Harold Bauer, Interest In Harold Bauer's coming la pronounced, and there is reason to be lieve that tha pianiat will receive the heartiest of welcomes. The artist's popularity In thla country la atteated to by the fact that he has made three highly successful American tours, and his present visit, under the direction of Loudon O. Charlton, promises to eclipse his previous records. In England Bauer la held in the high est regard. "He ta a pianiat," writes a critic in the Saturday Review, "whom Xollow with considerable.

Taking for Ita text, as it were, tnai little gem of wall wnumans: v America, Because You.Bulld for Man kind." It makes the flrat line of It the keynote, "Others take finish, but the republic Is ever constructive and aver keeps vista." ., .' ' ' ; uvhit. Mr. HmTtha'a book- doea - not catalogue evUa, aa we have eeld.it does not avoid or shrinx rrom piam ment or ungloved handling of condi tions dannra and remedies. It la on an entirely different Una from-reform work or- exposure of monopolies and political corruption. It takes conditions as they exist and argues them trot in a vigorous and Judicial manner, giving many things a new and original color ing, but always keeping in view the fact that republics are constructive. - Ia his Introduction the author truthfully and happily says: "Constructive democ racy la the genius of tha people engaged In building their Institutions. This creative spirit finds expression at vari ous times through - every- school of thought.-from the most conservative to the most- radical. ; Ita achievement Is the net result of agitation, discussion and popular action cryatalllsed Into law. It Is the common senae ot tea people registered in the event. "While neither of the historic parties of tha United States Is In -any peculiar sense the custodian of principles, it is nevertheless true-, that In a republic political results -can only be achieved by means of party organisation. But no party owns .the. public conriaenca, ana no party can safely presume upon a long lease of power because it haa won a sweeping victory at the pons." in sup port of thla the author oitea the case of Chicago giving Roosevelt a majority of 110.000, and less than five months after electing a Democratic mayor by a majority of 24,000. aaylng: "To the Chicago-mind Theodora Roosevelt rep resented . the spirit of constructive progress of national questions while la the burning Issue of 'municipal owner ship Edward F. Dunne represented the pint af constructive progress. Ameri cana are preeminently racebulldera. And they build up. not down. They prefer man wna can, lean me - procession. rather than one that can alt on the fence and scold aa the proceaalon goea by. - - It la impossible to put too much am- phaals an tha fact that their temper Is constructive rather than deetructlve. Tha party of tha future Is that party of whatever name which. In deallag with the vital lasuee of the time, ahall propose measures most in harmony with this predominant trait In the national character. . . .- Out of this Instinct will be bred men with strength for the hour. . Their problem will be to reduce to terms of practical legislation a phrase. tangible and nebuloua, yet charged with meaning and appealing ta the popular heart like the flrat hint of molature to the loot traveler In tha desert, A square deal for every man." Thus, in the atart. tha author outlines his Ideaa and works them out under sefen general heads, via: Tha Face of the Times; The Taming of Monopoly The Surplus 'Man:, the t'nflnlshed Re public; Institutions for Surplus Men, and the summing up. To illustrate and demonstrate, he uses national and mu nicipal questions, with the . actors In their play, but alwaya without bitter neaa or malice, and treats them so Im personally that one almost feels be la but using them as tha "algebraic for. mulaa to work out a problem. - ' In some oz Mr. Btnythe'e deductions however, he lays hlmaelf open ta crlt- Iclam and dispute, and he will undoubt edly get It when hla book begins to be resd as much aa It Inevitably must be, for a. book aa pregnant with thought, upon the vital questions of tha day. will not long lie fallow of readers and re- anna, una t or the points which will call forth more opposition, perhaps, than any. other la the chapter on "A Case of National Infidelity." where the wrer uses xns ground that with tb I BOOKS I Piano Virtuoso. with quite aa much Interest, at leaat aa I follow Paderewskl, He la highly Interesting: he - glvea one new aenaa tions; he presents an interminable series of fresh views of familiar a trains. As a Chopin player, he cornea easily first among all pianists now before the pub lic. - He does not sentimentalise, aa Pachmann does; he does not give us a merely dreamy Chopin, aa Paderewskl does: he gives us a genuine, manly Cho pin. Indubitably the real Chepln Bauer will be heard here weanesaay, October 11, under direction of - Lois Steers and Wynn Coman. . uncared-for, unprovided-tor and suffer ing thouaanda in the United States it waa a betrayal of public trust to assume the responalblllty of our island colonies. In defense of his position he , quotes Paul, when he said: ''But If any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his -own -house, he hath denied -the faith and la worse than an infidel," and saya: "In the light of thla text," Im perialism la utterly Indefensible." Of course, scores of Scripture texts can be quoted te controvert this, and It la a dangerous" thing for a writer to -try ta prove a theory by any one paseage'in the Bible; and when he says, "But the neglect of our own people la not ade quately axpressed in stating; what haa been done for 'Others who hate less claim upon the nation; apeaklng broad ly, we Blight the" republic for the" em pire," It sounds strangely Ilka the ut terances of Grlswold, Plumer, Griffin and even Madison, when the Louisiana purchase waa about to be ratified. - - - Mr. Smythe'e book has a strong leaning- throughout toward aocln-llam. but It Is a aociallsm with reservations and boundary-lines and not tha gospel ot the atreet-corner or , "cracker-box; orator. ' . . - The closing chapter asks tha pertin ent question: "Shall religion have a function?" and answers It by a few sig nificant questions: "Do we behold gray tints on the eastern horlson? What is ths meaning of the coincidence of re ligious revival throughout tha world with the widest social and political un rest T What Inference shall wa draw from tha protest of an influential mi nority of tha Congregational- church agalnnt the acceptance . ot money ob tained by the exploitation of humanity? "How wide la tha gulf which yawns between Cotton Mather and Washington Gladden, between the old conception oi religion aa a solace for outraged human ity, and tha new conception of religion aa the only successful agent in the regeneration of Induatry and eoclety."

