Yet the little volume before lis is

A WICKED CLERGYMAN.

MRS. BRAND. BY II. a. Mitchell Keays.
l2mo, PIP. 375 Boston: Small. Maynard
d Co
Mrs. Keays's new novel, her publish
ers announce, Is "a study Of a decadent
church as contrasted with a living rell-
gon." So it is, especially In its clos
ing pages. but, in pointing her moral,
the author has been tempted into too
strong a use Of contrasts, with the re-
suit that this is most Of the way a
picture OF remarkably villanous
clergyman, who stops at nothing, not
even at indirect murder, in the further
ance of his worldly ambitions. Coin
cidence. too, plays rather arbitrary
role, but the story is excellent in
its reflection OF the "churchly," as
distinct from a religious, atmosphere
OF a fashionable parish In Chicago
suburb. To the self-seeking clerical
wording is opposed an as thoroughly
self sacrificing physician who was gone
into the slums TO serve the poor. All
the phases OF the fiction of this kind
are employed with, as has already been
said, a practically unavoidable over
emphasis OF contrasts. The woman in
the case, wife and widow. is brought
into contact with A girl Of the streets
at one extreme of her awakening. and

from a parent or ancestor, as John the
son Of William, or John Williamson;
from the place of residence, az John OF
the Moor, or John Moore; from the
trade or occupation Of the bearer, as
John the smith, or John Smith; or from
some personal attribute or characters

Almost all the names in any list taken
al random may be assigned TO these
four classes.
There have been, of course, many
adoptions OF ancient, Biblical and for
eign names, and almost innumerable
phonetic changes. Mechanics are null
titudinous, often becoming standard
names, just as slang words are legiti-
mized into the vocabulary. In the
course of successive changes some
strange transformations appear. Who,
for example, would suppose the COM
mon Yorkshire patronymic Of Tankard,
suggestive OF the tap room, to be
disguise Of the chivalrous Tancred!

dividuals and society. Sickness, purg'
larry. lack of employment, dishonesty
and various other things have from
/ time TO time been brought into the heio
which il seemed practicable and hitting
to cover with insurance.
Originally. as We have said, insur-
ance was undertaken by private cor
pora tons, some of them proprietary
and some mutual" In the same man
ner insurance against burglary, defalca-
ton and other things was erected
The work of insuring against sickness
idleness and other personal misfortunes
was. however, left for the so-called
friendly" or mutual benefit societies,
secret or otherwise. In both America
and Great Britain these organizations
have been numerous, influential and on
the whole doubtless highly benefcial.
Now. however, arises the proposal 10
have these latter systems. IT, indeed,
not all insurance, undertaken by the
government and made compulsory upon
all. for the benefit of society or the
state as a whole. as we'll as for the sim
gle individual.
There IS a common thought that such
governmental functions are appropriate
only under the paternalism of Europe
Mr.. Rubinow in his encyclopaedia vol
ume shows the applicability of such
system TO American needs and condi-
tons. Destitution is, in his view. the
chief obstacle to progress, and unfor-
tunately II cannot be denied that much
restitution exists In the United States.
He holds that probably the only eff
fective means of preventing widespread
restitution is to be found in a COM
prehensive national system of compul
sorry insurance, covering the risks not
only Of death. but also OF sickness, ac-
cident, invalidity and unemployment,
as well as the inevitable disability Of
old age
The great danger 10 be guarded
against in such a system Is. of course,
that Of pauperlzation. The average

without his own effort. and there is
danger Of a relaxation Of industry. The
problem is 10 arrange system OF in
surance which will not impair the in

would seem TO require that the insured
shall participate in providing for insur-
ance, as well as in the profits Of II.
Perhaps that end would he gained by
the states guarantee Of certain bene-
/ fit, the minimum which would be ade-
quate for support. and by letting all
above that be conditioned upon the per-
sonal achievements of the insured.
! The whole question Is. no doubt.
highly contentious, and 1t may be that
We shall never have general agreement
upon II. But to all it's interesting and

luminous and authoritative contribu-
tons in a work which students of So
cial economies cannot well afford TO ig-
