In Buch a (Hat Inguisliert presence, therefore, this Far West reviewer who was once a for ciKnr hut is now a naturalized American itizrm feels chastened and subdued. It is, however, pertinent to wonder why such a book hearing the stamp New Knglnrnd senilis should be published by n firm in wild Chicago? One would have instlrartlvely chosen Boston for this hon or. It suggests the Hick Bay. nlso the sunny side of Commonwealth avenue. "A "Woman for Mayor" both amuses and interests, and leads us on to a happy finish." While, it bears the stamp of the experienced story writer, yet the fact can't bo concealed that Miss Winslow has something more to lrarn concerning: the- , political machinery of a large American city. We are introduced to the city of . Rom, whevro the women are entitled to vote with the. men. but the name of the state Isn't given. The regular monthly luncheon of the Progressive Women Is In progress, and it appears that the Mayor of the city is ill with an incurable dis ease, and that the Democrats propose to run Barnaby Burke as Mayor, "with a ravenous pack of demagnsrues behind him." The women agree that their city Is going to the dogs, that municipal af fairs were never so muddled, and their one complaint is that no reputable citi zen will oppose the said Barney Burke. Kmlnent cliizerw. on being approached, plead that their business affairs :ire too pressing, and that "politics had sunk to such a pass in the town that no decent man would touch the City Hall with a pair of tongs." "I wish I were a man." says Miss Cler trude Van Densen, "I'd run for Mayor! I wouldn't let the figure of defeat worry me. I'd make a fight. I would, and we'd pec If tho demagogues had everything their own wny." "Why not run. then?" asked Mrs. Bate man, smiling across the table. "Think of the field of activities that would open up before a Rood woman. The condition tif our paupers, of our children's insti tutions, of our schools. Think of tho Intemperance and the vagrancy and the immorality that flourish under our very noses. Yes, and the machine politics that keep them flourishing. Oh, there Is so much to be done, and our good men too busy, or as they claim too high minded to meddle with It." For the sake of good government. Miss Van Densen consents to be a candidate for Mayor. She is 3D years of. age. had been educated thoroughly and broadly, in an American college, and later at Girton. and her mind had been developed still further through constant association with her father, who had been United States Senator. She had been left a large for tune on the death of her father, and tho estate where she lived was one of tho how places of the town. The women politicians call for support n John Allingham, chairman of tho Roma Municipal League, but when ho finds that their nominee for Mayor is Miss Van Densen, ho la dazed. No; he won't co operate, and Is forced by tho Municipal League people to become their candidate against Miss Van Densen. Tho latter Is tho nominee of the City Reform Club, and her political manager Is her second cousin. Bailey Armstrong. On tho eve of a Joint debate with each other. Miss Van Densen and Allingham are abducted. In electric cabs, by the Democratic faction, while, a big audience waited In vain to hear them. The authoress dodges descriptions of tho primaries and conventions, and rushes on to the election. Democratic votes aro sold at J2 each, but although the returns are not given. Miss Van Den en is, of course, elected Mayor. This latter event Is described tersely on page 124. and la a tame affair. The new Mayor's speech Is better, and one sen tence reads: "Get tho people to study , the science of conduct, the development : of tho Ideal into everyday life, and our public morality will rise and spread each ; year. We have separated too much those too closely allied things religion and ethics. Wo want no ethics that won't : 6trike In and uplift humanity as high as is humanly possible. Mayor Van Densen's career starts with en exposure of graft, and she is offered 1 20.000 by the Boulevard Railway Com !pany to sign a bad ordinance. She asks jher legal adviser to "draft a bill provld- . lng that every piece of work to be done by the city shall be open to all bidders. The word "bill" would, in Portland at least, be displaced by "ordinance." 1 ho grafters' trial Is a strong bit of work, -but It Is noticed that each grafter faces meekly his term in jail. Surely t Miss Winslow knows by this time that t the average public official caught In " graft haughtily refuses to accept im prisonment in a common, evil-smelling jail, but appeals from court to court until all the witnesses die from old age. Then . the thief is set free. Miss Winslow kind ly make the new edition of your novel more up to date In this respect. A pleasant lovo story Is related of tho woman Mayor and Mr. Allingham, and one particularly breezy character is Mary &now, newspaper woman. es, A Oman for Mayor" Is a curi osity. Trie Story of Oil.

