the most
 secretive and find perennial delight in 1 concealment and evasion. Dr. Jones tells us that according to Hin 1 du teaching, the Supreme Spirit forever i sports In illusion. That this spirit con 1 tinuously manifests itself through unreal and false forms which delude and lead astray ignorant man.
 Dr. Jones is of the opinion that it Is amusing when not discouraging to wit 1 ness travellers who have rushed through India in winter tour, publish volumes l of their misconceptions and ill-digested
 theories about the people with an oracu- lar emphasis which Is equalled only by their ignorance.
 The author of India. It's Life and Thought" makes no claim to right to speak ex cathedra upon the subject. Nev- ertheless 30 years of matured experience in this land living in constant touch with the people and studying with eagerness
 their life and thought, gives him without d uouDt d cldlil to spedk upon the SUD l ject.
 It is the hope of the author that I through his book he can help others of the west to come face to face with the immense and intricate problems which confront all who desire to know. to help and to bless India and shall enable them to understand better the conditions and ] characteristics of life in the Land of the Vedas.
 The book reads to the uninitated as a
 brief for the churches who are sending
 Christian missionaries to India, giving
 reasons for so doing. the difficulties met
 with and the difficult thought that evil
 dently comes to Dr. Jones and his fellow
 workers, as to why the people of India in their ignorance. do not grasp instantly the religion offered them-a religion most of them will not accept and refuse to dis cuss.
 The question is too deep for this re- viewer who believes in sending mission aries to India, China and so forth, only when we have cleaned up, planted and likewise reaped the harvest right here at home.
 With daily notes in the press of women and children starving on the streets of many cities in this country, with this and that injustice-child labor. iliteracy and so on this reviewer can't, although he tries to see the justice of blowing money
 for some foreign work for instance in
 presenting the Emperor of China with gold-bedecked Bible at a cost of $700 or sSOO-a book he doesn't want or use. ex- cept for the gold on it-and children starv- ing at home Still, this reviewer doesn't count when it comes to such questions.

"St. Botolphs Town" an account of old
 Boston in colonial days, by Mary Car
 oline Crawford. QI. c. Page & Col
 This is a beautiful book of old Boston, handsomely illustrated, splendidly pro- duced
 Up to the time of the Revolution Bos- ton was the biggest place in all the col ones, as well as the chief settlement of Massachusetts This numerical pre-emi- hence needs to be borne in mind if we would understand many acts on both sides of the ocean. To understand Amer ica today, this author says we must needs know the Boston of our fathers. "So only we can be sure that the excrescences part of that Christian state of which Win throp dreamed and for which Vane was glad to die"
 Vane flashed before us in history books as a brilliant, handsome youth who espoused the cause of Mrs. Hutchinson and then disappeared forever from view.
 It remained for Sir Ferdinand Gorges and his son Robert to plant firmly upon our she -es the standard of England at Boston.
 The book is very handsome and to those than a delight. The book as stated, Is very beautifully Illustrated and is di- vided into 15 chapters which describe "As 1t was in the beginning" down to and through "A genuine colonial romance" {" and "Fhe dawn of active resistance of the Revolution.