Mlas Aicott never wrote a truer girl than Miss Gardiner has created la Margie Carl In, and In the whole list of children. In fiction. It Is doubtful If th true Inward life of any or them has aver been ao faithfully de- piciea. Margie Cylln begins her career aa a heroine, when at years old she mounts the gatepost on a crlap September morning and watchea all tha other chll dren march off to school, among them George Budd, who had alwaya, hereto fore, come out to play with a long day before thenw-Aa har little foot.awlnga round and round she goes over all their little games, but when he goes by. proud and defiant, in the knowledge that he haa attained school age, the little foot stops rocking, and getting down aba aeeka her mother, for "she waa left alone In a childless world." - - The'' next year she, too, marches proudly off and the book Is the story of the yeare from - that time until. In a dlatant atate, aha carrlea off the honora In the graduating class from the high school. Tha charm of tha story Is that Margie waa net an unusual girl In any way, but quite the contrary. . She was clever, nngni ana intelligent, with no spealal endowment and a code of honor entirely her awn. It waa just tha exact Idea of honor that thousands of children possess, which If tampered with, or exaggerated Into wickedness by the Uldera, either dwarfs the flowers that grow between- the tares, or results in making eneaks and cowards af the chll dren. Mrs. Carlln might be called the moral ot th book, for she waa the judl- cloua mother, who studied. motives, saw tha bright aide and waa the haven In time of trouble for the gtrL She never naggad or saw evil and realised that the troubles of the child were quite as real as her 'own, which ahe never paraded for tha benefit of her family. The Heart of a Girl" was Juat Margie reared' under , thla influence, though theee were far from tha trlala of the girl, who was never submlaalve and whose determination at any ana every time waa to "get even." During the rears of Margie s school life her father. nrho waa a newspaper man, made sev eral moves, flrsttto Dakota, where finan cial misfortune overtook him, and again to Nebraska, where times improved. In tha e-lrl and bov friend ahe made at theee different places tha author - has shown herself an adept In the story ot child natura, for every character la it- nraoooLts iii Town council A, Si3I6hnsv BodyHasa Water Problem to Wrestle With ' Tomorrow Night.

Jim Bell relates all these towa doings, with their rare bits of gossip, and the private and publle af fairs of ths eltlsens to her stepdaughter-in-law, Mrs. Jtmmle Bell, who lives on a farm near by. Mr. Conrad haa drawn accurate and faithful characters, and Mrs. Jim and Mrs. ilmmie assume to toe reader the relations of old friends and acquaintances; Ths distinguishing characterletlo of tha book Is its optl mistio view of life and people and the exemplification of the worda "there- Is so much good In the worst ot us." One of the characters of Mrs. Jim's conversations. Mark Williams, is aura to take hla place among the unforgetable characters . of fiction.