MEMORIES OF THE FLAG Books Added to the Library t i'uci c 's 5. s novel Is receiving the most favorable reviews as a pulsing, up-to-date mirror of bewildering femininity. Some assert that It Is one of the great stories of the year we shall see. The Oregonian reviewed "Tho Inner Kr.rine" some lit tle time ago, and then expressed the conviction that It was destined to go far. Here are some "Inner Shrine" thoughts: You can put fetters on a criminal, and you can quon a beaat to submission, but you can't bend tho subtle mischievous woman-spirit bent on doing harm. The ppell of woman, whether for good or Hi. is more subtle and more potent than anything in the universe but the love of ISort. With us the crime Is not in detection. It's In admlKslon. All sorts of things-may be thought of you and said of you and even known of you. and you can bluff thc-m out; but when vou have acknowledged them you're doomed. There's only one kev that unlocks the Inner shrine of all "1 love you." A woman knows nothing till she hears it. Kusy Money. By Bertram Atkey. Illus trHteii. Price, $l.a0. Dana, Estes & Co., Boston, Mass. An English tale of two tramps, Henry Mitcn and Boler Mltey, who live on other people's money. A merry, rollicking sort of story, with drinking episodes, but showing so true a knowledge of human nature that the reader Is amused and disposed to forgive the little faults it has.

Removed from commonplace fiction, and probably Mr. Bagot's strongest novel of aristocratic, idlers of England and Italy. Mr. Cuthbert's matrimonial ex periences are thrilling, and the plot is of the tragic, old-fashioned kind. It is a pity, however, that there are phrases In fhe Italian and French languages in the novel without translations. Max Pemberton. Price, C. Winston Company, The Show iirl. By Jl.nO.

For no known reason, orders were given a few months ago that iq future shells found in or around the Paris fortifications or else where were to be removed, not as for merly, by the military authorities, but by the police, and the police were given a hydraulic press for their destruction when found. The destruction of the first shell picked up cauced the destruction of the press and the death of two policemen.

Eugene, Or. Brewer on Liquor Traffic Adolphus Busch Thinks Saloon Should Be Put Under Strict Control. New York Sun. To the Editor Sir: Now that the Mis souri Legislature has adjourned without submitting to popular vote the proposed constitutional amendment Imposing state wide prohibition, and the agitation has subsided, temporarily at least, so that public opinion may be appealed to for a calm consideration of the merits of the proposed destruction of the brewing in dustries of the state, I wish to make a ! it Memorial lo Commemorate Dis covery of Lake Champlaln. NEW YORK, July 3. (Special.) This memorial, designed by Mc Lellan and Beadel, of New York, will commemorate the discovery of Ijake Champlaln by Samuel de Champlaln. The aniversary of this event will be celebrated this month with a most elaborate pro gramme, including a pageant of historic character. It is likely this memorial will be built on Split Rock Point. The lake at that point is only a half mile wide, but to the north it broad ens to its greatest width, 14 miles. If placed on this point the memorial could be seen for at least 50 miles. A light at the top will make it visible at that dis tance, even at night. McLellan and Beadel have submitted three designs for selection, of which this seems likely to be the one selected. statement of my personal views and atti tude on some matters which are intimate ly related to the subject of prohibition not only in my beloved home state, but generally in the United States. As an individual, I believe in the tern perate use of all things which, if used temperately, add to the wholesome pleas ure of life. I also believe that intern perance of any kind is bad, and that th state should exercise wisely Its power t regulate traffic in all things which hu man experience has shown to be easily subject to harmful abuse. th6ugh bene ficial when used temperately. Therefore, the state should regulate the traffic in intoxicating liquors, but, like all effort to rerulate human conduct by legislation Its effort should be so d-lsned as to cause the least impairment of individua freedom consistent with a wise degree o restraining regulation. Assuming, therefore, that the traffic In liquor should be regulated, and that bee should also be subject to regulation be caujse It contains a small proportion o alcohol, and Is sold in the same saloon where liquors are sold the question is how ought the state to regulate the traf fic so as to produce the fairest and mos effectively beneficial