Here's a Book

Something In the book line which is
the story OF men and women and which
is not necessarily love story-quite q
novelty. but Katharine Holland Brown
has been able to write one called The
IIallowcll Partnership" published by
Charles Scribner's Sons. of New York.
Not possessing any dangerous literary
beauties, yet interesting and cleverly
told. this story of the partnership OF IA
brother and "A sister. the latter weak
from long illness. is a happy lesson
in cheerfulness and the reward that
comes with hard work In the behalf of
some cherished purpose.
Marian Hallowell, at home with her
brother. Roderick. after Il long illness
at college, finds time hanging rather
heavily on her hands until she goes to
Illinois. Here Roderick, who is II min
ing engineer has taken on u very diff
hcult contract. the fulhllment of which
will mean the success of both of the
"cub" engineers who find themselves
suddenly masters of the situat Ion. How
Roderick and his friend pull through
the long months and how Marian re-
gains her health. happiness and interest
In life all at the same time makes an
interesting and likabie story. Dogs
babies, and old ladies brighten the pages
and several illustrations add to the
charm OF Miss Browns book. 1t was
first published in serial form In the
Souths Companion

MERELY REFLECTIVE.

Our ancestors appear first in the picture our mind
makes of them as cave men peering suspiciously at
the light. Eacn cave man sinks out when no other
cave man is to be seen and grabs what he can and
shambles back with it to his own hole in the rocks.
Later on they bulk more conspicuously as tribes
with some gmmering that the tribe has to stand
together to get the advantages that the cave men
lacked
Then the tribe swells to village and the village
to city and the city to a nation, and there grows
with that increasing habit of association the feeling
for effort that we call social consciousness
Thereupon a medicine man begins to talk and he
says that the feeling for social consciousness is only
the devil tempting US to put our necks beneath the
yoke of despotism and he VOWS that the cave man
was an individuast who knew that the less govern
ment we had the better.
Sometimes we think that the medicine man is a
philosopher, and at others conclude that he can't
the forest for the trees. Very often that thought
depends upon whether our cave happens to be large
and we'll furnished or only hole in hollow tree

Changes in Rules
Governing Parcels
Post Are Planned

Last minute changes to be made in
the regulations for the operation O.
the parcels post will keep them from
the public probably for several days.
or until next Monday.
Postmaster General Hitchcock 10 to
discuss with the committee which drew
the regulations. several features to
which he has not given his full ap-
proval.
1t seems now that oil live animals
will be barred, even though they COM
within the limit OF weight and size of
container. There was question Of
letting IN live chickens and other SIM
liar small fowl, which are marketable.
1t was found, however. that the ad.nis-
sion Of live poultry would open the
doors to rabbits, guinea pigs. squirrels.
or most any other small animal.
Though no ofhc.a, statement can be
had, /, Is well understood that all live
things will be barred In the regulations
as they finally reach the public.
II this is the case. the day-old chick

scntatives In Washington before Con-
gress to urge the passage OF the par

that doctrine is applied to those existing conditions
which antagonize it so emphatcally.
The Interstate Commerce Commission Is an ex.
tension of the powers Of Government
The Forest Service is an extension Of the powers
Of Government.
The conservation Of the public lands Is an ex.
tension Of the powers Of Government
The pure food and drugs law Is an extension Of
the powers Of Government.
The general demand for national employers
liability law could only be complied with through an
extension Of the powers Of Government.
The creation Of 4 national Health Department
could only be secured by an extension Of the powers
Of Government.
II there be any other way to handle the Alaskan
coal lands question than that Of extending the pow.

And unless the President-elect mas some novel
plan Of his for dealing with those social and in.

November proved the people to be thinking about

thing without discarding his campaign paludament.

THE POINT OF VIEW.

BY what base alchemy Of thought is it that the
opponents of woman suffrage conceive such a vas,
disrespect for women when discussing the question
Of putting them on a mere political equality with
men. They are wiling II they know their poets to
tell lady that her "eyes stars Of morning." and
to murmur anything from never the time and the
place and the loved one all together to Il choose
to wear you stamped all me-" and the rest of it.
And they say that she is superior being" whom
men should look up to with reverence. But when
it comes to giving the Angel vote so that she may
get better working conditions for herself in factories
and stores the Gallant Blade to fancy that he
is demolishing that necessity by saying that the
hand that rocks the cradle rules the world" And
the women who have to work in factories and stores
know better. 1t seems to depend in good many
cases upon whether you are inside the factory look
ing out or outside and not caring to look in.

