HOW WE ARE GOVERNED.

THIS COUNTRY OF oUks-By benjamin Har-
rison. New YORK: Charles Scribners Sons :.
Price 81 So.
A series of articles appeared several m onths
ago in the Ladies Home Journal treating on
how our country is governed. The author of
these articles was less parsonage than
Benjamin Harrison, ex-Presdent OF the United
States, and one OF the leading lawyers OF the
dav. The articles attracted considerable no.
tice, not only on account OF the celebrity OF
the writer but because Of the simplicity of his
style and the clearness with which he ex-
pounded the method by which the ship OF
state is manned and steered. Nj. Harrison
has now Carefully revised these articles, has
added much new matter to them and has pub
lished the whole in book form.
Many volumes have already been written on
this vast subject, but the trouble with most OF
them is that they were not written for the
comprehension of the masses, but rather for
students or lawyers whose training enabled
them to penetrate a heavy style. 1t is unhap-
PLY only too safe to assert that rs per
cent OF our citizens have only an indistinct
idea of how they are governed. They may
understand something about the election of a
Supervisor, State Governor, or the President,

VERSES WORTH READING.

ON THE HEJGHTS-By Lucius Harwood Foote
Fest Aurora: The Roycroft Prinlng-shop
Mr. Foote's verses having been going around
the country for so many years that his numer-
Gus friends will be glad 10 hear that they have
been gathered together under the above title
and published in charming book form. To
readers of Pacific Coast literature especially
Mr. Foote is we'll and favorably know, his
writings having appeared in every journal of
prominence in this city and in the State His
work has also been accepted by the most select
Eastern publications, and it is safe to say tn at
he has also many English admirers.
The present book consists of a few long
poems numerous shorter ones and four spIen-
did sonnets. The best sus tained effort is un-
doubte tedly Tent Life" which contains many
excellent lines. The majority of Mr. Foote'S
long poems, however, are not carefully exe-
cuted. They lack finish. His rhymes are some
times forced and his lines are n OF always met
rical. One notices these defects the more De-
cause the majority OF his shorter poems are

but further than that they seldom go. OF the
different governmental departments and of
their workings they know little. Of the ju-
dietary they are in ignorance except as to the
doings of the Justices of the Peace and Police
Court Judges. Mr.. Harrison has treated his
subject in a manner that will be understood
by the boy who has just left the high school.
OF especial interest to-day will be found his
remarks on Federal j Jurisdiction and on the
workings of the United States Supreme Court.
The constit ton appears as an appendix to
the volume, which will be printed on good
paper and bound in handsome and substan-
tial cover.

A LITERARY GEM.

THE SONNETs OF JOSE-MARIA HEREDIA-
Translated by Edward Robson Taylor san
Francisco: William Doxey. Price S! So
The literature of California has received
substantial and valuable addition in DR.. Tay-
lors translation of the sonnets OF Jose-M
de Heredia. Here1ia is a CUBAN by birth a
Frenchman by educa ton, and was born in
1912. His sonnets possess an individuality
that renders them almost equal in strength to
those of Michael Anglo and Wordsworth,
while placing them far above those of Rosetti
lie is undoubtedly entitled TO being placed in
a class by himself. In his preface DR.. Taylor
vouches for mis- metrical fuency ana for the
form, the Italian, in which the sonnets are
set. The thought in them will be apparent to
every reader.
However accom- plished the translator how
ever capable of writing polished verse him

cannot adequately be rendered into another
idiom. DR. Taylor's lines are so universally
even, and the thought they convey so clear,
that one instructive. y feels that in the original
they must be as near to perfection as 1t is pos
sible for poet to attain.
AS for the translate tors part of the work, it is
but justice to say that his efforts ire praise
worthy as if the sonnets were h s own. He
has large vocabulary and knows how to
choose his words; he has a keen sense OF
vowel values and must be as much at home in
the Spanish tongue as he is in the English.