results? This should be by regulation, not by prohibition. It is not my purpose to dis cuss the merits of this conclusion, nor to present the reasons Which led to It. It is my conviction, baed on many years of observation In many parts of the world, and ou most minute consideration of the faults of each method as tried in various states and countries. I know that prohi bition does not prohibit, and believe that it cloea inflnitefy more harm than good, both to the Individual and the state. The same question, of regulation or pro hibition, was presented as to our Army, and decided by Congress in favor of pro hibition. The experience of the Army without a regulated canteen has demon strated the essential error of prohibiting instead of regulating. The recent appall ing occurrences ct Leavenworth furnish but another illustration of the fact that it is wrong to attempt by legislation to con trol men's habits as to matters not wrong in themselves. The abolition of the canteen has hurt the soldier and the service. The prohibi tion of all liquor to the civilian will like wise Injure the citizen and the state. Tho American people are justly opposed to the evils resulting from abuses of the liquor business, but not to the business itself when properl- conducted. The regulation must regulate. It is too late In history to contend that the traffic cannot be regulated, as severely or light ly, as the public opinion of each commu nity demands. The method of regulation through refusing or revoking the licenses of all saloons which are not properly and lawfully conducted has demonstrated that there is a method which is effective, legal and fair. Reputable saloonkeepers are law-abiding citizens. They refuse to 6ell to women, minors or men showing signs of intoxication. They would welcome regulation which would put the divekeeper out of business, because they are self respecting men who believe their business Is resiestable, hope to keep It so. and ar anxious to weed out those who abuse it. The problem of regulating the traffic is the problem of regulating and so reform- ng the saloon. No fixed ratio between he number of saloons and population will furnUh an adequate or safe rule for general application. nifferent communl- les will need varying kinds and de grees of regulation to meet peculiar ocai conditions. Jiut the criterion or all regulation should be the publia good rather than the good of th busi ness. Divorce the saloon from tho brewery and liquor supply house. It is a fact that most breweries and liquor snppply houses furnish the cap ital with wnlch to start new customers In new saloons. They are forced to do this by competition. Self-preservation in a given locality requires them, to compete in un undesirable contest which would not be necessary or pos--sible if the law afforded reasonable regulation. If all competitors were compelled to refrain from that kind of forced competition the public would still obtain its reasonable requirements of beer and liquors, the saloonkeeper would become more Independent of his source of supply, and the business of brewing would attain the Ideal condi tion of manufacturing and selling mer chandise. The system of licensing saloons, sub ject to good behavior, and of keeping them constantly under the jurisdiction of the license commissioner, forfeiting the license in any case if the estab lished regulations are violated, has proved so effective In reforming the saloon that it should be adopted gen erally, and especially in small towns and rural districts where through lack of proper regulation saloons may be- ncome offensive. I believe that brewers should help' to crimrd nnil nroteft the nublic against bad saloons by helping the license com missioner to ascertain whether a given man is worthy to receive or keep a license, and by refusing to aid or deal with any saloonkeeper or bad character or who does not strictly comply with the regulations imposed by law. In advocating this method of regula tion 1 am not unmindful of the thou sands of saloonkeepers who have been my loyal friends. it is my conviction that they will be benefited, not in jured by it. Having endeavored for many years to purify my business by refusing to sell to the proprietors of any saloons which I knew to be disreputable, I would now welcome any law which will afford a reasonable method of separating the brewery from the saloon, to the mutual benefit of both. When the saloon is divorced from the brewery the brewer will have no more political power or influence than any other manufacturer, whose only hold on his reteiler consists in the quality of his product and the reasonableness of its price. It the zealous enthusiasts who in dif ferent parts of the country