"The Virgin in Judgment" by Eden Phil potts (Moffat, Yard & Col

potts. (Moffat Yard & Co) MT. Phillpotts collaborated with MT. A. Bennett some time ago in the book "The Statue" which was reveiwed some time since in this paper.
 MT Phillpots ought not to collaborate with anybody. 'The Statue wasn't very much and of course those who knew MT. Phillpotts from his books, put all the blame on MT. Bennett, justly or unjust ly as the case may be- Ie In this latest book, "The Virgin in Judg- ment" all by his lonesome, MT. Phill- potts has returned to his beloved Dart moor region which he and MT John Trevena know and write of so delight fully.
 In discussing a new book by MT Phill- potts it should be only necessary to say to those who are familiar with his su- perior books, that the new one is as good or not as good, or in line with his Dartmoor stories, a standard by which one could know at once the grade of the new offering.
 'The Children of the Mist" and 'The Mother of the Man" most of us who claim to keep up with the procession of books, have rightfully enthused over.
 The new book has its scene on Dart moor with the same class of people we are accustomed to meeting in MT. Phillpotts books.
 ''The Virgin in Judgment is as good if not better than anything this reviewer has read, written by MT Phillpotts. It concerns a family of Bowden, a large famly-two children. David and Rhoda, the virgin-in-judgment are the principal characters in the story. David loved and married Margaret Stanbury, and Rhoda, beautiful, but cold, indf- ferent- to-men girl, went to live with David and his wife. This, out of the ordinary triangle, Is the cause of most of the trouble in the story
 The book is simply a page out of life as 1t must be on Dartmoor, for although the story Is supposed to have happened 50 years ago, we have MT. Phillpotts' word for it that nothing changes on Dart moor.
 It is a safe decision to make about books. to risk anything that you see writ ten by MT. Phillpotts. The plot in all his stories is always good. but 1t isn't always or ever just the plot, but it Is the descrip- tion of the people, how they live, think and all that sort of thing until we really know the characters in this authors books.
 in Judgment" It Is more than worth while. Anything that MT. Phillpotts writes by himself always is.
 Lila Seri," by William Lee Howard
 (Rich. G. Badger.)
 The hero in this startling and keep-you- on-the-jump story is a young American, who thinks, in fact knows, he has an un- deriving passion of the right kind for the daughter of a millionaire. The million aire charters a yacht for cruise in the South Pacific and with the party on board takes his beautiful daughter and the lover.
 Biographies tell us, or used to when we had the time, inclination, or were forced to look into them, that the Pacific ocean is a delightful mill pond, so far as heavy seas are concerned. But one can hardly recall any story dealing with sailing the Pacific ocean that is not filled with ship wreclSs, wrecks on desert isles, volcanoes and so on.
 This book is no exception to the gen.

DR.. CatheII's Address on Lin
coin "MasterIy Production"

At the International Lyceum asso-

Der g, where many chautauqua speak
ers gave exhibition work, DR.. j. Ever
list Cathell of this city. gave his cele-

Since the adjournment of the associ-
ation, Mr.. Lou Beauchamp, the plat
form manager of the Oshkosh gather
ing, who presided at all the lectures
and other exercises during the session
of the l. L. A, has given the following
appreciation of DR.. Cathelrs lecture:
Hamilton, Ohio, Sept. II, 1908.
There are many lectures on Abra-
ham Lincoln, given by many notable
persons, but it seems to me that the
lecture by DR.. j. Everist Cathell on
that subject, gives us pre-eminently the
real Lincoln" the man of the tender
heart as we'll as the great strong soul,
the man who was so tenderly human,
and yet so superhuman in many of his
attributes-as none of the other lee
lures seem to do. DR.. Cathell thrills
with much of his story of the great
commoner's public life, yet before you
are aware of it, the tears are flowing
as though the one wept for was a close
personal friend just passed away. 1t
is a mastery production, this lecture
of DR.. Cathell's, and gives many new
views of the times that tried all hearts
in the eos, and of the wonderful char
acter who was so manifestly the man
of the hour.

criticism of the president for going as
far as he has now gone in support of
Taft, and the fear of many prominent
republicans that for him to make
speeches would be resented, has about
been dissipated.
Should the president decide to take
the stump. it is certain that at least
one of his speeches, probably his first
one, would be delivered in New York.
AS New York Is Mr.. Roosevelt's
home, this would be entirely fitting,
and there would be the further advan-
tage of speaking in large population
center with adequate facilities for han
ding the news of his meeting. If the
campaign managers can have their
way, however, the president will make
an excursion into the Middle West,
speaking in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa and Wisconsin, and in as many

other states as his consent can be Sc
cured for speeches. 1t is the Middle
West that Mr.. Bryan is making his
battle ground and in the Middle West
Mr.. Roosevelt enjoys about his largest
popularity. The campaign managers
believe his appearance there would be
worth thousands of votes in every
state he visited, and it is easily con,
ceivable that in close states speech
or two by the president might turn
defeat into victory.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Roosevelt is more
earnest for the election of Taft than
he ever was for anything before, ex-
cept his own election four years ago
and should he beconvinced that the
result might depend upon his taking
the stump, it is hardly possible that
any prejudices of the past would pre-
vent his doing so.

