Heaven defend a daughter of mine should be either dnztled by a tinselled rank or claaa pretension, or fall to appreciata simple, genuine per sonal excellence." : But when these sen tlments were reechoed in tha acta of this favorite (laughter and the recession of type occurred: tha tragedy of self ondmnatlon ws terrific " . President Phllllpa was a grand good man; a politician to be aura, and went into office largely on the enthusiasm created among tha pntrlotlo masses by his military hat, but hi devotion to hia family, particularly to tha unfortunate Helen was beautiful and typified tha close and peculiar love that, except In rare casesv exists between father and daughter, s The force of the book la Con oentrated on tha attitude- of thev piibllo toward tha action of President Phllllpa 'In entertaining negro .guests." To bring this to its perfect strength the author has cleverly brought into the senate of the United States bill which hinges largely upon tha social recognition of the negro. This brings out both stdea of tha question, but no better presenta tion of tha race question haa ever bean . given, either in treatise on the subject or in fiction, than Mr. Durham haa pre-, sented through tha speech of Senator Itutledga of South Carolina. - It la clear, Just and lilumlnatlna-: it meets tha Is sue squarely and without evasion, ana lyses everv nhase of It. On- th nolnt of educating the negro, fpon wntoh so many differ,- Senator Rutledga aaya. In part: "As a result of my personal ob- servstlbn as anian brought up In tha south, my sincere opinion that aduca- tion of tha negro In the usual literary siuaies from tha kindergarten- to tha college as well as alona Industrial lines. is -as a rule beneficial and uplifting to him. e, Let m, Jest j be misunderstood, that while I believe the, negro race will be hewers of wood and drawera of water for generations to come and that education wilt be bene, flclal to them as a tolling class, I am not of those who believe that wheri by education -vou spoil at negro field hand you have committed a crime. 1 have no sympathy with the sentiment that would confine any man to a limited though respectable and honorable work when he has within him the aspiration and the ability to serve bis race and hia time In broader fields." " The senator then goes on describing with minute nicety tha difference be tween elevating the negro through edu cation, politics and society. In regard to tha seoond point he says: "When I speak of the president' negro policy I do not mean to Include his appoint ments of negroes to offloa. I think we of the south have In these matters to -some tent confuted -tna lssuea- and. proportionately weakened our - position before the outside nubile, not that.T an- yruvo ui sppomuns nesrrnes 10 oirice in the south, for I do not. I think tha weight of alt consideration Is agalhst it. But the considerations etther for or against It are considerations of ex pediency, They sre not vltnl. If the president wishes to vindicate his ap pointments on the ground that his ap . potatoes are of his party, the best men of his party and fafrfy efficient let him. -Such reasona have been given for political appointments time out of mind, although they are not conclusive In any ease, and especially not In the matter nf negro office-holding In the south. But let him not go Into cheap- heroics, such as were Indulged in by a recent negro appointee, who tragically -exclaimed that If hia appointment was not confirmed hia raoa would be set back JO years. It Is not closing any legitimate door of hope to nsrro or White man to refuse him a presidential : appointment. ine aoor or nope, what. evef else it may be to white or Mack, Is not the door tn nvarnmit fl Jhtn comes the Impassioned appeal against aocial equality, which ( menne amalgamation of the races.

In hlahlv diverting fashion Mr. Mur ray recounts the strifes of recent years between Hill and Harrlman, and among Harrlman and his ssseclates, not only that with Stuyvesomt Fish.
