From Alien to Citizen, E. A. Steiner.
An absorbing story, beginning with
his coming to America in the steerage,
through years of severe labor, poverty,
and spiritual struggle until he realizes
his religious ideal is universal brother
hood and his life work the emigrant
cause. There is no bitterness in his
heart and his belief and love for
America is supreme, yet we wish the
way had been less difficult and that
more hands had been out-stretched to
help.

Deer or apples, That is one OF the

mont Legislature We say apples,
and it doesn t take very long to come
to that conclusion either Deer in the

couraged, but when they become nu-
merous enough to invade settled com
munities and cripple industry and dis
courage the investment of capital,
death should be the penalty. Windham

Understanding the French. X. l.. Hartt.
Entertaining and keen analysis of the
French character. How sympathetic is
shown by this quotation from the last
chapter: ''Of almost any Frenchman,
gathered to his fathers, / think you
may say without extravaganza, He
was strong in body, despite most I'M
toward circumstances; serious in mind.
though capable of infinite jollity;
gifted with rare genius, albeit of n
technical rather than practical order;
artistic, and therefore courteous; in
morals no Puritan, but at the same
time no hypocrite; religious, and only
the more so ii his religion consisted IN
q passionate hatred of all religion
whatsoever; fiery in his love of chill
dren, of glory, and of sociability; pa
tient under government except when
cruelty used or when assailed in prin-
ciple. In a ward, he was human, and
if he had his weaknesses. he neverthe-
less displayed q hardihood, tender
ness, and a romantic idealism that won
| him the love and admirirg remcm-
| brauce Of all who knew him well. -

Editor Of The Reformer:
Dear Sir: l notice that The Re
former Of Feb. IL contained an edi-
torial in which it i estimated thar
>cven-eIghts of the women OF this
country are either opposed to women
suffrage or Indifferent to this question.
This estimate is based upon a more
specific estimate concerning the opin-
ion of the women of New York city.
Along this line might | submit a
few figures showing the expression of
America : leading women upon this
subject! The w oman : Who : Who. -
I914-I5. biographical dictionary Of
contemporary women of the United
States and Canada. contains such an
expression OF sentiment. \ poll was
taken among the 9.644 women whose.
biographies appear in this book. OF
this number $3.50 expressed their views
upon woman suffrage. 4.7S7 voting in
favor and only 713 against.
Even if we assume that all of the
remaining 4,OS4 women who did not
express their opinion be counted as am
| ti-suffragists. and ii we add their mum
| Der to the 713 out-and-out "antis' We
have Il total of 1857. which is scarcely
larger than the 4,7s7 avowed suffra
