A new measure that will be pre-
scented to the next session of the
General Assembly will have to do
with the creation Of state constab-
ulary. The reason why the measure
will be introduced is the number Of
bank robberies that have taken place
mot only in Missouri but in neighbor-
ing states the past two years. The
movement has its origin in the hope
bf the smaller towns and commune
ties that the presence Of such force
in the state would deter robbers.

tators and visionary theorists. What
is needed, in the authors opinion. is a
steady, nationwide effort on the part of
captains Of industry and sane labor
leaders to combat the fallacies of the
radical with the bedrock facts of
economic law. Mr.. Emerson quotes with
approval a suggestion offered by Mr..
Pomeroy Burton, manager of 'The Lon

IF the men who represent all grades
and kinds of business throughout every
part of the United States were to unite
IN movement not to fight labor, not
to fight capital, but fearlessly to ex.
pose the faults of both, and simply and
fairly to spread the truth, they could
avert the whole trend of events and
avert consequences that are not pleas

Mr.. Emerson presents distinctly
novel conception of the nature and
purpose of American liberalism. His
work pos asses the distinct advantage
Of not being calculated to offend the
sensibilities of the average conserv-

The author gives a vivid account OF
Mr.. Bradlaugh's expulsion from the

Bradlaugh gave his fellow members the
spectacle OF freefor-all fight before
he was elected. AS Mr. Hutchinson de-

1T not quite SO easy to exclude. Per

He was self-educated, had begun work
as office boy, proceeded to be a COM

had learned self-reliance and some
thing of the use of very unusual thews
and sinews. He exercised the latter at
the expense of the ten policemen, but
they were too many for him. When he
resigned himself, disheveled, torn and

friendly with them, and the friendliness
was mutual
Ultimately, of course, Bradlaugh was
given his seat; and the right of. the
English electors to exercise their fran

1t is sometimes given to strong and
simple and silent men to inspire the
warmest and most heartfelt tributes

I'm THIS day it is customary to tuck
b each poet neatly into his appointed
ID pigeonhole, but it is somewhat per-
picking to find compartment in
which to place Witter Bynnsr. There is
fine lyrical tendency in his verses, but
we hardly could bracket him with Sara
Teasdale; there is strong social note.
but he does not belong with James OPP
penheim; he writes we'll of the country
side about him, but he is not of the
tribe of Vachel Lindsay; his work is
tinged throughout with impressionism,
but he has little in common with Miss
Amy Lowell We could keep this up
forever and yet not place Mr.. Bynner
in any of the contemporary schools. !"
Hut perhaps pigeonholes were
not designed for singing birds.
Mr.. Bynner's latest volume, "a Can
tiele of Pan" {Knonfl, again reveals
him as many sided poet, daft WORK
man and an ardent seeker after beauty.
Yet his search for beauty frequently is
MIS- undoing, For his attempts to recap

A/H SONS "Portraits of the
4 V n Eighties" (scribner's) is an
admirable sequel to Mr..
Justin McCartlys PORTRAITS Of the
Sixties" and - G. W. Z. Russell's
"Portraits of the Seventies" Among
the figures who appear on Mr.. Hutch
inson's literary canvas are Charles
Stewart Parnell, Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.
Bright, Joseph Chamberlain, Swim
burne, George Meredith and Oscar
Wilde.
To describe a personality within the
compass of q brief sketch demands an
artistic talent of no mean order. The
author cannot afford to become prosy
by merely giving the biographical de-
tails of an individual career At the
same time he must not lapse into what
has been wittily called "anecdotage"
by relating a large number of trivial
and possibly apocryphal stories. Mr..
Hutchinson steers safe middle course
between these two dangerous extremes
AS result he gives a fair, faithful
and tangible representation Of every
man whom he takes up.
Unlike many Englishmen the author
does not worship at the shrine of Mr..
Gladstone. One suspects that he has
never forgiven the Grand Old Man for
his final stand in favor of Irish Home
Rule. He quotes with evident approval
Mrs. Gladstone's shrewd observations
civilian would be a great bore, If he
were not genius" And he pokes a
little fun at the reverential awe which
Mt. Gladstone inspired in some of his
relatives and close friends. At the same
time Mr. Hutchinson is not malicious
or unfair; he pays a deserved tribute
to Mr. Gladstone's deep and sincere
moral feeling, and to his unmatched
gifts in augmentation and debate.
, When he discusses Parnell the
author gives the impression of trying
to be scrupulously fair to man whom
he heartily dislikes. 1t is easy to
read between the lines that Mr. Hutch
inson is an intensely loyal and patriotic
Englishman; and Parnell's hatred of
England and contempt for the British
Parliament seem almost sacrilegious to
him. Still he is willing to give the
devil his due. He is not willing to
agree with one of Parnell's critics that
