OSTRACIZES THE ONE WOMAN May Be Good Eneugh for Bome, but Oanato Btay in Omaba Library, WITHDRAWN AND SEVERELY ARRAIGNED Miss Tobitt P as Wel "t Book and Onlls Faet: of Im- morality. “The One Woman; a Story of Modern Utopta,” has been withdrawn from circu- lation In the Omaha Public library. This bappened Tuesday after the book had been mocessible to patrons for six weeks, or from the time published Miss Edith Tobitt, Iibrarian, novel is ‘coarse, gross, crude tendency towards the immoral. Despite these flaws it has been the most popular volume of flction in the lberary this year. More calls have been recefved for it than for any other book. It has been read with avidity by all classes. No protests have been registered officlally and Miss Tobitt says, frankly, that she has cast out the book because she does not belleve it is worthy of a place on the shelves from the standpoint of literature. esthetics or ethios. . Briefly and bluntly she has no use for “The One Woman,” which was written by Thomas Dixon jr., suthor of “The Leopard's Spots.” “Had I read the book before it was pur- chased it never would have been in circu- Iation in this library. The novel seems to me o crude and melodramatic that T can find no reason why it should be considered even commonplace lterature. It seems to teach no lesson, although the effort to moralize is evident—at any rate it falls to fmpress in this regard. Parts that are pro- fessedly Intensely serious are funny. The pardon incident and the myriad difficulties that surround it have the ring of the genuine ‘ten-twenty-and/thirty-cent' pro- ductions. “Judging from ‘The Leopard's Spots’ T anticipated the author's ‘last novel would be superior, but it is not. It is utterly im- possible to read every ook before it is admitted to the library, bue I am sorry T did not have an opportunity to read this one first. There have heen more calls for it than any other novel of the year." Not Fit for Edith. Unofficlally criticisms have been blown about concerning the asserted unfitness of the “One Woman" for the mind of the young and tender. Ohe mamma is quoted as saying that she sat up very late read- ing the novel “with great interest,”” but she would not like to have Edith read it. Edith never got the opportunity, as the book was disposed of the next day and the household knew it no more. Says Miss Tobitt: “I should call it a earicuture of a novel. The author tries to preach and he makes you laugh. On the whole I think ‘The Qne Woman' is coarse, in fact about the coarsest thing I remem- Dber reading. In my opinfon the book does not make immorality especially detestable, and yet it deals with grossly immoral sub- gects. Whatever is bad in the book eth- fcally is not relleved by literary excellence, There is no fine or delicate constructfon to sweeten the bad taste. The basic theme of “The One Woi 18 the so-called “Christian soclalism’ ud fts ultimate and difastrous effects. Love of the most impassioned and unrestrained wariety makes the novel of interest to everyone who reads. It might have been fnspired by some incidents in the lite of Prof. Herron, the lowa educator who found Justification in his philosophy to desert his wite and family for another woman. In reviewing the book The Bee said: “But Gordon could not be convinced. If ever man was made to drink deeply of the waters of sorrow, shame and degradation that man was Gordon. His faithful wife was true to him to the end and before the close of the story they are reunited. The book is a splendid and forceful defense of the sacredness of the marriage ties." says the nd with a 8top scolding the operator and talk with your lips close to the mouthplece of your transmitter and your telephone service will ‘be much improved: An Attractive Loea Eftension Oh ern Raflway.

There has never been much doubt about the terms of the treaty with Russia, but after Alaska and the North- west Territory began to attract attention Candda and the United States have been a trifle Irritable along the coakt from Van- couver to Mount St. Kilas. When the Kiondike gold flelds were discovered the prospect of friction was promptly discov- ered. With characteristic good sense AMERICANS AND CANADIANS agreed upon a tentatiye line and each government has recognized that line as the international boundary, For miore than two years we have gone about our business and patiently awaited the conclusion of the matter. Our patience is rewarded by a complete victory and the victory is ours because the British representative on the commission was broad enough to do justice evei at the risk of offending a British colony. THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE, congratulates Americans upon the result of thls arbitration. It regrets the disappoint- ment of the friendly folk to the north, but both ‘sides In a hot contest cannot win. In every contest waged by this aggressive young home company for Western Life Companles as against the Life Insurance Trust, the Bankers Reserve Life has found Amerlcans favorable to. fair dealing. Jus- tice appeals to the noble impulses of Amerl- cansqand when D. H. ROBISON, PRSIDENT, sends his efficlent campalgners out to pro- claim the glorfous gospel of home industry in Life Insurance as in business generally against alien combines, he directs the rep- resentatives of the Bankers Reserve Life to deal falrly and honestly with competitora and all others. No othér policy pays. Eng- land, through Leord Alverstone, recognizes the principle and Canada will sooner or later bow gracetully to the inevitable. ————————————— DOCTORS HOPE FOR RECOVERY Phys Attending Stanley Rose- water Hold Ont . ises to Porents, Letters from Cl!y Engineer Rosewater, who s at Ann Arbor, Mich,, at the bedside of his son, Stanley, who Is seriously ill with typhold fever, indicate that the doc- tors are hopeful.of the young man's re- covery.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1903, UNEXCELLED COMMERCIAL SERVICE NOW ESTABLISHED IN OMAHA The character of the service of a broker- age house 1s the first consideration to any one Interested in grain or stock speculation. Assuming that a broker is honest, which he must be to remain in bysiness year after year, ‘the other essentfals to the success of his customers are summed up in the word “wervice.” What is meant by service can hardly be described In a briet statement. It means promptness in the filling of orders, aceu- racy and rellability in the market quota- tions and fair dealing upon business lines. These are the qualities that have built up the business of the Coe Commission C ‘which has recently extended Its inter- national wire service to Omaha, Sioux City and Intermediate points. The same quall- tles have been the basis of upbuilding of this concern years ago until it now ex- tends from New. York to the Pacific coast and from Winnipeg and Montreal to Mason and Dixon's Itne. It will readfly be under- stood that an extensive wire system cover- ing the country as does that of the Coe Commission Co. glves facilitiea not equaled by any other grain and stock brokerage house in America. A list of the citles in which the Coe Commission Co. and its recognized corre- spondents are now operating embraces every principal city and town in the north- western states and as far north as Winni- peg and Brandon, Manitoba. This covers the wheat country of North and Bouth Dakotas and Minnesota, the wheat centers of Minneapolls and Duluth, the mining country of Montana and the Lakes and the wheat areas of Washington and Oregon. It also extends through Chicago to Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo to New York and into Canada, connecting Toronto, Montreal and intermediate points. Over 176 national and state banks are the depositories of this glant brokerage system, which has offices in over 150 cities and towns In the territory stated. "The liberal poiloy which has been adopted by the Coe Commission Co. from the be- ginning has had much to do with the growth of this business. These are covered briefly In the following rules of business. (1.)—The commission charged for handling whedt is only half that usually charged by brokers—that s, 1-16c. (2)—The Coe Commissions Co. charges no interest for carrying long stocks. They announce in some of thelr business literature that “if you are paying Interest on long stocks you are throwing money away.
