A CENTURY OF REVIEWS

In a year fruitful in centenaries the one-hundredth anniversary of the es- tabhshment of the Quarterly Review should not pass unnotaced. t.
 The Quarterly came into existence seven years after the Edinburgh and was launched as Tory response to that formidable organ of Whig opinion Its great editor was Lockhart, who held his post for twenty-seven years. In 1924 came the Westminster, the mouthpiece of Bentham and Mill. The Fortnightly dates from 1865, the Contemporary from 1866 and the Nineteenth Century from 1877. Our only review bearing comparison with the British reviews in scholarly character and length of ser vice to literature is the North Ameri- can, established in 1915, among whose carly editors were A. P. Peabody, Ed ward Everett, James Russell Lowell and Charles Eliot Norton.
 What specially strikes the attention in comparing the past with the present in the history of the British reviews is the loss of prestige they have suffered. The old oracular authority is gone. No longer do "Scotch reviewers condemn budding authors to death or sting them with savage criticism to higher flights as in the case of Byron. No review editor nowadays possesses anything like the autocratic power wielded by Jeffrey through tho Edinburgh. The modern reader is left to wonder at the harsh judgments pronounced and the slashing style in which authors were carved up for the delectation of the public. The multiplication of magazines long ago ended tho despotism of the reviewers. They now neither make nor mar liter ary reputations. The public has arro- gated that right to itself among others of which it has deprived kings and kaisers.

THEN IT'S MARCH

When the wind gets up and screams, Then lies down and purrs and dreams, Softly sings, like Mime. Eames--
 Then it's March. First, the frost upon the pane; Then a wild and weltering rain; Last, a sun that boils your brain
 Then it's March. Dust clouds, dust-clouds, scurrying by, . Choking, stifing. Then blue sky, Flower fragrance floating nigh
 Then it's March. Morning baseballs md their thrills; Noon-snowhalls end funny chills; Night highballs end quinine pills
 Then it's March. Calm day. Nice spring derby on. You stroll out-puff. Headpiece gcnei You and the hat in Marathon
 Then it's March. Young n-umbrella-tan gear! Old gent--lampost- -chattering fear! Lady hat 'longsidc her ear!-
 Then it's March. Head light; feet lead; feeling tired: Books7 Thanks. Keep 'em. Not de sired.
 Thought stuck tight? Wheels all mired7
 Then it's March. Francis G. Brennan in Fleur-de-Lis.

GLORIOUS DEMOCRATIC DAYS
Perhaps Taft's Cabinet Is Full of Jef
 ersonians.

From the New York World.
 Jacob M. Dickinson, of Tennessee, secretary of war in president Taft's cabinet, asserts by way of rebuke to former Mayor Dunne, of Chicago, that he has always been and still is Dem ocrat, "'though never voted for Bry- an
 This fervent declaration of principle ought to clear up MT. Dickinson's title to any dinner rendered to him either by the Iroquois club or other democratic organization. Evidently the democrats did better in the election last fall than we thought; for in addition to the gains already enumerated, they carried the of flee of secretary of war, as well. This is encouraging, and we are waiting for further confessions of democratic faith from members of Mir. Taft's cabinet. Possibly Philander c. Knox is- an other democrat who believes in demo- cratic principles, but never acquired the habit of voting the ticket. We shall not be greatly astonished now to hear Frank "A. xItCuOCh dluOuuCc tudt " WAS HIS unalterable belief in the traditions of the democratic party which induced him to accept the chairmanship of the re- publican national committee, there be- ing more voters in the republican party and consequently greater opportunity for inspired missionary work. Perhaps 1t is the inherent democracy of William 1T. Taft which makes him look so longingly at the electoral vote of the solid south and devise ways by which it could be made more effective in furthering the doctrines of democracy by keeping him in office for second term.
 These are glorious democratic days. We can barely restrain our emotion while those sturdy old Jeffersonian dem ocrats, Joseph G. Cannon, Serene E. Payne, and John Dalzel revise the Dingley law into tariff for revenue only.

WHEN WOMEN HAVE THE BALLOT

WHEN WOMEN HAVE THE BALLOT
 Oh let the women vote; let them do all the voting they like. They've got the time to do 1t and may sometimes save the man the bother of it. Besides, if we don't like their laws we won't obey them, and what are they going to do about it?
 Yes, dear sisters, when you have the ballot and have sent your legally elected feminine representative to the legisla ture and they have passed law declar- ing that no man shall smoke pipe of ancient lineage, what are you going to do if these offenders go right on offend ing2
 To be sure, personally speaking, we don't like the antique pipe any more than you do, but we are not going to vote to take it away from it's owner; we have a fellow-f feeling even for the erring brother who smokes cigarettes, and we shall stand firmly by his right to smoke them; yea, we shall give him the right hand of fellowship on that point and hold our nose with the left.
 We believe in the square deal, with malice toward none and charity for all.
 We plead weakness fer certain pun gent foreign cheeses which many peo- pie dislike, but if we may be suffered to gatify our liking in that direction without legislative interference, are we not going to be equally tolerant with our fellow citizen who enjoys the flu maceous cigarette?
 We go farther: If our brother re- sires to regale himself with stimulants, that is his privilege, unless in his indul- gence he interferes with our comfort and deprives us of OUT rights and privileges. Then we believe in such punitive measures for him as the offense Ejustifes.
 Life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness as each chooses to see it in his own good way, if he doesn't jeopardize our life, curtail our liberty or impede our pursuit of happiness is our platform of principles. Therefore, let the woman vote; for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is also their just due; but let there be thorough. understanding of the individual freedom meant by "hberty and the pursait of happiness.

Eat What You want of the food you need Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount of good wholesome food and more than this you need to fully digest it.
 Else you can't gain strength, nor can you strengthen your stomach if it is weak.
 You must eat in order to live and maintain strength.
 You must not diet, because the body requires that you eat a suflic- tent amount of food regularly.
 But this food must be digested, and it must be digested thoroughly. When the stomach can't do it, you must take something that will help the stomach.
 The proper way to do is to eat what you want, and let Kodol di- gest the food.
 Nothing else can dc this. When the stomach is weak it needs help; you must help it by giving it rest, and Kodol will do that.
