Till l Iho book calculated to
tfnretd'a threat deal ot Information
concerning nil tfo countries of the
world whoso shore nro washed by tho
PAclria ocmui. Bancroft tolls us that
more than ono-batr of Iho people who
Inhabit the Rlobo, live In tho countries
bordering on this great ocean.
IIo take h very optomlstlc view ot
the revolution In thought, manner,
custom and government ot the people
at China, Jnpnn, Korea, Manchuria
fend tho Islands ot tho Pacific. As n
kter, ho predicts that this ocean with
In a few years lwll bo covered by tho
iecrcantUo fleets ot tho world In car
rying on tho commerce that Is to
grow and becomo n power in alt ihei
countries.
Tho book contains a wonderful In
sight Into tho Individual governments
ot tho Asiatic countries. Ho shows
that China, with Its thousands ot
years ot history bis lived In exclusion,
bound down br customs nnd'tradU
tlons which have prevented Its
pcoplo from assuming tho position
Id tho affairs of the world which
iaelr great fertile kingdom would
Justify; he shews how Japan for cor
Juries past1 was ' bound by the 'same
Mine honored superstitions, cus
toms and traditions which kept It
out of Progression's oath until 1S20
when Perry secured Tor America tho
first rights ever granted to any na
tion by Japan and since then a spirit
of progrxes has been running along
ibo years with accelerating paco un
til today Japan Is looked upon as one
of the great nations of tho earth.
1 Bancroft holds that 'it would bo
a lamentablo mistake' for tho United
States to give tho Philippines their
independence. Ho says that tho
bnltcd States secured a prlzo in the
Acquisition of the Philippine archi
pelago and reasons that when tho
countries of the Pacific somo Into
their own that theso islands will be
ibe key to commerce, and no country
tan becomo great among tho nations
Of the earth unless It Is a raarltlne
power and takes part In tho general
affairs or the work!. '
' He takes up tho philosopliy of civil
isation and shows how In its west-
wa courso It has gained force and In
fluence at each successlrve step; that
iho portion ot North America border
ing upon the Pacific Is calculated
and adapted to sustain a dcno popu
lation. Tho wholo book is so full of
hope for tho future of the Paclfl?
COast and Alaska and British Colum
bia, and the Ideas arc so practical
and clear that one is quito convinced
by Mr. Bancroft that this portion of
tho country 1 destined to become tin
homo of the highest cuituro that tho
world has ever' known.
"Tho New Pacific" is filled with
useful information tnd while the
writer's stylo is graphic ho tolls the
story In a manner that makes the
boog very nttractfvo reading.
THE MAN WHO SENT UP COST
OF FEATHms FOR HATS
"Tho Woman Movement" by Ellen
Key. Pub. by Putnam.
Bllea Key takes Her courage as well
as her pen In hand when she writes a
book, but her very evident sincerity
embarrasses the criticism of the con
ventional person who finds his pet
ideas relegated to the rubbish heap
by thes Swedish writer. Ellen iTey Is
a tireless student, a fearless thinker
and a courageous writer. Her books
hare been translated into many lan
guages and bare been the means )t
stimulating' a Mlde of new Ideas
throughout the reading world. In all
Wor books, "Lovo and Marrlago," "Tho
Century ot the Child" and "Tho Wom
an Movement," bor plea1 Is for tho
dovelopomcnt of tho individual. Sho
feols that many castoms and conven
tions at tbe present tlrao are hinder
ing tho growth of the race and es
pecially tho growth of women.
"Tho Woman Movement" Is an In
tensely Interesting study ot tho In
fluenco of Woman's emancipation on
the world. 'Sho says that the first
woman movement was Kto'h gesturo

"The Financier" by Theodore Dreis
er. Pub. by Harpers.
Dreiser has already given to the
world two unusual books "Jennie
Oerhart"' and Sister Carrlo" and
whllo theso books were not told in h
very fascinating manner, yet tho
Ideas set forth In each excited much
comment and Interest. This new
book, "The Financier," deals almost
entirely with the life history of a
man and It Is so Intensely Interesting,
complete and satisfactory, that In
comparing It with tho other books by
Dreiser one feels that the author has
a much bettor understanding of men
than of women and that slnco hi
last two books ho has greatly Im
proved his stylo ot presenting a
storyi
Frank Cowperwood was a natural
born financier. His success in the
moncy-mnklng wrld began at an
early ago and beforo ho was 35 ho
had amassed a fortune; but an un
lucky venture, both in politics and In
lovo was tho causo of his downfall.
Frank became an agent for a politic
al gang who manipulated the city
funds for private speculations. Tho
famous Chicago flro brought about
an unexpected financial depression
and an Investigation followed. One
man, Malla Duller, could have saved
Frank from dlsbraco and falluro at
this- time, but Frank who had mar
ried at 21, a woman older than him
self, had tired of his wlfo and turned
to an Illicit lovo'affalr with Dutlor'J
daughter, Alteon. When the old
Irishman discovered Frank's atten
tions to his beloved daughter, he
went deliberately to work and hast
ened tho dlrgraco of tho finnncler.
Frank was sent to prison, was par
doned within a year and with his old
Skill soon reconstructed his fortune.
His wife divorced him and turning
his face from the temptation ot the
stock exchango ho went west taking
Ailecn with him.
The romanco of finance Is strongor
and more interesting In this book
than tho love episodes. Frank Cow
perwood, the man with tho charming
personality, tho tireless energy, the
quick mind, had as a chief character
istic an absorbing passion for mak
ing money; his love ot home, his
lore for his wife and children, his
affection for his fathor and evon Ills
passion for the captivating mistress
wero all shadowed by this supremo
desiro.
Feminine readers of this book will
especially be grateful to the author
for making so clear and Interesting
tho inside workings and systom of
the stock exchange. Mobt novelist
will toll haw their hero makes a
miraculous fortune in Wall Streot,
employing the terms that only an
hablt'uo of tho place could compre
hend, but In "Tbo Financier" tho
story of city graft and of how a for
tuno Is made and lost by speculation
Is told with every detail In a most
Interesting and Instructive way.
