NATIONAL AFFAIRS

A mass of material is issued from the government printing-office each year: Senate Reports, House Reports, Senate Documents, House Documents, Senate Journal, House Journal, Congressional Record, messages of the presidents, departmental reports, and Statutes at Large. Associated Press despatches and despatches of Washington correspondents give valuable and for the most part reliable information. Of weekly and monthly magazines, the most helpful are the Review of Reviews, Nation, North American Review, Forum, Outlook, Atlantic Monthly, World's Work, Literary Digest, Independent, Harper's Weekly, and Collier's Weekly. More special and technical in character are the Political Science Quarterly, Annals of the American Academy of Social and Political Science, Yale Review, American Journal of Sociology, and various college and university publications.

ECONOMIC QUESTIONS

The Report of the Industrial Commission (19 vols., 19001902), prepared in accordance with an act of Congress approved June 18, 1898, contains valuable statistics and the testimony of experts, business men, laboring men, etc., an almost every subject connected with the economic and industrial conditions of the day. The work of the commission was outlined by experts and carried on with great success. While the pages of testimony and the work of experts employed by the commission are invaluable, the conclusions formulated by the commission are not in all cases warranted by the facts on which they are supposed to be based. The report is a mine of information to be worked over by economists. The new department of commerce and labor publishes a vast amount of statistical information: Consular Reports, Commercial Relations, Monthly Summaries of Commerce and Finance, the Census Reports, and the Reports of the Commissioner-General of Immigration. Recent volumes which embody the results of

the investigations made by the Industrial Commission are Adams and Sumner, Labor Problems (1905); R. T. Ely, Evolution of Industrial Society (1906); Prescott F. Hall, Immigration (1906); J. R. Commons, Races and Immigrants in America (1907).
