token may we judge national or munic

the Inner life and aecret emotions of a
woman of vigorous vitality that have
ever been preaented In a work of fic
tion," We are inclined to agree with
the laat crltlo much more heartily than
witn tne zirat, wnora we agree witn, not
at all, for w believe if woman appeared
to the divine eyee In the form and char
acter of Lydla aha never would have
been created, and if created would aooa
have been eradicated a utterly unfit to
propagate the species, or te the mother
or men. ' But w ao second wnat tne
Boston crltlo says regard Ina its darins
and graphic revelation. It Is a book of
tremendous strength, and courageous
handling, and is realistic to the core.
The author la an adeot in the delinea
tion of character, but thoae ' she has
put into her atory are, for the moat
part, not tne oest or tne nooieat types,
nor do we believe they are tvolcal oi
any large proportion ' of the human
family. . . ,
Lydla, around whom the entire story
clusters, la Introduced to the reader as
the ma Id -of -all-work on the Anderson
farm. In England, and was just II when
the reader meeta her going home with
the young Andereon children. As aha
enters the house the farmer introduces
her to an extraordinarily handaome
young man, Bernard Chewynd, who has
come to study practical farming on the
Anderson farm, it la love at rirst signt
with him, and she la Inspired with a
great cession to Doaseas t h la e Irons,
athletic young; man and after a few
clandeatlne meetings they slip away to
a neighboring village and are married.
A ahort time after Bernard haa an offer
to go to America, Which he accept.
but la compelled to leave Lydla behind.
A year after she and her baby girl join
htm on his Colorado ranch, and six
years of work, worry and happiness fol
low; then comes a party of English
tourists, among whom Is Eustace Pel
ham, whom Lydla had caught a glimpse
of six years before while ahe waa wait
ing at the dock to take the ateamer for
America. Up to thla time her feeling
for Bernard had been one tumultous
paaalon, but the caaual gltmpae of a
stranger, the one steady gleam of his
eve. on tha dock that night had re
vealed the world to Lydla. She knew
ahe waa beautiful, ahe believed aplr
Itual. and ahe there conceived the
thought that ahe had made a blunder
In life to yield herself so readily to
Bernard. When again ahe looked Into
the eyea of Pelham, In her Colorado
home, the unrest that had been growing
upon her broke Into passion for thla
man and at the end of a few daya aha
left home, huaband and child to follow
the lead of this rich and titled roue, as
his mistress. Bernard drops out of the
atory, except to write her one ahort let
ter saying the child waa dead and he
had gotten a divorce, that ahe might be
free to marry Pelham.
The romance of the story if one
might call It that waa the dying out,
and rekindling, of the, questionable love
between Lydla and Pelham.

C. T. Hurd.lhe popular secretary of

are millions awakening to the conviction
of Industrial democracy." And again
the author says:
Democracy is like a majestic orean
from which a splendid symphony is
awaited. It haa been attuned to the
Ideals of builders, who dreamt of the
concord of harmony, that It would , pro
duce. But the organist knowa little
and cares less for the dream of the
makers. It is he and not the oraan that
makes melody. And he has degraded the
instrument to tne proauction or aance
hall musla."
In comparing the .two nations the
writer says: "In Great Britain, as in
America, conditions are the same. Hu
man welfare Is subordinate to property.
Those who suffer from the abuses of
privilege are denied the power to correct
them. Despite the unquestionable hon
esty and efficiency, the British Tity re
mains the ward of its feudal master,
parliament." This, however. Is said
after the author states: "The British
city Is free from corruption. Its organ
ization la simple, direct, democratic.
The members of the town council are re
sponsible, and responsive to public opin
ion. The suffrage la limited to the tax
paying class. There Is no boss, no
machine, no spoils system. Great Bri
tain has achieved what we In America
have long prayed for. Her local politics
are in the hands of her business men."
The author explains this apparent con
tradiction by stating that "the life of
the people, their standard of existence,
the condition of their homes, their
health, education and happiness is a
matter of something more than honesty
and efficiency." He then goes on to
explain the peculiar and ancient hold
parliament has upon the municipality,
making the condition of the masses in
finitely worse than they are In America.
The author gives some appalling figures
reaardlna British Industrial conditions.

250.000 skilled: worKmen were out or
employment, and including unskilled la

There are the picture cards In the win

color and charm. Each card la a ca

trouble change our card, but then (t la
the same thing again; we change one
for the other, and what Is the good of
that!"
And so the author carries ner simile
throuah the book, and concludes:
"So does the human being. In hi
youth, desire the whole, yet having
hand only the price of one small part,
stare, covet and hesitate before that
dear, delusive, cheating, distracting
window, with the pickpocket. Time,

