England, and none between Gore and
his democratic colleagues from the
south.
If the next president of the United
States is not Theodore Roosevelt II
will be. in all probability, one of the
seven republican senators who voted
against the tariff bill. Those seven
Beveridge, Bristow Clapp, Cummins
Dolliver, La Toilette, Nelson--could
form, in alliance with Gore and other
western democrats, new party
which would sweep the country three
years hence. Aldrich had the
effrontery to read them out of the re-
publican party because they would
not swallow his program. If they
should take Aldrich at his word
secede from the party and organize
a new progressive party they would
take the majority of the republicans
and democrats with them and leave
the Aldrich machine with a scant con-
stituency. The Organization" repre-
senting the special interests. was
never weaker than in this hour Of
triumph over the ultimate consumer.
1t is a hopeful sign when seven
republican senators. representing pop
ulous and wealthy states in the middle
west. break away from the "organiza-
ton on an affair so important as the
tariff bill. Matters have improved
since the time, not so long ago. when
La Toilette was the solitary figure
Standing out against the machine pha-
lanX. Just by dint of being right the
senator from Wisconsin has brought
powerful allies to his banner. One
man. speaking for the public has
been sufficient to force "A great moral
and political issue to an acute crisis.
Derisively the majority overrode his
protests and voted him down, but
after each defeat in the senate he
came up stronger before the people.
His one vote, and his clear voice,
made him a power which could not
be ignored. La Follette's career is
lesson to every ambitious man in poll
tics. 1t teaches that the way to real
leadership and the sort of success that
is worth while is not the way of the
programmer and the pork barrel.

"A Certain Rich Man."

William Allen White. the man who
made Kansas famous, able editor,
successful reformer, strong writer, has
written a novel which is a prose epic.
vivid. vital and literally vibrant with
life. "A Certain Rich Man" is the
title; chosen from the parable of the
unjust steward as told by ST. Luke in
the beautiful chapter which declares
that I'VE cannot serve God and
Mammon."
The Great American Novel was the
subject of reams of literary essays
about a third of a century or more
ago. and literary critics were wont to
hail each new novelist with the proph-
ecy that he would write the great
American novel. William Dean
Howells, now Nestor of living novel
lists whose Rise of Silas Lapham''
was itself proclaimed the holder of
| the laurel wreath. a few years ago. in
one of his delightful Harper's maya
zine essays, clearly showed that there
can be no the" great American novel.
| And of course there can't. Which is
the greatest English novel? Is it Tom
Jones, Ivanhoe, Esmond. Copperfield,
or Richard Feverell? So there is no
one exclusively great American novel.
Mr.. William Allen White has not
| done what no one can do but he has
struck IL in fiction. He has written
a great novel, one fit, from any point
of view, to rank with the historic
masterpieces of fiction.
Mastery is perhaps the fittest ad-
jective to apply to Mr.. Whites work.
Previously his work has been that of
conscientious literary journalist but
| in his novel he stands revealed as one
skilled in understanding human life,
it's mainsprings and motives.
Smiles and tears culver through Mr..
Whites pages and while no lesson is
drawn by Mr.. White the indictment of
| the weakness of American character
is revealed as mercilessly as BalZac
| would do it and the effect on read
| ers time, place and conditions being
changed; must prove to be analogous
to the awakening which followed
Uncle Toms Cabin or, if you
| please, of which Mrs. Stoves work
was symptomatic. American life and
the life of Americans from 1857 to
1909 is the theme of Mr.. Whites
novel, with the titular character the
velops into captain of industry, and
who ruthlessly sacrifices friendship
and lives to pyramid up the National
Provisions company. which practically
controlled the nations food supply.
There is not an emotion of his
reader upon which Mr.. White cannot
and does not play, and all by means
of the real, throbbing, human life with
| which he inspires his characters. Kan
sas, of course, is the background Of
Mr.. Whites drama but ii is a Kan
sas which partakes of the universally
of human nature. That is the surprise
to Mr.. Whites former readers. He
has achieved mastership. Time will
not be wasted that is spent on Mr..
Whites novel. 1t is suited for real
Americans. 1t is a great American
novel-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

STRANGER KISSED
AND CALLED HER WIFE
Strange Likeness of Chicago Girl to
Another Causes Matrimonial
Complication

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Tillie T.
Tolan, who in 1907 proved in court
after a two weeks trial that she was
not the wife of stranger who
claimed her as his lawful spouse, has
been married to Henry Hammerstrom
after an event. courtship.
In the apr.ng OF 1907 Miss Tolan
pron,is to wcd EAmmerstrom. She
was Iroloyed as a saleswoman in a
dowrtoNn store. and Henry had a
business pos lion on the north side.
The date for the wedding was set.
Then came the storm.
Returning from work on a street
car one evening, Tillie became aware
that a strange young man was cycling
her closely. P esently he rushed up,
folded her in his arm. and in passion
ate tones cried out:
my wife, my darling, long lost
vie; o, way did you ss'er kcave me?''
Has Stranger Arrested.
The youos woman fought him off
and called Eor the police. The man
did not run away but protested on
the way 20 the police station that he
had only embraced his own wife. who
had deserted him. His name was
Joan KlimovitZ. His wife, he said
had left him several weeks before
and he naturally had greeted her af-
fectionately when he saw her on the
car.
When the case against him came to
trial he brought he mother-in-law
Mrs. Zamales from Grand Rapids
Mich, also his wlte's sister Mrs
Zamales positively identified Tillie as
her daughter before Judge Cleland
Klimovitz declared his wife could be
identified by mole on her back. Ar
examination disclosed that no such
mark was on Miss Tolan.
Concerning Size CT Feel.
K,tmovitz was not satisfied and
brought to court photogra ph of his
wife. Miss Tolan said she could put
her two feet in one OF the shoes worn
by the woman n the picture. Mrs
Klimovitz heard this in Elszn where
she was livr quietly. She came t
Chicago. bringing unmista kable proof
of her IDENTITY. Klimovitz later Sc