KERN EvApEs.

The citizens of Indiana may natural
ly take some interest in the utteran-
ces Of Mr.. Kern. John w. has come
to the front at Ellicott City, Maryland,
supporting Gov. Haskell. He accuses
Mr. Roosevelt of going too far and
then wheels around and says he does
not go far enough
mfr. Roosevelt's last Illumination as
to Governor Haskell only proves his
attack was premature and uncalled
for. No such assault was ever before
made upon the chief executive of a
sovereign state by the president OF
the United States. His original
charge Of criminality is abandoned
and he now contents himself with a
criticism of the governors official
acts.
So far as I am concerned the Incl
dent is closed until some evidence is
brought forward to substantiate the
original charges. Mr.. Roosevelt will
not be permitted to divert the atten-
ton of the American people from the
record of his party by such by-play as
this"
Oh the logic of Mr.. Kern. Is not
the venality Of Governor Haskell in
office far more damnable than his &C
ton as private citizen? The Ohio
incident is not q closed one-if Mr..
Roosevelt had made charges against
Haskell with out having all the prem
Uses, he would have laid himself liable
to the criticism which Mr. Kern
makes when he has refrained from 1t.
But We would ask Mr.. Kern If any
one is unjustified in drawing the In

Especial Correspondence


Washington, D. c., Sept. 25.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is going to have a hard
time resisting the demand that he take
the stump in behalf or Judge Taft's
candidacy. He is possessed with a
strong personal desire to make a num-
Der Of speeches next month, and to this
is now added the urging of prominent
party leaders and the republican press
throughout the country. 1t is a pretty
good guess that against such a combi-
nation century Of precedent" can
not long hold out.
Several weeks ago an "inspired''
statement came from Oyster Bay to
the effect that Mr.. Roosevelt had de-
cided not to make any campaign
speeches. Two reasons were given.
One was that the president was loath
to disregard the traditions of the Of
flee. The other was that it was feared
the people would not take kindly to
the spectacle of their president on the
hastings as campaign spell-binder.
Things have changed materially
since then. By his letters and official
statements Mr.. Roosevelt has become
involved in a large campaign contro-
versy and demand has been made, both
by the democratic candidate for presi-
dent and the democratic national
chairman, that he furnish proof of
charges he has brought. He is in the
campaign, therefore, about as thor
oughly as he we'll could be, and it
would be mere splitting of hairs to
hold that the making of couple of
speeches would involve sacrifice of
the presidential dignity. So far as
appears, there has been no republican

however. the average citizen may adj
mire Mr. Kern for sticking up for the
man of his own party. the citizen will
not praise the attempt to apologize
for Haskell actions, which occurred as
public testimony in the Monnett case
and to declare that because Haskell
is governor. that that fact excuses
his actions. 1t is probable that the
people will incline to the belief that
rascality in public office. especially
when it incriminates him with the
foes of the republic. is not to be put
aside because it happens to be term
ed "by-play" and a trick to divert
attention. by Mr.. Kern.
The subtrafuge of Mr.. Kern that
the governor of state should not be
attacked by the president, may have
some foundation in the theory Of
states rights. But on the equally i'm
portant theory thta all executive Of
ficers are in reality only citizens Of
the United States, Mr.. Roosevelt
whose patriotic citizenship is unques-
toned can say:
CAS- an American citizen who prizes
his Americanism and citizenship far
above any question of partisanship. I
regard 1t as a scandal and disgrace
that Gov. Haskell should be connected
with the management of a national
campaign"

Huronite Sunday afternoon about
a o'clock little Jay Barkey met with
an awful death while playing in the
North Western yards here. The
little fellow was going down to the
river fishing and decided to catch
the 800 freight and in jumping on
lost his hold some way. Falling
from the cars he was struck
and thrown under the train, several
cars passing over his body. 1t is
probable that he was killed before
being run over as his scalp would in
dicate that he was struck terrible
blow. Coroner Tolmie was lmmed-
lately notified and the remains were
brought to his undertaking parlors
and prepared for burial. Jay Bar
key was bright, pleasant little fel-
low and had many friends among the
little folks of Huron.