are now seeking to destroy, without compensa tion, the vast brewing industries which the Federal and state governments have encouraged us to build up will abandon such high-handed and unjust confisca tion and direct their efforts toward procuring effective, fair and reasonable regulation, I believe they will find most brewers willing to co-operate with them. Of this I am sure, that effective and r-aoral)p regulation is possible, and that regulation in the manner suggest ed here would satisfactorily solve the problem in a manner which is adequate and fair at the same time. Havinsr an aoidinir faith in the ulti mate common sense of the American people. I believe that they will vote for regulation, temperance and moderation, not for prohibition, confiscation and destruction. ADOLPHL'SBL'SCH. '. New York, June 15. How Taft Wins When He Golfs Always a Sure, Never a Brilliant Player, in Matches. Washington Special to New York Sun. The truth in print about Taft at j golf will not oh the one hand cause any cup-winner to be envious or on ( the other hand make the head of the Nation ashamed of his game. This may convey the thought that President Taft Is neither a very good nor a very bad golfer. Mr. Taft began to play golf years ago, and now that he has reached the highest political station he does not permit the cares of state to job him of time to Indulge In the ancient and honorable game. His enjoyment on the links seems to be as keen as ever and he fights Just as hard to win. A good many persons have manifested a desire to know something more definite about Mr. Taft's game of golf his style of play, his temper and temperament while In action and above all his aver age medal score. To take the last first. It may be said that the President's av erage medal score is not a very low one, but that in match play he Is no: an easy man to beat. He has a way of plodding through the mldd!-j of the course, all the time, making as straight as possible for the little cup on the next green. Even at that he is not remarkable for his accuracy either in the long game or the short game, but he seldom misses a shot absolutely. A high percentage of his drives are straight, although they are usually not of great length. Mr. Taft plays his tee shots with a great deal of care, addressing- the ball intently, after plant ing his feet well apart, and swinging his club back slowly. Indicating that he Is playing for a sure, rather than a brilliant drive. Since Mr. Taft resumed play this Spring his average medal score has probably been in the neighborhood of 96. He played better golf than that last Summer and last Winter at Hot Springs, Va., and Augusta, Ga., but at that time he was playing nearly every day, while he-has- recently been playing not oftener thun once or twice a week. The President's short game is per haps not quite as good as his long game meaning by the latter of course his drives from the tee and his brassie work. He Is a little too likely to play short of the hole In his approach puts, and his strokes from the rough and from artificial hazards do not always yield adequate results. It frequently happens that his medal score Is spoiled by his failure to extricate himself read ily from "trouble" on one or two holes of the 18. Walter J. Travis, after playing villi the President last month, remarked to a group of club members at Chevy Chase that he could soon coach Mr. Taft to play an excellent game of golf. The several times champion declared that the President already had a yoorl style of play and that he had no bad irolf habits that would have to be over come. Incidentally Mr. Travis indorsed Mr. Taft's method of scoring in a four ball match. The President holds that the host ball should not necessarily win the hole in a four-ball match, but that the winning side on each hole should be determined by adding the scores of the partners on each side. Mr. Travis declared also that tills was the way a four-ball contest should he con ducted. When President Taft plays golf at Chevy Chase he usually plays in a foursome (four-ball match), and on many occasions Vice-President Sherman Is one of his golfing companions. Mr. Sherman Is not nearly as good a srolfer as Mr. Taft, and it Is perhaps do.'nit him no Injustice, to say that his average medal score for IS holes is not many strokes from 110. The President plays a pretty even-tempered game, seldom uttering a word of impatience. Not so with the Hon. James Schoolcraft. He Is all too likely to make bad matters worse with his score by becoming im patient when he misses a shot or plaj-it into a hazard. It is probable that the President could give the Vice-President one stroke In three holes and beat him rather handily at that.