"How will these conditions be tnett"
asks Dr. Howe. "Does It accord with
the ideals on the power of democracy
that millions of workers should be the
merest wards of a handful of men wl
own the land upon which the life of the
people depend? For this is the condi
tion of Great Britain. The old feudal
aristocracy remains the economic , as
well as the political master of the
British people. Forty millions of land
less; tenants have no alternative but
that which the gentry has to offer
them. Thla Is the problem which tho
British city has to face. For the city.
with its Increasing poverty and vice, is
one or tne direct results or tnis con
dition." From these premises, set forth In
the preface and Introduction, the author
takes up In the subsequent chapters of
the book his roost Interesting and Illum
inating study of this British city. He
gives some startling statistics, which
point with unmistakable force as a
warrflng to younger nations. Of British
cities the author does not take a hope
ful view while parliament has its heel
upon their necks and he unhesitatingly
speaks of the decadence of the English
people, though he has not written with
prejudice ana in the most impartial way
calls the attention of his readers, over
and over again, to the superiority of
English muntolpal government and mu-
lnlctpal conditions to those of America.
Tne entire dook seems to De a rair. just
and scholarly resume Of conditions ts
they exist, with clear and logical con
clusions. In concluding the author
sounds a tinging note of hope when he
says, "The city is being Inspired by a
new morality. It lies latent In every
community, and only needs a leader o
call It into life. It Is the morality of
social justice, which Is the mission of
Industrial democracy to the modern
world. It Is this that makes the city
of tomorrow the hone of civilization.
Just as the city of today Is its despair."
ur. Howe nas aeoicatea nis hook to
Tom L. Johnson, who found In the
philosophy of equal opportunity for all
and special privileges for none the 4n
spi ration of his political life; who
halted In. the conquest of material
things to take up the burden of the
warfare against monopoly: whose cure
for the failures of democracy la more

Some people say that generally speaking the
"little woman" has the best of it in this world, but'
when it comes to buying tailored suits and skirts all
ready to wear, she usually complains that she cannot
be fitted.
Such is not the complaint of our customers.
With the "little woman's" needs strongly in mind,
we have brought to Portland from the best tailoring
centers of the east, a beautiful selection of suits, also
separate skirts, in the most smartly finished effects,
modeled on the lines of the "little woman." She can
be as perfectly fitted as the woman of average pro
portions, in costumes representing all of fashion's
decrees for fall and winter wear.
Complete Suits from $15 to $20
Separate Skirts $3.75 to $18
Every desirable provision for the "little woman"
has its counterpart in our section of EXTRA LARGE
SIZES, for women above the average. The woman
who insists "she can never be fitted" will find that
these especially well tailored gowns follow the lines
of her figure as though cut from her own measure

An to Freight Service to Ron Be
tween the Congo and the Nile.
In the Congo Free State, under, the
direction of a central automobile de
partment, more than a year's work has
been done in the construction of special
highways and the establishment of the
forerunners of a network of automobile
freight lines.
The road on which work Is being
most rapidly pushed, and on the com
pleted portion of which freight Is now
being transported, will be, the longest
and most Important of these en ter pi sea,
It will connect the Congo with the Nile
at Rejaf, only a short distance south
of Oondokoro, which is now reached
regularly by passenger and freight
siearasrs rrom JMiartOUm.
When the freight yard Is comnleted.
in about two years, says the Motor
world, tne upper Congo will have auto
mobile, steamboat and rail connections
with the Mediterranean, as well as
steam transportation to the mouth of
the Congo and Europe.
The starting point Is about 100 miles
up tne congo aoove staniev root. There
are some long stretches of navigation
where the loaded automobile will be
carried on smalt steamers, but fh total
length of the freight road will be 600
mnes. - . . .
The attitude of the natives along the
Welle Maku toward the advancing- en
terprise is highly gratifying to the au
thorities. They give a hearty welcome
to the whites. ; The chiefs have com-
filalned that the carrier service between
he Belgian posts takes too many men
from, their - usual pursuit and the
whole region. is hapy over the fact;
that the freight load will entirely do
away with the caravans of porters car- :
rylng loads on their backs for hundreds
of miles. . ,
Mansall, the most Important chief of
this section, on his own initiative says -that
if they pay bis subjects the usual .
prie for work by the day the whites ;
need not bother themselves with the
question of labor supply. He will pro-
viae tne men ana taae cnem rrom tn
villages near where the road Is being
built. ' -.'.. . V
The entire road will be first class for
tha heavy hauling Intended and perfect
drainage is being provided at every
point. For some years the government
has been experimenting with two or
three types of automobile freight car',

A well known English machine was
finally rejected, chiefly on account oe ;
Its excessive weight, . and a Belgian , ,
wagon, especially built for tropical ser
vice, has been adopted, and It la said 5
to be satisfactory, in all respects. The
only change In It which the report rec
ommends Is that certain Conga Instead
of European wooda be used la the con
st ruction of the machines now building
for the service. vv.
As-fast -as the road Is completed the
wagons are hauling material and sup
plies to the roadbed, giving - the ma
chines and roadbed a thorough test The
loaded wagon travel at the rate of 1
or tt miles an hour, and it Is ipot t
that this will be-th average speed b.
