FRANCIS SPEECH ACCEPTED.
State Department at Washington Issued
the o. X.

Washington, d. c., Jan. l6.-Practi-
cal confirmation of Ambassador Francis
statement at Petrograd that closer COM
mercial relations with Russia can hard
ly be brought about, ''if the principles OF
resolution of the economic conference OF
the allies last June are confirmed and
carried out" was given at the state de-
partment Yesterday with the statement
that an inquiry probably would not be
sent to the ambassador about his re-
marks.
In two recent cases-Ambassador Ger
ards speech in Berlin and Minister Van
Dykes statement at the Hague the de-
partment made inquiries.
The Paris economic conference has
been viewed with alarm here as sug-
gestive of exclusive trade Agreements
that his words are acceptable to the adj
lean foreign trade.
Ambassador Francis statement is the
first public official expression of note
on it and the fact that no inquiry will
be made of him and that no official con-
tradiction was issued yesterday at the
department is understood to indicate
that his words are acceptable to the adj
ministraton.
Recent reports that new commercial
treaty is to be negotiated with Russia
are met with the statement there that no
program has been made to that end since
Ambassador Francis first failed several
months ago to break down Russia's OPP
position to treaty allowing Russian
Jews to enter the country under Amer
lean passports.

THE HUMAN SIDE OF CHRIST.

Dean Evans of William Jewell Col

mon for the graduating class of Har-
din College Sunday. Rev. o. o. Green
of this city gave the invocation and
choir composed of students in the
Voice Department of Hardin sang
special anthems for the occasion.
Dean Evans subject was THE
Human Side of Christ" The human
side of Christ's teachings, the side
which appeals to the man, the woman
and the child, was specially empha-
sized.
The Dean thought that the Bible
student who discusses the millenni-
um, expecting it in the near future,
is wasting valuable time.

MARK TwAIN's ESSAYS.
Is Man a Machinist or Something
More, Merely?

Samuel L. Clemens has been dead
seven years, yet there is a steady
stream of Mark Twain literature still
forthcoming in What is-Man?" (Har-
per & Brothers), his publishers have
combined previous unpublished es-
says with several that are reprinted.
The title piece is a philosophical
discussion between an old man and
a young man as to whether man is
merely a machine, or something
more. Into this discussion, which is
in dialogue, are worked pertinent OBJ
servations on the many other ques-
tions. Mark Twain's admirers claim
that had he not been a professional
humorist, he would have ranked high
as a philosopher. Those who are
looking for the customary Clemens
humor will have to turn further in the
present volume.
The second of the essays is hith-
erto unpublished account of the death
VI hio houbhtSlI JtdlS mlllbtu ny WI
Clemens on the day it occurred,
Christmas, 1909. There is a foot note
by Albert Bigelow Paine, which says
the author gave the sketch to Mr..
Payne few hours after it was writ
ten, saying he had done it merely to
relieve his feelings and authorizing
his biographer to print it at some fu-
ture time If he saw fit. Evidently,
Mr.. Payne has never seen fit up to the
present, and there are some reasons
for wishing he had withheld it alto
gether. There is a poignant note
throughout, and some of the details
are scarcely of public interest, al
though the great authors views on
death, attendance at funerals, and the
description of the faithful dog are
worth preserving.
Other essays in this volume are
Turning Point in My Life" How
to Make Dates Stick" and other
miscellaneous writings, including a
! tribute to William Dean Howells
The essay as Shakespeare Read?'
and the authors description of how
he learned to ride an old-fashioned
high-wheeled bicycle are in Mark
Twain's best style.