OLD SAWS AND NEW TIMBER,

The next four years will show, as we'll as things
Of that kind can be shown in such me the political
and administrative and social value of the Wilsonan
doctrine that the history Of liberty is the history Of
the limitation of the powers of government"
When the Presdent.elect made that statement
ne did it as premise to cut away the ground from
the social justice" propaganda Of the Progressive
party.
1t was not made in Pickwckian sense, like that
other statement of his in which he asserted that the
trusts were behind" the Progressive movement 1t
was made to prove the lack of sound philosophy in
the Progressive platform.
And it will be interesting to observe how the
application of that lassez-aire doctrine works out
in the history Of the Wilson Administration 1t will
be Interesting also, to see whether, and how far,

THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA-"

When the second Roosevelt Administration came
to an end the question Of the conservation of our
natural resources had taken a clear place in the
public mind. Certain things had been fixed upon
as good for the whole people. A method was being
devised for dealing with our public lands. The
Forest Service had made its fight and won its fight
for the understanding and the good will of Western
people. The Taft Administration, by means of the
Ballinger episode, did more than a little to undo
some of that work and the appointment Of Secretary
Fisher only stopped the backward drift. But now
one Western governor has promised to organize a
movement Of other Western governors with the pur-
pose of asking Congress to transfer to the Western
States the control of all the public lands within their
boundaries. II Congress refuses that request the
refusal will be an abandonment of the democratic
doctrine of States rights. If Congress shows any
intention to grant that request protest against it
will ring from every State in the Union.

THE PRESIDENTIAL TEMPTER.

Measures forbidding the succession Of the Presi.
dent by himself we're up before both Judiciary Com
mittees of Congress at the recent session. and will
be pressed again with more vigor because both Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Taft are committed to the principle
of such a constitutional amendment.
BY the time This proposed prohibition can be put
into the Constitution most Of the States will have
fair Presidential preference primary law. BY that
time it is possible that there will be national Presi.
Dental primary as advocated by the Progressive
party
In any case the day will have gone by when a
President could get denomination by virtue Of the
Federal patronage. II he is eligible he will have no
advantage over his competitors for the nomination
when the award is made directly by the voters Of the
party in the United States. II he attempts to use
the Federal oAiceholders in his behalf the attemp,
will be resented by the voters at the primaries, as il
was punished by the voters at the polls this month
1t was the use of the Federal machine by Presi.
dents to renominate themselves which created the
sentiment in favor of constitutional Limitation to
which the Democratic party is pledged and which Mr.
Taft supports in principle. With nationwide Presi-
Dental preference primaries the danger Of future
abuses Of official power like the we nave wit
messed will be slight. Nevertheless there is some.
thing in the argument that President who puts
away from him all thought of another term even for
the most faithful services will concentrate making
good record for his single term; and will do better
with virtue as its own and only reward than with the
prize of second term always dangling before his
eyes and distracting him from the task for which he
was chosen.

THE WILSON CABINET.

We think it ought to be taken for granted, and
we think it may be taken for granted that when the
Presidentelect forms his Cabinet, he will make his
appointments only with view to the effective service
Of his country and that he will be moved neither by
motives Of political gratitude nor by motives Of
partisan expediency in doing that work.
The President-elect is not in the ordinary sense
politically ambitious 1t is noteworthy fact in mis-
recent history that he has kept himself clear from
any intimate relations with the leaders Of the party
that nominated him. Before and during and since
the Baltimore convention he has walked inscruta.
bly, alone.
On many occasions in his campaign speeches he
said in clear terms that he regarded himself rSther
as the representative Of the people tan the candi.
date Of party. He was sometimes emphatic In the
expression Of that view. And it seems at present to
be probable that, in forming his Cabinet he will be
guided by public considerations, amelorated only by
reasonable regard for the suseeptibilties Of his
Congressional supporters.

DIPLOMACY AND THE SHERMAN AC7

The Brazilian government has indicated a com.
mendable disposition to preserve good commercial
relations with the United States in connection with
the international coffee valorizaton project That
project has established q world.trust in coffee
Brazs monopoly Of about 80 per cent Of the worlds
production, REINFORCED by the resources of great
financial powers in this country and Europe, having
undertaken the ambitious scheme Of dominating the
worlds market The law Of supply and demand was
ruthlessy repealed, and the repeal made effect.
i've, too.
The United States is as distinctvely the great
coffeeusing country Brazil is the great coffee.
producing country. Our American domination OF the
worlds supplies of cotton, and Germanys control Of
potash, are the two cases that may be cited as
parallels to the Brazilian power over coffee The
success of the Farmers Union in influencing upward
the price of raw cotton must be kept in mind as We
incline to denounce the efforts Of Brazil and Ger.
many to make the most out Of their coffee and potash
monopolies. But there is a sharp difference The
Brazilian and German monopolies have the backing,
recognition, and support of the state; the American
effort to control cotton lacks that very important
element.
: If the big lawsuit of our Government against the
Coffee trust can be settled by diplomacy and nego.
tiaton, it will be most desirable outcome. 1t will
tend to cement commercial relations between the two
nations, whereas the prosecution of the suit and the
possible forced sale of the valorized coffee stored
in New York could not fail to cause harsh sent-
ments on the part of Brazil.

ONE REASON.

The New York World seems to be concerned
about the fact that the Presidential vote Of this
was 100000 less than it was in 1908. Perhaps the
decrease in the vote is due to the increased strin.
gency Of the registration laws in several Of
the States. With the steadily diminishing power
Of the machines" and the bosses the tendency to
vote early and vote often" is not so popular as it
was.
