A POLITICAL NOVEL.
The Mnn Higher Up." Written on
Conventional Lines.

No srikingly new note is sounded in
The Man Higher Up. 10y Henry Russell
Miller. which Merrill. OF Indian
apolls, have just issued from their
presses. But this does not mean that the
theme, although it has formed the basis
for half dozen or more works Of fiction
and drama recently. is not embroidered
with care and a goodly share Of realism.
1t is strictly the story Of the rise 10
power politically of one man. Through
the rotten corruption and dirty politics
he founders for many chapters. only to
emerge at the end as the savior OF his
party his city. and his State-a reformer
and a clean politician. Bob" McAdoo
begins life rather pathetically as an aban-
doned little waif in the Steel City. BY
his fists alone he cOnquers at first, but
afterward he develops the cunning and
the craftiness OF his kind and plunges
into the maelstrom Of ward politics
There are two women in his life. the
young Irish girl, Kathleen, who eats her
heart out for him IN vain. He has little
time for women in the bigness Of his
fight. Afterward the woman of a higher
class, whom he begins by cordially hat

his desires. Her influence in his purifca-
ton IS important, but curlously welded
Altogether the story is one Of power.
1t gives an idea OF the Titanic powers
that are always contending for suprem-
acy in mankind. It also gives a pretty
vivid picture of how some political ma

THE INDUSTRIOUS PRINCE. ="
Japanese Strategy the Basis of OPP
prnheim'S Latest Book.


! To T. Phillips Oppenheim cannot be
denied the honor Of being one OF the
most interesting Of authors Of the more
popular style Of novels. II is true that
his works seldom attain to any great
degree OF literary perfection-he writes
too many TO pay much attention to that
But they are almost invariably interest
ing from the first page TO the last He
has the knack of catching the attention
of the reader right from the start and
holding IL until the close Of the final
chapter, and this is one Of the primary
requisites for a successful novelist
This ability 90 attract and hold the in
terest of the reader has seldom been
better illustrated than in his latest
quasi-diplomatic work. The Illustrious
Prince" The story opens with the
Lusitauia being delayed over night at
Liverpool and an unknown man present
ing letter TO the captain Of the vessel
which letter has the effect Of making the
latter order n special boat and sending
the passenger ashore Immediately. al
though he has had orders that no one is
terious man presents another letter TO
the station master and has a special
train made up AZ once and speeds on 70
London. the only passenger on the
train. When the special arrives at the
metropolis the police discover the man
murdered and his pockets rided Of al
papers.
Thus, from the very beginning does
THE Illustrious Prince move with that
lightning-like rap.dity so dear TO the
present generation Of novel readers. and
il is safe to say that any one who once
commences it will find it hard to lay It
down
Besides telling the story well. the au-
thor has also the capacity for good char
acter drawing, and his picture Of Prince
Mayo, the illustrious prince. who adheres
TO his tenets at even the risk Of his life.
Is one that can but seem real after the
recital OF so many like incidents of the
Russo-Japanese war. The only thing that
might mot please an American reader
would be the extreme liking which all
the white women Of the book have for the
Monaghan prince-something that does
not appeal on this side OF the water.
But with the exception of this defect
which probably will not appear 20 very
many cursory readers. the book is most
readable and enjoyable. and the many
devotees Of this rather sensational au-
thor will find that his latest work is
entirely up TO, if not ahead Of the
standard of The Mysterious Mr. Sabin."
The Maker Of History" THE Betrayal"
and his others OF similar stamp.

Need of Local Self-GOvernment.

When anything in public affairs goes
wrong, men are prone to charge the fault
upon the public officers. If it is state
matter then the governor and legislature
are charged with it; if it is national
matter, then the president and congress
are blamed, and we are prone to say
at the next election we will see chat they
are retired We forget that the governor
and Legislature but symbol the people of
the state; the president and congress but
symbol the character of the nation
1t is clear, then, that the first things to
reform are the homes of the people.
Many of them need no reformation, but
many of them do. And when we know
that neighbours home is not watched
over, that his children are not taught
nor respect for others, then it
is proper to draw away from such neigh
Dor, hold him and his arms length and
in that way beat the truth into his mind
