will appeal to bo largo a class of read
ers as this book. It Is a neatly printed,
substantially bound volume of 400
pages and includes tho notes of his
travels in Europe and America, his
two famous lectures, "Valuo of an
Ideal" and "A Conquering Nation,"
and many of his more important politi
cal addresses.
Deprecate as they may tho political
tendencies of the times, it is yet cause
for congratulation on tho part of the
American people that the two greatest
leaders in political thought, the two
men who stand at tho head of the two
great political parties, are men of such
high personal worth, such lofty ideals,
such pronounced moral character as
Theodore Roosevelt and William J.
Bryan.
Independent of personal political
conviction or partisan bias, every earn
est citizen of tho republic must And in
this cause for personal rejoicing and
congratulation. In conversation, not
long since, Mr. Bryan remarked that
among his lectures the one most popu
lar with the American people was "The
Value of an Ideal." And all who have
beard or read this lecture will recall
that throughout it appeals to tho high
est and. most worthy motives. On the
other hand, an essay on "Character"
i3 recalled from the pen of Mr. Roose
velt in which the president insists that
negative virtues or virtues of absten
tion are not sufficient to a full rounded
manly character. These are but a
requisite half and must bo supple
mented by the positive affirmative
qualities. It is not sufficient that men
abstain from the bad, they must do the
good.
These matters are cited in this con
nection for the purpose of emphasizing
the fact that as long as the American
people in the selection of their leaders
choose men of such high personal char
acter there is no need to despair of
the ultimate success of this republic.
While, as Mr. Bryan says, the Amer
ican people may prefer "Tho Value of
an Ideal" to any of his other lectures,
yet it Is not always true that popularity
i3 evidence of permanent worth. In
deed, it may be doubted if Mr. Bryan
has ever made any contribution to the
thought of the time which, judged by
all standards of excellence, can stand
a comparison with the lecture entitled
"A Conquering Nation.' This lec
ture, from every standpoint, whether
of literary, moral or oratorical excel
lence, worthy political, social and in
dividual ideals, or loft.7 patriotism, Is
a masterly production.
Mr. Bryan has published largor and
moro pretentious 'books than "Under
Other Flags," but it may well bo
doubted if any of theso have deserved
or rocoived so wido a reading as wlU
this. Save for tuo address on "Imper
ialism" and of tho opeoch at tho St
Louis democratic convention in 1904
tho book is entirely free from discus
sion of partisan politics. It might, per
haps, for some reasons have been bet
ter had these been omitted altogether,
but the remaining chapters aro broad
enough in their discussion of tho prin
ciples which underlie the republic to
disarm criticism that might ariso by
reason of theso two addresses.
Tho notes of European travel are not
lacking in interest for all readers,
whether young or old. Op tho whole
tho work is a valuable contribution to
tho thought of the period and should
bo read by men in overy walk in life.

His Second Think
Prof. Yamaslilta, who Is negotiating
with Secretary Morton for a place as
instructor of jiu jilsu at Annapolis, is
a mild eyed little man who apparently
knows tho jiu jitsu game backward,
says tho New York World. He was
at tho whlto house a few days ago talk
ing to the president, who has had a
few lessons in the art of how to break
tho neck of your opponent without ruf
fling your hair or soiling your collar.
Secretary Morton was there, too. Mor
ton Is moro than G feet tall, with
shoulders a yard across. Prof. Yama
shita picked Morton as a lay figure for
some experiments. He toyed with the
big secretary as if he had been a child.
Senator Lodge was there. He saw
with amazement the way the little
Japanese flung Morton around tho
room. After the exhibition was over
ho went to Morton and said: "Do you
know, Morton, I was thinking of com
ing to your assistance."
"Indeed!" Morton replied, as he ad
justed his disarranged clothing. "But as
you aro a conservative New England
statesman it is evident you took an
other think
The Boy and the Farm.
"Life on the farm is not drudgery
unless it is mado so. Any life must
become one of drudgery unless care,
skill and common sense 13 employed in
the labor of living, and drudgery is
that labor which is obnoxious to the
individual; hence, to the lazy man all
work is drudgery. The thought and
interest we put into our work is what
gives it dignity; all labor of whatso
ever kind is dignified and honorable if
honestly performed, and none more so
than that performed on the farm.
The boy on the farm must be given
an interest in the details of his pro
fession; make him thoroughly ac
quainted with the detail of dally life,
develop his executive ability; givefaim
responsibility; if his ideas are crude,
show him the right way by suggesting
something better. In the selling of
products, let him participate; the
weight of products and their selling
nrice should be as Interesting to him
as to yourself. Let him know the
weight and selling price, and let him
figure it out for himself. Let him visit
the markets with you, or inspect stock
or implements, if to be bought, and en
courage him to become practically con
versant with the business end, as wel
aa with the daily labor of the matter.
Broaden him out, strengthen his abil
ity and get him interested in the dig
nity, honor jmd intellectual aspect of
the case. Let him have all the book
learning you can afford for him, and
do not continually harp to him of tho
poverty which renders it impossible
for you to make of him or yourself
anything but a mere machine, forced
to grind for mere board and lodging,
with no time, nor money with, which, to
seek recreation." Selected,
