...which the white race, com posed of some 520,000,000 out of a total population of about 1,700,000,000, controls eight-ninths of the habitable earth. He suggested that there were four possible solutions of the color problem: 1) amalgamation by miscegenation; 2) coresidence without fu sion; 3) 'disfranchisement of the col ored population; 4) segregation into separate communities. He inclined to the belief that the last will be the solution, and foresaw that in 100 years or so, by natural processes, a sort of free state of Negroes would develop in the Southern...
Bethlehem Steel may be said to be paying the price of over-rapid expan- sion. After absorbing the Midvale, Cambria and Lackawanna properties, it found that large sums were required to modernize and coordinate them. Meanwhile the steel business has been undergoing a very severe slump during the last few months. U. S. Steel came an even worse crop- per in 1903-4, just after its organization.

It has the makings of a good story, but it is rather rough in workmanship and not always of crystal clearness. The bit of verse following, "From a Warm Room," one is uncertain whether to take seriously or humorously. After this...
...Watson's study of Bandelaire under the title "The Greatest Decadent," together with the story "Poet of the Ghetto" by a Ben Sion Trynin--an obvious and awful pseudonym--remain the only things really worth while in the number. The first is, if not profound, at least refreshingly sane and balanced in these days when to be young is necessarily to be decadent--or one would imagine so from recent Monthlies. The second, apart from a shabby and sentimental plot, possesses, in dialogue and description, a sense of actuality of life on the East Side of New York that...
