the white slave investigation in New
York, is so appalled, and horror stricken
at the revelations in New York civ
and the international ramifcations of

description for spring humors and such

directly traceable to those unwholesome

HAWTHoRNE's ENVIRONMENTS.

Hawthornes Country, BY Helen Archi-
bald Clarke. The Baker and Taylor
Company. Publishers. New York.
This is a large, emptuous volume,
got up in excellent style. showing not
only the Hawthorne country but Haw-
thorne's travels. his impressions, his
labors, and in effect, his life. In the
considerable literature that has grown
up around Hawthorne and his cult, the
author has concluded that there is r.
place for q book on Hawthorne. "the
aim of which should be to show more
explicitly than has heretofore been
shown the relation between his life, his
experiences. and his work, and to illus
trate as fully as possible in the space
of one volume the general trend of his
genius and the elimination of its va
rious phases" especially as these were
affected by his environment.
Accordingly the writer has produced
this work in the hope that it "may fill
the pleasant office of recalling to those
who knew Hawthorne well in their
youth, the spell he then cast over them,
and that it may have stimulus to those
who have read not at all or only in
part, TO go to the fountain head and
drink to the full Of his fancy and wis

land. Next, there is chapter on ellis
toric miniatures, in which the ''atmos-
phere. as we might say, in which
Hawthorne reveiled is fairly described.
Next under Puritan Tragedies" we
have some of stories on which Haw-
thorne based his great works, and also
brief mention of other stories of the
tragical order in New England history
and life. Hawthorne as "The Artist

OUR POLITICAL EVILS.

The Land OF Living Men. BY Ralph
Waldo Trine. Published by Thomas Y.
Crowell Co. New York.
This is a prolific author on specula-
tive subjects. He tries also to find his
speculations beneficial TO the daily life
of mankind. The problems which he
considers are related particularly to the
great losses which the people sustain
by allowing others to do their governing
for them. The loss Of untold wealth
is claimed "that now goes entirely into
the possession of the few who make
knowledge of governing their business,
with the resulting corruption. misman-
agement. and waste, and the steady un.
dermining of the very foundations of
our Institutions The author consid-
ers the causes of the conditions he out
lines from his standpoint, as well as the
agencies at work quietly and steadily
increasing and aiming to perpetuate
these conditions. AS he says, and as
everyone who speaks of the evils that
exist also says. the remedy is complete
ly and absolutely in the hands of the
people: which is quite true, but it is
also true that the people in our com
plicated system of government are I'M.
able to avail themselves of their power
or TO reach the way to get the benefits
they desire, As discussion of the
subject. however, this book has it's use
and is interesting TO read.
