...Welsh spoke earnestly of the great need of the Indians for education; for clear titles to land and the privileges of holding land in severalty; above all, for law. The civil service rules should be applied to the choice of land agents and of all Indian officials. The spoils system is the cause of much of the present distress among the Indians, and should be abolished. The speaker closed with an earnest appeal to his hearers to give their personal attention and aid to these oppressed peoples...

Mr. Sanford in some very striking verse, pictures "The Lilberhom." The second and third stanzas are firm and very noticeable for their rythm and delicacy of touch. If Mr. Berenson would confine himself to prose, and always write as admirably as in "The Third Category," his work would be appreciated, we assure him. There is here a touch of introspection which is very charming, and the closing bit of brutality is unquestionably...
