This is a powerful dramatic novel

Much injustice was wrought by the

This is an English story, which gives
the WAYS of life in that old land and

by community life in It's present
organization. Two women and one
man may make formidable tangle IN
that social life. But in Utah the
situation would not even be tho be,

deal of ingenuity, however, for this

HIGH SOUNDING. BUT SHALLOW.

Individual Sovereignty: Being a Revised
Edition OF Pleasure and Progress. By
y. NJ Lorenz. The Mayhem Publish
ing Company. Boston.
The writer Of this book believes fer.
vently in ndividualism. He is not at
all for the doctrine that the State
should do for the inhahitant; he should
do for himself Up TO certain point
the State is useful but beyond the mat
ter of protection to person and rights,
the individual is the boss. The author
would do away with many cherished
things, as the gallows: he doesn't be
lieve in hanging men. He would also
do away with the public school house
and release the children. but how he
would educate is not clear. 1t is a
book full of aphorisms and sententious
expressions. but often these are not as
well founded as they might be II is
not n sensational book, nor is it origi-
nal; but a composite, approaching in
many points the commonplace.

REALISM WITH POWER,

The Scar: a Novel OF the New South.
Fly Warrington Dawson, Published by
Small. Maynard e. Company Boston.
This story is OF the second and third
generations after the war. The worst
of the struggle TO regain position and
case has passed, and yet there is much
to restore. But in it all, from first to
last, is seen the rigIdity of traditional
views, the compulsion OF keeping up
the old spirit, tho deadly determination
not to yield to the now order. This
feeling makes an environment which is
as real n prison TO the soul as stone
Jail is TO the body of the imprisoned.
The pitiless realism of the story grips
the heart. After the blight of war
came the fierce struggle of helpless men
and women. There was not alone ma
terial ruin, there was ruin 10 the race.
