ROBERT ELSMERE TRANSLATED.
Mrs. Humphry Ward says that
soon after the appearance OF "Rob-
ert Elsmere" 1t was translated into
German. Danish and Swedish, but
that not until fifteen years later did
Catholic country make any attempt
at Its translation. Then 1t was trans
lated at the same time into Italian
and French. M. Ferdinand Brune-
there reprinted the major part In lie
Revue des Deux Mondes. explaining
to Mrs. Ward that the idea of relig-
ious reconstruction In Robert Els
mere" could not have been taken
seriously by the French fifteen years
before. but had since gained such
hold in church and seminaries that
his journal was obliged to notice
them.-New York Sun.
AMERICAN GIRLS LEARN TO SING
1t is a known fact that there are
more beautiful voices in America
than any other country In the world,
pdyb iItiCh pCdSu L dW III tu0 Dcilucd-
tor. There Is scarcely an American
girl now who does not sing little.
Their voices are exceptionally clear
and strong. There is no girl IN the
world who can learn to sing with so
little trouble as the American girl.
She is born with a voice. There are
certain qualities in her voice which
resemble the clearness of the Ameri-
can atmosphere. Our girls have not
yet come to the realization of what
they possess. They do not fully ap-
preciate the great gift which God
has given them. They have within
themselves a power of expression that
would surprise even themselves If
they but paused to listen to their
divine gift and gave it an opportunity
of development.

able, and therefore to bring ruin upon
the entire business community, and
ultimately upon the entire body OF
citizens.
The opposition to Government con-
troll of these great corporations makes
its most effective effort in the shape
of an appeal to the old doctrine OF
States rights. or course there are
many sincere men who now believe
in unrestricted indiydualism in bust
ness. just as there were formerly
many sincere men who believed In
slavery--that Is. In the unrestricted
right of an individual to own another
individual. These men do not by
themselves have great weight, how
ever. The effective fight against adc-
Quate Government control and super
vision of individual, and especially OF
corporate. wealth engaged In inter
state business Is chiefly done under
cover: and especially under cover of
an appeal to States rights. II is not
at all infreQuent to read In the same
speech a denunciation of predatory
wealth fostered by special privilege
and defiant of both the public welfare
and law of the land, and a denuncia.
ton Of Capitalization in the Central
Government Of the power To deal with
this centralized and organized wealth.
OF course the policy set forth In such
twin denunciations amounts To abso'
lutely nothing, for the first half is
nullifed by the second half. The
chief reason, among the many sound
and compelling reasons, that led TO
the formation of the National Gov
ernment, was the absolute need that
the Union, and not the several States,
should deal with interstate and for.
eign commerce: and the power to deal
with Interstate commerce was granted
absolutely and plenarily to the Cen
trail Government and was exercised
completely as regards the only instru,
ments of interstate commerce known
In those days-thc waterways, the
hiGhroads, as well as the partnerships

Control OF Railroads,
The proposal tn make the National
Government supreme over, and there
fore to give it complete control over,
the railroads and other instruments
of interstate commerce Is merely n
proposal to carry out tn the letter one
of the prime purposes, II mt the primo
purpose, for which the Constitution

the interest of all Of them that no
swindling stock speculation should be

the interests of the shareholders. of

to do injustice to the others. Rates

from the exercise of the necessary
