POLITICAL ADDRESSES.

Politician. Party and People: Addrosscg Dolly
cred In tho Page Lecture Series. 1912. Before the
Senior Class OF the Sheffield Scientific School
Ynlc University. BY Henry Crosby Emery
LII D.. Professor Of Political Economy In Yale
University. Yale University Press. New Haven,
These addresses number five. namely,
"Tne Voter and the Facts THE Voter
and the Party" Tile ., Voter and His
and His Constituency and THE Repre-
sentative and His Party" Each of these
five lectures aims To he both practical
and instructive. All are, In fact, in
structivc from the academic standpoint,
but whether they are practical or not Is
quite another matter We doubt very
much II the pupil would get a true idea
from them of what Is known as 'practi-
cal politics" However, Professor Emery
would have practical politics and better
politics merged He claims that the man
who causes ''pra ciical politics. to be used
IN the right sense will be the saving Of
the country. The author maintains the
high standard OF ethical IDEAS. His book
differs from the usual treatment of po-
ltiCal duties. as he deals with things as
they are, hut this dealing is from the
ideal standpoint athcr than from the
rough and tumble OF the actual political
proceedings as among the contentious of
the people Still. IT Is a valuab BILE book
to the man who Is anxious to be of serv-
ice to his country In the arena OF poll
tics; and we do not think that anything
better than this can be presented to the
undergraduates Of Yale, or OF any other
university.

In this story the romance and reality
conveyed are fairly described as doing
for the Philippines work similar to Kip

India as the story OF kim describes it
SO this displays life in the Philippine
Islands. and reveals the habits and
thought of the people there. The ro-
