but 1t Is challenge nevertheless to
all Republicans in executive and legis-

Fortified though he may be by party
platforms and party traditions, Mr.
Bennett must know that in proposing
this policy he defies presidential pow
er, never SO great as 1t Is today. He
must know that In speeches in New
York and In the south Mr.. Taft has
virtually approved the notification Of
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments. He must know that the presi-
dent has openly announced that no
Negroes shall be appointed to ONCE in
opposition to the wishes Of the whites.
He must know that of all the Repub

holders he is the only one who has
had the courage to adhere to the pub
lished principles Of his party. He must
know that no important Republican
newspaper will venture to support him.

when moral ideas prevailed, the one

the hosts that draw their inspiration

stands stanch and true for the princi.

AS real heroes are rare In public life,
Mr.. Bennett Is entitled to more than

shadowed by executive power which

Poushkin, who has been styled Rus
sia's black Byron"
Poushkin's childhood was passed in
his parents home at Sacharowo, about
forty miles from Moscow, on the Smo-
lensk railroad. The grandmother, Ma
rie Alexjewna, was highly gifted
woman, though unhappily married to
Ossip, the son Of Abraham Hannibal.
She and the nurse of Alexander ex-
erted considerable influence over him,
especially the latter, who during this
period of his life made him acquainted
with the world of Russian folklore.
The atmosphere Of his home at that
time was considerably French. Alex
ander's father, sergei Lwowitch Qborn

er, Wassilli LwOwitch, who was known
at the beginning Of the century as
Poet Poushkin" and who died in
1880, were bright, witty men, especial
ly Wassilli, who was famed for his
sparkling epigrams and light lyric
pieces. We cannot in the limited space
given us do more than to mention
briefly some Of the best poems and
prose works Of young Poushkin. His
poetical tales are spirited and full Of
dramatic power. Among the tragedies
written by him may be mentioned
Boris Godunov" and Eugene Onye.
gin," his masterpiece. Among the best
Of his short stories are "The Captains
Daughter" "The Undertaken" THE
Pistol Shot" and "The Queen Of
Spades"
A fine collection Of his poems have
been translated into English by Mr..
Ivan Panin, one Of which, my Pedi-
gree was written as a reply to a
Bulgarian literary critic who disliked
him and made an unpleasant allusion
to his ancestry The poem Is too
lengthy for insertion here, but we may
say that the poet silenced his critic
very effectively Other poems are 1.-THE
Bard" "The Storm" Winter Even
Ing" "The Poet" and "My Monument"
In 1899 the one hundredth anniver-
sary Of the birth Of Poushkin was eel
ebrated all over Russia. It was made
a national holiday. The government
issued souvenir postal cards illustrat-
ing scenes in the life Of the poet, and
the emperor ordered that an annual
appropriation Of 5000 rubles be made
by the government to establish 4
Poushkln scholarship. In 1880 monu-
ment was erected to bis memory at
Tver Barrier, Moscow, and the school
children and literary and civic societies
paid homage to his memory at this
celebration by decking 1t with gar
lands Of flowers. A great parade pre-
ceded the exercises at the monument,
which was participated in by the i'm
perial troops, citizens and students,
and then followed orations by learned
Russian scholars, the mayor Of Mos
COW and others.
Poushkin was killed in a duel In
1887 with Baron George Heckeron
d'Authes, the adopted son Of the Dutch
minister then resident at the court Of
st. Petersburg, who had married SIS
